Secondo Piatto

Kigurumi-kun
It’s quite cute! The conflict is pretty relatable…, The ML in the dog costume (Hayama) just had anxiety since he liked Shima for such a long time. They were so sweet, and I liked the friend that was supportive of them but also jealous that Shima was stolen from him haha.

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!
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
That's the Way the Cookie Crumbles
I would’ve liked this more had both the stories NOT kicked off with a literal rape/dubious consent scene! The author has to be insane for repeating that same, ass trope. the first story was pretty rushed, and i can’t say i enjoyed it all that much. i liked the pairing, though. the second story was much more fleshed out! i def liked it more than the first, but it would’ve benefited from not having rape and expanding on the leads’ past together. this was just… bad. not the worst. but worse than average.
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
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
Instructor Chiba Isn’t Flattered
I need a second volume right neow. I loved this (and the Initial D reference)! It was indeed very refreshing. The setting is different as it is in a driving school. It's very clear that the leads are adults, and I liked how the leads communicated healthily and didn't allow any misunderstandings to persist. The romance felt very natural, and the art was just *chef's kiss*. So beautiful. It did kind of feel underwhelming, though, with nothing much for me to take home really. What was that dumb plot point with the ex coming back... Seemed unnecessary to me. This story didn't need more drama. The author could've expanded on Yaotome (the ML) literally using Chiba (the MC) for his manga... But still a good read.
Yoake no Joshou
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!
