Mikami to Sato wa Mada Yamashikunai

i want to say words about this, but they won't come. uhhhh was good. i liked it. was fluffy, cute, wholesome. the art was clean. Solid 7/10

Shucchou Host Nyu Boy

Complete | SHINOU Ryo,Shinou Ryo | 2018 released

That was an absolute roller coaster of emotions. Simultaneously heartbreaking and sweet and smutty and so fuckin FUNNY. The art went HARD on the emotional moments, you can really feel Naruse screaming his emotions out. This had me in one kinda tears over the bag swap and then in a different tears again during the running scene and the end. It was wild. The art really makes them seem almost insane sometimes. If it was just a bit longer I'd give it a 9, but for me this was missing something so it's an 8/10.

Darkness Hound

Ongoing | Inumiso | 2014 released

Last read ch 8. the quintessential ahegao BL. Tbh don't love the art that much even tho it's good. story's alright, not my jam. I'm pretty satisfied with what i got. 6/10

Makitakun No Koiji wo Jamasuru To Shinu

Kare X Kare Kiss de Hannou shitano ha Seirigensyou desu

Ongoing | Yuki kokonoe | 2019 released

Dropped at ch 1. They could have just made the kid like a flirty college student in his mid 20s. Kid works at a flower shop, cmon its work so muc better if he was an adult. If you cant tell, I'm sick of massive age gap, adult x minor stuff. =_= -/10, cant rate

Teruteru Bouzu Tere Bouzu

Complete | YUKUE Moegi | 2015 released

Ch 1-2: Buddhist priest x his friend from high school. Lots of casual kinship, which I'd a plus for me. Rare to see a bald character, let's gooo Ch 3-4: kid at a video rental store has a voice kink for his coworkers voice. After a lil drama, they start going out. Kid is constantly red as a tomato. Cute! I like this mangaka quite a bit 7/10. Needs more from both couples tbh.

Oko-sama Box

Complete | AOMIYA Kara | 2015 released

The angst is strong with this one. Seme took advantage of uke's break up back in high school. They started a messy friends with benefits relationship until they graduated. Seme was and still is in love with the uke. Four years later, uke seeks out the seme and they have a lot of angsty back and forths. There's a fine line between understandable, character-driven drama and annoying, unrealistic miscommunication plots. This manga walks that line. It works just well enough and the characters are just forgivable enough that I could indulge in the angst without wanting to peel my face off over the fact that neither of them bothered to clarify their relationship for like, what, 1 year? 2 years? 6/10
