The Man in the Mirror

Complete | Yukibayashi,Hisamatsu Eight | 2000 released

Well that was a surprisingly cute twist! The mirror just leads to another country, not another world. I really like how the romance develops too! It's a natural extension of them getting to know each other. But it's so short!!

As doujinshi for a couple and series I don't actually watch goes, pretty good! I like the resolution that Gintoki tells them about the relationship in the end. Puts a nice bow on the drama.

Ikenai Hinata-kun

Complete | Wata rainy | 2019 released

Cute and short, with a vary respectful top, which is (unfortunately) refreshing. Not much actual story to get into though.

Garakuta no Ai wo Hitobannjuu

Complete | Sagano | 2019 released

This. Is. The best! What an oddball romantic manga. Very realistic and grounded in certain ways. Kanii being a deadpan comedian behind his serious work persona is such a Japanese trope. It's like Gintama or something. The relationship was also really grounded without annoying cliches. The fact that they seriously roleplay in the last chapter feels so honest (and hot tbh). Straight to the favorites!

Ikisugi Friendship

Complete | Sagano | 2019 released

This doesn't feel kind bl in the typical sense, more like ground in reality manga about gay couples. (Seeing them use pillows during sex is so real lmao!)definitely my new fav author.

Super Darling is Dead

Complete | sagano | 2019 released

Another good one from Sagano! The scene with the conversation about 'reasons to have sex' was pretty nature and grounded. I really like that. Characters act like real humans in these stores.

Bokura wa Mada Hyougaki no Tochuu

Complete | Yuuki hinase | 2019 released

Meh. The first couple's age gap is nearly too much (ten years, younger is 18) and both couples have feature boring smiley cutesy women. Actually SKIPPED the soft, sparkly sex scenes, they're so boring and all the same in these.

Soshite Boku wa Koi wo Shiru

Complete | Tokita honoji | 2019 released

The 'I just can't wait' attitude for the sex was lame, but other than that it was really cute! I do wish they'd filled in Akira's side of things more, even if it was just generic romantic exposition conversations to get to the same end. Would've made the gap moe of Akira being the bottom more impactful. And Shogo is just kind of there! He has a friend, but what about his family?? Basically it's cute, but lacking in depth.

3 stars for the story being too short, 4 stars for the art and the story having more depth than expected!

Short but decent. The supernatural element makes up for the simple plot.
