otakulys's manga / #Cute(103)

Mostly confused by the fact that she's only ugly when she's making a weird face. Is her normal face supposed to be ugly? I don't get it. Is there something I'm missing? She looks just like the other girls. That aside, I like her personality, and I'm eager to keep reading this. I'm only on chapter two at the moment, though. More notes added later. ETA: Finsihed chapter nine, looking forward to more. The manga isn't without flaws, and I don't like how much everyone gets away with, being so cruel to Mihane. I really want Touma to stand up for her already. I know she's tough and doesn't need to be protected, but us tough girls need someone to stand up for us, too. Maybe I'm taking this a little too personally. XD Looking forward to more, regardless of my issues with it. ETA 2: Wait, why does it say it's complete now? It can't be! I'll cry! I hope there's more of these characters. I'm happy with how it turned out in the end, and this is a very unusual manga. I sure wish I could find more stories where the female lead is unattractive or overweight and stays that way through the whole story. I don't typically like shoujo, but I really loved this.

Very sweet, but the seme could be a bit of a jerk at times. I don't like it when a character is blamed for being victimized. At any rate, it was an otherwise touching story that made me cry. I'm glad there was a happy ending.

I love Kunieda Saika. It feels like there's no new stuff from her in years, so I hope that changes soon. This is a sweet, cute, and sad little oneshot.

Very cute little short. It isn't dark and depressing or heartbreaking like most of Harada's stuff, haha. It reminds me of when you fool around with your friends when you're younger, and I like that it didn't immediately turn into them both loving each other, like it really started as them just being horny kids. The fact that feelings developed later makes more sense than them secretly wanting each other all along. Either way, cute, but a little too short. ETA: I was excited for the continuation, but the dubcon nature of so many of her sex scenes bums me out a bit. I love Harada so much, but she has a clear kink for the seme hurting the uke and pressuring him during sex, then the uke is just like, "okay, cool," despite the fact that he was just crying and telling the seme to stop and saying it hurts. Annoying, but at least their relationship was sweet outside of that. I wonder if it'll continue, since that sad little end about them not being able to tell anyone about their relationship. I appreciate that both parties are clearly invested by the end, so it isn't just constantly one person pursuing and the other caving.

I like the mangaka, but this story was too abrupt and disjointed. Three stars just because the art is pretty. Her plots are very similar in every story so far, but whatever. I like her characters and designs.

Haha, aww, Harada's only healthy couple. XD Well, minus that one cute story with the boys who were into each other after high school or whatever. But I knew as soon as I realized who they were that it could only end one way. They're super kinky and adorable.

Aw, very sweet so far. His cute little face when he's so proud of that C because he knows he worked his hardest. I just want to squeeze him to death. Honestly, I'm pretty over the "girl I was in love with was actually a boy" thing, but I like the characters enough to see past that. They're both complex and original, which counters out the cliche a bit. I'm looking forward to the following chapters.

I'm so glad I'm finally reading this author. Who cares if I have to get up in seven hours to go to work? I'm gonna keep reading what I can get my hands on until I pass out. This was a very sweet and sad little story, but ultimately it was satisfying. I'd like to see Arthur, even after the mistakes he made, find a happy ending, too. I'm hoping there's a spin-off with him out there somewhere, other than the sad little oneshot about his doomed relationship with Renji. Anyway, beautiful all around. This mangaka has instantly shot up into my favorites list.

Awwww, too cute! I want more! I hope this gets picked up again so we can find out what happens. These two are adorable. I love a mean-looking character with a warm, squishy center. I just want to squeeze them both.

I really like this so far! Lovely art, likable characters, sweet plot. I would have given it five stars, but I thought it was going to avoid that super typical "one person really likes the other, but the other pretends to be straight for half the story," and I'm disappointed that it's fallen into that typical equation. Regardless, I look forward to seeing it from here on out, and I'll be glad when they just get past the stupid already and start dating. I hope that isn't too long from now. ETA: Aww, I wanna see more of that guy who kissed Qin Xiong! But there are so many passing characters who don't seem to actually have anything to do with the story that I won't hold my breath. It's a shame, though, cause he was hot, and I already wanted to know more about him just from that brief interaction.
