Okusama wa Alpha
Wow, this one was a roller coaster. I really enjoyed reading this, the plot was interesting and I really liked the dynamics of the main characters. BUT ... yes, there were some very problematic things going on throughout the story, the mom really did the most problematic things without her son's best interests in mind, the doctor's methods were VERY IFFY, and the uke was in the wrong BUT the ending was nice. No everyone is not redeemed but we can see the genuine love between the main characters and they had the most precious baby who I wish we could have seen more of. Also, do NOT get me started on the art!!! IMMACULATE, the proportions, the facial expressions, the character designs, the shading, literally everything was so pretty, and pleasing to look at. Overall this was a pretty good read, WILD yes, but really good none-the-less.

I don't normally give out 5 stars bc I feel like only the best to the best deserve it but THIS MANGA RIGHT HERE takes the fucking cake. This was one of the FUNNIEST things I have ever read, I was here cackling every 5 mins. For a gag manga, the author honestly did very well, and apparently, when this came out she was very new to BL writing but it really doesn't show because she wrote a really entertaining story, and the art is AMAZING. I was so scared for a while bc there are some iffy problematic parts in here but the way the author resolves it in such a humorous way redeems everything and I just love it. The characters are just so entertaining and loveable, and for a story that just revolves around sex the author did so well, I feel like I just read a fulfilling book about each character's whole life story. I absolutely adored everything about this from her artstyle, to the character's dialogue, to the funny facial expressions, and to the caring way the seme, despite being known as the "Emporer" of the prestigious BDSM club, acts during plays and outside of plays is just so great. This was generally one of the most entertaining BL's I have ever read, and I will definitely be reading this again. Overall this deserves a 69/69 and I highly recommend this to readers who like BDSM and just really want a good laugh
Shingeki no Kyojin dj - X
Ok, this actually has a pretty cool plot and if this was a full manga (and not a one-shot doujinshi) I'd totally binge this. Overall this was cool and I really like the art style.
Hitori to Hitori no 3650nichi
This was generally a really heartbreakingly beautiful story. It really encompasses an example of a situation where a person cannot forgive themselves for what they did so they deal with that pain by hurting themselves, nicely. While this exact situation may not be real, the author definitely expressed those emotions of pain, retreat, and guilt through their writing very well. The dialogue between the characters and especially their facial expressions was on point and really helped add even more emotion and depth to the story. I also really loved the author's art style for both stories, it is briefly mentioned in the "authors comments" that they produced both stories within the span of 3 years. You could see how their art style changed and gotten better while at the same time still was able to maintain that aspect unique to this author. Overall I generally did enjoy reading this story, and it gave me my dose of sadness that I need once and a while when reading tons of BL's daily.
Kimi wa Natsu no Naka
This was a really amazing story, it had an interesting plot with nice pacing and I really loved the characters. It truly depicted the innocence of high school love very well and was just such a heartwarming story. The art style was well done too, it's pretty basic but the author really focused on their facial expressions and writing to get the overall mood out and it was really nice. I also really like how the author drew backgrounds and I really liked how easy going the story was, meaning how easy it was to understand and keep up with. Overall this was a really nice story and I highly recommend it if you want some good fluff, or if you're new to BL and want something short and innocent.
Kimi to Natsu no Naka
Another great manga sequel to add to my "already read" list :) This was so adorable and fluffy and was a great continuation of the first story. It made me fall in love with the main characters all over again. Overall this was a great read and seriously deserves an anime adaptation.
THEO
This was so good, I'm devastated. First and foremost THE ART!!! This generally had one of the most pretty art styles I have ever seen. The designs of the characters and the expressions of the characters are so well done. If you look closely there isn't actually very much dialogue but through how expressive the characters are, and how well the author drew each scene we get a depth to the story that just writing can't capture. The scenery and little details helped build the story and aided the author's already amazing plot. This was a beautiful entertaining story that really hits you in the feels. I would have loved to see the author go more into depth about Rei's parents, and I would love to see more of Theo's and Rei's relationship and more into the science about Batsu's. Overall though this was generally just a really good read.
Yakuza wo Shibatte Ii desu ka
I thought this was going to revolve purely around sex and be super kinky and turns out I got a really good story with cool characters, an interesting plot, and really nice art. This had nice pacing and I like how the author revealed the "twist" at the end, it really was a game changer for the main characters relationship. The dynamic bewteen the characters and their ineractions was so sweet and the bondage scenes O_O dfnvlsnfvlsdnlv well done!!!! Overall this was a really good read, and I totally reccomend it especially for those who like bondage :)
1.5 Meters From Love
The art for this is literally some of the prettiest things I have EVER seen, the characters design is IMMACULATE, and I just adore all of the little details like one of the main character's tattoos, and earrings. Literally, the art is just so beautiful, I love everything about it, and it makes the story just 100 times better. Overall the plot for this was interesting and I loved the chemistry between the love interests, it's funny how the masks ended up being relevant to us today. The only thing that I didn't entirely like was the pacings, it was a bit weird and it made the storyline a bit confusing. Overall I did enjoy reading this and really wished it was longer.
