Can Someone Like Me Move In?

Complete | Guchil | 2019 released

Help this was a funny read. The MC was so naive that it amused me. The ML wasn’t that slick with hiding his obsession… The art was kind of weird? I don’t know if it was the anatomy or if the drawings were warped, but it just looked weird. The ending left me with a creepy aftertaste, but I suppose that was the point. Interesting read, though I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

WEAKNESS

Ongoing | Bbtan | 2019 released

Yet another toxic GL from this series. Is it bad? I guess it depends on your taste and morals. This includes coerced sex and blackmail. In the end, the leads sink into depravity together. The pseudo-incest was meh. Maybe it was the translation, but it fell flat for me even with the dark themes. Great art and smut tho 2.5/5

Houkago no Etude

Ongoing | HIRUNE Cyan | 2020 released

This manga is so freaking good… The leads are so cute together; I love their dynamic sm. The height difference? The flirting?? Gimme more pls!! The ballet aspect is really well done (the art is so *beautiful*). Almost reminds me of some sports dancing manga like ‘Welcome to the Ballroom’ and ‘Ten Dance.’ I wish hell upon the freaking p3dophile teacher guy. I hope the author addresses the grooming properly because that’s a black stain on a manga I otherwise really like. Anyway, I love the leads’ passion for dancing and the themes of youth/growth/chasing after your goal.

Meruhen na Otoko tachi

Ongoing | Itsuki Makoto | 2000 released

Ahhh this was so cute! The premise was funny (met on a dating app, accidentally lied about gender), but they sorted it out. The ML was indeed sus at first, but I’m glad this didn’t turn into dub con. I found the angst to be quite realistic. The MC was hurt, but he hid it because he wanted their relationship to continue. *sobs* Anyway, the art was saur good. Loved the communication (aside from the misunderstanding). This manga subtlety broke a lot of conventional BL tropes (the ML was the little spoon like whatttt). Good read! Glad they’re happy

Mamotte Agetai Sawatari-san

Complete | Nanatsuno wataru | 2022 released

This manga is literally so funny. I love how their dynamic even before getting into a relationship was quite close? Bordering on queer platonic, but you can feel the tension so palpably! I am simply a whore for this kind of stuff. anyway, this was such a funny read? loved their dynamic and their circle of friends! the angst didn’t really angst, but i didn’t mind tbh. so fluffy. i can never get enough of the unlucky x lucky trope. don’t have anything bad to say about this really. i enjoyed this sm ^^

Two Hot Bachelors

Ongoing | Ruri fujikawa | 2019 released

Actually wayy better than I expected. In the first story, I just couldn’t bring myself to like the ML… his experience with loss was very relatable tho. and his dark circles were hot. i don’t think the chemistry was there tbh… sure, there was attraction but idk. i desperately need the second volume to see more of their couple dynamic because the silly misunderstandings were not it for me… very sexy though. almost too much sexy. second couple was meh. not my cup of tea for now

Milady Just Wants to Relax

Ongoing | mochizuki beni,kajiyama mika | 2000 released

This is furry propaganda. Jk jk. They were not kidding about the reverse harem tag in this one. Literally everyone in the story likes the MC. It’s the same cliché plot where the MC undervalues herself and actually has quite a lot of merit. I want to love this, but her age really puts me off. Wdym she’s 16 and one of the potential MLs is 24??! Barf. Everyone except the MC is so annoying. The characters are all kind of flat… no growth happening. If you don’t mind that, this is a pleasant, fluffy read.

A Deal With My Fake Husband

Ongoing | Leeinhye,Unicorn | 2022 released

cliché premise, but i love the ml here. he’s goofy AND hot. it’s refreshing how even tho they’re a contract couple, they don’t act overly stringent. a nice twist on a familiar plot 30

He’s Not Just a Pretty Face

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Okay, whoever dropped this because of the “bad” art… I feel bad for you because it really wasn’t that bad? The characters just had realistic proportions. Plus, the recent chapters look so good! If you’re feeling hesitant to read this because of the art, please don’t. Anyway, this story is definitely frustrating at times with the MC’s indecisive character (and the leads getting interrupted at pivotal moments), but I’d say this story’s redeeming quality is the ML and the other supporting characters. The ML is SO freaking refreshing. He’s not afraid to admit he’s done wrong, he doesn’t let the MC go, and he’s so, so honest. The drama is kinda cliché at times, but again, the supporting characters make up for it. Characters I thought were potential love rivals actually (crown prince and hyme) aren’t but still support the MC and her own romance. The storytelling has above average execution! The leads are so cute; they’re head over heels for each other.
