Kishukusha no Kuroneko wa Yoru wo Shiranai

Complete | TAINO Nikke | 2019 released

One of the most beautiful manga I've ever read. It has a good twist of story about vampire and it's world building and own concept of vampire made this story refreshing. Absolutely loved the art and the character designs. The personalities of the characters as well are very lovable. I am absolutely happy and loving how the seme here isn't a jerk and his emotions & ways to express it felt so sincere. He ain't your regular flirty vampire, his just more authentic and charismatic. Contrary to my expectation of his character, he had some unexpected twist like being more honest and disliking crowds. Uke was absolutely my favorite here, I just love character's that are like uke. Straightforward and honest and strong willed. Very rational as well because he thinks very well and is considerate. He ain't just your serious and cold glasses smart ass student. His only just awkward more importantly, very sincere. The second couple was also very good. I personally don't enjoy second couples in BL. Reason being that they usually steal the spotlight form the main couple. And it's so much worse when the main couple is my fave. I think it slightly does happen here as well because the second has a very huge part of the story. But surprisingly, I didn't mind it that much. I love their story as well, they are much more tragic than the main couple, the seme having amnesiac fangs that makes uke forget. But their dynamic is very very cute and I like that. Seme was also okay. My only complain might be that the ending felt rushed and that it s short lol. Such a good world building & potential story, wish it was more deleved into and had more continuation built. But it's okay, the story is still good. Summary(I'm lazy lol)spoilers ahead. In this school, there are vampires secretly attending in it w/o the humans knowledge. Uke is anormal smart student who helps out the student head sometimes. Said head is in love with uke. But uke falls suspicion that seme was a vampire and starts his journey to find out of it. After one party school event, a girl from a sister school accidentally released what is called a star scale, forcing seme to feel desire to bite the other person. Luckily, uke was there on time to shoo away the girl but he didn't know that the target was on to him instead so he was bitten. Vampire's fangs had some special affect. For seme, he had aphrodisiac fangs and thus that led to a situation neither of the two wanted. Seme had locked uke in a room so the two wouldn't engage in a sexual activity. But after that uke felt betrayed by seme. At the same time, uke2 has been found falling victim to a another vampire. This was actually seme2 who had multiple times bitten uke2. The reason was because his fangs had amnesiac effects and he continued to bite uke2 to make him remember little bits of the love they have and it works. The two seme and uke found out of this case and they start to talk with another teacher about the choice they had to made. Either leave the humans to live peacefully or they continue their love & suffer. The semes choose love. Uke also realizes he loves seme and causes hint o the star scale form him. After another struggles, at the end the two ended up embracing their love for each other. Seme decided to no longer keep things behind and planned to research more about their spieces, why they need blood to live longer, the alternative and what star scale is. Besically star scale is a phenomenon wherein a human's desire for another vampire causes the vampire to unwilling to bit the other.

Kinda lazy to write this but... In short the story is... Spoiler .. This poor guy enters this magic school to become a national magician. He meets blonde guy accidentally who was cursed to turn into a wolf. Forced to save himself, black dude uses dark magic to Sela the curse temporarily. The two then works to solve the curse. They started getting attracted to each other romantically and then one day, the two had an argument and black chase blonde dude to his house. Then finds blonde tied and tortured by his brother. His older brother loved the blonde but hated that his brother took the heir position from him so he cursed him. Black saves blonde then the end. Review: Interesting set up. But the biggest meh of this is that this interesting and had potential to expand on a good story was just thrown away. too many plot holes and it was rushed. So it felt shallow and like it's such a waste. Paring wise, it was disappointing black wasn't bottom. Again another seme pov story. I kinda knew from how the author drew the blonde tbh haha but I was still in denial until the end. Dynamic wise, they are interesting per say because the seme just had bottom vibes, and generally had a diff personality from the typical seme. Uke is just yeah, nothing extraordinary.

Complete | Chung Nak Won | 2018 released

I love this so much!!! Such a good college romance with not so much drama between the couples and the love is so strong it makes you wish you could have the same love as well! I'm going insane, how I wish I have someone like any of the couples have here. What takes the icing of the cake for me is how I love the two couples shown here! Though I felt like the second couple is shown more than the main on the later chaps, I'm still okay (unlike when I was in 19 days) and I'm just satisfied with reading this! But I'm hoping to see more of the main couple! Authors should really start highlighting their main couple than abandoning them after a single season. Hoping for season 3 to be more of the main couple hehe

So it's a cute x pretty but handsome guy. Not bad for a casual read. Love that they only started dating after three years of being together hahah Review spoiler: the only thing that's missing here is that there's no explanation of the Jinx haha like what was about it? I think they are both each other's jinx and what caused it was their meet during childhood and going to the beach at the end might've canceled the curse. Story Spoiler summary: Uke started having this terrible bad luck after meeting seme. Uke's whole life she was called cute and he had despised of that but he also learned that he like pretty and handsome faces. He constantly bumped with seme and lumped together with him for clean ups. There he finds out about seme's face from all his bangs. Seme is known to bring bad luck after eye contact, he was very gloomy and was known as an aggressive kid so no one wanted to be close with him. Yet uke's attraction to him made him want to get close to seme. Later uke starts to avoid seme because he believes the cause is him. But that didn't last, uke still helps seme. They fight and still talk later. One day, seme invites seme to a play (a backstory I forgot to include, seme comes from a family of actors and he has stage fright after his terrible experience in kinder, uke helps him pratcice his script). Uke attends the stage performance and was hocked to see seme acting as lead role. Seme later told uke he had done that for uke. On seme's pov, he began to get attracted to uke on their first day of class when they bumped into each other, he also started getting bad luck. His interest of uke made him join the theater club(with his sis' help) to get close to uke by making him help with the script. Later, The two started hanging out in summer and gotten closer. But it was only three years later in college that the two confessed to eahc other and finally started dating(they lived together in college). A picture of his mother made them found out that they met when they were younger on a beach. They went to the same location at the end.
