12 Zodiac Boys

Complete | Shidatsu Takayuki | 2000 released

Collection of short stories, all pretty cute but kinda unsatisfying to me. Also didnt really feel like the zodiac part was relevant most of the time but tbh I know nothing about astrology so im assuming all these characters were their astrology stereotypes. Idk. 5/10

Love So Pure

Complete | PlanB | 2000 released

Hands down most impressive part is how the story and characters still managed to have fun and be happy despite all the heavy, dark, and often violent lives they had to live. They all hang out and talk to each other about their problems. Everyone gets character development that helps them become happier. They're just one big supportive family in the end and I love them. Update ch 17. Dude this girl fucking sucks. You dont just out people like that and what the hell did she mean by "wants to do that" after watching someone else's nonconsensual sex tape WTH Update ch 34. I genuinely was not expecting to Sohae's character growth. A lot of it obviously happens off screen but I went from hating this girl to being sympathetic to laughing at her dynamic with the new group. I love Yosef being so crassly supportive and just chillin on the couch while they discuss how Jihyun should confess to Yohan. The characters lives and history are so heavy yet they're so fun. I'm scared for season 2. Pls just let them be happy Update ch 54. HELL yeah season 2 is about yosef and daeshik! Bruh yosef is so gentle and massive his hand is as wide as Daeshik's waist Update ch 87. They are a TEAM! They are FRIENDS! They are WORKING together and getting THERAPY and IMPROVING their COMMUNICATION and EXPRESSING THEMSELVES and I'm so fucking happy and why they hell is there still 20 chapters bro I'm scared pls just let them be happy Update ch 113. BRO I LOVW THEM ALL SO MUCH!!! All their silly little antics, the fact that they're all such sweet friends, all of it! Maybe my one complaint is that everyone got paired romantically in the end, and it felt unnecessary. One of these days we'll get aro / ace rep. Also gimme scruffy Yosef back I liked his longer hair 9/10 but seriously debating a 10/10
