Under Grand Hotel
Since it's divided by volumes, I'm gonna put my opinions as i read them, SO... Vol.1 - This a very hardcore yaoi indeed, but what did you expect? It has a PRISON as a background. I knew they would start their relationship in a very rough way but i also knew that their feelings towards one another would end up growing so all is well. Tho i am still very shocked about the rape scene (gonna call it that even though Sen says "it wasn't that he raped me" on page144)... not gonna lie, that scene was pretty messed up with the drugging thing as well but look let's be honest the whole manga and this couple is fucked up too. I mean, they are criminals to begin with and the environment they live in is far from being healthy so how do you expect to grow anything good from it, there's not gonna be any flowers on this one y'know. Their love is probably based on the dependence they created on one another and of course on the thrill, the attraction, the desire to escape boredom. Let's see if they will really deepen their connection on the next volume, like being really intimate (and i'm not talking about the sex). I would really like to see that because i'm really excited about this story. Damn, this couple got me good! Vol.2 - MAN as i keep reading this, it makes me feel things... complicated things. Everyone there is fucked up. Let me just confirm that. AND I KEEP CURSING AND SCREAMING AND STRUGGLING AS I READ THE STORY. This volume was really good because we got to see more of their life as a couple, BUT i hate the fact that Sword cheats on Sen when they fight or stay away from each other for some time GODDAMNIT tho i do think it's more realistic this way and we know the other guys aint shit to Sword, MAN HE GOT A TATTOO WITH THE MEANING OF SEN'S NAME. THAT'S SO SWEET!! But Sword is a really possessive (and toxic unfortunately) lover, tho i am glad that in this volume the rapes had nothing to do with Sword (and i gotta say there were lots of rape in this volume and that made me super unconfortable). He's not the greatest lover, but he protected Sen from a lot of shit okay and this is prison life so deal with it. And I knew this goddamned warden was super shitty. He's simply disgusting, I hate it just looking at his face. Oh man, and when Sen came to his senses and wanted to stay with Sword again AAA I LIVE FOR THIS SHIT. VOL.3 - YOOOO WHAT THE FUCK VOLUME 3 WAS A FUCKING MASTERPIECE. JESUS CHRIST! OKAYOKAY LETS CALM DOWN BUT I FUCKING CANT... This volume was more instigating than the others (if that is even possible). I AM SO GLAD THAT WASN'T ANY RAPE IN THIS ONE AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP HAS MATURED A LOT. We can clearly see now and Sword even said so too that their relationship is just because of the prison anymore. It would survive the free world. ALSO Sword has had a MAJOR character development. THIS IS CHEF'S KISS. IT MEANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO ME THEM LIVING THEIR LIFE TOGETHER OUT IN THE WORLD. FUCKING AMAZING. As for the other aspects, i wanted norman to be with walter but i dont think that's possible (and i have to read norman's spin off). Mutou was arrested THAT FUCKING ANIMAL THANK GOD. ALSO I'M DYING TO SEE WHAT IT'S GONNA BE IN THE CROSSOVER. I SWEAR TO GOD I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE AS LONG AS SWORD AND SEN ARE ALIVE AND TOGETHER. PERIOD. Like dude i know it has a lot of flaws and you can call me names if you want but i just LOVE THIS STORY AND THIS COUPLE. I'M GONNA RATE IT 5 STARS. FUCKING WATCH ME.
High School Lala Love
OH MY GOD I'M SQUEAKING RIGHT NOW I CAN'T STOP I'M SERIOUS!!!! This manga is so cute!!!!!! First of all, i totally can relate to Hinata. He's so desperate to find love and he's so naive in a way and earnest. Aki's so hot and i thought he was going to be one of that tease guys, but he's honest too and kind!! I simply love the fact that they are both virgins and i got kinda of sad that Aki's two years older (i think) and he's going to college and Hinata's in high school (but that's okay because that means they can have kinky uniform sex lol i'm such a perv help!!). The story is just so cute, it has the right pace, it's healthy, it's slice of life (well sort of because it's just too good to be true but oh well) I LOVE IT THEY HAVE A PLACE IN MY HEART. Oh, but i'm super sad that they didn't have sex i mean the author was implying sexual things all the time so i thought they would get it on JESUS i need extras on my desk by tomorrow! ALSO, I like Aki's brother too! I thought he was going to be a pain but he's actually funny and is even cheering for them to be together! OH AND LET'S TALK ABOUT RYU AND HINATA'S AMAZING FRIENDSHIP! I LOVE THEM LIKE THIS AND GIVE RYU A MAN YOU COWARDSS!! ANYWAYS THE STORY IS HEARTWARMING I LOVE THIS COUPLE I LOVE AKI, I LOVE HINATA, GOD BLESS!

ALRIGHT, THIS RIGHT HERE... IT'S AMAZING! Yes, it's a bit shocking at first when you see the foot fetish but it's more than that and the reason behind it is beautiful. First of all, Shin is not attracted to all feet and he only gets fixated on Asuka's feet because he wants to take care of them, heal their wounds THIS MAKES ME WANT TO SOB! this isn't kinky at all... THE SEX THEY HAVE THO LET ME TELL YOU... HOT!! Anyways, focus! Also, Asuka's story is sad. He was promiscuous and a pleaser, fell in love with a man that was just using him to have sex and just wanted someone to love and to care for him. AND HE GOT IT HE HAS SHIN NOW. I tried to satisfy myself with what i got... BUT I NEEDED A CHAPTER WHERE THEY BOTH SAID I LOVE YOU. I'M SORRY I LIKE SOME THINGS WELL DEFINED. Let's talk about the art. As someone said, unconventional yes i thought it would bother me but i started to like it AND THE FOOT FETISH EVEN BECAME HOT tho i don't like feet BUT HONESTLY IF YOU DOWN RATE THIS MANGA JUST BECAUSE OF THIS YOU'RE AN IDIOT. I said what i said. Period. Oh, but if it had more chapters the story would be better developed. I NEED MORE OF THEM.

WHSHWHSHWHHWHSHWHSWHSHW *SCREEEEEEEEEECH* *INHUMAN NOISES* OHMYGOD THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL I WANT TO CRY. EVERYTHING IS PERFECT JESUS. I just really love it, you guys. The character growth on Hase, man beautiful I'm so glad he reflected on his mistake (and man they were just young and stupid you know they do silly things). I'm glad that Nadaguchi didn't plan a revenge on him either later on, it was the alcohol and the spur of the moment the reason why he confessed. Oh and I'm glad that the first time they met was before the bet. I like all the things about this book lol The only flaw in this is that it ends! IT'S TOO SHORT! I WANT TO SEE MORE OF MY BABIES. They both hadn't moved on and they met again, THAT'S FATE! And i think they both felt betrayed in high school (on different levels of course but Nadaguchi KNEW about the bet and still went with it and Hase was totally caught off guard because he had fallen in love) AND GOD KNOWS I HAD BEEN PRAYING FOR THEM MAKING UP and it wasn't rushed at all, the pace was just right. MAN I ALMOST FORGOT, I SO GOT BUTTERFLIES ON MY STOMACH WHEN I SAW THAT SCENE WHEN THEY WERE KISSING IN HIGH SCHOOL UGH I JUST THIS IS FAVORITE FOR SURE! I SO WANNA REREAD IT.

OH MY GAWD HELP I'M DROWNING IN SO MUCH CUTENESS WSHWHSWHSHWHSW SERIOUSLY THIS IS AMAZING. It's a simple story of love between high schoolers honestly you know JUST MY TYPE. They are MEANT for each other. Nanase had already heard about Sakurai, it was like fate. The fact that he was just shy and always wanted to act tough in front of Sakurai was so cute. AND THEY ARE SUCH GOOD BOYS TOO. I'm so sad that Nanase was lonely in his childhood. His parents were busy a lot and made Nanase take all those lessons and tho they wanted to make him not feel lonely it backfired. BUT SAKURAI WAS RIGHT THERE FOR HIM AND WILL ALWAYS BE. Their growing feelings and them slowly becoming close was so smooth. AND THE ART IS AMAZING DAMN I GOT BUTTERFLIES ALL OVER MY STOMACH. MASTERPIECE.
Hello, Melancholic!
Oh man, alright, humm, i'm not ready to end this yet. SHIT. I LOVE THEM. First of all, it's so hard to find a good yuri. This one has great art and a unique plot. The story is so good, it really focus on the characters' feelings. I love how we get to see them changing their way of thinking and expressing. The main couple is really easy to understand and they are so adorable. BUT YOU KNOW ME the second couple oh man has got me good but they are bit complicated HA. I wanna say a few things about them that bothered me a bit. Sakiko and Chika's relationship in the beginning seemed a little toxic to me. Chika just did whatever Sakiko wanted and Sakiko became too dependent of Chika too, she didn't care about anything else. They were both really lonely and i assumed it was because Chika's dad wasn't around and her mom worked a lot and Sakiko on the other hand had a rich family which probably neglected her, only cared about appearances... That was the part i didn't like it, i'm assuming things because we never got Sakiko's pov and Chika really explaining her family situation... i really would like to see these. But i believe that their relationship was grown and the fact that they are going to different universities is a proof of it. They are going to live their life but still TOGETHER. Like Minato said, they are not only looking at each other anymore, they are looking in the same direction. THIS RIGHT HERE IS SO MEANINGFUL. The whole manga is and i love it. And it could have more chapters, it would be great! I don't know why it isn't popular. ALSO, WHY DIDN'T WE GET TO SEE EMA'S LOVER I WANNA KNOW WHO IT IS SO BAAAAAD aaaaa ALSO THE FACT THAT EACH CHAPTER TITLE IS A SONG .... G E N I U S
Sex Drop
OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN I LOVE THEM YOUR HONOR! Man, i dont know why... my brain doesn't control why he goes nuts for some couples but he just does. I KEPT SCREAMING LIKE CRAZY WHILE I WAS READING THIS. fIRST Of ALL, Shizume is daddy. He can choke me on any holy day. AMEN. But lets go to the plot. I wish it was more developed, it had some dept you know. I'm guessing Shizume being closeted is because of his introverted personality and Tomo being out because he's extroverted... but i wish it had more meaning to this. Also their first sex seemed sort of an alert to me. Shizume even said he treated Tomo badly, but for what Tomo said he was conscious, consensual. The rest of their sex is also kinky, comes on strong so they're into it. I'm a bit afraid of these topics because sometimes it looks like dubious consent. Anyway, i love this author. Their art is AMAZING. They are so beautiful. THIS ONE IS A FAV TOO AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SIMPING SO HARD FOR THEM BUT ichika bachika is still my baby from this author. BUT MAN THE WAY SHIZUME KISSES TOMO, SLEEPS HUGGING HIM AAAANDD BUYS MATCHING RINGS????SHUT THE FUCK UP DONT YOU DARE TELL ME IN THE COMMENTS THEY ARE GONNA LAST 5 MONTHS BITCH THEY ARE GONNA LAST FOR INFINITY AND BEYOND. also, go check this song "streets - doja cat", i totally thought about it while i was reading it.
Cupid ni Rakurai
Oh man they are so cute!!! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!! I love how in the second volume it was not that cliche thing where Ao was jealous of Shingo practicing the dance with the girl and how the girl wasn't even going to confess to him, she liked his friend. And then we got Shingo misunderstanding things and being jealous of Ao. I'm guessing that Takeo really started liking Ao right, since he said some things like "I lost huh" and stuff. This part i didn't like it. Anyway I love how Shingo and Ao couldn't explain why they liked it each other at first, but they really knew what they liked about each other. Man, when you're in love, i guess that everything the other person does is more reason to like them. It was interesting when Shingo thought that maybe Ao was on that suspension bridge effect and Ao tried to overcome his fear to show that it wasn't it. Even if he wasn't afraid anymore he would still want to be with Shingo. And Shingo also thought like "maybe anyone could do what i did, help him" the truth is anyone could that first time, but it was HIM so. Like they said, we can't keep on focusing on the what ifs because when things happen, they just happen in a certain way, with a certain person, in a certain time. That's how it is. And then they created that bond and developed feelings for each other, and then of course Ao wouldn't want another person. OKAY SO I heard that Takeo has his own story with his friend, glasses kun... I'm looking forward to it!! I think my ranking on her stories are Golden sparkle (BECAUSE I'M TOO WEAK FOR THEM), these babies right here from cupid ni rakurai and Darlin Iikagen ni shiya gare. I would give Cupid ni rakurai 4.5 stars.
