Yane's manga / #BL(164)

My rating: 6/10 This would be the perfect slow burn, their dynamic fits this trope so well. But bc it's so short, it's all very rushed and thus loses some of its appeal. Also, I'm not a fan of the rape at the beginning. The ending is bittersweet, it all circles around the theme "loneliness". FANTASY, COUNTRYSIDE Unable to fit in in the city, the uke decides to take a break taking care of his uncle's house in the countryside. But in the nearby forest, he meets the lonely guardian dog (seme) of an abandoned shrine who begs him to become his master.

My rating: 7/10 It's a pretty cute story which focuses on the emotional part instead of the action. I love how devoted and loving the seme is. The uke may be insecure and weak but it fits his character and is part of the conflict. The ending's rushed. SCHOOL LIFE, CUTE When Eunjae, a boy who's always been sickly, transfers schools, he not only encounters new friends but also Jin-Hyeon, a popular boy he's met in the hospital many years ago ...

My rating: 8/10 I love the characters. They feel "human" with all their little flaws and ways of thinking. The pacing is perfect, they slowly fall in love without expecting it. It's a beautiful story. SCHOOL ROMANCE, CUTE Seryou Touji is a popular first-year who goes out with everyone who confesses to him on a Monday for 7 days. One day, Shino Yuzuru jokingly asks him out just to see how he reacts. But Seryou takes him seriously.

My rating: 7/10 It's kinda like an enemies to lovers but a bit more complicated. The pacing is good, their shared past gets slowly revealed which keeps up the suspense. I love seeing them grow closer with the kid. REUNION, CHILD, ROOMMATES After Ririko's death, her daughter gets to know two of her mother's exes: her possible dads. According to the will the three of them will have to spend 3 moths together until the child can decide who'll be her dad. But that isn't easy, especially since her dads share a difficult past.
