Yane's manga / #Sweet(76)

My rating: 6,5/10 It's a cute story with a bit of drama mixed in. The plot isn't that special but it's well written so I enjoyed it. The uke is antisocial and aloof, the seme's extroverted and playful, quite the opposites. I wish the author would've made more of the unrequited love, it's dropped too easily. SCHOOL LIFE, UNREQUITED LOVE A high school student (uke) who has problems dealing with human relationships is secretly in love with his only friend. But then his playful classmate (seme) notices it and offers to help him bc he likes the uke.

My rating: 10/10 This is such a beautiful story, it will always hold a special place in my heart. The themes are family, loss, dreams and the sacrifices you make to achieve them. The characters are complex and especially the seme has a character growth. Him coming from a special community of people who live like their ancestors lifts this to another level and allows the story to discuss the question "What is happiness?" RELIGION, BAR, PROSTITUTE An Amish boy (seme) living in America in the 1980s travels to a bar for Rumspringa, a traditional coming-of-age period for members of the Amish community where the adolescent leaves the enclosed religious community to take part in the outside world. There, Theo meets a waiter (uke) who abandoned his dream to be a dancer.

My rating: 8/10 It's the spinn-off of Katakoi × Alliance and it's super cute, I love it. The main characters are all lovable, there's not one annoying person here. It's just a wholesome read. The uke's adorable, kind and positive. The seme's more serious but actually a tease. COLLEGE, AGE GAP, FLUFF A college student (uke) asks an associate professor (seme) for love advice after hearing about him from his fellow students. They end up in an arrangement where the uke works as his part-timer and the seme supports him, but will this work like planned when the seme's actually gay?

My rating: 9/10 It's quite enjoyable, really funny too. It's written from the ML's pov. He's highly intelligent and devoid of emotions at first. The FL with her pure and energetic nature changes him, it's quite adorable n develops into an (harmless) obsession on his part. What makes this so wholesome is also the "found family" concept. They gradually gather friends around them who support each other. And I really like that here the seemingly senseless obsession of the men with og heroine in the og story is actually explained (and it's a rather unique reason). REINCARNATION, COMEDY Crown prince Cecil (ML) is so brilliant that everything in life is easy to the point of boring him. But during their first meeting, his fiancée Bertia (FL) suddenly proclaims that she's the villainess of an otome game and that she will do everything to fulfill her role and help him find happiness with the og heroine. Quite interesting ...

My rating: 6/10 Pick this if u want a light, quick read. It's not deep, there's no drama and the characters are short, just two fudanshis falling in love. Entertaining but forgettable. FRIENDS TO LOVERS, OTAKU Two childhood friends hide their otaku sides from each other. One day, they miraculously end up being next to each other at a doujinshi event where they sell their own mangas. From then on, they start growing even closer. But is friendship all there is between them?

My rating: 7/10 The smut is good and the art is beautiful. They are already a couple and he shows her his love, it's kinda cute. But I don't think a very low self-esteem could go away just because of one night. COUPLE, INSECURE FL The FL has always hated herself and put herself down. Now she's working in a company where she's met a cute coworker who's very sweet to her. They become a couple but she feels like he deserves someone better. He doesn't like that
