I thought this was pretty cute! It was funny how delulu the ML was (Rihito). For me, the art was what really made this manga. Everything was so pretty. Reminded me of a shoujo manga. I don’t think the initial misunderstanding ever got cleared up, though, which is why I feel a bit unsatisfied even after the ending of the first volume. Hopefully, its gets explored next volume!
Minami-kun Wants to be Teased by that Voice
surprisingly good! very erotic ofc. first off, there is CONSENT. i don’t know why that’s so hard to find these days. healthy exploration of kinks (*cough* the extra) the art is so friggin beautiful. their dynamic is fun. gloomy, introvert MC x popular, bright ML who can’t get off w/o his voice…. lmao anyway, the execution is great. i love how they equally desire the other. could’ve done without the cheap misunderstandings, but there are no pros w/o cons, i suppose. i liked the audio drama to this as well ^^
Meaning of his Gaze
Only crime was that this was too short! They were so cute. Unexpectedly, the black-haired guy turned out to be the bottom. I really need to stop assuming things. Blonde was kind of weird for not doing anything despite knowing the ML liked him if I had to nitpick! Happy ending rules tho. I liked the extras. Would have liked to see more established relationship fluff
Boku no Barber e Yokoso
the pacing was atrocious. but this was cute! i feel like it needed another chapter to really develop their relationship. to me, the whole getting-together part felt very rushed. had potential but poor execution
Scary And Tough Otoguro, In Love?!
there are extras right…. THERE ARE EXTRAS RIGHT??? the premise was rly good. three fans of the mc wanted to stop him from falling in love, which was funny. BUT what the heck was the last chapter, though? it felt rly odd and out of place with natsuki’s sister suddenly being brought into the mix idk. pages were wasted on her when we could’ve gotten an actual confession… the ending was fairly disappointing. all that buildup wasted. this needed better execution imo
Tonari no Banken
THEY’RE TOO CUTE! i needed more… they’re the epitome of the childhood friends pairing. i liked how kiyo was lowkey kind of obsessive (e.g. him putting a gps on hana). they both like each other so much!! i just needed to see more of hana with his long hair haha

I LOVE THIS!! they were so cute and funny. absolutely adored the established relationship fluff. i love how they author just took so many romance staples and broke them like… asahi (ML) knew that the girl azusa was with was his sister. his reactions to potential misunderstandings were so refreshing and very much of a green flag. enjoyed the comedy a lot. healthy relationship with good communication. the art was *delicious* one of the best of this genre out there
I Can't Believe I've Been Reincarnated and Fallen in Love with My Favorite Character of a Shoujo
too friggin short. the fl having second male lead syndrome is so real. they were so sweet; i need a slow burn ver!! i love plots like this. the mc “helps” the ml confess to the one who he supposedly likes, but he actually like him! art was super good as well
Sorekara, Kimi wo Kangaeru
I usually don’t like one shot anthologies, but this one was pretty good! The stories all kind of balanced each other. The first two were about a rather bittersweet, unfulfilled love, and the others felt a bit more hopeful in nature. I especially liked the third one! It was very fluffy, the one with the delinquent-looking guy and otaku. The second one was the weakest story-wise imo. The first and last ones were very atmospheric and felt realistic (in part due to the art). Good read.
