Hitsuji no Kawa wo Kita Kemono
really went better than i expected. i thought i'd hate the seme but he really did redeem himself in a really humane way too
Handflower
ayy this is interesting, pretty art, buff uke, delicious titties at the notes page..... but fuck the public lmao what yall got to do with a man who's injured, unable to pursue goals in the near future and might be gay.... fucking bunch of jobless losers who got nothing interesting to do so they drink their meaningless life away.... im sorry for getting mad over a fucking yaoi book but i swear these kind of irritating houseflies are just free and rampant in society and i hate seeing them lol
Tora no Ejiki
a lil rushed, but interesting plot. ex-yakuza x ex-hacker? and a bigger bottom?? five star meal. i wish the ending had a lil more time to be fleshed out, i wanted at least a chapter or two to close things up nicely
Yonin no Nibiiro
really investing read. all the bases were covered really well, both the yakuza aspect and the bl aspect were developed without ignoring one for the other like how the mom did to makoto and ai oops. finished the book just for ai, well he's messed up but then again every single one of these mfs were. and ai's beautiful as all hell so he gets a free pass. this would've been realistic (especially all those emotions, looking at the world from the well you're in, the way loneliness and never feeling love in a house w people twists you etc etc. pure amazing portrayals) if it weren't for how stupid some of these mcs were. good god sometimes their decisions pissed me off so much lmao. but the plot was really good, everyone had their own really twisted redemption and karma served with extra sauce.... the only thing that was constant in this absolute mad tornado of a plot was ai's pretty face. i swear i'll never get enough of bottoms like him ahhhhhh...
Usagi no Mori
there are definitely very problematic elements in the book but they're done SO WELL and so realistically that i genuinely cannot find any fault with the writing. and i dont even have to speak about the art. it's fucking god tier oh my god
My Way With You
found this by chance on twt bc the author is coming out w a new work (and it somehow got recommended to me tho i never even seen this creator before on my feed) so i went down a rabbit hole looking at their art. i was ready to be let down a lil but i was right on the nose abt pretty seme and that badass looking guy being the uke aaaaahhhhh and to think it's finished??? lovely day today edit: if i wasnt good at controlling my expressions i would be on the floor right now with a hot face full of tears and heart about to explode from feels. BEST READ IN A LONG FUCKING TIMEEEEEEEE OHMYGOD I HAVE NOTHING MORE TO SAY I LOVE THEM BOTH IM GIRAN'S NUMBER ONE FAN I WANT TO SEE THEM HITCHING UP AND THE WEDDING (preferably by the ocean) AND THE CATS AND PUPPIES AND THE PDA AND THE FASHION AND THEM IN THE GYM OR PLAYING BASKETBALL OR GIRAN DEMOLISHING SOMEBODY IN ARM WRESTLING PLS GIVE ME MORE
The Secret Case Files of the Cafe April
this was really heartwarming! a lil silly at times but also heavy. focused a lot on people who live at the border between light and dark, all looking for love. i really love both miharu and daiki, they fit eo better and better as the chapters went on. beefy bottoms appeared only here and there but i really didnt mind lol. also that gang boss??? one fine sire holy shit
