Effy's manga / #want more!!!(29)

I LOVE this story and the art that goes with it. The romance story itself is also so wholesome and deep. It's genuinely on some Notebook-type level. My heart has exploded a million times over. ️️️️ SMUUUUTTTT, SO MUCH SMUTTTTT ️️️️ The smut aspect is written and illustrated so so well. It's far from boring and it's made incredibly rich by consistently changing the elements up each time or having new ones added. Not to mention there's a whole lot of it, the writer spoiled us. I also really like that while one character is more the 'masculine' one (or the top lol), it's just a tiny bit more and it's mainly only noticeable when they're intimate. Other than that, the characters are both pretty balanced between their feminine/masculine qualities, something that I LOVE to see since LGBTQ relationships are often depicted with one being dominantly feminine one and the other being dominantly masculine. My 2 qualms: RANDOM SEXUAL ASSAULT WRITTEN IN?! The romance between the main characters is morally sound, nearly healthily perfect, and develops from their emotional and physical bond with each other. Neither character is actually a stalker or any sort of sexually perverse criminal. Their love is genuine and the stalker bit is just a joke between them due to the story of their meeting. So WHY TF DID THE AUTHOR MAKE ONE OF THEM SA THE OTHER DURING THEIR FIRST ENCOUNTER?!!!!! IT IS SOOOO OUT OF PLACE AND DOESNT ADD TO, OR FIT, THE TONE OF THE STORY OR THE PLOT WHATSOEVER. It's completely misaligned with who the characters are, what their relationship is like, and it just never brought up again (again, PROBABLY BECAUSE ITS COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE WITH STORY).

I…I am speechless… I can’t believe the people who rated this less than 5 stars because this is the absolute best I have ever read. I can’t even put it into words.

A STEAMY AF SLICE OF LIFE . If you arent into slice of life, def avoid. I had no idea this would become an obvious slice of life piece, which resulted in me believing I’d reached the very end of the story on multiple occasions. After a few times of nearly passing out excitedly when it’d continued, I realized that the author just blessed us by running with it as a slice of life. A SLICE OF LIFE FULL OF SMUT? God, I don’t want it to ever end. On another note… why is Touma SO HOT? Ngl he’s threatening to steal the title of my #1 character crush, which is no mean feat. I will say that I NEED to see Natsume successfully and spontaneously take charge over Touma during sexy time. Cmon Natsume, shock Touma with so much sexiness that he couldn’t top even if he wanted to. For once, we need to see Toumas soul LEAVE HIS BODY instead of Natsumes.

Wow I was honestly prepared to leave this a SHINING review—then it just cut off randomly. To say I was caught entirely off guard is an understatement. Now I understand the reason it’s rated as it is. What a goddamn disappointment. I was slurrrrping this up, loving every moment of it. The part is cuts off at (or ends

Honestly I had expected to give this 5 ️s because I felt it was unique, interesting, a little twisted/dark, and the plot was well developed. There is noticeable, well paced, character development which I felt made this story high quality and strong. My reason for giving it 2️ is because the ending was extremely random and abrupt. It literally ends right when one character discovers that the other intentionally put his life in danger to manipulate him into living together and staying closely by his side. This was an important realization since it shows the extent of the toxicity still needing to be outgrown and changed, even with the growth there had been. So for the story to just stop right at a conflict point of the relationship?… It was like the author just got tired of writing 3/4 of the way through and just decided to write ‘the end’ after the last page they had worked on. Not to mention that there’s a whole backstory of essentially obsession and stalking that never surfaced in the relationship, leaving a large, important, and inevitable conflict. Bad way to leave a story.

Honestly, loved it. It’s def toxic asf and I wish there was a bit more development away from that into a healthy relationship but oh well, still fire!

Cute lil short story that’s pretty much only for the smut!

SO cute!!!! I love how innocent they both look but they’re both secret horndogs.

I feel like I have super high standards for manga, especially romance/BL ones because they often seem to be amateurly written (lacking in flow, pacing, character development, structure, depth, etc). Anyways, I’m usually left feeling dissatisfied, even if it’s just with the ending, but I was pleasantly surprised with this one! It’s such a cute story and I never felt like anything was lacking. The ending also seemed very natural rather than rushed or misplaced, so I felt content when realizing there wasn’t any pages left! The characters are both very ‘soft’ and feminine, which I also adored since I seldom see that pairing in BL. It was just TOO STINKIN CUTE AND ROMANTIC!

Loveeee!!!!
