The Keystone Romantic Combination
Gift 2 - Boku no Hero Academia dj
I don't really ship Boku no Hero characters since obviously it is a shonen and NOT romance but I can respect this ship and this was such a sweet read. The first one was so adorable and this sequel did not disappoint, I absolutely adored this. I hope to see more of this in the future!!!
Ookami-kun wa kowakunai
AHHHH this was so cute and I am such a huge sucker for animal characteristics and I've been meaning to read this for a long time and finally did and it was so sweet. I liked the plot it was pretty interesting despite having a lot of standard omegaverse themes. While it isn't an omegaverse it does have some subtle hints that I think worked well in the story. I really loved the dynamic of the two main characters, their relationship is so pure and sweet and their interactions are so adorable. I also really liked the art style, the character designs, and animal characteristics were well done. Overall this was a very cute read and I'll head on over to read the sequels now :)
Hana To Usagi
This was super funny and oddly wholesome at times, I really love how the author progressed the relationship between the main characters. This was a generally funny story and I really enjoyed reading all the interactions the couple had with each other. I normally don't read multiple story manga but I also really enjoyed the two other one-shots. They were both really interesting and well done. I also adore this author's art style, just like in their other manga their characters designs are well done, and I love how they draw facial expressions. Overall this was a sweet read and I would recommend this to other BL readers.
Akihabara Fall In Love
This was a pretty cute read, the main plot's story was pretty standard the whole "I'm straight but I'm only gay for you" but overall it wasn't bad. I liked the otaku aspect of the story because it helped overall with the comedic part of the story, and I really liked the dynamic between the characters and their funny interactions. I really liked this particular author's stories because they have a really nice art style and their plots are usually pretty well done. That being said this one isn't my favorite manga by them but still was a pretty good read.
Hatsukoi no Tonari
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.
Dead White
Despite me still not knowing what exactly happened in the end even though I read this almost 10 times, I have to say this was so beautiful for a one-shot. I loved the dialogue and art, and though I would love more context for EVERYTHING, this was very well done.
Itoshi no Mirai-kun
This wasn't a bad read by any means but this is definitely not my favorite work from this author, I like this author's writings because they always come up with unique plots, and give depth to their stories. However, for this manga, I think they tried to force too much conflict on the main character for entertainment purposes yet they didn't fully resolve it to give the story and character full closure. While I can see these events being somewhat realistic and I love how the author portrayed the feelings of the main character's, I disliked how the author depicted the main character getting abused and used as a character trait to make him "innocent" and "stupid". While the main characters are ultimately endgame there was no proper character development for the uke and there were too many unresolved problems from the main conflicts that made the story feel incomplete I did however like the art because the author has a unique art style and I love the way they draw their characters. Overall the wasn't a bad read but this is not one of my favorite works from this author.
A Wisdom Tooth
This wasn't bad ... really I did enjoy this, however, I think the sudden reveal that they knew each other in the past and factoring in the age gap caught me off guard and made me rethink a lot of things haha. The overall concept wasn't bad it was entertaining, and I loved the art but this just isn't my cup of tea. I think the end was what tripped me up. However, I applaud the author for writing this because I heard how sad their previous work was ( that I still need to read whoops) and the ending for this one was super sweet!!!
