stressedpenguin's manga / #not BL(84)

Hentai. Too many rape scenes -_-

what a cop out ending tho... they built such an interesting mystery only to say SIKE IT WAS A COMA HAHAHAH :/ The last half had so much potential even if the first half was just horny but then they just went the coma route. So lame. 6/10 i guess

Lmao this poor guy keeps glitching in and out of this other world and unintentionally helping people out but he's completely oblivious every time he swaps 5/10

It's a oneshot so theres not much it can do. Was very cliche shonen manga-y. Yknow. Sealed ice demon. Damsel in distress. Guy with ice powers. We end on an emotionally charged fight. Tada. Minor gripe: the girl gets pissed at the fire guy who barging in on her during her bath BUT SHE WAS LITERALLY BEING FROZEN BY AN ICE MONSTER SPAWNING IN THE BATH WATER??? She's like "perv!" but he was just... saving her life... It's a super minor moment but completely broke the immersion for me. 5/10

Cute! Tsundere witch in love with the cool witch hunter who's been after her for a while. Is a one shot so not much to go off of but I like the way this mangaka draws and treats their girls this is the first chap of a mini series about these two (I think) 6 or 7/10

Woman is in love with her boss who is married to some shitty guy who's probably cheating on her. She and her boss start an affair of their own. There's some angst, a lil bit of drama, and a cheesy happy ending. There's a bit of sexism and traditional patriarchal ideas thrown around that the characters have to deal with. Didn't really get into those, but I appreciate that they brought them up and treated them seriously This didn't really grip me much. The plot was pretty standard for an office romance. As a minor gripe: why did they not have nipples? 6/10. I felt absolutely nothing reading this but plus points for having women who look like grown adults and not children. My expectations are rock bottom.

One shot following the story of I Love You So Much, I Hate You. Is a cute follow up, but I didn't care for the main story so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Ngl... it's kinda weird that shes having sex with two brothers and their uncle... and then when she marries the uncle... shes now their aunt. Like... what in the Alabama did I just read? It was consensual but I really really did not like that whole... possessive... monologue(?) the uncle had. Idk. This was on the verge of a yikes for me Also gripe: This story really refused to show her pregnant huh? She had a flat stomach the entire frickin time =_= 5/10. Not as bad as I was expecting

Daughter of the yakuza becomes the teacher of a bunch if high school delinquents. She's so much fun and I love the genuine, caring, rough and tumble relationship she's built with her students. She's fiercely protective of them and they appreciate her in their own clumsy way. All the characters a super fun. I love the yakuza guys crying everytime something goes down with Yankumi. I also appreciate that they're still immoral yakuza even if they fiercely value family, loyalty and honor. Honestly this is (almosy) everything I wanted GTO to be. About a third thru, the focus shifts from the students to the yakuza, which is a shame cuz I was really enjoying the teacherness. We never REALLY get to know the students individually. Kuma I think is the only one we get to know on a deeper level. (me huffing copium that a manga from the early 2000s will have progressive ideas and treat women like people. Edit: To my surprise, it actually kinda did! Kinda!) We got SO close to getting a romance free story but tbh it wasnt intrusive and did add to the comedy of the characters. SPOILER I did almost cry over Shinohara leaving at the end. It really felt like they were losing a member of the family. Pain. Overall, I honestly enjoyed this a lot. Some of it hasn't aged well like the only openly gay teacher being an actual pedo and some... many... if the comments about the only other female teacher but I was pleasantly surprised that it wasnt grotesquely sexist or bigoted. So like. Sugoi. 7/10
