Renchard's manga / #childhood friends(18)

I am so happy this BL got a sequel! Although it was short, I believe that it showed enough of these characters’ future to give us a sense of what will happen to them.

This was an alright BL. The story was really simple with not a lot of things special about it. I liked how this did include a lesbian couple which was really different from other BLs, but that’s the most interesting aspect about it. It was also a bit too short and we didn’t even get to see a kissing scene, which really annoyed me. Overall, this BL was nothing out of the ordinary.

Okay this has quickly become a favorite of mine. The premise in it of itself is very interesting, but it is also executed very well. The characters are also very fun to watch, especially the uke! I have to say this has got to be one of my favorite ukes of all time. He isn’t shy or a blushing mess, and he knows what he wants. He’s a dominant person and I love his dominance honestly. Makes everything so much more interesting. I really can’t wait for more!

This started off really strong with a lot of potential, but in the end I really didn’t feel anything at all. The villain got off WAY too easily and the main characters were really annoying all the way up until the very end. The plot and supernatural element is this BLs strongest point. I’m super invested with the Fate and Envy stones, and I loved their inclusion. I wish we had a few more BLs with this kind of magical/superpower elements within them that are also used in fights. I wish the author would’ve leaned into this element instead of that awful rape plot. Ugh, this story had too much sexual assault for my taste, and it isn’t even handled decently. The main character is even THREATENED to be raped by his love interest and that whole thing is brushed away. That’s really the main thing keeping me from loving the BL, because the main love interest was just toxic and the main character is just dumb.

This has to be one of the cutest and fluffiest couples I have ever read about in a BL. They are just so cute and perfect for one another! This was a really cute and short story with an adorable couple! I really loved reading it!

This BL was truly beautiful. The complexities of the characters and their misunderstandings were so fascinating to watch, and I loved seeing them slowly grow and develop. It was truly a masterpiece! Everything just felt so bittersweet and yet satisfying at the same time! The emotions I received from this story was just astronomical, not many BLs have been able to make me feel this way.

Aw this was such a heartwarming and a beautiful love story. The amount of fluff the story had along with the plot was just excellent. I really loved watching the relationship develop!

This BL was honestly SO amazing, but I just really disliked season 2! It felt very repetitive and just a rehash of season 1. I felt like we were just going in circles and worrying about slightly different conflicts. Ugh, it was just so frustrating to read. I wasn’t even that satisfied until I read the side stories, which really tells you something about the main story. The characters were pretty complex in the beginning, but by season 2 they both frustrated the heck out of me! Anyways solid story, solid art, solid characters, just repetitive conflicts.
