Paii's manga / #Beautiful Art(188)

Really Good. Apparently it's actually a spin-off but I read it first. The art was pretty good but I really liked the storyline. The seme fell in love first which was interesting and enjoyable; it was hilarious having him go thru all sorts of mixed emotions trying to decipher the uke's feelings from the beginning. I really liked their chemistry (or lack there of, in the beginning, cuz of the uke) and their get-together was very happy and cathartic (a little anticlimactic but it was still great nonetheless). 4.5 stars

Was skeptical about the art at first but it's incredibly charming and sweet and the plot makes it even better. The art is definitely not too bad once u get into it (just the head to body proportion is kinda weird at times) but I absolutely adore the relationship between the couple. Wasn't a big fan of the senpai's dark past (prost.) but I'm glad they didn't linger on it too much. The ending was incredibly sweet and I'm beyond happy they moved in together in college. The kouhai's angry face was pretty entertaining and I loved how innocent and pure their love was throughout the story.

SPECIAL EPISODE COMING UP. KEEP ON THE LOOKOUT SOON. Really love this story. First time I read it I loved it and I'm rereading it. I enjoyed it except I sorta noticed their 'drama' is a little too much? Like I was expecting the baby to be born pretty sson but it took forever. (I think 50 something chaps). I also got to read the Jini and Hyung side story. It wasn't too long nor too short (about 15 ish chaps?) and it definitely could've used more buildup and 'present' situations (there was a lot of flashbacks which I didn't mind tbh) especially where they actually get familiarized with each other instead of just target the whole time and base their relationship off that? It was definitely interesting, nonetheless. I absolutely adore the art (noticed it definitely was very strange at first but improved afterwards) it's very unique and I love the full coloring of it. Would definitely reread (especially the get-togethers of both couples). Update - special episodes are kinda lame? Idk if it's the translation but I literally barely understood a word. And the art isn't the best. It's not awful, but definitely not as great as it was in the later chapters. Also it was an AU so it didn't really build up on the couple's relationship in their 'real' universe (?). So, in general, pretty weak 3 special episodes tbh.

Not the absolute best. But it's cute and tye art is lovely. Plot could've been better and longer.
