lilithespark's manga / #GL(123)

sigh wdym by fin???? HOW. wish there were more…. this was cute and all, but this was def more slice of life/comedy than a romance… all we got were crumbs *sob* I quite like the premise of a model and her manager. this def had more potential, which is why it’s a shame it ended the way it did

17 this is rly good! i like the dark tone. the art is excellent and gore-y. the story isn’t so much like AOT as it is a twisted isekai manga. i didn’t think there would be mecha in here as well…

The smut is good, but where’s the chemistry?? The tension? Such a boring read. It doesn’t help that the FL is kind of a weirdo, too… And the lack of clear consent is a problem.

I liked this! Very lovely romance with school life. I just think there should be more to the story. It would’ve been nice to see Ploy’s boyfriend dealt with AND JAILED for literally kidnapping someone… The author tried to play it off like it was just a silly mistake, but I’m not buying it. They also didn’t address Donut kissing Ice… Even if it happened during a fit of anger, it still should’ve been talked about more imo. Other than that, I appreciated the realism. Ranging from Mew’s non-accepting father to Donut’s open minded mother to Donut’s willingness to stay a couple and not let anything get in their way— everything was portrayed fairly realistically. Ploy was also a pretty nuanced character, not just Mew’s persistent ex. This is just a me problem, but I didn’t like entertaining the idea of Ploy x Ice…. Bleh

I didn’t like how the plot progressed at first, but it got better as the story went on I think. The way the conflict was resolved felt refreshing. The Sumika Sumika showed others was also a part of her, persona or not. So questioning the difference between the TV Sumika and her real self might not have mattered all that much. I liked the themes of teenage friendship/angst, and contrary to what others might think, I actually liked the romance! Sure, it wasn’t typical, and it didn’t exactly have a label, but I think these types of romance are quite underrated. Ito definitely grew as a character, from someone who’s bland to someone who actually takes initiative. I liked when the author was a little more subtle in the storytelling, too (e.g. them discreetly telling us that Sumika’s uncle is gay). Overall, this was an interesting manga exploring the idol fantasy.

It was cute! And really hot. I enjoyed the fluff. The author made the MC’s character progression very believable. She goes from a typical homophobe to a sweet girlfriend. Very entertaining read! I absolutely loved their dynamic. The FL seemed cold at first, but she was actually very sweet and liked the MC quite a lot on the inside.

Very funny and entertaining read! I liked the mundaneness of it all. Just them living their lives. Fuantei is such a relatable character with her asocial-ness, and Shikkari balances it out. Them both being otakus adds another layer of relatable comedy.

toxic but well-written “love” story. pinky is mentally unstable. they both feel trapped in their situations. i actually liked the open ending and the angst. perfect ending imo. the art is saur good

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

Really good! I thought it would just be about a hitman, but this slightly delves into a dystopian society. The MC didn’t choose her occupation really. Her identity as a refugee and her unfortunate situation is quite telling of the real world. I wouldn’t confine this manga merely to the genre GL. This is definitely a lot more than just romance (though I wanted more *sniffs*). It’s a comedy, thriller, romance, dystopia all wrapped into one. The themes of morality were also strong here. Despite this not being the longest manga, all the characters are quite nuanced from the MC to her girlfriend’s father, a priest, to the other two hitmen targeting the MC. I almost wish the ending wasn’t so open because I want to know what happens after the conflict is “resolved.” Anyway, awesome read! 11/10 If you haven’t read this yet, what are you doing…
