Mayonaka Love Alliance

Ongoing | MICHINOKU Atami | 2016 released

Aww, this is nice. As usual, wish there was more of *something*, in this case Tenma and Yoshio since they're the oldest couple and have the least content. But it's nice to see the main two getting along with their relationships even through problems. Hmm... Not very well translated, but it does seem like there's more chapters about Tenma and Mama.

Ichika, bachika

Complete | Shikke | 2019 released

Definitely read already but didn't rate. I'm guessing from the tropes and author it's in the 3-4 range. Re-read, yeah I was about right. It's a little more forceful than Pink Jam, and I kinda wish the background couple got their own chapter, but it's pretty good.

Awkward shounen ai, cute but too short to really feel like it's properly explored. I ly read because its by Ougi Yuzuha.

Ikemen no Senpai ga Jitsu wa Doutei de Junjou Deshita

Complete | NOBANA Saori | 2015 released

Aside from thr super awkward translation with scanlator memes, this was just okay. Felt super rushed even with the relationship established before the book starts.

Spicy & Sugary

Complete | Akira Norikazu | 2000 released

Meh, unsprisingly Nagai was attractive enough to get a spinoff, but the story and couple weren't as compelling as Beast & Feast. Second story was also meh.

Hana Ni Kuchizuke

Complete | abe akane | 2015 released

This is hilariously unromanticized and I think I love it. Only 4* because it's not 'timeless classic' level.

Dekiai Nante Mitomemasen!

Ongoing | Suzaka shina | 2019 released

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.

Ore no Itoshi no Neet-kun

Complete | SUZAKA Shina | 2016 released

Same setting as the X Nante ~masen stories! Chiaki ends up being coworkers with American Model John Clifford. Actually liked the second story (oneshot) better. Very cute and wholesome, wish there was more or them!

Seto No Omise No Okyakusama

Complete | mita homuro | 2000 released

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.

Himitsu no Love Sensation

Complete | Matsuyoshi Aco | 2000 released

Meh, so much comedy without much emotional heart. Not none, but not a lot. The characters are so willfully ignorant and then they just conveniently goes with the flow.
