rainydays's manga / #Drama(70)

feel like while it was a bit on the blander side, but i liked takeos character being as realistic as it was, wakou was human in his own right but these two were just the biggest bickering old couple, geez. understood both perspectives and felt like it needed more.

this was so fluffy, one of the better schoolmate bls ive read in a while. had intriguing characters and explored their complexities well despite the (tragically) short run time. wish we got to see more of the twin sisters and & kawase/kuriharas time as a couple.

im not really into beastman stuff but i enjoyed this, i feel like the initial chapters had my expectations way too high (the impression of an action packed, intricate story type manga) and yes, it was less than that and followed the more conventional fairytale tropes. nevertheless, i found the expression of emotion and the ending to be satisfactory.

kinda unpopular opinion but i liked this well enough, you can never get the right amount of grovelling in manhuas but i learned to look past that as a fundamental flaw of this genre. art was so pretty and it fed the toxic 2nd chance urges in me. but if were talking fr, the doctor was 1000x better than ml.

didnt really understand the reason for his abstinence but as usual communication was ass and jealosy was the motivating factor for relationship development (which i usually like, but was kinda cheap here.)

hmm it gives me mixed feelings-- on the one hand i can acknowledge how awful the situation is for both parties and how disturbing this was, on the other hand the morbid fascination and appreciation for the storytelling also pushes through. great art though, despite all the unsettling themes & ending.

i wasnt totally sold on ryouhei in volume 1 but i gotta say, i like him a lot better here. obviously the jealousy and relationship insecurity are there but i loved how ryouhei actually put in the effort to reinforce their relationship. a great addition to vol1, i'd even argue i liked this better.

intriguing short stories that i actually enjoyed a lot if only for the visual aesthetics of the work-- disturbing surely but surprisingly fulfilling

somehow so mind numbing to read but still so human in the characters irrationality? like PLEASE just communicate and dont piss me off

honestly one of the cuter works by this author!
