It Was Just a Contract Marriage

The plot is very frustrating to read. The FL is extremely passive, and it feels as though the story is just things that HAPPEN to her, not the FL actually living her life. Another thing that gets me going is the ML’s possessiveness of the FL. That’s not love? I get he’s a dragon and all, but he’s still a man… The whole plot with the FL’s brother being alive too… It feels like I’m being strung along. The plot drags too much. There’s no question that the art is absolutely gorgeous, but I hope the story becomes less frustrating… because it’s frustrating in a not-so enjoyable way. 49

Ao no Flag

Complete | Kaito | 2000 released

am at a loss for words… This is definitely a love triangle romance, but I actually loved this? Which is kind of ironic because I tend to stay away from stuff like that. I really liked how this manga touches on the struggles of people who aren’t “normal” in society, but what even is normal? This really explores the struggles of youth and their struggles towards the future, young love, women and sexism, queerness, toxic masculinity, etc. The storytelling is great, full of complexities and nuances. All the characters have their own perspectives on things, and it feels so realistic that way. I love how they communicate honestly, and it makes everything so raw and refreshing. This is such an EXPERIENCE, and the art is lovely— and I just have so much praise for this. I would say this is kind of lacking in the romance department, but you could also say this is more school life/slice of life.

Run Away With Me, Girl

Complete | Battan | 2019 released

Finally not a tragic yuri… but still pretty angsty, though. I really loved this! It really showcases the very real struggles of lesbianism, having to deal with heteronormativity, homophobia, misogyny, etc. I thought it was quite refreshing that the FL is pregnant, but it’s not seen as something to be ashamed of. The storytelling is so beautiful and realistic, and even the FL’s abusive husband has trauma like he isn’t just some one dimensional bad man interfering with their relationship (though he’s still a jerk)

Itsuka koi ni naru made

Complete | KURAHASHI Tomo | 2017 released

Felt mostly like I was reading about horny teenagers, which the leads are. Once you get past that, it’s not horrible. I really love the childhood friends to lovers trope, so this is ofc right up my alley. Along with the puppy love fluff, I also appreciated the realism surrounding their relationship, how they should navigate life together, and so on. It’s a typical coming of age story, but it’s executed fairly well. Good read. And the art is so gorgeous!

The 8th Failed Love

Ongoing | Sondo | 2023 released

10.3 Breaking up 8 times is crazy no matter how you put it. The miscommunication is so baddd here. And it’s not even justified with a good reason. But I do like the leads’ dynamic puppy dog x cool, older guy. plus, the art’s pretty good. this is an alright read.

The Trapped Beast

Ongoing | Yi kai | 2022 released

44 I like this author! Good political drama. Actual enemies to lovers. The romance is pretty frustrating, but the war/politics side of this is interesting

I Simply Cared For My Frail Dad

Ongoing | | 2022 released

25 I’m actually pretty invested. The MC’s father is pathetic, but the rest of the story is pretty interesting. The MC makes contracts with spirits, has memories of her past life, and so on

Cycling Hit

Ongoing | Saga | 2022 released

Gosh this is really good! It’s slow paced (the romance), but the slow burn actually feels rewarding. I also love the effort that goes into the baseball elements. As a die hard fan of sports manga, this satisfies my itch for that and also a sports-based BL. The two elements are perfectly balanced, and the character growth is so well written!
