Vute first year kid has a reputation for being a "cupid" and is asked to find out about the scar on this other guys head. Turns out bro is afraid of light ing and generally hates the rain. This becomes the basis on which their relationship starts. The puppy seme x black car uke isnt really jam, and I felt like their relationship was too reliant on the whole "I comfort you when it rains" thing, which is why you COULD feel insecure when another guy has the meet-cute moment. The seme and uke just dont do or talk about anything outside of that... There was a lil oneshot side story in this about a muscle obsessed idiot and a muscle guy that I really liked tho. Mm overall, it's a better written story than most of what I've been reading, so I guess recency bias is gonna bump this from a 6 to a 7/10

Really did not feel the romance aspect of this one. Also the model and makeup artist / brand owner having a romantic relationship seems like a major conflict of interest. I know that's true for like every boss x subordinate relationship but for some reason I FELT it more here than other stories 5/10. It was unfortunately both a boring romance and a boring work drama for me

Renchin!

¯_(ツ)_/¯ I just wasnt interested. It felt too empty for me. 5/10

Sweet Crazy Days

Complete | mofumofu edako | 2016 released

Generally not a fan of controlling seme's or overly dependent couples that isolate themselves from every other relationship so this was very not my jam 3/10 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Blue Blood Vampire

Complete | Kuraka sui | 2022 released

....I feel like this is SUPPOSED to make sense but the last three chapters have just been repeats of themselves. They're not EXCAT copies, but the "plot" beats, the cinematography, character expressions--they're all being repeated in almost the same order. MC has been broken since ch 3, and we're not in his head to see if he's fighting it or lost in some dreamscape or what. I just feel so disconnected from everyone. The psycho shota vampire is just there to do all the twisted vampire stuff instead of Azure because I guess the author is scared we the audience won't like Azure if HE does all the fucked up things? The story doesnt have the room for a second antagonist???? Psychic Shota is taking up time in an already very limited manga??? What is the point The ending just feels like...bland. 3/10 for being disappointing
