OnlyMes's manga / #slice of life(26)

At this point, I'm fully convinced the author wants to fuck their mother. Almost all their work revolvs around a daughter falling in love with her mother. That being said, I still gave this yuri 5 stars because outside of the incest (which, next to NTR, is a bottom tier genre for me personally) this manga was such a joy to read. I love to laugh so any comedy that's done right and actually makes me laugh out loud deserves high marks from me, regardless of the context. I loved the duos and the third wall breaks, I honestly don't think I would have had the stomach to read this if it wasn't for that. This artist has the potential to make some pretty phenomenal, stand-outish yuris if they ever let go of their mother complex. Overall, the story wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Every character is cute and I enjoyed scenes from every one of them, the progression (or lack of I guess) restores a little faith in me and is keeping me from dropping it- because the mother, for the most part, indulges in her daughters antics for the sake of wanting to be a better mother and not really understanding what all comes with that. Unlike their first story (1 x 1/2 My Half of You) where the mother from that story gave thought about dating and potentionally sleeping with her daughter. One other thing I don't quite like is the family tree. It seems Sayaka (the mother) married her first cousin on her dad's side and had a child (Yuuki) with him. Yeah, cultural differences, I understand, but was there any good reason to make that prominent not once, but twice so far? I hope this ends well, I like the story and the characters so far.

This is how a one-shot should be done! For a short story, it was so incredibly well written! I loved the pace of the characters, the placement of tension, the mood, everything fit so well together! It's cute, it shows a development, not only that, but it gave the readers a glimpse of their future with us knowing at the very end how they both feel about each other without having to rely on fan service or cliché accidental hook-ups, this takes immense attention to detail when working on a romance one-shot so my hat's off to the author. Beautiful story, beautiful art, beautiful characters, I can't wait to read more from them in the future.

This manga was really cute, but dang it, if I had a dollar for every time Kayoko or Kaori chose not to speak on their thoughts to the other person, I'd have enough money to buy the damn volume set. Literally every obstacle or challenge either of them faced in this manga was strictly because of a lack of communication. Talk to each other, let the other know how much you love them, let them know when something is troubling you, I never understood the whole "I'll just keep it to myself to avoid hurting you" cliché when that does literally more harm than good, especially if the other person has to find out about it indirectly. One or two times, I can relate, but EVERY time there was a conflict of interest it was because of a lack of communication. Other than that issue, I loved the story. I prefer yuris like these, ones that are cute and fluffy, ones that make my heart flutter. Kayoko was such an innocently cute character and Kaori was such a striking beauty. I really enjoyed reading through this, watching them grow and discover things about themselves and each other, and working through their problems. It tackled adult relationships so well, and I give it high marks for that. I was sad to see it end, but I'm so satisfied with the story's wrap up and conclusion. If there is a chance of this getting a side story, I would LOVE to see Kayoko and her friend Mahiro work through their problems they seem to have. I hate that it ended and we couldn't get closure from Mahiro, who's going to continue her life being in love with her friend who she knows she'll never have a chance with, let alone being able to truly confess to her out of fear of losing their friendship. She's been waiting by Kayokos side for years, I think she deserves happiness of her own so I'm very disappointed on where her story arch ended.

Super cute story and very easy to read. I really liked how it started off, but I didn't care for Yunas personality, however I do understand that her arrogance made the story what it was. I loved Mins character, that boyish style with a cool and coy personality is such a great character trope regardless of the content of the writing. If I have to leave a critique, it would be how Min ended up leaving her first love for Yuna. I don't believe fake lovers should end up together to make a good story, while I agree with the majority that Min's professor didn't deserve her, I personally didn't think Min deserved Yuna in that respect either. I would have loved for Yuna to have ended up with Seyun, but regardless of the outcome, the story itself would have still be good. Here's hoping we get a side story about the professor or even Seyun if we're lucky, I'd be thrilled to read more of this story.

A bit different compared to what I normally read, but this one of a kind story really grabbed my attention from the very beginning until the very end. What I can appreciate the most about this series is how no character beats around the bush, they know exactly what they want, and when they have an issue or something they want to address, they communicate that- if not in the same chapter, then the very next. It was always so frustrating for me reading yuris in the past where so much of the conflicts came from someone not being honest with the person in question so they end up getting hurt! I get it prolongs the story, but if the story itself isn't that good of a read because it relies on cliché tropes like so many other yuris, then outplayed conflicts of interest just makes it so much harder to read through when the readers already know what to expect for the solution. I love the way this story introduced Boksil, a hopeless romantic who had no luck at dating, but didn't let that deter her. If I'd have never looked at the cover photo for the manhua, I would have never guessed that Boksil and DoYoon wouldn't have ended up together. Brave decision to write a story around falling in love with one character just to end up with the characters best friend. I loved Seim's character, but DoYoon was an easy favorite for me. If anyone in this story deserved a happy ending, it was her, and I'm glad she didn't let her first love ruin her perspective on relationships, I had the most worry for her because of that and, although I saw it coming, I knew she and JiYoo would end up together- which I'm also very thrilled for. All in all, the story was amazing, funny, and original, the characters have so much depth and development, and there is so much individuality put into each character introduced, and the artwork is really pretty. Cute, quick, and easy read, this won't be a yuri anyone would regret reading.

It's been at least 10 years since the last time I've read something by this author, and going back and rereading Sweet Little Devil now gave me so much nostalgia! Now that I comprehend more of this story, it really is so much more than smut. These characters are so well thought out and deeply rooted to one another to the last detail. After all these years, I was hoping to get another series of Ristuko and Sayo in their adult life with the possibility of going overseas to get married, but I guess that will just be something I think of when I fall asleep now lol. I forgot how much I enjoyed reading this series, how those soft spoken pillow talk scenes really made my heart skip. Despite this being an old manga, it's a fantastic read, I'm glad I was able to stumble across it again.

This was such a cute yaoi, which is saying a lot coming from someone as obsessed with yuri as I am. Loved each and every character introduced, but just slightly underwhelmed with how the story was led. The concept was a little lost on me, I was disappointed that that was the way they wanted to lead into the relationship portion of the story, but nonetheless, it was still extremely entertaining to read through. Loved the characters, loved the tone, and loved the pairings. This author does some very good yaois and huge props for making such great characters without the need of debt or rªpe culture.

Not much to really say about this one. It's cute, but the plot is all over the place. Or lack of plot? I don't know, not all stories need a plot, but for this to have so many chapters, it read like an anthology than a book. I'm never sure what's going on. Be that as it may, the characters are really cute and it's a pretty simple read.

Too cute for words! This is the kind of yuri I eat up! Everything was done so perfectly! From the story to the art, down to the characters and their traits, this was definitely a 10 out of 10 for me! I try to leave at least one honest critique for every thing I read, but for the life of me, I can't think of a single thing that I think could have been done better with this manga. I may be hyping this up more than I should, but it's been such a long time since I've read such a wholesome, sweet, and funny yuri with such great characters, especially one that can be this popular and not have to rely on sex scenes or fan service. Great work, great writing, fantastic read, this will be one that'll be on my reread list for sure.

This was entirely too cute to handle, I typically don't leave comments on anthologies since it's an amalgamation of authors and stories, but this anthology in particular really did something too me. Not sure what it was, but I actually started crying reading the fox wedding story, hormones are a hell or a thing. But to get back on topic, all of the stories were beautiful and well worth the read. I'd love to own the physical copy of this just to have it in my collection because it's something I can definitely see myself going back to reread because of how sweet and cute it was.
