pidgeonreads's manga / #mutually idiots(73)

Hands down one of my top ten favorite comics of all time. It has the perfect balance of isekai fantasy with romance and angst. Abyss is loveable and his character arc is approached perfectly and well paced, something that I rarely see in isekai bl’s. I didn’t expect to open up a creator x creation isekai and love it as much as I have, but there’s just something about these two that bring me nothing but joy.

first time reading ‘bdsm verse’. Not my thing.

By the same author as Kiss the Abyss, this comic takes the a very different approach. Our leading man is a pink haired sadist by nature and likely an undiagnosed sociopath with a good heart. After accidentally causing the death of his highschool classmates he is recruited by a system to travel worlds and stand in as the villainous characters. Cue: the love interest. In the original world they meet brothers but after living out his roll as the villain, the lead is perturbed to discover that this ‘brother’ of his has been able to read his mind all along and has developed a strange penchant for being bullied by him.

A short, sweet and funny romance taking a nice twist on the school idol x nerd trope. Both of the leads are loveably stupid when it comes to one another, and I appreciated their approach to communication.
