Moshi, Koi ga Mieta Nara
I really enjoyed this story. It has the perfect amount of drama, fluff scenes, and character development. I'm a little disappointed with how it ended, not a bad ending at all- I just had such high hopes that all 3 would end up together but that's from my own shipping so it doesn't hinder the story whatsoever. Really cute series and easy to read, I'd love to pick up another manga with a similar plot like this one.
Sei Kaihō Sorezore no Ainokatachi
This was a really cute read and it hit too close to home TTvTT To my understanding, this was supposed to be a one-shot manga so the chapter uploads are a little weird but nothing you wouldn't be able to read through. Characters were cute, few scenes were a little cringy and awkward (especially Mio meeting Reikas mom) but it didn't ruin the manga. I was hoping for them to have a baby too, felt like it would have fit considering how Reika didn't think she would be able to marry Mio or have a baby with her- and is the main reason she left her- but I can live with them only being married. Could definitely see a reprise/ revisit of them a few years down the line with a bigger bar and a baby on the way. All in all, I give it 3 out of 5 stars. The read was cute, but it didn't really grab my attention. Story was kinda cliché and bland.
For Garbage
I liked Jia's character. The design and personality went really well together, my only critique is how slow the story went from the point of revenge to it actually happening-which I get why the author did it that way, but I felt like the reveal should have been just as detailed. It felt just a little lackluster to have so many chapters dedicated on when, how, and why revenge would be happening only for it to be dwindle by a few chapters of it actually happening. Felt like that "sweet revenge dessert" wasn't even a main point of the story anymore to have it finish so quickly once her husband actually found out/ when unnie asked for the divorce. The ending felt rushed, but I'm still very excited for the side stories. I'd love to see more of the side characters and where their lives went after everything that's happened.
Moonlight Garden (Kang Unnie)
AAAAHHHHHH! This manhua is so freaking cute! I loved It all! There wasn't one bad chapter! And if it's one thing I appreciate more than anything when it comes to a good story is the twists! Couldn't have written it better if they tried! It's these types of reads that makes you want to keep coming back waiting for the next update because you're so eager to know what's going to happen next! This was a very entertaining, informative, and passionate read, easily a top teir yuri, up there with WDFTS, citrus, Bloom Into You, and Tamin De Gushi.
The Real Momoka
I liked this. For one, I always enjoy this author because I really like their artwork, and for two, I freaking love bartender characters and I have no idea why! Also the bartender is so freaking cute! My only criticism is the "I have feelings for you but I won't be honest with you or with myself because I don't want to get hurt, but surprise! I've hurt us both in the process!" Cliché... it's been so outplayed and overdone that it makes all the stories with the same plot unrecognizable and they hardly stand out. Not to say that I don't enjoy that kind of chiche, it's just difficult to pull it off and have a good story, especially with a oneshot. All in all though it was a cute read.
Raubritter
The story is only slightly difficult to get into, but after the first 2 chapters, it's actually a pretty good read. It's different, but good. I love art styles like this. It's always pleasing to read through even if the story is trash (which I'm not saying this story was, I really enjoyed it). One thing that will always keep me coming back for more of this authors work is the art style and how well they make their personalities fir their characters to a T, it makes reading the story 5 times better when you know who everyone is and what everyone does from the beginning and not getting confused or mixed up towards the middle. I'm disappointed that it was so short, but good yuris dont need to be chapters long when they're done right. Super cute and entertaining read that will always make me go back and reread it whenever I have the opportunity to stumble across it.
Cirque Arachne
It might be because I have a soft spot for this artist, but they'll always receive 5 stars from me. I felt the same way about Raubritter, the artwork- always beautiful, the characters- always great, the story- has the potential to be incredibly well written if given the time and volumes, but for the short chapters that have been released by this artist, none have ever made me want to not continue reading. The artwork alone is what keeps me a faithful reader. Beautifully written story, albeit fast-paced, full of well written characters booming with personality. I just wish these great series weren't just 6 chapters short. Easy and fast read that you won't regret, beautiful artwork that you'll always remember.
Confidentiality
Beautiful manhua with beautiful characters and storytelling. I swooned over Lee Sun the second I saw her, and Doyoung had my heart the instant I saw his personality. I love how this story was written, I just wish it could have gone on a little longer to get better closure of some of the characters, but the author did a good job of closing those loose ends. If I have one critique, it would be that I would have liked to see a little more SM play between Sun and Doyoung since she really discovered that side of herself through him, it just felt like that switch got flipped for her and that's all we really get. I would have loved to see them exploring their kinks, discovering new toys and styles, and really bonding over that- not to say the story wasn't perfect the way it is, I would have just enjoyed it a bit more if their alone time showed more of that. I'd love to see a side story in the future about Robin and his new girlfriend or even Jia and Bom (because Yuri will always be my #1 genre) but I don't believe the creator has any plans of making a side story. All in all, this was such a great read, the art, the storytelling, the emotions- all of it was great from beginning to end despite it wrapping up the problem and solution so quickly.
Lilith 2
I had to go back to reread this to give it a better rating. I was too harsh on it the first time because as I was reading it, I kept comparing it to What Does The Fox Say because of the similarities and that jaded my opinion of it. Even then, I was still a little reluctant to give it 4 stars because the story really did remind me so much of WDTFS for obvious reasons outside of the BDSM. The only character worth reading for after a certain point is Sulhwa and I still stand by my opinion that Jaehee doesn't deserve her. I can't say she would have been better off with Huilin, but I felt like the story would have been better if it ended with Jaehee on her own after finally realizing what true love is- Sulhwa was so eager to run back to her and take her back after being hurt by her so many times that it made me almost sick. Sulhwa should have found better, Jaehee should have learned to love and lose, and Huilin... well, I would have liked to have seen more of a redemption from her than a sob apology, so I still don't think she deserves happiness for all she's done, but that's just me. The story would have been so good if the author was more spontaneous in their endings, characters don't need to have happy endings in order for the story to feel like it's completed and that's what I felt like the author was trying to do. All in all, the read wasn't boring in the slightest, there is enough smut and drama to keep anyone entertained, my only criticism is I wish the characters were written a little better. They're all such cliché villains and heros that if it wasn't for the smut, it would have been difficult for me to keep reading but cliché is okay if the story itself is good, so good job author. I'd love a spin-off series of Huilin getting more of a redemption or even U-Young Sun and that student hitting it off.
