I really liked this one. It had a nice and easygoing feel. I like the fact that instead of jumping straight to going out and having sex immediately after the confession, they actually take the time to get to know each other and fall in love slowly. The relationship is nicely built. Wish there were more stories like this instead of the extremely overdone yaoi plot. Ahh this is exactly why I like slice of life genre in manga: they actually take time to develop the plot and story as a whole, instead of sticking to the more typical shallow feelings and relationships. This story stands out with its character development (even if it was only the 2 mc’s). Ofcourse, there could be more developments to some parts of the story (so ok. Maybe they DID jump to sex a liiitle bit too quickly. There could have been a bit more space between that and the confession. Like maybe a small, pure kiss, or something. Even just going out for a little while first. That way, the feelings of both would be more properly established. That was the only part that really struck me.) There could also be a bit more explanations and development to other characters (like about the seme’s roommate), But, other than that, overall it was a good story.

All About Lust

Just gonna rate this 8.5/10 instead of out of 5. I really liked the first story, it was hellaflippin hilarious and so cute. As for the second, I liked it as well, but not as much. I feel like the story about the second couple more embodied the title: “All About Lust”. Like seriously. There was so much damn sex I almost got bored. Ahh but well it had a really awesome and well-developed storyline with well-developed characters to go along with it, so there’s no criticisms from me. I also like the fact that both seasons ended so well, leaving behind no loose ends, no mysteries, and not too much dissatisfaction. If the reader was left with any questions in season one, it was answered with the events of season two since both stories overlapped. Anyways, overall, it was a great read, and I can see why it’s so popular. I never thought I would read or like something like this (and I skipped over it so many times), since I don’t like “sex friend to lover” plots, but I’m glad I read it. I don’t think I’d read it again, but I will forever appreciate the story.

Slow Starter (ichikawa Kei)

Complete | ichikawa kei | 2012 released

Was an ok manga but I got kinda bored with it. Maybe next time when I’m in the mood I’ll try reading it again.. Edit (few months later): WHY IN TARNATION WAS I EVER BORED OF THIS? IT WAS FLIPPIN KAWAII!!! gosh I really like bl like this one: slow, natural development of feelings, not confusing lust with love and jumping straight to sex (like every yaoi manga ever), good character development. Gosh this is the reason why I like slice of life shounen-ai manga.
