Koi ni mo Naranai.
Again with the cute shounen ai. So sweet and fluffy! I love the way some of the thought bubbles and water were drawn.
Saburina
Awkward shounen ai, cute but too short to really feel like it's properly explored. I ly read because its by Ougi Yuzuha.
Tonari no Otoko
Short and sweet, not weighed down by tired tropes. Nice art!
Ikemen no Senpai ga Jitsu wa Doutei de Junjou Deshita
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.
Kiss de Egaku Ittousei
Ehhhh I did not like the assault backstory. Even less the joking manner of the artist towards drawing that part. Ick. It feels wrong for it to be this cute and fluffy while also being so shallow about something so traumatizing.
Hana Tokidoki Kuma
Oh that was CUTE and the art is gorgeous and the way they naturally became friends--!! This is so good. Also the way they're both so normal (and inexperienced) at sex, it was oddly wholesome.
Mijukuna Papa wa Share House de Koi wo Shiru
Well dang, talk about being adorable and grounded and just a little bit heartwrenching. Kagino coming around to properly adopting Kai and accepting that he actually does want relationship with Natsume was super believable. I really liked it!
Link and Ring
This had all the important things in a lowkey and realistic scenario, no huge drama or conflict needed! Only complaint is being short.
Itoshii Hito (SAKU Minori)
This was so SO heartwarming. The genuine feeling of Homare struggling to feel accepted and the way he and Junpei fit together organically, it feels so natural. Admittedly the mother passing away was contrived, but it was as tastefully done as it could've been.
Eyes speak more love than the mouth
