Ng._.uyen's manga / #neighbors(5)

This was a super wholesome and sweet read, there was a nice plot and I really liked the pacing of the relationship between the main characters. It didn't feel too rushed or too slow, and I really liked how it didn't purely revolve around some type of sexual relationship like most BL would do (which isn't a bad thing but this was a nice breath of fresh air). Despite it, having teacher/student relationship qualities certain aspects of the story felt so real and natural, I really liked how the author portrayed that. I'm also a huge sucker for Domestic au's so this gave me serotonin. Also, I absolutely love the art style, the character design is really well done, and their facial expressions hurt me in all the best ways. Overall this was a nice read and I would recommend this to any BL reader who wants some nice fluff with not too much drama.

This was ... interesting. I am not sure how I feel about this because this isn't selfcest but it really does feel like selfcest and for a hot minute I got scared because I thought it WAS incest between brothers but thank goodness it wasn't!!! Overall I actually really enjoyed this because while there were some questionable things (like the underlying selfcest) the plot was entertaining. While this wasn't a heavy themed life lesson story there was a concept that I feel like most people can resonate within the manga that I enjoyed reading. I also liked watching everything unfold, like watching the changes in the main characters' relationship, seeing the main characters' past "flings" pop up and introduce themselves, and seeing why the main character acts the way he acts. And the ART!!! This art style is amazing and so unique, most BL manga has very similar and distinct features that overlap with each other, and while this one did contain that "essence" it had its own unique qualities (like a cartoonish feel, but also very distinct facial features). Overall I did enjoy this though some things were a bit questionable.
