Keep Us Together
Idc what everyone else says I actually really like this! The ML is a little possessive but the college setting and the overall fact he’s still young softens the blow a bit. Like the MC is his first crush, cut him some slack yk? Plus he genuinely cares for the MC. I feel he’s more like a tsundere more than anything else. I love the trope where the ML is head over heels and the MC is oblivious, so this is very much my cup of tea! I also like their dynamic sm like they’re alrdy so domestic without dating JUST FALL IN LOVE ALRDY 25

This was so GOOD. To quote the words of the author, this was definitely an “answer song” to the first volume of Doukyuusei. This definitely has a lot more drama… Their breakup felt slightly out of place like they had been together for so many years, and it happens just like that? It was like an emotional regression like another reader said, so that didn’t quite fit with the tone for the rest of the story. Still, I quite liked this! Their wedding was so BEAUTIFUL, and they’re so in love… ugh i love them!! This gave me a large sense of closure. One thing I’ve always loved about this series is the mature tone and how realistic it feels. Like the whole ordeal with Sajo’s father initially not supporting him… Tears. It certainly lives up to the past volumes!
What I Can’t Tell You
The first four chapters were top tier… I’ll always the childhood friends to lovers trope. I thought this was really cute! It’s kinda refreshing that none of the leads see bottoming as some sort of degrading thing. Actually they both like it a lot! Which is so nice because I’m so used to seeing “tops” fight over who gets to have the “man’s role” or whatever (which is bogus). I feel like vers couples in gay romance should be way more popular. I liked that the leads are pretty honest with each other about their feelings. The angst is short lived, making this a short, light read. BUT WHAT THE HELL WAS THE LAST CHAPTER… selfcest *sobs* 5
Formless
48 This is definition of a toxic relationship… The ML can’t stand not being in control of their relationship and whenever the MC does something he deems is “wrong,” he punishes the MC. He controls the MC’s every move, and the MC can’t really do anything because he’s being threatened. The ML is super abusive. I’m interestingggg how things will unfold, though, so ig I will keep reading? The art is good at least

Aesthetics of Unpleasantness
37 interesting themes. desire, possessiveness….i always find it intriguing how an author handles the alpha x alpha relationship, and it seems like in this universe, it’s still about domination, aggression, etc.

Yk the premise is a little weird, but this turned out to be really funny and cute! Short but sweet. It obviously dips its toe into the absurd, but it adds to the comedy mainly.
