Love Me Hard
Story of Yuma and Kenichi the salary man
Yumemiru Taiyou
I stopped reading at 40th chapter but am not putting it in dropped because I'd finish it if I were less bored/tired. But, as it is, the end is pretty predictable, and I don't feel like watching the main couple flounder about for 7 more chapters just to finally date properly. Only wish for Zen to be happy with the bishoujo. And maybe the dad to get some comeuppance for being a perennial asswipe. But, overall, it wasn't bad. Despite the fact that it was built on a pretty shaky premise (who the hell goes to live with 3 strangers?), it had its funny moments. It did drag on (I thought chapter 24 was only a few chapters out from the end lol), but it comes with the territory I guess.
Hajimari no Niina
Really cute and sweet! I do wish the author spent more time hashing out the past life drama though. It was such a promising backdrop to the story!
Allegro Agitato
This was...interesting. Once again, this author has a superb ability to convey the darkest of emotions in such a clean way. It's very curious; the art isn't particularly hard or convoluted, but all of her stories seem to convey it so well.
Karada Meate De Warui Ka
How can I describe this? It has a different feel from other yaoi, but I couldn't stop reading. Somehow, even with all of their strangeness and flaws, the characters were so endearing. Maybe because they seemed as real and random as real people? And I really enjoyed the dialogue, especially in the first story. Somehow, the lulls in conversation spoke volumes.
House of Beauties
High school girl runs away to Tokyo to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. One step before being homeless, she finds an inexpensive boarding house with one condition: all tenants must be beautiful. Review: Uh...okay I guess? It wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. A solid shoujo- great for passing time.
