Sense of Loyalty

Complete | matsumoto yoh | 2000 released

Still not enough. They oneshots are just little snippets, sadly. But it's nice to at least have this much, since they didn't get a lot of time in the main story. None of these answers any of the questions I've had from the start, though. Why did the mother leave? What happened to her? Why didn't they just come and take Yuki from the start? Why did they order the seme to kill chimera children if they actually support chimera children? Like what am I missing here? If it weren't for that stuff, the main manga would be near perfect. I still love it though, and I wish there were more.

Bena

Ongoing | Kofude | 2018 released

Hmm... Kind of weird and rushed, but it has potential. I'll raise the stars based on how the next parts unfold. Seems like pretty sad circumstances, but I'm a little confused as to what happened at the end of the first chapter. Maybe chapter two will help.

Natsujikan

Complete | Kunieda Saika | 2000 released

One of my favorite authors, but this collection never gets less depressing. I miss when there was tons of new stuff from her, but honestly, most of it does fall either on the crack comedy side or the heartbreaking side. The times when it's in between are few. But when it works, it really works.

A Dead Crow's Stare Webtoon

Complete | N.bob | 2019 released

Only like six chapters, and it said somewhere that the original may have been discontinued. That would really suck, since this is very different and interesting. We don't get a lot of BL with action. The most recent release was very poorly translated to the point of not even making sense, and I feel bad for being frustrated by that, because I know the ones who did it are doing so for free. I just wish I could enjoy it a little more, given how action-packed it was. I hope it gets updated soon. I would be so bummed if this story were dropped completely.

Gap

Complete | RIO | 2000 released

Is that really the end? Such a sad conclusion! I hope he finds a way to prevent it. That guy is his only friend. Anyway, the first story was very creepy. It actually made me shudder. The second story was really interesting! I would love to see more like it. Sad that it's so short. I really like the concept.

Crow's Library of Danmei

Ongoing | Crow | 2016 released

It's a shame that it's only three chapters and looks to have been dropped. Hopefully someone else picks it up someday. It's an interesting concept, though stressful since it's hard to say how it'll end. I hope it isn't some sort of punishment for the uke. That would be pretty fucked up.

Yagiza no Yuujin

Complete | otsuichi,miyokawa masaru | 2000 released

Wow. This was really beautiful and sad, and I loved it. I really love a focus on male/male friendship, too. It's so rare to see. Even with the lingering hints of feelings one of them had for the girl, that was never the focus, so it didn't take away from the power of the story. The cat stuff--NO. Fucking hell. I hated it so much. I wish I could erase that from my mind. I know it's only pretend, but it was so drawn out and awful, and one of my cats looks like that cat, so even worse. But other than that, this was a really good manga. I wish that scene would exit my brain, but I'm glad I read the story. I do wish that there'd been more emphasis on the healing of the survivors, especially someone who's been so brutally bullied and mistreated for so long, but at least he said that sweet thing at the end about how he feels hopeful being with the other boy. Very sad but a very good story.

Madou no Keifu

Ongoing | satou sakura,inuzuka hiro | 2019 released

Ooh, I really like this so far! I hope it updates soon! I just love platonic relationships that are built on deep love and respect. (I mean, I assume, since he's a little boy.) It's so rare to not see a female love interest shoved in to stuff like this. Not everything is about romance.

The Story of The Princess and The Little Mermaid

Complete | murasakino | 2000 released

Well that was a bummer. Too short to really suck you in, but the last line was still kind of a gut punch.

My Childhood Friend Was a God

Complete | Ruru (menten watagashi) | 2019 released

Definitely heartbreaking but not hopeless. He's always with him, and one day he'll die too, and maybe they'll be together. There must be a special ending for a person made exclusively for that god, so I imagine they'll be with each other after death. It definitely made me cry, though. Loving someone who you know will be gone soon is a painful thing. The comments made it sound like the story was way more dark and depressing than it was, though. It was sad and hurt, but I think eventually he'll go on to have a normal life and know that his best friend and first love is watching out for him.
