Jikyuu Jisoku de Nani ga Warui
This generally ended up being a really sweet manga and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Their relationship dynamic was so entertaining and the art was very well done.
You’re My Favorite Toy
There's No Way This Is Fate
I don't know what exactly I was expecting when I chose to read this but I'm not mad. As far as the plot goes it was pretty ok, we see a very common yaoi theme and the author made it unique and interesting. The art style is very unique as well so kudos to the artist for having interesting looking characters and nice proportions. The ending was pretty predictable but satisfying none the less, overall was an ok read.
SV Koi no Shinchoku ni Tsuite
This was a pretty mediocre story, the plot was cute ngl but there were some problems within the storyline and a few unresolved issues that left the story feeling a bit empty. The art style was VERY well done though, no complaints there. We have very nice looking characters, with great proportions, and that are easily distiguishable. Overall was an ok read.
Hatsukoi Encounter
This manga was honestly one of the cutest and most wholesome things I have ever read. The plot was interesting and somewhat fulfilling, the character's personalities were very refreshing, and the art style is well done. With short manga, the sex scenes are either one of the best things you have ever read or one of the most rushed and unappealing things you have ever read. With this one, they were definitely amazing ;). Overall this was a very good read, and I recommend to anyone who likes a cute concept and a bit of comedy.
Totsugimasen Kara!
This one really made me crack up, I think this would be a good read for anyone who is just getting into the yaoi omegaverse because it's not to heavy within the sexual aspects, but it does give a good idea about some of the omegaverse elements. This was a very sweet and wholesome manga, the plot was was pretty typical, but the characters were so adorable, and some of the scenes made me laugh really hard. The art style was very well done, the only thing that messes with me is that Jin looks like Joe Jonas during his Camp Rock era and I literally CANNOT STOP LAUGHING. Overall this was definitely a good read, and I do recommend!
Motto Musunde, Aite Waya
This manga is pretty mediocre. A classic straight to gay story, but overall this was pretty funny and showed a pretty decent portrayal of a healthy BDSM relationship (even though this story isn't focused very heavily on the relationship aspect of BDSM). The art overall was well done, and the author did very well with drawing bondage scenes (the proportions and positions were very realistic). All in all, this was an ok read.
Ezuke wa Yahan, Ano Heya de
This whole manga was generally an amazing read. I don't normally read one-shots, I hate being left unsatisfied because I always end up wanting more content. But these stories were well done and very satisfying, for how short they were, each story had a well-set plot and great characters. I really liked how the author ended up connecting the first three stories together and we even got to see all the characters interacting with each other. Another thing I liked about this manga was the art style! The author's character design was great and even though there were so many different main characters they ended up differentiating each one, and I fell in love with all of them. Their proportions, facial expressions, clothing, and even the backgrounds were on point. The only thing that left me confused was the very last story, it felt like it kinda just came out of nowhere (but in no way am I complaining). The storyline was not connected unlike the first three, and I was not expecting a zombie au when the main reason I read this was for the vampires. I have to say that the last story was definitely my favorite, of course, I would have loved for it to have ended differently but it seemed very befitting. It definitely broke my heart a bit. Overall this was a great read and I highly recommend this to any yaoi audience.
Hate Mate
I am speechless ... I do not think I have EVER enjoyed reading a manhwa as much as I have enjoyed reading this one. I ended up finishing this in a few hours. When I read the synopsis, I assumed this would be a classic reconciliation between old friends that leads to that one straight character "turning gay", and them ending up with each other. In reality, this ended up being completely different and I have no complaints about this what so ever. The plot was very interesting and the story had a very good flow. What made me love this manhwa so much was how realistic the relationships were portrayed and how relatable the characters were. Subin's dynamic between his friends was relatable and their childish banter was very comical. The push and pull between Subin's and Hyunwoo's need for affection and their fear of intimacy were demonstrated very well. Subin's and Jun's relationship is also a good example of real-life issues many couples (and people) face within the 21st century. A lot of readers were pressed about the ending but I think the ending was very befitting and helped contribute to how raw and amazing this story was. The art style overall is very simplistic but the author makes up for this by being able to create a powerful emotional sensation to help drive the story. I loved how the author drew many of the character's facial expressions, unlike in western comics, they were less concerned with "beauty", and we got to see a more comical and relatable side to the characters. Overall this was an amazing read and will most likely be one of my favorite manhwas ever. I highly recommend this to anyone who is up for a good romance that is realistically depicted and not altered to fit into classic heavily fantastical romance stories.
