AHHHHHHH honestly I'm not exaggerating if I say that my heart is melting !! These are the kinds of manhua that make you want to continuously punch your pillow into oblivion because they're just too cute ! I really like all of the characters' personalities especially for our 2 MCs. I am really attracted to cool and strong-willed characters so this manhua was definitely my cup of tea. Though it was just a bit noticeable that the art style kinda changed drastically, which made the boys look more baby boy-like (though it doesn't look bad at all) compared to how they started out as which was kind of a shame since the art/design of Da Fei's shaved head was completely taken out of his character (which honestly was his appearance's focal point) and without explanation either :< Other than that, I'm not really complaining about anything else (ofc, the crazy censorship was a given, the implied scenes will have to do T^T) as this manhua is amazing <3

This started out like 19 days with really short comedic chapters then progressing into a more steady plot and I’m in love. They’re all so funny and wild lmfao and I appreciate that 90% of the boys in the manhua are gay af. For a BL manhua, this might be one of the least censored out there with the inclusion of NSFW illustrations. Only rated it a 4 because the translations kinda fluctuate between being good or bad throughout the series.

Heesu in Class 2

Complete | Lily | 2017 released

Ahhhh this was so wholesome and the author’s art style made it feel 1000% more wholesome cause they all look so plump and fluffy. PROTECC MY BOIS FROM ALL THE HARDSHIPS IN THE WORLD. Talking about Sunwoo and Dahm, I don’t wanna sound nitpicky but I feel like Dahm’s character wasn’t going to be easy to win over even with the backstory he had of falling for someone else, which resulted in him putting up this wall. Idk for others it may have seemed to be dragged out, but I would honestly want more trying and effort before Sunwoo and Dahm got together. Because of this, their whole story gave off puppy love, and towards the end I kinda predicted they would break up because aside from the puppy love vibe, realistically it is hard to stay together when one’s in high school and the other in college. But I did like that they showed the hardships and not everything was sunshine and rainbows (aside from the problems that Seung-won and Heesu had). But even if they did break up ofc they had to have a happy ending with each other again also can we talk about how Sunwoo has so much rizz ?? Anyway I’m so excited for the live action.

Suki de Gomen

Ongoing | Okamoto Satoru | 2000 released

I was sure I read this before but it’s been rotting in my want to read so I finally did read and it was meh. Haruto’s feelings for him came out of nowhere, it was so unconvincing to read because how tf you gonna catch feelings for him just by observing him for a few times not even a flashback about how his feelings were developed or a long-time observation on kouta. They also used that “I don’t like guys, but I don’t mind if it’s you” trope lmao. The story relied on basic date stuff and lack of communication so it’s not that special. They’re both the problem tho. On haruto’s part he shoulda just said no to the other girls, like idgaf if you’re kind, be kinder to your partner and give them the reassurance that they need (to a reasonable extent). On kouta’s part, since he has low self-esteem and low self-worth, it’s like he doesn’t allow himself to be upset because there are others “better” than him out there, when in fact he was the one chosen by haruto. It doesn’t seem like a lack of trust on kouta’s part even though that was what was said, he’s just too timid to say anything. Also fyi for people looking for yaoi (as it is tagged here) they do only have sex 1 time and focused more on the couple’s relationship so it would have been better if this was mainly tagged as shounen-ai aside from yaoi.
