cmdrbanger's manga / #Beautiful Art(210)

Kimiiro Eden

Complete | Aomoto Sari | 2000 released

Hmm... Even though this has some unique aspects (seme has gay parents, uke knew he was gay and tried to ignore it but doesn't deny it to himself) it's largely just *okay*. I could see 3.5 on the basis of the story being sensitive and mature.

Mahoutsukai wa furete tokeru

Complete | hoshikura zozo | 2019 released

Well that was super sweet! I've never seen an uke kiss the seme so sweetly as Liz did in the last chapter! The setup is thoughtful but I wish there was more to the magic and school life, like a longer series would have. (a sign to read Witch Hat lol) Only reason I'm marking it 4/5.

Oredakeno Senzoku Alpha

Ongoing | Zozo Hoshikura | 2000 released

Meh. Has nice relationship development, but a tropey assault backstory for the omega, and continues with more drama in the second part (ch 7-) with the son of the abusive alpha from the past. Won't be continuing.

I'm Banging My Rival From A Parallel World!?

Ongoing | Yodogawa Yuo | 2000 released

+1 for the unusual isekai angle, -1 for the aggressive chubby chaser. (It's not funny.)

Satori-kun to Tsundere-kun

Ongoing | yodogawa yuo | 2019 released

This is so good!!! This author lives to our supernatural elements in modern settings (self declared). And they're great at it!! Hilariously, they also speedrun their couples to having sex in ch1 almost 100% of the time. But they always have a reason for it, however contrived. Their writing just happens to click with me, and that's pretty fantastic.

Chiguhagu Love Sick

Complete | Wai (ワヰ) | 2019 released

Honestly, kinda one note? Solid student/porn star and student/teacher stories, with interesting details like the first student being a beef cake uke, and the second student topping the teacher. Aside from that...eh.

Oonoshouta 18 sai Honjitsu Kareshi ga Dekimashita

Complete | Wai (ワヰ) | 2019 released

Much more interesting than their other manga! This one balances the relationship and character development more effectively, is still super horny, but doesn't have to circumvent the taboo age gap issues.

Owaranai Yujou to Katakoi-ron

Complete | Miwa | 2019 released

This is fantastic! A friends to lovers story where the label is less important than the actions. Doesn't waste (much) time backtracking either. Character's actions are allowed to speak for themselves, instead of being willfully misinterpreted (or not interpreted at all). I love this, wish it was longer!

Takara no Biidoro

Complete | Suzumaru minta | 2019 released

THIS IS SO CUUUUUTE. Very wholesome college relationship about two people catching feelings and then catching even MORE feelings while going out. I especially like what Takara says about allowing feelings to grow after starting a relationship. So mature and thoughtful.

Skimmed. Art is fine, writing is shallow.
