Cover Up

Complete | gyaga | 2019 released

I really enjoyed the premise of the story in the first couple of chapters as well as the characters, but I feel like the story got away from the author and it shows. There’s more violence than romance and I extremely disliked the decision to have the main love interest also harm the protagonist. They should not have ended up together. It sits at 3 stars solely based on how beautiful the art is.

Assorted Wildness

Complete | Gyeja,Jipang | 2019 released

These two are the epitome of being batshit crazy but also made for each other. I have never before seen a pair where if you look at everything they’ve done to each other outside of the relationship, it’d be easy to say they need to go to jail and never see each other again. But instead my heart was physically aching every time they got split up. The writing for this story was spot on with a perfect mix of comedy and sexy. The pink and black haired combos are always a personal favorite and these two will forever be in the top of the list <3

Under the Green Light

Ongoing | Jaxx | 2000 released

I know, you know it - we all know it: Jin is hands down one of the hottest BL characters to ever exist. He’s gorgeous and complicated and self sacrificing, but also dangerous and sexy and mysterious. Oh and Matthew’s there. Just jokes. In actuality, this is my probably my favorite yakuza-type BL and a BL that sits safely in my top ten. The relationship between these two is written very well and the art is stunning. There’s something about the dark air of the story combined with the minimally expressive faces the artist has mastered that amps the story up so well. Jin supremacy. I was only half joking earlier. Let that man have whatever tf he wants
