Bokura no Tsuzuki
Soooo sweet. I love this. A high school BL done right.
Two in Six Billion
Trigger warnings...rape, bullying, suicide, murder, and Stockholm Syndrome. This one was difficult. Given the ages of the MC and ML, it felt much worse to see each of them ignored and abandoned at their lowest. I wish this had gone a different direction in the end. I felt like it was ultimately a wasted opportunity. There is no way to consider this a "happy" ending...it just ends with the implication that things are going to get much worse for the MC. This is not BL or romance. Read only if you are braced for a quick dose of trauma.

Loved this. Would read again. Green flags AND proper communication?!? I'm in. ️
Stranger Than Friends
These two couples are both ridiculous and fun. I'd read most of this a while back and was excited to see it was completed so jumped back and reread the beginning. It's fun, predictable, and low angst. The semes in both couples are pretty toxic initially but they figure things out and learn how to act right.
Never Understand
I'm not sure how I feel about this one. It's toxic from start to finish. First, waaaaayyy more trauma than I thought I was getting. Some of it was pretty triggering and horrible. There is INTENSE bullying in this (some from the three MLs). It gets DARK in places and disgusting. Second, I wasn't a fan of the art at all. It felt surreal and made the sad stuff worse. Third, the stories all have HEA but they seem kind of cheaply gotten, if that makes sense. I wouldn't read this again. There were no consequences for horrible behavior and I deeply hate that.
