emperor constantly harasses terrified eunuch in order to get his attention art is gorgeous as per shin yuris style, but woow was the emperor unbearable, a man child to the 100th degree what a loser. i will admit though that the story was pretty funny at points and that i wish we got the empress's story instead.
Mellow Pillow
Desire Detection
i was a bit worried in the beginning but things definitely got better as the manga progressed, it was pretty funny with just the right touch of angst realism and relationship development.
Mujaki na Wanko to Nekokaburi
on the simpler side tbh, its cute but not extremely noteworthy imo. still loved the black cat mc x puppy ml dynamic tho! mc's friends definitely carried.
Nichijou Climax
this ended up being a cute old couple slice of life manga, but idk something about breaking up w ur boyfriend like that didnt sit right with me. i did understand kusakas insecurities w their relationship but actually liking him was kind of an uphill battle with the way he regards his partner so flippantly. but i guess they work it out, the ending w kusaka getting closure abt his dad was cute and mikuriya was mvp throughout.
Daehyun Laundry~ We wash everything~
conflicted because i think this was supposed to be a pwp, but it kinda has too much attempt at plot for me to regard it as such? mc was a douchebag throughout and i felt bad for how desperate ml was, i feel like the author added all the main plot beats without trying to build up to any of them properly. wish we got to see more of that blonde guy tho.
Sweet Lies Layered Like a Mille Feuille
this is the kinda josei stuff i like. unconventional couples, the bickering but attracted dynamic, i feel like yes this is super cliche but the characters were so cute together and the story was simple and straight forward. bonus points for fl actually setting boundaries with ml instead of being pushed around.
Meruhen na Otoko tachi
another 'cliche-but-i-loved-it,' idk this was just serotonin for my heart even if some aspects were overly cheesy. felt like the angst development was over the top and ended too quickly, and the whole 'straight men will leave you' kinda thing (cause duh?) but this pair was so cute i was really rooting for them!
