Koi ni mo Naranai.
Very very very pure, I love how they treat the beginning of their relationship, I wish I could have seen more. It didn't move me but I liked it.
Hoshi Dake Ga Shitteru
This is so freaking sweet. I love the down to earth characters and their simple yet cute designs. This is a quick read with a pretty unique story. The characters have genuine conversations and grow as people together. The art was also super duper pretty which beautifully conveyed the theme of the story. To top it all off.... The seme is Bi!!! What wonderful and rare representation.
The Two Lions
This was very quick and cute, this author seems to have a deserved reputation. I really liked oni's (black hair) character, he was what I'd expect a real-life bad boy to be. He's essentially want I want, a badass who's not actually a bad person just misunderstood. The other main character was super cute too! Also, the dialogue felt real and natural... like for real!! No weird cringy phrases made up by a straight woman!! Overall, a very cute short story with lots of subtle good qualities.
Shiba-kun to Shepherd-san
This was so sweet and adorable. Most stories like this only last 1 chapter but this one is the perfect length. I love the static looking seme type so I knew I was going to love this.
Bukiyo Na Bokura No Sukima
This was really cute and it had my favorite kind of pairing, but it didn't really strike a chord with me. I think it was just a little too quick and surface level. However I did really enjoy it and the character designs were beautiful.
Paid(Fujoking)
This. Was. Phenomenal!! I give it five stars for everything: story, art, characters, pacing, length, spicy scenes. It's definitely worth rereading for the steamy bits. At first I was worried I wouldn't like the memory loss twist but it worked out perfectly and actually made the main character more likable. I'm so happy they had a happy ending too!!! Uggggghhhh it was just so good (:
Darenimo Naisho de.
Shallow, boring, and half-baked. It was okay. I think I was expecting a little more spice with the characters since the love interest is described as a "sadist." But I would be happy if there was just more "character" with the characters in general. The art style is okay, every guy has the same face so it's a bit boring to look at. Also the main character's feelings about sex are brushed off by the love interest and it's just forgotten about. Everything is just so surface level. So sad that the bi representative is here but the character sucks ):
Sugar Dog Life
This was so freaking cute!!!! AGGGGHHHH I wish there was more. Everything was wonderful: the art, characters, dialogue, pacing, and even the spicy scenes were consensual and had communication. All the characters felt real in their conversation and honesty. I loved the character dynamic and oh my goodness are both leads so so so hot. This manga was straight to the point with no dilly dally in sight, I just wish there was more. Typically I don't like the height difference trope because the shorter guy often ends up looking like a kid (which is uncomfy for obvious reasons) and is treated as less of a man. BUT, this manga did not fall into that trope and the shorter guy is perfect and hilarious to boot!
