Kuzu wa Kyuu ni wa Naoranai
Man idk. Got good moments, but MC gets way too carried away with his tunnel-vision thinking. Also…he’s not very empathetic???? He’s quite self-centred, in a socially awkward way, like fearing other ppl so much he psychoanalyses them but only to the extent of protecting his own psyche. Nothing about how to make them happy, even if that “them” is his romantic partner. They do go all “yeah let’s try to meet in the middle, let’s both be patient and do our best.” But that’s about it, not much action is shown for those words. Also, many moments uke is like “why won’t he be honest with me” like dude…it’s cuz you didn’t give him a safe environment to feel comfortable being honest in……….Seme can be badly stubborn too but most of the time he just seems to be communicating normally? And trying to understand the uke? He’s definitely amicable to change if his flaws are pointed out, so why tf is the uke going all “wah wah he did this to me I knew we were never meant to be” like stfu how about some more empathetic thinking and pro activity from your end??? In the end he does make his own steps but man. Uke is lowkey annoying with his nihilism, he’s fr blocking out seme’s efforts in communicating like a human being
Raising a Bat
Guilty pleasure frrrrrfrf4rfrfrfrfrfr Loved it to bits, I def got them angst chapters bookmarked There was a buttload of teen drama and scenarios and miscommunication, so much that the author’s decisions felt a little corny. Oh well, enjoyable nonetheless. In another lens this could read as a fantasy self-insert of an author that was abused by their parents lol. Had some very “and they lived happily ever after” elements. Surrogate family was too good to be true. though idk if it’s cuz I read a lotta guilty pleasure stories but this one felt a tiny bit stereotypical? Like it followed a formula I’ve seen before? Some of the directions the author took felt childish and typical, like “oh yeah let’s just kill off the child abuser parent in an accident, that’ll be his retribution.” Like ehhhh it could’ve taken a better and more novel route imo. Also the paneling near the beginning was a little awkward but the dialogue was on point. Got much better later on, including he art. Translations get a little wonky halfway but they’re still understandable, the message still delivers.
Sakamoto Days
Perfect pacing, kept me engaged all 100+ chapters, amazing storytelling. Love all the characters, they’re actually super unique. Super interesting plot, I’m willing to read it till the end
Fake Fact Lips
4.6-5*; cute, love the mutual tsundere respect
Therapy Game Restart
They’ve grown so much ;w; such respectful and mature baddies Their respect for their own and each other’s work life is SO COOL AND AMAZING I love how they don’t force the “who’s more informant? Me or work?” -bullshit. They communicate so well and they’re individually such amazing people. POWER COUPLE!!!!! Also wow seme’s social skills are smth I can genuinely learn from; his mannerisms are def gonna go into my dictionary lol. I wanna learn his patient care methods… Uke’s ability to hold back gloomy thoughts developed so well in this sequel, and def smth I can also learn from too. He doesn’t let his demons conquer him and goes against his knee-jerk rxns of distrust and avoidance
Iki Dekinai no wa Kimi no Sei
They’re so mature So loveable So CUTE SO AMAZING SO EGGSY AAAAAEEEEEEEEEE
To You In The Swamp
Well, that!s as rapey as rape goes :D Blonde seme is such an obvious antagonist he’s almost flat lmao Story’s a little uhhhh cardboard cutout ngl, but I guess it’ll have some enjoyable angst
I Became the Lousy Side Top
Ok so interesting premise but the MC is built like a literal uke LOL there is not a single speck of “seme” in his character design. Personality-wise he’s pretty much Mary Sue uke but eh, cute manhwa nonetheless. I wonder if the author is trying to hitch Munson and Yoon together tho… That’d be a fun pairing hehe The kids are so cute and well-behaved I wanna just hug them and give them the whole world ;;-;; They grew up too fast for their aye, the whole lot of those children in that family
