Backstage Lovers
I've been kind of rough with my ratings today for some reason. This manga isn't bad, but I just couldn't connect with it at all emotionally. I couldn't get immersed in it.
Danshikoukousei, Hajimeteno
I like the screenshots of the translators' chats more than the actual manga. It's one of those incredibly fast-paced and unrealistic types. It's not an "awful" manga, but I personally dislike this type a lot. I'm feeling particularly judge-y today, so I'm gonna give it a 2.
Akuma-chan wa Momoiro
They are both crazy/manipulative in their own way, it makes them a good fit for a couple. It wasn't a bad read since they are actually quite perfect for each other. Still, not my type of manga, I prefer more subsistence, etc. than that.
Itsuka koi ni naru made
I LOVED IIIIIITTTT. This was just so perfect! It had everything I love in yaoi and manga in general!! It has been SO SO long since I've read a manga that was so completely suited to my tastes!! (The Kuroneko Kareshi series will forever be the closest to my exact tastes though) - Realistic story/plot progression - Character progressions - Realistic Relationship & Friendship progressions - Meaningful relationships with the side characters - Beautiful art - Childhood friends to lovers - Little details & quirks - Great sex scenes - Great at portraying/creating tension (sexual *cough* and otherwise) - So many age ups (Done Right!!!) - Serious moments - Funny moments - Relatable moments - Enviable moments - !! No stupid misunderstandings !! - Didn't drag out conflicts unnecessarily - Multiple surprising responses & reactions - Lovable side characters - Hints at side characters' love lives (actually some surprising ones) - Women aren't portrayed as obnoxious jealous b*tches that ruin gay relationships - Makes me wish that it was a long time running manga so I could keep reading it - But I also prefer it completed so I can binge through the entire thing - Cute but not cringe, makes you giddy - But also hot and mature at times - Kept feeding readers more content after the story itself seemed to be over, but the chapters were not random/meaningless & instead added a lot to the story I LOVED IT. The basis of the plot is nothing new but this was so well done and has everything I listed above. I just loved this so much. It made me happy~ Definitely going to reread this in the future UPDATE: AHHHH THERE ARE 2 SEQUELS OMGGG YAYYY #2 - Akete mo Kurete mo: Zoku #3 - Kazoku ni Narouyo
