Orokamono Wangeru Naito
Upset cuz his boyfriend stole all his money and abandoned him, uke recklessly climbed up a mountain, almost dies, and has to be saved by a gruff policeman. They spend one steamy night together and the uke falls in love. policeman seme has some emotional trauma having lost his best friend to a river rescue and it takes a while for him to open up. Is good. Solid 7 or 8/10 name on MAL is Orokamono Wangel Night (lmao "wangel")
Trip Lovers
What a surprise! An isekai bl into a fantasy world that feels mostly well constructed with unique art. Most characters get introduced and then are never relevant again, which is a shame. I like the idea of a japanese man just making an endless amount of okonomiyaki in a fantasy world and I love his dedication to making octopus popular even tho its feared everywhere. Overall pretty good. 6/10

Nooooooo dont be a one shot I wanna see what happens next bruhhhhh. Short and sweet I guess. If it was longer I might give it a higher score but it's still a 7/10

Last read ch 6.5. Guy was raised to be the sacrifice for the local god but turns out the god is a giant snake who uses modern utilities and has no need for a sacrifice but the sacrifice refuses to leave until he's been sacrificed. They start living together and mr sacrifice starts to realize he actually wanted to live but that makes him enticing to previously uninterested snake god. They work on some feelings, fall in love, fuck, and decide to have a kid to satisfy the sacrifice pact at the end. (we don't get to see any kids) Good 7/10
Bokura no Tsuzuki
Uke and seme were friends for a short while as kids Uke moves away but comes back some years later in high school. He's cold and shy around the seme and his friends but they eventually bumbled their way into friendship and bumbled their way into a romantic relationship. Has slow burn vibes even tho it's very not slow burn. Had a 10/10 grandma who apparently makes bomb fried chicken 7/10
Honto ni Homo na no?
That was better than I thought. I'm a sucker for angst so this was great. Had some slow burn vibes despite being 3 chapters. I like casual skinship friendships so this was also up my alley. 7/10
Itoshii Hito (SAKU Minori)
Very sweet and fluffy story about a gay, single father whose main job is writing picture books and another gay man working at a boutique who's all but given up in love. Was very wholesome minus the very dubious bj scene at the start. 7 or 8/10
The Beast That Yearns To Be Tamed
Tough high schooler wants to be pampered so he hires a rental older brother and is not long before they're doing things brothers should not do lol. Junta is cute! I like his kinda awkward personality. Hes tough but sweet especially to his siblings. Arata also really nice. Hes got a fun, outgoing personality and he takes good care of junta. We got some good background characters and a solid fight at the end Kinda keep forgetting junta is a highs schooler which makes this whole relationship weird. Overall 7 or 8/10
This Ending
7/10. it was good but minus points cuz the ending was so unsatisfying. it feels like nothing get resolved.
Are ga Shitai, Kore ga Hoshii.
