Lil Maniac's manga / #recommended(56)

I FRECKIN GIVE THIS 1 MILLION STARS This was so awesome omg it’s now the top of my list. Both mcs were amazing. This story was very realistic, which added a nice touch to the drama and events taking place. I love the fact that the relationship progressed so naturally, from being just a bit distant to being so close, making each other a better person, growing closer even through conflicts, just overall being so dedicated to each other. I truly love how their relationship was portrayed. Unlike almost every yaoi ever, neither the uke nor seme was forced into anything. Everything was consensual. If any problems arose, they went through it together. They solved misunderstandings with conversation. They were possessive of each other, but also wished the best for each other. Truly an ideal relationship. I didn’t like that the uke moved out right as the seme finally confessed his feelings tho. That was very selfish of him, without even thinking how the seme would feel. He redeemed himself after that tho, which I liked, and stayed by the seme’s side, supporting him. He’d do anything for the seme, even going as far as tarnishing his own name and dignity, if it was for the happiness of the seme. The same is true for seme-san. Gosh, I like him. To be willing to throw away everything, especially a company that was your dream and that you’ve built with your own hands, just so you could be with your partner. Seme-san, a man committed to his uke, even to the point of being willing to abandon everything for him. Get you a man like that. One thing that was realistic, and also something I very much like about this piece, is the fact that the uke struggled so much with his sexuality. Unlike other manga that portrays it as such an easy thing to get over, this one did a fine job portraying uke’s progression through denial to complete acceptance of his sexuality and ability to be with and love a man (I could go on about this but then it’d turn into an essay). Overall, this was a very exemplar story, and I wouldn’t mind, or actually, I’d love it if it could continue. Great job to the author for bringing out such an excellent piece.

Oml i freckin LOVE this!!! The female lead is so cool and strong~ she’s not the strongest, but she is steadily improving. I love that fact, that shes not over the top OP and still has room for improvement. I also love the fact that her husband is so strong and handsome, no one can go against him in strength or power (in terms of sociostatus). And best of all, THEY ARE SO FLIPPIN CUTE TOGETHER!!! LIKE WHAT?!!? OMG. I cant get enough of them. Im looking forward to them falling more in love with each other, and making all who oppose and look down on them eat dirt.

.. this was... THE BEST yaoi have ever read. It has surpassed all the hundreds of yaoi I’ve ever read and has reached number one by miles. Truly a masterpiece. This has everything I’m looking for in a (romance) story. The drama, the dark moments, the fluff. The themes are balanced and well done. One aspect I love is that though the uke and seme both have dark pasts (especially seme-san), they are able to look forward. They each accept that there is nothing they can do to change the past, so they resolve to look to the future instead. A future with each other, one where they are both happy. Another thing is how they are so reliant and in love with each other. Both are each other’s greatest weakness, but also each other’s greatest strength. I love that the seme only has eyes for the uke and has been gentle towards him ever since their first meeting. He has never once forced anything on him, always asks for consent first, and never allows anyone to lay a finger on him. As for the uke. Damn. I really like him. I never thought I’d meet an uke who is so understanding and loving. Despite knowing the seme’s past and line of work, he stays with him through thick and thin. It is exactly this that has become the seme’s salvation. What I love most about this uke is that (unlike other stupid ass ukes in almost every yaoi (and many shounen ai) ever) he makes decisions that count for both of them’s happiness. He doesn’t selfishly leave the seme for reasons like “he’d be better without me” or “this is for the best”, ignoring the seme’s feelings and hurting the seme in the process. He properly things everything through, and also faces the seme fully and without reserve. He always manages to ease the seme’s insecurities. I am honestly happy that the uke has not once left the seme. Just like that president lady said, he is indeed seme-san’s greatest weakness. But seeing that he is also the seme’s greatest strength, he doesn’t let outside influences affect his judgment, and properly sticks up for the seme at all times. If he had left the seme, I feel like that would have been it, and seme-san really would have broken down once and for all; his mental state would have taken a hard hit, and I’m not sure he’d be able to recover easily, if even at all. This story was wrapped up quite nicely. I can’t even begin to describe all the things I like about this. Well. I like everything about it. That last line in the ending (before the special chapters) was a nice, poetic touch: “to me, you are like ‘a thousand cranes’”. How brilliant of the author to tie in the title like that, so beautifully. Sigh. I could write a ten or so pages on the brilliance and magnificence of this story, but amma stop here (or maybe if I think of something else, I’ll add it in). Mangaka-san, good job. You are an amazing writer, keep up the good work~

Two words: frickin awesome. Damn. To think I found a non-trash isekai that’s actually worth reading. This is like the fifth or so one. Noice.

I was gonna give this to 5 stars but retracted it back to 4 stars after the first sex scene. Right after the freckin discovery (that akira was not mamoru). It would have been better to make this manga a bit longer instead of jumping straight to sex. Like, u just escaped from the illusion that he isn’t a brother but actually a stranger that’s been living with u this whole time, and ur going to suddenly kiss and have sex with him? Without any reservations? This would have been a heck of a lot better if that part was better paced. That’s the thing that almost ruined what was otherwise a masterpiece of a story. The dark emotions and deep trauma in this were really well portrayed. Even I shed some tears. Their characters and backgrounds were so well developed, and the story was just so very well written man. When kaoru finally accepted his brother’s death (particularly the scene where he put out the incense and pictures) I was so moved I even shed some tears bro. Plus seeing akira’s past and his shit mother hurt my kokoro. This story is amazing and well written in s many ways, that’s why I was so disappointed by that sudden sex scene that came out of nowhere. It’s like it was put there just for the sake of making this a yaoi manga instead of a shounen ai tragedy slice of life. It wouldn’t have been so out of place if it happened a few chapters later, after kaoru had a little more time to accept reality and who was in front of him (akira). Anyways, I’ll still give it 4 stars since it was such an amazing story.

Got damn that was so heartrending omg. The amount of tears I shed for this manwha. What a rollercoaster of emotion. This is probs the second time I’ve felt this way about a manga. Jihyun that guy. I felt real bad for him, yes. Especially so after he was jailed for a murder that he didn’t commit and nobody believed him. But he needs to take responsibility for his actions. The way he was so... desperate? Attached? To choowa (freck how come I forgot the ml’s name already???) and his facial expression of hurt and all that shit. Lawd man I really felt bad for the guy. I kinda just wanted him to be happy. But friend. How did you expect everything to work out if you didn’t change your ways? What you feel for him? Ofc, there’s some love in there, but this is called obsession. You can’t keep hurting him, isolating him, and doing bad shet to the ppl who approach him, and expect that everything will always turn out fine. He’s human too, he’s not always gonna forgive you. You can’t just take advantage of his kindness like that. And then you go ahead and rape him? Nah man that’s not how we do things around here. As much as I’d like to see a scenario where the two of you are happy together, if you started going out, there wouldn’t be a happy ending. That’s just a toxic and unhealthy relationship. Neither of you would be happy. He’d be scared of your ticking time bomb personality, anxious about when you’d next explode. You’d be forever displeased about him being close to anyone other than you, or him showing even the slightest sign of not paying attention to you. That’s not good for any of you bro. You had to have realized what you were doing wrong sooner or later. I wish jinhyun can find happiness, even after all he did. Hopefully he can find someone who loves him just as much as he loves them, and they can have a healthy relationship, with him turning over a new leaf. Thankfully, after he had that final talk with chiwoo, he finally realized his mistakes and repented. Truly heartrending, that last farewell was. But please, be happy. Hopefully you’ll be able to forget about our dearest chiwoo and move on. There’s just no way you two could be together after what you did. Still honestly, I wouldn’t have been happy either if jihyun got away scot free after what he did. What’s happening to him is redemption. I still hope he can be happy though. Just not with chiwoo. Anyways, I, glad kihwon (freck I forgot his name too lmaoo) was there for chiwoo, and helped him heal. He’s a better fit for our little Cinnabon. I’m just glad that chiwoo was also finally able to move on, even a little, and not have to live in the past, because of his trauma from jihyun. I just want everyone to be happy man T_T anyways. Masterpiece of a story. 100/10. Kept me hooked from start to finish. Now time to read part 2

One of my first isekai and to this day still the best one.

THIS IS SO MODAFUDGIN CUTE OML. Let my son be happy. He’s had enough grief in his past life. I just want to see him smile, be loved, and do what he desires in this second life he was given. Anyway this is right up there with the slime datta ken manga. Freckin awesome.

This was a good one. Cute relationship, sufficient, impeccable communication (even when fights because of misunderstandings happened, they resolved it immediately then and there by talking it through with each other. That was real nice to see.) I also love that their parents and even their friends accepted the two’s relationship, and joojin (forgot his name, but the seme)’s parents told seyun (uke) to move in with them so they can all live as a family. Quite beautiful. Plus, there was no big and unnecessary drama. When uke got in a problem, he took care of it himself, and beat up guys who tried to take advantage of him. Ooooh yes I love me some badass uke.

NOOOO GIVE ME MORE OF THIS CUTE BAKAPURU!! Gosh I was smiling the whole way through. This was a true embodiment of “fluff” with a lil smut on the side. They’re both so freckin cute. No unnecessary drama, proper communication, no doubts about the relationship, confidence they can work through their conflicts, and the way they just eased into their relationship. Even better that they were in love with each other from the start. Their whole relationship was just so pure. I had to linger on all the scenes just to take in all the sweetness (even the sex scenes, and I usually skim those). Beautiful. Just beautiful. 100/10 stars! I wouldn’t call this one a slow-burn, but it wasn’t a rushed relationship either. They just... idk how to say it better than they eased into it, with the right steps and everything. Everything was so smooth. Even the friends and that girl. It was nice to see them be so accepting of our kawaii bakapuru’s relationship~
