cmdrbanger's manga / #Beautiful Art(210)

Tsundere uke, skimmed chs 1 & 2

Spin off to Nirameba Koi!

This was cute! Delinquent friends to lovers with some self-sacrificing resistence along the way. The translation made me want to redo all of it though.

A happy ending! So dramatic, and has some typical DJ formatting - atmospheric text over lots of white space. I liked it! It's very sweet how they re-connect in the end.

Eh... Could've just used their words and avoided the mild assault due to the seme misunderstanding. That's never an excuse to use sex to take out their anger. It's fiction though, so all's well that ends well, just sours the experience and is less rereadable.

I thought it was a joke from the list comment that the top is autistic, but no he literally is! Interesting wrinkle to a short, cute story. The two extras getting together in thr afterword was also hilarious.

I wonder how this is gonna go - someone's gonna catch feelings eventually. Hopefully it won't be drawn out - that doesn't seem like this mangaka's style. And then it just ends! Happily, but still. A little too quickly for my taste, it feels so rushed!

One shots and 2-3 ch mini stories. The one shots were better than the last one, which never quite landed for me. It has the lightest of dubcon (the 'what have I done' trope) and the receiving character is bafflingly dense when it comes to sharing feelings, and this is never explained or justified. The others were fine. The art is very nice! Unique style of expressions, and inclusion of comedy.

Omegaberse with an extra supernatural twist. I liked it! I also liked Makise's emphasis on *not* being Junta's teacher anymore. Please de-emphasize that, yes. Hopefully I'll get to read the sequel one day, and Kaname's story will be told. I'm still iffy in whether Makise's is really a beta or not. Typically it just turns out they're a late bloomer, but if he really IS a beta, there better not be any 'fated pair' love triangle BS. Anyway, I liked this a lot!
