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.

Mukuchi na Omoi wa Koi to Naru

Ongoing | Edanaka | 2000 released

Bright and friendly tall guy x kinda socially awkward handsome mellow guy. I do like the sunshine x anxious dynamic. They were cute! The relationship progresses slowly and naturally and they both figure out how to voice what they want. 7/10

Kuchizuke Wa Niji No Ue De

Complete | kakine | 2011 released

I wish there was more to flesh out the powers and relationships ship. It was pretty cute tho. A man who brings rain and a man who brings sun. I get its implied that momo's sun powers stop bc hes angsty about the sun guy but I wish they'd been more clear had hopes for this but wound up just a bit disappointing so 5/10

Hoshoku Taishou Hinadori-kun

Ongoing | Ayato miyoshi | 2019 released

is cute. singers-idols. bad boy band with one actual bad boy and one fluff ball, some angst. was pretty good. 6/10.

Pretty cute. It's a fairly standard tribe x Japanese BL (which is rare but they all have the same plot). I have a sweet spot for children so I teared up when they were trying to hard to keep Ryo on the island. I never know how to feel about "modernizing" tribe stories so that was a strange undertone for me. Also kinda dont believe the tribe dowsnr know what kissing is. It might mean smth different across cultures but mouth to mouth is pretty universal. Anyway. Is pretty good 6/10

Orokamono Wangeru Naito

Complete | MACHIYA Hatoko | 2019 released

Upset cuz his boyfriend stole all his money and abandoned him, uke recklessly climbed up a mountain, almost dies, and has to be saved by a gruff policeman. They spend one steamy night together and the uke falls in love. policeman seme has some emotional trauma having lost his best friend to a river rescue and it takes a while for him to open up. Is good. Solid 7 or 8/10 name on MAL is Orokamono Wangel Night (lmao "wangel")

Sayonara Game (minaduki Yuu)

Complete | minaduki yuu | 2016 released

Stock

Complete | kagis | 2019 released

Nooooooo dont be a one shot I wanna see what happens next bruhhhhh. Short and sweet I guess. If it was longer I might give it a higher score but it's still a 7/10

Taka to Tonbi to Aburaage

Complete | ROKURO Kuro | 2014 released

last story is my favorite Story 1: guy's popular friend confesses to him and theres a bit of messy feelings Story 2: cute guy from story 1 befriends a gloomy big guy Story 3: Baker and his younger childhood friends. Light angst tag is referring to this one Overall cute. 6/10

Nichijou Climax

Complete | LONDON Pariko | 2017 released

Alright first of all their landlord Yoshimi is the 10/10. Her selling them that house for a massive discount was super sweet and I love her cranky kindness energy. There were some many complex emotions in this one. The entire plot and character drama revolving around the promises they've made to each other over the years and how some of those promises is just impossible to keep, that was incredible. High 8/10. Maybe if I reread it its be higher?
