narutolvr's manga / #Yaoi(189)

Not bad. The second story was rather interesting (though the first was unremarkable). The train story didn't make much sense to me until someone else explained it though; it was being told from the pov of the guy after his run in with the molester forced him to acknowledge his homosexuality. Makes so much more sense!

Not bad.

This was really interesting! With the exception of the first, I thoroughly enjoyed all the stories. I really wish the 4th story had been continued, though. I want to see more!

Interesting arrangement which I think really helped make the story more enjoyable. Let's be honest: the plot by itself is really just alright (though the characters are really very interesting) so the fact that we see them 8 years in the future and then go back to see how they all came together helped maintain my interest longer than a normal pace would have. Tbh, though, I felt the cousin's character was completely unnecessary as he didn't really drive the plot; despite the fact that the 1st chapter seems to set him up as MC, we quickly see that he has pretty much no effect on the other characters. So I guess the author could have either saved herself the time by not including his character altogether, or spent more time on trying to give him a purpose in the story. If all of the relationships/interactions between the characters were the same before and after the cousin comes in, what's the point?

Hated a ton of the stories as this author just seemed to have a thing for awful, shitty characters and the people who settle for them. I did somewhat enjoy chapters 6 and 7 though. And one other chapter somewhere in the middle

More shounen ai than yaoi, but it did introduce the idea of a homosexual relationship so I'll count it as both. But it was alright, not very interesting, but not the worst I've ever seen. This author is pretty good with the characters' emotions- though this wasn't at the depth of Blue Sky Complex, it certainly wasn't just some shallow read. It was never clear whether Hiroto was just going along with Onoda not to lose him as a friend, or if he had romantic feelings as well.

Unexpected turn of events I suppose? But lol

Really interesting! I'm actually super impressed! Even more, I'm glad the author didn't go the expected route of having the uke lie about having a boyfriend (it's what I expected) but instead really maintained two very different MCs than I'm used to seeing. But despite the heavy and dramatic narrative/background the author inserts in the story, it doesn't feel rushed at all, even with only 25 pages. In fact, it has a somewhat slow, relaxed pace which contrasts the story in such an interesting way. I'm a huge fan of stories that do that!

Not bad.

It was super cute! Wish I could have seen more though
