Back to School
Finally an author calls out annoying possessive behaviour tropes and calls him out like he is, a toxic ex who ruined Chiwoo’s life and needed to go get therapy. Glad he’s gone and that Kyujin and Chiwoo get to live their best lives. Their time together was the best part I just wish we got more time with them instead of weirdo love triangle shenanigans, that’s the only reason why I can’t give this one a 5 star. I feel like the author just dragged that sort of the story and gets really annoying to a point but other than that I can see why this is considered a favorite. 7.5 out of 10
The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All
Ughhhhh why isn’t this completed I love these two so much, this is probably one of my favorite GL stories. I love all the characters. The art is gorgeous the green the mangaka uses is gorgeous. I’m not as good reviewing things I love lol, it’s just good. 10 out of 10.
My Husband Who Actually Turned Out to Be My Wife
High Key x Low Key
9.5 out of 10 MY GOD IT IS RIDICULOUSLY HARD TO FIND WHOLESOME POLY RELATIONSHIPS IN BLs. All their dynamics were so sweet and I like that the conflict of Yuusuke liking Kei. I didn't expect that at all. And i like how it closed off their arc in the end. Most threesome or poly relationship mangas always start with a love triangle and the two tops* don't ever like fall in love, they just tolerate each other. All the focus is on the bottom, but FINALLY they all just love each other equally in this one. No character feels like an outlier. Only tiny gripe, that would have propelled this manga into unforgettable mastapeece territory is if Yuusuke and Kei had a chance to do it together, or interact romantically. Cuz all we got was the kiss in the last chapter and their talk at the beach. I need like another side-story or something so they can more time together but other than that it was all good. NO RAPE. NO SEXUAL HARASSMENT. NO NON-CON. JUST PURE FLUFF FOR ONCE. All the characters are so fun to get attached to. This is definitely one I hope to forget quickly so I can read it again.
Far from Romance
9 out of 10 This was so fun. I loved that they didn't fall in love immediately and the reveal was gradual not immediate. I think that makes the progression feel better. The art was so pretty. Only thing is the dumb American/British kissing greeting or thanks stereotype lmao. Again: THIS IS A CUSTOM OF THE ITALIANS AND THE FRENCH. WE DON'T DO THIS LMAO, ESPECIALLY ON THE LIPS. IF ANYONE DOES THIS AND CLAIMS THAT THIS IS A CUSTOM THEY MIGHT BE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOU. But other than that I didn't have an issue. I like that british guy didn't force himself on Arata (aside from the kissing in his sleep scene, could've done without that) and he was patient and gave him space to decide what he wanted. That was nice. And it was so fun to see them go from average coworkers to friends to lovers. We stan healthy stories and healthy communication- I mean Horensou :3.
