mekakushi no kuni
Read this twice and yet somehow it's not on my read list. It was a good story, it started off a bit slow (but enjoyable) and really picked up in the later chapters once we got to look into their pasts a bit. The end left me with a bittersweet feeling- I feel like it gave me all it needed to but I still wanted more. But a great story nonetheless.
Game X Rush
Really well done! Wished it were longer but the irresolute resolution did fit the story quite well. The plot surprised me quite a bit- I wouldn't have been able to predict where it was going in the first several chapters so it was great in that respect.
Udagawachou De Mattete Yo.
This was rather interesting. I did wish I could have learned more about Yashiro's desire to crossdress, like how he felt doing it, etc.
Koi wo Shimashou
Very psychological but still interesting. I disliked some of the stories, liked others, and felt nothing for others but, in the end, I'm still happy that I took the time to read this.
Ouji No Hakoniwa
The first story definitely rubbed me the wrong way but I liked the 2nd and the extra at the end. Not to mention, something about Ogawa Chise's art makes me want to keep looking at it. Her characters have a strange allure about them -it's like exaggerated sexiness?
Unbalance Na Netsu
This author's side comments are absolutely hilarious! As for the story...I don't know what to think, tbh. I can of understand why he ended up with the person he did, but I would have preferred if he didn't get with either of them (they were both just too messy). I'm glad things seemed to work out in the end, though.
Akumu No Elevator
Oh this was good! This was real good! I was at the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading, and even now I want to know what happened next.
Kirihito Sanka
It was fairly interesting, and the medical aspects seemed really accurate. I liked that the good characters weren't all good; they struggled with conceit, anxiousness, crippling self-doubt, and moments of anger just like real people would. The bad guys were pretty much completely bad, though, which left them as rather 1 dimensional characters. There were also quite a few loose ends that were never really tied up, and I at least wanted Osanai to get something in return for the hell he was put through.
Birthday
This was a really beautiful and sad story. I'm glad they at least got to make worthwhile memories together before he died.
