cmdrbanger's manga / #Slice of Life(116)

Uhhh this ended so abruptly? It's what I wanted from the story (more domestic life) and even has a new side couple I'd love to read about, but it feels incomplete... There's another sequel, but it hasn't been translated yet. Hokuto's immaturity is especially cute here.

I haven't finished this yet but it is undeniably S-teir they love each other SO MUCH, from how affectionate they are to how the sex is drawn... I've never seen a BL manga so utterly divorced from all those tired tropes and formulas. I love it so much. And now that I'm finished, the rating stands. So good!

Huh, okay. A good oneshot that doesn't end with the narrator POV getting what he wants. I wish the story was longer and we got to see the relationship between him and the fairy develope.

Pretty standard stuff, cute and wholesome without (much) gay panic.

I guess it was fine... The romance was kind of off to the side and not really addressed in a satisfying way despite being the main focus, and the characters' personal conflicts weren't folded into the overall themes really at all. The chef characters troubles at school were completely glossed over, only shown once.

Huh! That ended up being unexpectedly wholesome. <3 I'm glad the drama and story development focused on permanent changes to their lives, like moving in together (and not getting a chance to move out) and Kentaro's genuine passion for acting. It was really nice that his agency and even the guy who was an acting rival (for like, one chapter, lol) were all on his side. And on Asakura's side, his coworkers were equally accepting and supportive. Again, that was really, really nice! I think the only reason it's only 4/5 is just the lack of JNSQ that would tip it over the edge. But all in all, very satisfying.

An OLD manga! (1996) Reads like shoujo. No gay panic sort of? Just glosses over the main characters with 'its only you I like'. Third wheel tries to assault MC for some reason, but get interrupted. Low stakes drama.

Fantastic art, sexy smut, and a great one shot! If it was longer I'd give it 5. Hideyoshico is also the artist of the good amnesia manga. (and the only artist in the same vein as Asumiko)
