Yane's manga / #slice of life(90)

My rating: 6/10 The art's the typical old yaoi type. The uke's too insecure for me, he just lashes out and doesn't listen. The seme's personality is interesting tho, he's straightforward and extroverted. The oneshot isn't really it. COLLEGE, POPULAR SEME The an college student (uke) is in love with his friend and popular roommate (seme). But the seme's a playboy and straight, so it's hopeless, right? A salaryman (uke) falls for an college student (seme) when he sees his pic on his student ID.

My rating: 6,5/10 This slow burn has a good start but gets boring in the middle. It feels like some important details are missing and the issue with the ex is just dropped. It lacks some spice. The ending wraps it all up nicely tho and the romance is cute. The seme doesn't talk much which makes him seem cold and is very straightforward while the uke is mentally strong and cheeky but also kind. It's yaoi. OFFICE ROMANCE, REUNION The uke was outed against his will in college and suffered a lot. Now, the same thing happens again and he's fired. Luckily, his friend introduces him to a good company, but he later finds out that the CEO (seme) is the guy he suspects of spreading the rumours in the past.

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: 4/10 I don't like the art and the seme's way of healing the uke's trauma is just weird. I mean, he gets all creepy and practically molests him, there's no way that's helping anyone. I like some parts like the way the uke's trauma still affects him, that's more realistic, but all in all it's not my cup of tea. GHOST, TRAUMA A college student (uke) gets caught by a ghost (seme) masturbating at home. The seme apparently just died and can only be seen by the uke. That's how their strange cohabitation starts.

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: 10/10 This is a masterpiece of both fiction and art. It's quite dark dealing with the loss of a loved one, suicidal thoughts, unloving parents and most importantly the feeling of guilt. I quite like the narrative and the characters are complex and really interesting. It gave me the shivers. DEATH, DRAMA, GUILT Natsumi just lost her younger sister, Haru to chemotherapy. She can't bear the loss of the only person who loved her and falls into darkness. But Tougo, who got engaged to Haru bc of their parents, feels even more drawn to Natsumi now and they start a relationship full of guilt, one that might heal them?

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 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)

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.
