lilithespark's manga / #Student x Student(479)

This manga is so freaking good… The leads are so cute together; I love their dynamic sm. The height difference? The flirting?? Gimme more pls!! The ballet aspect is really well done (the art is so *beautiful*). Almost reminds me of some sports dancing manga like ‘Welcome to the Ballroom’ and ‘Ten Dance.’ I wish hell upon the freaking p3dophile teacher guy. I hope the author addresses the grooming properly because that’s a black stain on a manga I otherwise really like. Anyway, I love the leads’ passion for dancing and the themes of youth/growth/chasing after your goal.

I came for the cover (Arun is so fracking hawt), but the first couple wasn’t that bad! I liked how it was actually mutual love all along, and it showed us their relationship as adults. Very wholesome and sweet. Also realistic! I appreciated how the author included their fears of being rejected as a gay couple. Kiichi’s brother’s love story was also pretty sweet. Loved their dynamic. Anyway, this taught me I need more Indian rep in BL!

omg this looks rly good alrdy… plus the ml is so hawt??? Update: Wow, that was actually so fluffy??? The healthiness?? THE COMMUNICATION?? The consent?? Literally S-tier. Short, sweet, and smutty. I just wonder whatever happened to the ML’s kinks?? Like, we know he’s a masochistic top but other than that one scene we don’t see too much of it… Idk if they’re completely vanilla in the end or what. Surprisingly great read.

This is like the plot of sm other BLs I’ve read, but I eat it up every time! It’s cliché, but cute. Classic miscommunication trope. The art is pretty good. Decent and pleasant read. Sometimes, there has to be stories like these. Especially with CONSENT and a healthy relationship. One thing this story did particularly was the leads’ transition from students to working adults. Pretty relatable but also adding that sense of realism 9

this was weirdly intriguing. the pacing was a little off, but i liked the vibes of this. the story had this strange, mature feeling to it. idk why but it reminded me of chainsaw man lol. especially the denji-looking ahh protagonist… anyway, the art was gorgeous, but the characters ultimately fell flat. what was the point of the cam girl storyline? this needed more development, which is a same because there definitely was potential

Bro what was that ending… This is a really cute manga, but all the buildup felt a little wasted. I was waiting for a heart wrenching confession lol. Aside from that, this is just your typical story. You have the playboy MC’s (top) side story. The ML almost gets raped, and the MC saves him yada yada. This is just a really bland and boring read. The premise itself isn’t bad, but the execution isn’t anything special. 6

This was cute! You know, they almost let each other slip away in their dumb youth. But Chitose takes the chance to reconnect with each other despite all misgivings…. Found that pretty relatable. Anyway, wholesome manga! They’re such awkward idiots, but I love them for that.

This volume really delivered with the fluff and picturesque future for the main characters. So cute! I did enjoy this. That aside, I also have to say this volume disappointed me. Most of the story is just side couple mumbo jumbo. A side character is introduced to cause strife for the main couple, but oh wait, he’s just a set-up for another side couple. I wanted more adulting, youth, growth… But there was only a very small portion of that. The rest of the manga is just sex, sex, and more sex. Then, a magical time skip, and wow, pregnancy! I wish the mangaka had stuck to just one theme. It feels like they tried to cram too much into this one volume. This story isn’t meant to be that deep, but still… It’s a bit sad that I couldn’t engage with this on a deeper level. This is a bit of a personal qualm, but I just cannot wrap my head around hybrid wolf-rabbit babies lol.

this is very gay. also im a sucker for the childhood friends trope so i already love this update: I desperately need a second volume of them in college *sobs* They’re so cute, and I’m glad there weren’t any misunderstandings. i loved all the little elements that tied this together like them thinking the same thing at the same time! it’s present at the beginning AND the ending hehe. i’m not sure how any one of them thought best friends having sex is a normal thing… anyway, this is definitely peak school life BL. the art is so good, and i liked how the leads are both good looking in their own ways
