axima's manga / #School Life(44)

I really wanted to like this but the bitch is just so annoying...

the drama is really getting out of hand. It's a great series but like at least have them try to get out of the bad situation instead of living with it? It's not much of a BL if they don't spend any time together... EDIT: Fam this is trash. The couple only see each other for like 3 panels every 5 chapters and even then it's just to have another fight. The rest of the run time is them spending time around other men who are in to them, including going on dates. It's not even just 1 they got multiple suitors each that get introduced one after the other just to make sure that nothing gets resolved. I'm sorry author but I can tell you're stalling, you need to learn how to write a couple after they start dating. And the MC is dumb as a brick, with the LI flip flopping between actual logic that gets shot down and the most random out of nowhere decisions you could imagine. I can't tell if he's acting out of character or not because his character is whatever the story needs him to be at that moment.

Damn this was good. I ended up forgetting the now redeemed lowkey villains and even liked their little side story (I usually hate extra couples). Even better was the fact that both of our protagonists have guts. Boy it felt good to see that dickbag put in his place almost instantly after he started shit. Later on they kinda tried to give him more backstory, and while it worked out nicely and I enjoyed it I wouldn't say I forgive him. Luckily the story wasn't trying to force me to though.

I think I liked it but I forgot to mark it so uh...

FL is a bit dumb but I like her not taking any shit. Wish we could just cut the original ML out of the picture though... Most of the time he just gets in the way or acts depressed since his love is unrequited. FL needs to try harder to get with Hana, girl him turning you down is no excuse to go around with another dude.

A bit of a let down. It just gets boring and feels like no progress is being made. The couple doesn't get together until the last chapter so there isn't any pay off to all that build up either...

AHHH GIVE ME MORE! The main appeal is having regular people come at not just any child soldier, but one of the best veterans out there. And it's not like he's got muscle instead of brains, he's just as smart as he is strong. There's some fun parts where it's just him trying to deal with everyday life but drama is still the focus. I find the family dynamic really heartwarming. ch79

Not much action in the romance department, but I wouldn't feel right calling it an op mc story either. She doesn't even have a goal, she's just stumbling her way through life while the morons around her assume the worst case scenario for everything she does.

Rating is for the second story, which takes up the bulk of the volume. It's very cute. a bit of comedy and some drama blended just right with the slice of life aspect. Art is gorgeous too, simplistic but attractive.

It's not gonna win any awards but it sure was enough to win me over. It's very cute, the romance is fairly natural, and when the plot is there it's pretty interesting. For some reason toomics didn't translate season 2 even though it's completed by now. EDIT: Dropped, confusing af which I think is only partially the translation's fault.
