Oko-sama Star
It was a nice story and the characters were cute but the art seemed messy somehow. By that I mean the artistic extras (like the blushes and sweat droplets) were so excessive I found it difficult to focus on the story. I guess I would have preferred if the art were a bit cleaner?
Kazuki Makes Love Happen?! At All-boys High School*
The ending sucked; it was sudden, confusing, and clashed with the rest of the story. The MC made a point to say he was in love with Yu at the end, but all throughout the story, even during the "climax" scene where he rejects Yu, he admits to just using Yu to make himself feel better. I also disliked Kazuki's character- if she didn't feel that way about the MC, she shouldn't have acted in such a misleading way with him, and about him with her friends. But the character I disliked the most was Yu because I could never believe his feelings were genuine. He just seemed to be messing with the MC for fun for the entire series, then got mad when the MC rejected him (for a pretty decent reason, I'd say) even though he was constantly trying to take advantage of the MC every time he got dumped. It was like some weird power play that he wanted to back out of once the MC grew strong enough to voice his own opinions/desires without being swayed by Yu. And then for his feelings to change suddenly in 2 weeks after claiming he'd "wait forever", just really made me think he was playing with the MC the whole time. The words of the last chapter didn't seem to flow from the rest of the story somehow and ended up sounding kinda cliche and preachy ("it doesn't matter the gender...you never know what will happen in love") so that kinda ruined the end for me. At least there may be hope for him and Yuhi (Go and Kazuki are def gonna break up quickly though lol)

vol. 2, ch. 3. So touching! T.T
Kanemochi-kun To Binbou-kun
This was really touching somehow! The art wasn't the greatest but somehow the character designs just made them more endearing. And the grandfather was so adorable, holding on to his love for so long! I wish I could have gotten to see more of his past and his reunion with Misaki's grandpa in heaven!
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.
