Complete | Isiki | 2019 released

I... I was confused the whole time. Is there a prequel to this? Did I miss something? There was a lot of poetic...ness in this one that kinda obscured the meaning of... anything? everything? The only way we know theres two characters are in love is because they're in a BL, otherwise I wasnt feeling it. They barely talk ever. Also the MC suddenly brings up their mothers at the end and I still dont know why? I either missed everything or the story sucked at conveying its meaning 3/10 too much poetry

Osananajimi to Hajimeru Aijin

Ongoing | Sani Syzygy | 2000 released

Cute! Lowkey yakuza seme is In love with his airhead childhood friend. Childhood friend suddenly announces he wants to be seme's mistress and they start fucking weekly. These two idiots are in love but just don't know it. I like their origin story too, very cute and wholesome Good 6 or 7/10

Run Away, Assistant Manager Ha!

Complete | LattePanda | 2000 released

10/10 background characters Edit: I'm rereading this rn (on ch 35) as the official translation comes out and I'm enjoying it a lot more. Probably because I'm actually in the mood for an indulgent fluff fest with a rich hot bf x low self esteem cutie whose actually competent Juwon winds up becoming the fwb of the no. 1 model and fluffy shenanigans ensue. Juwon's boss is abusive and exploitative and I felt do bad for him. Aiden was very sweet and supportive. There was a bit of drama but not much and not too long. Overall, it was sweet and fluffy, but it kinda started to lose me halfway. Things just felt weightless. 6/10

Complete | AIBA Kyoko | 2020 released

Two childhood friends mutually and unknowingly manipulate each other into a...romantic relationship. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Okay that turned out surprisingly wholesome??? They actually talked it out and the seme apologized for being a manipulative jerk? I was not expecting that. 6/10. Normally this kinda twisted melodrama annoying the crap outta me but this one turns out surprisingly good O_O

Kyou Kara Omega ni Narimashita

Complete | Maiki Sachi | 2018 released

Dude the alpha sucked, just be honest about your feelings and stop saying misleading things. The omega too was pretty annoying and very helpless as is thpvual for omegaverse stories. This was the most basic story you could tell about an alpha omega pairing ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 4/10 its whatever.

Tomodachi Ijou no Koto, Shitai.

Gotsugou Simulation

Ongoing | Suiyoubi | 2019 released

Last read ch 6. Lowkey confused cuz I though ch 1 said they were dating?? But no?? Anyway, very fluffy, a little dumb, and I dont love the character designs. But still enjoyable so far Update ch 6. Wait, was that the end? 5/10?

Osananajimi Dakedo Seiteki ni Suki desu.

Ongoing | Sakumoto ayu | 2022 released

Dropped at ch 1. Well that escalated quickly. (I say that as most BL doesn't) Another childhood friends that are secretly in love with each other and also very dumb and they have sex to graduate from virginity I've read enough similar stories that I don't feel like continuing. Uke is a dumbass airhead. Seme is an expressionless cool guy and is pretty manipulative. -/10, cant really rate but that first chapter gets a 4/10.

Kuchibiruiro no Bara no Hana

Ch 1-2: high schooler x his not blood related uncle have had the hots for each other since they were actual children. Wasn't a fan. Ch 3-5: Seme confessed 5 years ago but chickened out and said it was a joke. They live together and the uke is annoyed the seme hasnt completed his confession yet. Overall, 5/10
