Ookami No Ketsuzoku
Non is my bae. Just wow, dude! He was really devoted since young. I really liked how he wanted so much to tuck Akkun in him to make him stop crying.. I also wanted how he was very proactive in pursuing him instead of just being pushed around. The 2nd story was complicated and heartbreaking. C'mon, realistically speaking, it sucks if a husband cheats on you like that. I get that their marriage wasn't going well but they chose to stay in it for their child and they didn't have enough motivation or reason to get out of it so they just put up with it.. So when Tsukamoto found that reason, he decided to get on with the divorce. It sucks because there's a child involved, but I think it's better to leave and make the child understand than to pretend and deceive so as not to look bad. I mean, as the child grows up, he/she'd see how f*cked up people are. So yeah, initially I'd be so mad at the uke, but after thinking about it more, I realized how he wasn't happy anymore and it was pretty much pointless to stay. It's like, instead of turning into a monster, he'd better be off somewhere else. Aaand anyway, regarding Sou-chan, hmm so he used to be an uke for Max.. I guess he's a seke but a total seme for Tsuka. I liked Tsuka's devotion though I shed tears for him and my heart really hurt during those times that Sou refused to acknowledge his feelings more seriously, afraid that he'd be abandoned again.. I mean hey, even Max who wanted to play him hurt so much for him. Gahhh. Really. Also, I like it when an ex who interferes the relationship turns out to aim for his ex's current partner instead of the guy he used to date. XD I mean, it helps in making them realize how they're taking their partner for granted.
Mukidashi no Koi
Reread: 02/04/17 Changing my rating from 4 to 5 stars. I guess I just read too many annoying manga that I'm appreciating this fluff better. I super like that there was no love triangle or cheating. The main hurdle was overcoming how people would see them, esp. Nonokawa. This is pretty basic for homosexuals in the society, so yeah. I liked that the seme was super devoted and the uke's really sexy and not too girly. I guess the 12 years thing kind of bothered me 'cos I think it's too much, but imagining myself in Nono's shoes, I guess he's right about his feelings just like that school -- it only submerged, not disappeared completely.. So when they met again, he could no longer contain these feelings. :)

start: 03/26/19 end: 03/27/19 Wish the thing about ch 6-7 was elaborated further 'cos it seemed kinda random how that "sci-fi-esque" situation came to be.. It was too rushed in the end.. Oh well, I still really liked it though!
Sayonara Alpha
start/fin: 04/24/19 I've been seeing this title whenever omegaverse recommendations are wanted.. I've been putting off reading it though 'cos omegaverse is kind of a guilty pleasure for me, but I have to be in the mood. I'm just annoyed whenever omegas are taken advantage of because they give off strong pheromones. Thankfully, the omega uke here is strong enough to fight off those who attempted to touch him even when he's vulnerable. I also liked that they waited until alpha seme (Haruka) got old enough before they do it further. Sure, it's kind disturbing to see omega uke (Chika) unable to control himself and kiss Haruka, who didn't even know what's going on. Fortunately, after that, Chika was even more cautious not to do much to Haruka. Anyway, I wish there were more chapters as to when they're finally together.. I would've loved to see Haruka in college, dealing with some bugs that wish to steal him away, and him being completely devoted to Chika regardless.
