Yane's manga / #cute(436)

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: 8/10 It's beautiful, I really enjoy stories with a melancholic vibe. I really like that this doesn't contain something naive like humanity accepting vampires. It's more complex bc aside from the main couple, there're other important characters, but I like that, it's more like in the books I read. I just want another volume instead of the last chapter. BOARDING SCHOOL, VAMPIRE A serious and unsociable student of an elite boarding school (uke) only keeps in contact with the head boy (seme) whom he helps with work. But one day, their classmate discovers bite marks like those of a vampire on his neck. And thus begins the student's search for the culprit.

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 I don't like that he SAs her at the beginning. But after that the story actually becomes really cute. His desire to be loved, his hidden scars make this more serious and interesting until the end. The FL's kind and perceptive, I really like her. ACTOR, REUNION One day, a comic artist reunites with her friend from high school who became a heartthrob actor. They decide to go drinking, but when he takes care of her after and sees her sleeping beside him, his feelings overflow. What didn't he tell her back then?

My rating: 4/10 The age gap is kinda concerning, especially at her age, 20 years are too much. And I don't like that it's constantly shown how childlike she is. This feels wrong. The romance itself is sweet tho, the maid is their greatest shipper. And the ML's so hot. This is for u if u like older men. HISTORICAL, AGE GAP A young noble lady is in love with the empress's brother who's a notorious warrior. She believes that he's out of reach, but when she delivers a message to the royal palace, things take a different turn.

My rating: 5/10 It's alright, the panels are a bit small and the ending is rushed but overall it's a cute story. The smut isn't that good but nevertheless it's entertaining. CHILDHOOD FRIENDS, SPORTS A taekwondo athlete (ML) and a judo athelete (FL), childhood friends who have been betting on a gold medal since childhood, go to the Olympics. When the FL wins, she wants to use her wish from the bet to make him sleep with her and get over him.

My rating: 8,5/10 I absolutely adore the FL with her positive attitude. She really never gives up, is naturally friendly and confident. The way she tries to charm the tsundere ML really got me invested, this never gets boring. But it doesn't feel complete, more like the end of a season. OFFICE ROMANCE, PLANTS Everything has been going downhill for Hana lately: her fiancee cheats on her, her plants die and then she gets molested on the train. Unexpectedly, a handsome man stands up for her. When they meet again during a marriage meeting, she starts to really want to date him. But although he helped her that time, he turns out to be rather cold and rejects her in a rude way?! She's gonna give up like that!

My rating: 7,5/10 It's cute. I really like the FL, she's intelligent, has a great pokerface and still crushes on him hard. They complement each other with him being such a nice guy and a pushover. The ending's a bit rushed, there could've been be more drama, but it's alright. OFFICE ROMANCE, BET An office lady is known as the "Ice Iron Lady" in her company because of her cool and practical way of doing her job. One day, she overhears the seniors pressuring the guy she has a crush on to bet on whether he can get with her. So, she decides to use this to make some good memories with him until she resigns in 2 months.

My rating: 7/10 This is for you if you like possessive older men. He has 2 sides: a forceful and dominant one and a goofy and sweet one. The FL has an actual personality, I love her. And the character development is great. BAR, OFFICE WORKER, POSSESSIVE ML Rika often goes to a bar to drink hoping to see the "man with the wristwatch" again who once comforted her when she was drunk. But instead, a goofy older man always teases her. One day, she gets so drunk that she falls asleep and he takes her home ...

My rating: 7/10 It's a cute collection of oneshots. I really enjoyed reading it, it's not too deep, more like ordinary little loves stories, but it's adorable and the art is pretty. There's a bit of smut. ONESHOTS, CUTE 1) hostess who wants to open her nail salon x rich young man 2) supermarket employee x new determined employee 3) Female president of a start up x older subordinate 4) Medical clerk x potter (reunion)
