rainydays's manga / #Yaoi(99)

euiseo treats a strange, injured man who turns out to be more interesting than he appears. does well for the run time

taejun has lost his memories after a traumatic childhood event, and comes across his old childhood friend, who seems to be hiding something regarding the unsettling nightmares taejun experiences. the suspense and atmosphere was delicious, art and especially that car scene were glorius, but boy was that ending not up to par. maybe its because i waited so long for it instead of reading the whole work in one go, but the ending was meh at best and wtf just happened at worse.

typical cold mc x puppy ml, need to see more to form an opinion. interesting art style.

fox and wolf hybrids hinata and kyouya get married to establish peace between their tribes, and fall in love despite the stigma associated with being 'freaks' this was an interesting read that went beyond the romance plotline, i liked the addressing of racism and general discrimination towards those who are different. kyuouyas mindset was heartbreaking and im glad they ended up together after coming to terms with their differences.

honestly just pwp, great art but they honestly didn't need to make a big emphasis on the relationship when ml was a child. I don't mind age gap relationships but when you focus so much on their previous dynamic it does start to feel predatory.

after an incident caused by a disobedient member of his group, nishida sets out to smooth things over with the rival gangs head, kuroda, and thus begins a mutually satisfactory relationship to keep the peace. considering how short this manga is, i think it was pretty well paced and had a simple and coherent plot. the childhood best friends plot was a bit cliche but worked out nicely. though i feel like the ending with both the yakuza leaders being okay with everything was too easy

shouta helps a foreigner, teppei is crushing on his coworker, and azuma gets jealous. i feel like one of the few people who didnt actually enjoy this. 1st story was incomprehensibly bad-- basically just an innocent man being raped in his home by the man he helped, then being taken to a completely foreign country where he knows nobody, and ofc the mfs name is josh. he fell in love with shouta in one day? eyeroll. 2nd story was cute though im not sure of the age diff (teppei in hs?)

honda, a gym trainer, cultivates an unrequited love for their new member, konno, who also has an unrequited love of his own. honestly, i found this one really cute and well-paced!! loved honda, he is an ultimate green flag and i think the misunderstanding plotline worked well here.

ryuunosuke accepts yakuza heir masamune's offer of becoming his omega, in exchange for renovations to his grandfather's dojo. ngl i was very disappointed with this one!! the cover and character designs are sick, so i thought this would be good, but this was just 5 chapters of masamune being pushy and annoying af. i got the backstories and all but i wasnt feeling the chemistry, other than what was caused by heat. mom was funny tho!

noah returns to his former workplace to return a priceless item he stole, only to be confronted by the kid he once taught, a now-grown henry. art is really nice and i like the atmosphere created by it. story was pretty interesting too, albeit a bit anticlimactic at the very end. that all being said, the teacher-student dynamic and the fact that noah still sees henry as a kid got me feeling quite icky, esp when noah's 'first love' was child henry.
