otakulys's manga / #Sweet(110)

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.

I'm always so sad for Bun. I hope eventually he gets a happy ending. Daisuke is so hot, but he's such an asshole. I'm torn between wanting them together despite that and wanting Daisuke to get dumped by Bun and his wife and both of them ending up with guys who treat them well. Or, even better, he stops with the lies and they just have an open, three-way monogamous relationship. I wish more stories like this ended that way.

As usual, Miyamoto Kano's stories are kind of heartbreaking. I'm still rooting for Bun's happiness, regardless of what that means. I'm bitter about Daisuke, but it would kind of be nice if they ended up together, just because Bun loves him so much. But Daisuke would have to clean up his act first. That jerk. I feel bad for Satorou, though. He's so sweet, and Bun would have been better off with him. Hopefully Satorou finds happiness, too, though I doubt we'll ever find out for sure.

Miyamoto's work is so often sweet and sad, definitely a trademark of hers. This is no different. Poor little Sakai. I wish we could learn what happened to him, but I'm sure he found a hot boyfriend eventually and lived happily ever after.

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 sweet, pretty art (though not perfect, which is fine!), but the endless misunderstandings always kinda rub me the wrong way. I like where it went, though, and I love that the one character was actually gay from the start, like it wasn't a huge surprise for him, and it wasn't one of those "it's okay if it's you" BS moments. I wish more yaoi would experiment with that, what it's like to be young and realize you don't like girls the way that the other boys do. Anyway, I love this story so far, so I hope whatever follows is sweet, too.
