Usotsuki wa Shinshi no Hajimari

Complete | MATSUO Marta | 2000 released

That cant be it. No way that's it. We were just getting started. Jonathan is a med student just tryna live his life. He and his professor, the affluent Paul Haskins, take turns seducing each other, getting on each others nerves, and dancing endlessly around their almost lovers relationship. A lot of the conflict centers around honesty, being honest with others but and to yourself. The characters dredge up old, painful memories and have to grapple with a very homophobic, rich people culture that just... [insert sigh here] Update ch 8.5. ??????? The... the alternate ending feels like it resolved even less????? It was good. 8/10

Hitsuji no Kawa wo Kita Kemono

Ongoing | Kyuugou | 2000 released

Very... unsatisfying ending. I wish we'd seen more remorse from the seme and also getting stabbed at the end was kinda... unbearably cliche. The ending was meh. Overall, interesting. UPDATE w / ch 10. Is there more?? Sumimasen???? UPDATE vol 2 ch 10. NOOO GODDAMNIT JUST LET THIS MAN MOVE ON. I originally didn't like this story much but I'm changing my mind. Still don't like that Daichi went straight back to Tatsumi before Tatsumi started cleaning up but... I'm really rooting for Tatsumi to get his life together, not for Daichi but for himself. Fingers crossed this story does them justice.
