Agathe's manga / #Sweet(6)

68 - melancolic, yet breathtaking, beautiful for both the eyes and soul

A relative 4.5 - 20 - I liked the smart of the gay relationship building up, nothing is too extravagant and it flows naturally, I also appreciate that the sexuality is brought as a grown up topic, and here again without caricature, and it might even be the firt time I read an accurate depiction of the fact that there is no rule, no determined « position « , and even no obligation for penetration which is actually very real (see statistics) The art might be a bit dated, the proportion sometimes awkward, yet it’s dynamic and expressive so it’s ok I would have rated it 8 - i can’t put my mind to rate it higher, probably because of the slice of life pace, and i could not really feel too deeply engaged, but it’s a very nice story with a few bit of very beautiful wisdom here and there, andd it’s globally better than many things… for exemple - I liked the dad saying they are poor but they can be rich inside, and hoping his son would learn true values and what matters most - i alSo liked the teacher who’s always on the children side, or the friends and collegues support in all sorts of hard times, and much more It’s nice to read about good values without artificial drama or excessive trauma In the end it’s still doesn’t feel as fulfilling as a 5 but it can’t compare to most 4

Super cute - I’m not fond of the grumpy side of the mc, but i understand falling for the art => falling for the artist

5.6 - how to describe this ? Maybe it’s like a step by step relationship diary - there no diary part per say, but a bunch of monologues, describing the boges hesitations and steps of the characters It’s rather modern in the sense there is not much drama and lot of thinks are talked out to find a resolution ( thanks god, no one expect telepathic powers, and with just enough support, they avoid painful silence that becomes inextricable complications That make for a very confortable read, with no angst and a good bit of fluff At the same time it like a bit of depth, but it’s still nice Once again, the intimacy part are rather puzzling, in a setting that have a real feel, i don’t feel like it’s much needed, but it not a bother either, but why do they need to decide on a specific position ? Well at least there no ridiculous feminization of any of them, there’s not to many cliches

20 - feels like love
