Run Way no Yukue wo Shiritaika
Falling Star
This was unironically so good? Something about the beautiful art and story combined… Impeccable really. MC is such a green flag, and I quite like his character. It was unique, yet real and fleshed out. I kind of agree with his thinking of locking up something in a photo, haha. AND THE ML. His character development is insane as well. His scars are beautiful, HE is gorgeous—just *chef’s kiss* I loved their dynamic. MC is puppy… Also loved the message of accepting another/feelings for who/what they truly are. But that’s life! Might re-read.
How to Use Scissors and You
I’m sorry to say… but this was a bunch of clichés wrapped in one. Reading the first chapter I could only sigh. Like the black mail / almost rape plot in the beginning. Then the ML spends a few chapters redeeming himself… The MC just falls in love with the ML without rhyme or reason… I really liked the career aspect of this manga (the hair styling/ modeling), but as a romance, it’s just mid. The characters lack depth, and story lacks originality in terms of progression. I’m unimpressed to say the least. Good art, though.
Tsuyoki Na Dotei Ha Etchi Ni Yowai
help i thought this would be rly weird and blackmai-y but it’s surprisingly cute?! like they’re honest abt there feelings for the other, and they both share the same passion for fashion. and i loved the art and the different faces he made for the mc, his lover.. story’s a bit rushed, but i liked it.
Model and Quiet Manager
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
Harenai Sekai de Kimi Dake Mieru
This author dropped yet another banger… I loved this! Loved the gorgeous art. I also liked the characters. The MC is asocial, sleep deprived, has trauma, but is also resilient. The ML is kind of like your typical ikemen, but he’s compassionate. What really drove me to this story was the portrayal of the MC’s trauma, which manifests as facial blindness. It’s very realistic and his journey in overcoming it is relatable and immersive. Can’t wait for volume 2!
