Heesu in Class 2
Pretenses, slow burn Wasn't a fan of the art style at first but got used to it. Official on Lezhin. These are the officials. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/tekt6hg/heesu-in-class-2 Bato: https://bato.to/title/75615 MC realization @31 Confessions: 40 & 43 Side couple is introduced right as things with the main couple die down. 1st: 7/8/23 (dropped at chapter 48), 2nd: 9/9/24 (finished)
Countdown to Love
It's a decent read, but it's rated pretty high for what it is. Official on Manta, officials are here. 1st: 7/13/23 (5), 2nd: 8/14/24
Lie or Truth
Re-encounter, top pursues Not licensed in English. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/nef52w3/uso-ka-makoto-ka 7/14/23
Blunder turned wonder
Wholesome and comedic. Only had a passing interest in the second couple at first, but by the end I was very attached tbh. The cringe at the start of the story fades quick when the pretenses are dropped, and everything after that for both couples is clumsy first love and coming-of-age character growth. Vignette-style storytelling. Official on Lezhin, officials are here. Chapters get blurry towards the end, and chapter 40 is in the wrong order. I bought 40 and 65-70 on Lezhin. 1st: 7/17/23, 2nd: 9/26/23
Tell Me You Can Hear It
Popularity gap. Cute, short story (with small drama) Official on Lezhin, "Tell Me You Love Me." These aren't the officials, first few officials free on Lezhin. I bought them all. There's no official translation of the afterward so read it here. There's also no official for the mature version of the 4th side story episode, but I'm kinda glad it was censored in the official since the artist clearly has very little practice drawing naked bodies; wasn't a fan.

Cherry Blossoms After Winter
Coming-of-age, character growth, top cold to everyone else, childhood friends. Really don't like how the art style slowly becomes more childlike over time, starting at chapter 36. It went back and forth for awhile, then really got bad after season 3 started. Official release on Inkr (expired), PocketComics (expired) and Tappytoon. Officials here from chapter 20 onwards; I've bought the first 2 seasons in one category (starting from season 1 chapter 20, because removed), then seasons 3-4 in a separate posting (because mature) on Inkr. Inkr and Tappytoon have different translators, Bato has the entirety of the Tappytoon version. Tappytoon translation is a bit better/uses better localization of phrases. Officials can be found on Bato: https://mangatoto.com/title/68112-cherry-blossoms-after-winter-official/2189806-ch_1 Characters: MC: Seo Haebom ML: Jo Taesung Main friends: - Jo Yonghee (blonde outgoing guy) - Nam Jia (bubbly brunette from high school) - Im Hyejoo (from the group project) Other main characters: - ML's mom: Ha Eunseon - MC's mom: Seo Junghee 1st: 6/18/22, 2nd: 9/27/23 (dropped in season 3, felt like filler that was just sex), 3rd: 10/6/23 (also dropped), 4th: 1/26/24
Don't Be Nice To Me
ML is very sus but isn't actually being manipulative, he's a genuinely good guy. Official on Lezhin, "Don't Build My Hopes Up." Officials are here and labeled as such. Season 1 is R15, season 2 is R19. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/je5dhj9/don-t-build-my-hopes-up Bato: (officials) https://bato.to/title/108122 I stitched together all the post-it's on a comment on chapter 50 on Bato.
