alice-chan's manga / #cute(217)

it was mellow, gentle, fluffy and cute. however, it pales in comparison to it's sequel ("Paradise View", which I accidentally read first). it seemed to lack that raw depth of emotion that was provided in it's sequel, but this is still a recommended read for sure, especially if u wana read the sequel. I love the soft development of their relationship, and adore both characters.

read for the smut, got more than I was looking for ~ really good pacing actually, considering the it was a one shot. it even seemed completed, unlike many one shots that give the feeling like a lot of the story is missing. although the sex scenes were hot, the ending was cute. arguably the best smutty one shot I've read

beautiful, pure, and heartbreaking. in just 3 chapters (and 1 extra), I managed to feel an astounding range of emotions. It was adorable, and had depth, and made me cry. the emotions that the characters and the story itself conveyed was truly amazing. I felt their regret, sadness, longing, their love that couldn't be. it hurt and yet I reread it 3 times so far. plus, the art is absolutely gorgeous

beautiful and I loved the gentle, sad undertone which was constant throughout the whole story. it created a sense of dread and conflict, without there actually being unnecessary drama. it was really effective, and my heart clenched multiple times- I felt the character's emotions. for this it gets a 4 star, even though I felt some things weren't explained, like Todawa's illness. like fr I thought towada was gna die at the end and I was THIS close to crying. because of that the ending felt very rushed. the author did explain both character's backstories tho, which was good. overall a very well-written yaoi, gentle, sad, sweet and pure. enjoyed feeling the heart-clenching feels

its cute and fluffy but the plot was pretty basic and the flow wasn't that great, especially due to the translating need a spin-off of Minami and Tasaki!! and Nogizaka's story pleaseee

uh wtf WHY ARE THEY SO CUTE. they're literally so cute it should be illegal. oh my looord Natsume is so innocent and such an adorable floof I can't... this was way too short!!! honestly there wasn't much plot but their relationship is so cute it's not even noticeable. I would literally reread just for the overwhelming cute feels.

I'm very impressed because: I can't read it if the art is bad, and I hated the art of this manga. and yet! I continued reading (even tho I wanted to drop it after seeing the art in ch1). that's really impressive. the story was so gently paced and sweet and fluffy that I couldn't drop it. however, in ch6 (which is a separate story), the art got so bad that I did drop it :(

it was pretty cute but I'll probably forget about it by the end of the week

the art was gorgeous, the story was interesting and the smut was hot. the characters were cute and there were funny moments. on paper that sounds like my ideal yaoi but somehow there's a lot of things I'm unsatisfied with (still giving it 4 stars tho) I agree with the comments, something was off. the ending was unsatisfying somehow, even though technically there's a nice little happy ending tied in a bow. again, like a lot of people in the comments are saying, the uke didn't get to express his own sex appeal and potential, and the same 'got it all' but the uke didn't; he didn't even get his talent acknowledged by the seme. Also their whole relationship feels a bit one-sided because it feels like the seme doesn't see them as equals, neither in bed or business. well, I'm glad their love is mutual, that was really cute, but I'm also unsatisfied with the sex scenes because they stopped right at the best part EVERY TIME ╥﹏╥ to conclude, I wish there were some more things explored but overall it checked all the boxes for me and I liked it a lot, will def reread !! ~

the smut was very hot but the plot line was confusing and rushed- too many things/events/flashback stories happening in too little time. the trauma explanation was also too fast. I'm glad their relationship developed into a sweet nurturing one but even so it still happened too fast.
