Koroshi-ya to freeter
Fun, silly, and light - very self-aware and better for it. S'just cute, that's all there is! Ch. 2-4 update: Still very cliche but fun uwu
Hijoushoku to Gochisou
It's delightfully dark, and beautifully drawn. A proper fairytale I think, the perfect mix between heartwarming and horror
Escalate
Well damn <3 See this is why I love tera and/or alternate anatomy - discovery can be so fun! Inviting someone into finding out just what makes you so different, even if some elements are familiar? Delightful. Also beautiful! Such great expressions. This is how you write intimacy <3
Tiger & Bunny dj - Tenori Neko Oji with Kuro
Micro and selfcest, /and/ Tiger and Bunny.... That's a lot of really good things
Totsukuni no Shoujo
Ah,, wow What a stunning story, beautifully illustrated, and very slowly told. I honestly think it's the perfect pacing for it, it's a very somber horror story really, but wrapped up in day-to-day life of a very cute young girl. Really masterful It's also rather nostalgic, it feels kind of similar - in art style - to some of the western-style comics I used to read when I was young. I think it suits the tone perfectly Update: So I found some raws past ch.35 and now I'm crying Ch.35 et al update: Teacher is a stupid, selfish man and I'm crying for him so much, to his final moments he was trying to find a way to show Shiva how much he loves her To the end: Hhhhhhhhhhhhhh. A stunning story, through and through. Unexpected, but well set up, and beautiful to the very last. Wonderful
Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai VS Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko
Quite well executed, fun and well-made, art included. I love subverted well-worn tropes, which this one is honestly less about that and more about observing them from a realistic standpoint, which is also fun. I think my favourite point raised was about the way people view the people they like as more attractive than they objectively are - Yuu brings up a good point that these gay lads shouldn't be comparing the men they like to ladies, since they like men! Plus the fetishization(?) of completely ordinary exposed skin kinda shows how weird some of these people are, looking for any excuse to get their rocks off from their interest's appearance. Maybe it's all the hormones lol

Challengers
I've read this like four times I just need to actually rate it lol Aight, fifth time, final rating! S'fuckin' great, hella fluffy, and shows the backstory of KoiBo, what more could I really ask for. I mean yeah, there's a lot of Misunderstandings About Queerness, but it was 90s Japan lol
