Hadaka yori mo Oku Fukaku
this wasn’t my most favorite of the author's work. i couldn’t feel their emotions much and it felt unnatural. i felt the uke was rude to the seme but he admitted his wrongdoings. him being hesitant to face his own emotions and discussing it with the seme was an important part of the story. it does upset me that the seme slept with other people but he wasn’t in the wrong, the uke told him to and suggested there was no future for them. i was happy that when the uke discovered the seme did sleep with other people he didn’t blow it out of proportion. overall the manga was good, it shows some difficulties homosexuals face in the real world. something as simply as holding hands can feel shameful. in the end, i rated it 4 stars because it felt like something was missing to me.
Love Awakening x Syndrome
i laughed way more than I expected to. this story was way too cute and I feel extra single and I don’t like that. usually, student x teacher can be kinda weird but this one was perfect. plus it wasn’t one of his actual teachers so it’s not like he’s getting extra credit ;) this manga felt natural and why is the uke so innocent and funny. his pureness was so attentive. the seme was hella hot. plus the uploaded said they would do the first story which is of the childhood friend. ahhh this was too entertaining
Love So Pure
i’m loving this already second couple for the win, they are just way too adorable
Fukigen na Kimi to Kimagure na Kiss
this was great. I thought it was funny. I love how much the seme was all over the mc but he never thought he liked him. if the seme was upfront from the beginning this wouldn’t be but one chapter long so I can see why the lack of communication is important. anyways this was good and I liked the development. I also enjoy how both stories have both couples that appear in them.
Our Companionship
I think it was good it wasn’t perfect of course. it started well and then there was an unexpected bumpy road. I enjoyed their story. I didn’t like how the best friend was controlling and manipulative and that was never talked about. i do like how the mc had many realizations but if i were him I would’ve let it all out but he was right for choosing to keep their friendship since his best friend didn’t know. but I think he knew and knowingly took advantage of the cute mc. their friendship is kinda dark and I think there was way more baggage to be discussed. the story was great until the author had the almost rape scene, it was unnecessary and lead to a forced confession. i hate how authors think rape is the only way a seme can express his built of emotions. also, I like that they gave him a POV since we could see more of his thoughts and story but I didn’t like how long it was, i found it distracting from the build-up. i know they aren’t perfect and over time I imagine that they would be more open about their lives. the art was great and I loved the semes body, as long as they are happy and healthy I have no big complaints. also I enjoy how there are sexy scenes but I would’ve preferred it be fully shounen ai, the clouds were too much for me.
Don't forget that I like you
it was good. I liked the art style and the plot was simple and cute. I liked how there wasn’t much drama and how everyone got a happy ending. crazy the second couple could’ve been together for years and all it took was two chapters. I liked the first couple more I liked seeing more depth and their development. i’m happy that girl gave up and didn’t put them or make a scene. a short fluffy story.
Link and Ring
this made me happy. no unnecessary angst. no force. great communication when feeling uneasy. a relationship with equal partners. their love for each other and so much more made their story special.
Page o Mekuru Sono Mae ni
sex buddies (also author x fan) this was a good story and plot. I liked the main characters. hated the stalker ex - very happy that was taken care of. what a plot twist that mama was a layer. the semes ex who was tricked, I was happy there was no unnecessary drama with them. the seme hates bisexuals and that makes sense because of all that crap with his ex but at the same time, the author adding that was unnecessary. lgbtq+ can be some of the most unaccepting people (personal experience). anyways happy all worked out and everything came to light. my favorite part was when they had sex and the bottom had the pillow and the seme was using his own arm, that was romantic to me. now time for bed.
Introduction to the Theory of Love
the potential!! why so short. the ones I enjoy are always too short or too long.
