madd's manga / #awwwwwkjaldfhakjhfaksljdh(158)

9 out of 10 Phew this was a wild ride, and it quite a blast. The art is absolutely gorgeous. I love the monochrome style with pops of colors. I like that it wasn't completely drama, doom and gloom throughout I got a good laugh in some parts. I never felt bored and both stories were enjoyable to go through. I fell in love with almost all the characters, even the evil ones. This is definitely something I'll reread in the future.

8.5 out of 10 That lie Sunohara told Shinomiya was so weird I was so confused I thought this was gonna be a darker story, but it turned out to be pretty wholesome. I'm not a big fan of when they refer to male gay characters with female terms (e.g. mom, wife, bride, etc.), but the way they described it I thought he was trans lmao. Thank goodness they clarified in the parents' story. Sunohara's f*g comment was unnecessary and left a really bad taste in my mouth, especially since we do end up finding out that his parents are gay too. Those are just minor things, but other than that the story was really beautiful, especially the parents' story. I like that we got to see the epilogue for both of their relationships as well. The art was very beautiful. I'm always a fan of artists who use a sketchy style. And through the generations stories are one of my favorite tropes, even though they're surprisingly very rare. This was a really nice gem to find.

8.5 out of 10 I would give this a higher score had it been just easier to follow and I mixed up some of the characters a lot. But I love each couple and the things that they went through. I got so attached I wish all the couples just had their own stories dedicated to them with the other characters making a minor cameo. The cat couple seriously had less appearances and they happened to be my favourite so it was a little disappointing. Their first chapter together was so confusing I had to reread a couple times to get what happened . I love stories where all the lives are connected it goes to show little things can affect someone else’s life. We even got an age gap that’s under 10 years f*cking finally. The art and overall story. None of the characters feel one note they all feel living and breathing, feels like a masterclass on character work lol. Very fantastic would totally reread.

7.5 out of 10 Glad this was not another abduction trope story, and for the most part there wasn't that much of a love triangle like I assumed. And that the seme stood up for the uke and kept him from just hiding his tastes just to satisfy sunbae, I think that's a really important lesson. Other than that, twas a simple story but enjoyable.

8.5 out of 10 I don't like the scene when he forces himself on the uke, but I'm glad he immediately realized his mistake and apologized. Other than that it was cute, it was nice to see the uke grow as a person and trust both his coworkers and himself. And I'm glad the seme quit his job for him, some sex worker characters in other mangas continue their jobs and it always felt off to me. Cuz you technically physically cheat on your partner everyday to make money, only to come back and do the same to them and claim that you can be trusted just because.

9 out of 10 This was so fun. I love the mangas that make fun of BL tropes and turn it into a comedy. It was so fun, wish we had more time to flesh out the mc (forgot his name) and Rika's relationship, but this was so hilarious. Plus it was fun to look into the mind of hormonal teenage boys who are complete dumbasses but at the same time openminded to trying new things and learning that love comes in different shapes and forms. These are definitely some iconic crackheads, and I'll probably reread it.

10 out of 10 MASTAPEECE talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it. This is some comedy that I never knew I needed in my life, and I had a blast.

8 out of 10 Kinda wanted to know more about the uke's background in acting but other than that it was pretty fine. It was hilarious seeing him actually try to teach him even though he knew it was just a joke lmao. Also it's so refreshing to see a strangers to lovers couple actually get to know each other over a course of time rather than just falling love after 2 days or weeks. (honestly that's why I prefer strangers to best friends to lovers cuz strangers to lovers story will skip the "Get to know" step) only thing is Now that someone pointed it out I can't unsee it now and I gotta take a point off for a light haired seme TT TT I just hate seeing it so often LIKE WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS BLONDE OR SOMETHING.

10 out of 10 Could've easily gone downhill with the cheating/jealousy misunderstanding plot but it easily subverted my expectations. Thank goodness. Again, very atmospheric and I love they showed how powerful communication is. :D

9 out of 10 I really love this author and how atmospheric they make their mangas look. I really enjoyed Kitaru Harekake no Ashita yo. I don't like age gap that much, but this one didn't feel predatory or anything, except the beginning when he admitted to purposefully dropping his clothes which was borderline cute and creepy at the same time. (Please nobody else do this) But other than that thank goodness for no serious cheating, love triangle, or crazy misunderstandings, for the most part they were good at communication. Can't wait to read the sequel :3.
