Seishun Runaway
I love this so much! The story-telling is great, and the characters are all interesting. The way everything unfolded is somewhat unpredictable, which I like. I'd consider this one of my Top 30 but my list is quite cluttered so yeah lol The first couple was adorable. The taller guy is handsome but is really insecure (in an endearing way, not toxic), meanwhile the other guy is charismatic yet elusive. The dynamic is entertaining, and even if the smaller dude is quite sly, you know he's not doing it out of malice. The second couple was a bit out of my league, it's a whole different formula than most of the things I've seen so far. The premise is quite simple: strong, unrequited love since high school (with mild stalker-ish behavior), then reencounter in college. What makes it unique is the glasses character really, the way he thinks is different I can't even explain it. That character feature made their arc unpredictable haha. Though I must say, I wasn't very moved by their part, the resolution wasn't satisfying. Moved too far trying to be unpredictable. Overall I'd rate this a 4.5
Meshiagare Ai o
This hit so close to hone. Sasagawa-san is literally me, just that I don't have a handsome, chef neighbour who'd reassure that I'm worth something lmao so sad. I'd still add this to my favorites just coz, sana all HAHAHA

I've read this for a few times already and yet I still haven't tagged it, what? lmao I liked most of the stories, the only exception would be Hi-lite. There's really something about Inoue Satou-sensei that I love so much. The art, the flow, everything ugh. I like how the cigarette brand was the concept for each story (e.g. Echo, Hope, Peace, etc.) The way sensei draws abs when sitting is something to take note lol usually artists just draw as usual and dont make the muscles curled up P.S. I totally forgot that there's a cat story included in here. Ahh, so heartwarming.
Natsu ni Tokeru Himitsu no Koi
I love this. The twist was so unexpected but it gave me a sigh of relief lmao. I guess dark pasts really are overused that I was creating something scary in my head when it still wasn't revealed. (the dad was still horrible though, may he rot in hell) Anyway, great work! It was fun reading it. The romantic aspect is a bit average, but the flow of the story is great.
A Shoulder to Cry On
FUCKING HELL I LOVE THIS SHIT MY HEART IS OH MY GOD. 5/5 I WISH IT WAS LONGER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY BESIDES IT'S ASTOUNDINGLY AMAZING. The art, the story, the characters, the development, AAAAAAA I LOVE EVERTHING ABOUT THIS. AND DID I SAY THEYRE POTENTIALLY REVERSIBLE AAAAAAAA
Sensei no Sensei
I love this one. It's omegaverse but it's completely chill. The romance only started to peak at Chapter 4, the other chapters are more slice of life, which I totally don't mind. It's great, like a breath of fresh air. Like dude, there's no unnecessary drama, jealousy, and all that. Guess one downside to this is the lack of romance. It was just bits and pieces of romance strewn around.

You know what, I like this. Usually authors have to use a third-party for a jealousy trope to get the couple fighting, as if forgetting that couples fight about their own differences on their own. The characters were all interesting and human. This was different than the usual and I liked it. (Seems like a Western author wrote this?)
Kigurumi-kun

A Death Wish and an Alien
I enjoyed reading this one! Made me feel a lot of emotions. MC is me lmao. I think when you've gotten to the lowest point of your life, the urge to die will always be there. Glad he saw a reason to live. Anyway, this is definitely worth rereading.
Oh My Hero!
