Papa no Sukinahito
the father and daughter bounce off eachother so well and match to an uncanny degree of energy, it really made this manga as cute as it was. i feel like mc was a bit quick to jump to conclusions but i really liked the ml, art style is also appropriately adorable.
Papa to watashi to Ayumu-chan
ngl this might be one of my favorite found family abo/bl with kids, something about it is so overly charming, i loved the daughter in this, she was so cute and i feel like the family dynamics worked really well here. there is that sense of cliche and suspended realism, but this one stood out to me for some reason. i heard there are two more volumes untranslated and i am clawing at the walls waiting for them to upload here.
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.
Samayou Bitch ha Koi wo shiru
idk if its because of the kind of mental state i was in, but despite by abhorrence towards cheaters & cheating participants (especially someone who goes after taken men), i was really emotional while reading this and enjoyed it a lot. soichis actions were truly deplorable, and trauma cant excuse that, but it did a good job explaining his psychology and low self esteem. i did like how he reflected and tried to do better for himself, ik its the bare minimum but thats my bae im so proud of him. while i feel like souichis feeling development was a bit hasty, im happy the two sorted things out.
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.
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!
Koi wo Suru Tsumori wa Nakatta
you have such a fine man basically offering himself to you on a platter, but you just decide to play with his feelings anyway? rou is so glad yoshino had the balls to be honest with his feelings cause i would not let that slide. overall i liked it bc yoshino was so bbg but rou gotta pick up the slack!
Kanshaku Dama no Love Song
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.
