Breaks my heart over and over. That one childhood friend really fucked him up, eh. My poor baby. He's a good kid Edit: something like no closure? No, there was, but I need more closure. It sure was easy for them, eh? Getting to gether. Too easy? Though there were 3 years in between. The angst isn't properly addressed. I don't know. Great story. Not satisfied Edit: I definitely need more of an ending. Loved it, though
Go Houbi Chikubi
I'm kinda really into this? Akagi is the perfect kinda understanding and chill seme someone like Suga, who has been hurt before needs. Also, fuck that homophobic piece of shit senpai. I hate that he never got his comeuppance. Well, I still enjoyed this. Such a shallow and porny premise, yet some surprisingly wholesome moments and themes woven in. Nice. 4.5

Loved the stories. They never needed sex to make the readers interested. I never read for those scenes. Ilya's death was so sad, yet so rife with purpose. He gifted Misha a life. A life for his 20th birthday. Simply beautiful. Gian is a good fit for Misha. I liked them together. Though a bit resentful that he hurt him (though he has every right to his feelings, so) I loved Esteban and Oscar. Definitely a death I did not expect. I hope against all hope that Esteban will be loved. I am so happy he made it. He deserves it. Callo and DO were the easiest to read, and maybe the hottest too. Loved their lightness in this rather bittersweet manhwa My favourite couple was definitely the actors. I quite liked Louis going after Eric. He did hurt him a bit but he made an excellent effort at amends. Really nice ending. My poor Edo, I didn't particularly care for Hugo. But felt bad for Melvin who was being doubly hurt. No room for poor Edo inn there though (why no 3p :( ? ). May he be happy. As can be judged from how he treated Oscar with dignity even in death, you could tell he is such a precious soul
Shoushin Otoko ni Haru no Arashi
This one was beautiful and really touching somehow. Eisuke's world had become so lonely and colourless, but Kai got him out. Kai had a tiny microscopic mean streak but was mostly kind and clearly cared a lot about Eisuke. Eisuke was also a likable character, and am glad ti see him happy. The side characters were also all lovely, surprisingly. Not a single annoying one, not even the step mother. And the divorced mom apparently even supports them! Definitely a forever kinda love. Simple but good. 4.8
Nakanai Hibari
Sumi, who was Hibari's brothers bestfriend, takes over as Hibari's guardian after his brother passes away. Sumi is so careful with him (,,•́ . •̀,,) Obviously, there are issues with Sumi being in a position of authority. But we must not forget that Hibari loved him well before his brother passed away. Also, Sumi properly waited until he was an adult. He had so much restraint, it was a pleasant surprise. I wish this brother we didn't even see much of hadn't passed away, though. How it pains me, how much his passing has scarred them. My single complaint is the sex scene cuts to the heavy stuff right away. I wish we got to see more of Sumi's tenderness. 5
