Review: Suzuki is best uke, and no one can tell me anything else. He’s expressive and lewd during ***, but he also has a calm composure that resembles a Beta’s. That’s what I like about him. He isn’t the second-hand embarrassment god, and this does well for my poor fangirl heart. The thing about me is that I literally get invested into everything I read (if it’s fiction of course). That’s why I squeal or have to pause reading to recollect myself when I read really touchy or embarrassing moments. Every time I get second-hand embarrassment, a little part of soul crumbles and dies. Welp. No use wallowing over what cannot be helped. Now let’s talk about the seme. The seme’s looks don’t necessarily fit my preferences, and by preferences, I mean that he isn’t all the pleasing to look at it. His personality is a bit . . . eh. You get what I mean?

Review: What’s up with these insanely popular mediocre BLs? I didn’t feel attached the characters at all. No backstory whatsoever, and Dobson was only in there to add conflict when there was a perfectly good point of conflict right there: the fracking app. For a second, I thought this was going to be a drama where Nohae tracks down the mastermind behind the operation and his reputation is in danger. Of course, that’s not what happened and a love angle happened. The nsfw is fine, but that’s pretty much all there is to it. It’s fluff, and if you’re into a story that’s not really a story, then this is for you. Also, I completely skipped the extras because I didn’t care for the side couple. I find it annoying how most side couples are portrayed in BLs.

Comment: I don’t usually read doujinshis, but this one just popped out of nowhere, so I read it. The art style isn’t one of my favorites, but I think it’s good overall. Also, the tongue kissing? Now, don’t take this the wrong way, I like BL, but that scene was-not.it.periodt. I like it, but I wouldn’t read again. I do like the ending, though. “But if I can walk by your side, the last day to come . . . That moment, I wish to face it with you.” End.

Comment: It’s short, but sweet. I think it was okay. Wouldn’t read again. I think this is the type of comic that lingers in the back of your head for the longest time and decides to resurface at random moments that leave you wondering where did I remember that from?

“Marie” is an incapable maid. The only thing good about her is her optimistic perspective on life. One day, her heart feels for a sick prisoner on the brink of death she was assigned to take care of. Marie decides to do her best to help him. He reminded her of her mother. Alone in the cell, she felt a pang. The thick walls coated in grime could not stop the shaft of moon’s light filtering in, casting a glow on their faces. “I want to pray one last time for you. Do you have a wish?” the prisoner asks. “Ummm. . .” Marie trails off thinking and finally comes to a conclusion. “I’ve always wanted to be a capable person,” she says. Marie starts listing all the things she would want to be capable of doing capably. The prisoner questions her motives. “If you had all of those abilities, what would you use it for?” Marie falters. “I would. . .” Marie hesitates to admit, “live a life I’ve always wanted.” The prisoner looks at her with a gaze that said everything at that moment. “If I can,” Marie continues, “I want to make everyone happy.” The prisoner closes his eyes, listening intently to her soul’s desire. “That is my wish.” Marie said. The prisoner opened his eyes again. He says, “God would like to make your wishes come true. Tell me your real name.” Panic struck her chest. Her real name? She thought she didn’t have any use for it anymore. It would be okay, right? Just this once. She probably wasn’t going to see him again anyway. . . Before she could stop herself, out tumbled the sound of the name that she had buried long ago. Afterwards, she heads to her quarters and falls asleep. When she opens her eyes, it seems that overnight, Marie had become the kind of person she had longed to be all her life. Marie has become a capable person! Side note: Left off on chapter 42.

Chapter 28.

What in the world is this?!! Have we switched bodies forever? That’s what Elise thought when she looked at her own self, not in a mirror, but her actual body with her own two eyes. You wouldn’t believe what she had thought when she looked in the mirror and found herself looking at her husband’s, Duke Jin Jo’s face. Review: Ah, yes. One of the most unbearable pains known to women. . . The menstrual cycle. I’m definitely rooting for the male love interest. He obviously cares for our protagonist. Plus, he understands a woman’s pain when she goes through that time. I like the plot and mystery surrounding their switching of bodies. I love how the artist shows that through their facial expressions. It’s always clear, and the artist certainly knows how to make their personalities shine. The art style is a win for me, and so is the storyline. I love reading fantasy comics in a more historical setting such as the time of the monarchy and the existence of nobles. I’ve already read plenty of comics surrounding that trope, but I can’t get enough of it. I look forward to seeing the future of this comic. Comment: Foreshadowing is ominous indeed. . . Also, unrequited love kind of sucks, but what irritates me is that sometimes, people drown themselves in their insecurities and blind themselves to the love that is right in front of them. That’s all. Side note: Caught up to chapter 71.

Ryouko Hayakawa, a hardcore otaku, was just about to have her thirty-sixth birthday before dying in a car accident. Or so she thought. She found herself to be reincarnated as the seventh prince, Herscherik! Herscherik finds himself in a fantasy world he could only imagine in his previous life! At the bright age of three, he realizes he must utilize the office work skills from his previous life to take action! Comment: It’s rather a shame that the artist quit working on this comic. I foresaw so much latent potential surrounding this comic. However, I understand where the artist is coming from. There might have been some personal interferences with this, and I understand that. I have experienced it firsthand how it feels to juggle writing a story and your life outside of that. I may not be the best person qualified to say this, but the author’s health comes first. That is what I am concerned about first. I sincerely hope the author recovers because they have created a piece that I won’t forget for sure. That is all I have to comment. p.s: and yes I know I ripped off my summary off of the other one, but I just couldn’t find any words to describe it. ( ͡°_ʖ ͡°)
