This was surprisingly wholesome and satisfying! Akira gets out of his abusive and self-destructive agency, gets to be the person he wants to be with Yuma, and Yuma is refreshingly honest about his feelings for Akira even before he 'changes' himself for the better. I really like it! The only reason is 4* instead of 5 is that I just wish there was more, of course.

Meh, I probably won't read more of this series anytime soon. It's fine but the art isn't totally my taste, and it jumps couples a lot to rehash familiar tropes. The age gap couple (32/college freshman) was especially meh, not a fan of that dynamic or the way the younger guy was drawn.

Run Way no Yukue wo Shiritaika

Complete | Hisamatsu eight | 2019 released

This was pretty good, of kinda short and disorganized. Their first time sleeping together was uniquely sweet and grounded as well, beautifully drawn just as the rest of the story.

Shouta, Kimi wo Aishiteru

Complete | Nitako | 2019 released

This is great! Three couples, American Actor/College Student, former delinquent/his kohai with a crush, coworker/coworker (+ gap moe top). Really like the sex-positive and lacking in clichéd BL tropes they are. Kazuki/Teppei is probably my favorite couple in terms of cuteness.

Koitomo Triangle

Complete | ikuyasu | 2016 released

Yay, another poly manga! I like it, even if it leaves things somewhat unresolved as to what their stable relationship dynamic is. But I get the feeling they're staying together, the three of them. The pole dancer chapter was whatever, just an extra smutty one shot.

Kimochiii tte Nihongo de Nante iuno

Complete | Yuiko | 2019 released

This is cute but so short!! The drama has to be super compressed. Apparently there are actually 6 chapters...

Cinderella Plot

Kinda boring? Just didn't strongly explore any of its themes or subplots. I can't really complain about the love triangle never fully manifesting, but I wish the rest had more depth. It seemed there was more potential for Azuma's awkwardness and Ao's growing confidence to bring them together honestly and with some more cute domesticity.
