Karasugaoka Don't be shy!! 2
Just like the first volume, this was super cute!! Rather than being about them getting together, we get to see how they're dealing with the change of their relationship to a romantic one and the bumps they're still running into along the way. It was adorable honestly

Holy fuck this was SO GOOD??? I can't believe it took me so long to get around to reading it, it's been on my radar for years. It starts off a bit slow but things pick up really nicely and it becomes just SO cute, I adore the main couple so much... The side couple is also lovely, I liked the contrast they had against the main couple! The more rocky and imperfect development was a nice change of pace from the cute and relatively smooth development of the main couple. I wish we got at least a little more of the second couple in the end, but I also think the ambiguous end for them fits them really well. Cannot recommend this enough honestly
Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu
Wow I REALLY like this. It's so interesting and incredibly well written and illustrated, the art is so gorgeous and haunting, it conveys emotions so well. I could feel the dread in tense moments and the deep sadness in others, soooo well done. And again the story is SO interesting, what a unique concept... The idea of a "god" inhabiting the body of your dead best friend (and crush I believe) and then living with and adjusting to that fact is terrifying. Cannot recommend this enough, genuinely

Reread: while I did find this to be cute, it wasn't as enjoyable as I initially remembered it being. While I do enjoy the couple and think that their development was nice, I also have mixed feelings about parts of it, especially when it comes to the carnivore/herbivore dynamic in the world. I've never been a fan of the idea that the more "dominant" group is known to prey on and be unable to control their urges when it comes to the more "submissive" group, it's always read as a little gross to me and excusing bad behavior? There are definitely cases where it's done well, and I don't think this was a poorly done case by any means, it just wasn't the best Reread count: 1

Uh. Well. The art is nice?? I thought the scenes were well done and all, but the rape really just puts me off, not a fan at all. Poor guy tbh, at least he got out of the train gangbang situation…
All About Lust
I loved this so much!! I thought it was so cute and silly and both the couples were so enjoyable to follow. Plus I liked the open discussion around sexuality a lot, and seeing good ace representation in yaoi is always so special to me, especially since it's so rare. Super recommended this one, loved it a lot
Unmei no Tsugai ga Omae da Nante
This was pretty mid tbh, I think the fact that bro still held a grudge he formed in middle school YEARS later when his ass is 29 years old is stupid, but I also felt like their relationship wasn't that interesting. Like it felt like enemies to lovers for the sake of enemies to lovers, not an interesting development or plot. And the ending was rushed as hell, it felt like we speedran married and family life. It wasn't an awful read it just wasn't that good either

Reread: this was cute! I like the concept and think it's unique, the art is pretty, and the couple was nice to follow. It's worth the read Reread count: 1
