Adatsubaki Yugamite Haguruma

Complete | Fukiya furo | 2019 released

The complex feelings and pain in this already. This is really good I'm kinda scared to keep going. Update ch 6. Wow. I'm in pain. The reveal. The angst. It feels almost like a betrayal. Update ch 11. Honestly, this didn't end quite the way I expected, but I'm still overall satisfied. Glad it wrapped up well. 9/10

pwp but honestly.... their relationship was cute and the smut 10/10 7/10

Yuki No Shita No Qualia

Complete | kii kanna | 2014 released

Really atmospheric and unique art but the botanist guy kinda.... sucked? Like Umi gets assaulted and mr botanist is like "that's what you get" like ??? It's literally not tho??? And this never comes up again. Botanist guy is just homophobic until hes not. Idk. I wanna say this feels grounded but that's not quite it. It feels floaty or like rather than being grounded on earth were being grounded to a cloud? 5 or 6/10. This wasnt it for me

The Good Teacher

Complete | Eeej | 2020 released

I don't remember if I actually finished this one. go back and reread. i remember liking this one. it's got some standout art. I gave this an 8/10 and i'll see if i stand by that when i reread it.

Yuusha In Maou N Chi

Ongoing | inutoki,shouhei | 2014 released

Bl I can talk about A hero who cant control his strength and is super naive goes to live with the demon king because that's the only place that will take him. So far it's been cute and interesting. The art can be hard to read. Update: THATS IT?!?!? NOOOOOOOOO Ayo that was too short. I wanna see more of them bruhhhh Again, the art can be messy and hard to read so sometimes I was a bit lost but I liked the characters and the whole section where the hero guy dies is super sad. Was gonna give this a 7 but the art style and story is so unique ima bump it up to a solid 8/10.

Psychedelia

Complete | Takahashi Hidebu | 2000 released

Police man's senpai gets shot and shows up at his house as a wandering spirit. The art is so unique its refreshing af. The story spends the entire time just letting the two men talk, reflect, and panic internally (on the seme's part) until the confession and subsequent get together. I wasnt THAT into the story or even the characters just bc personal preference, but the art and storytelling is so good... Totally missed the COVID setting bit cuz Japan wears masks all the time anyway. ^_^; Personally a 6/10 but objectively like an 8/10.

What a surprise! An isekai bl into a fantasy world that feels mostly well constructed with unique art. Most characters get introduced and then are never relevant again, which is a shame. I like the idea of a japanese man just making an endless amount of okonomiyaki in a fantasy world and I love his dedication to making octopus popular even tho its feared everywhere. Overall pretty good. 6/10
