cmdrbanger's manga / #reencounter(21)

What a confusing story. I couldn't figure our what was going on half the time, like the pages were out of order?? But I think it just might've just been confusingly written.

Didn't I read this already? Can't remember the story, lol. - Well, I'm not sure if I did but it's a good one! 5* for basically everything. Art, smutty art, story, character growth, drama... It's all great! The only thing missing is a reunion/reconciliation with Hayashida's ex, and I'm not sure if that's supposed to be his high school friend from the first couple or not.

Short and sweet. The stuff about finding time to be alone and have sex was actually really cute and grounded, less tropey.

Cute with a supernatural twist. A little vague, but very wholesome!

Okay that was cute. Photographers saying "I love you" with a picture instead of words is a massive flavor win.

This was sweet! The relationship is so soft and fluffy and the extras really carry it in terms of being grounded in the reality of being a gay couple. I really like that Mashiro pushes for thr couples parfait AND that they're allowed to order it.

Cute! Almost no actual romance content, mostly focused on becoming friends and then catching feelings. No gay panic! A little lacking in resolution.

So straightforward! Uke knows what he wants and isn't afraid to take the lead to get it. Steamrolls stereotypes in order to have a funny romance that starts with lust and immediately catches feelings lol.

Skimmed. Art is fine, writing is shallow.

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.
