Confessions of a 35 Year Old
I appreciated the realism in this. Like the ML is bisexual. The MC grapples with his internalized homophobia and the weight of societal expectations. There was also the showing of workplace bullying as well, which was a nice touch. Romance-wise…. Well, I doubt you can really call this a romance comic in the typical sense. The open ending was nice, but it felt like the author barely skimmed the surface of their relationship. It’s like drawing a shounen protagonist gearing up and training for the big match, only to not show it all. It was a decent story, just not a very memorable or particularly amazing one.
Golden Opportunity
I don’t usually read yakuza stuff, but this is really good. As much as there is smut, there is some plot to go along with it. Gang politics, the mystery behind Ryu Jean’s death, the leads’ past together— It makes for a thrilling read. The side characters aren’t flat either. I like how they pretty much have their own personalities. On top of that, the size difference is pretty refreshing. If you’re into that, one of the better reads out there.
Suki ni Sasete Miseru Kara!
It’s really cute! Extremely! But ngl, the story is lacking. Despite it being about sweets, the story is bland. The conflict was pretty quick, and it was just an easygoing story. Could be for some people, but this kind of felt like a waste of my time? The second season desperately needs to be translated. Extremely cute, though. Liked their dynamic. young puppy x older bottom.
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.
Owner of the (Animal) Detective Agency
This was so cute! I enjoyed reading about their detective shenanigans and them flirting while doing it haha. Their pets are too adorable like the fat cat and the parrot. I liked the extra where we got to see more of their dynamic as lovers. Good, comedic read.
New Alpha Son, Old Omega Father
Yeah, this is just a no. You can’t try justifying this… The huge age gap… the fact the ml calls the mc “dad” for 90% of the story. the pseudo incest— what’s with the supposed happy ending… the mc gives birth to his almost-son’s child??? i feel bad for the kid, man. the exhibitionism, too… barf. why make this. just why.
Famiresu Iko.
Great continuation! Love that Satomi’s feelings are being explored. His dynamic with Kyouji is quite interesting. I also love that the other characters HAVE character as well. The storytelling is just so well done and unique. I don’t know if this will go in a romantic direction, but we’ll see.
Grab the Stars
The ML (black haired guy, bottom) annoyed me sm. Bro has the nerve to block the Mc but then miss him like what… Probably one of the only good things about this was the art. The “angst” didn’t feel that genuine to me. The ghosting was just not it. All the conflict was just cliché mumbo jumbo.
Gay in 30 Days
the title is misleading… i thought this would be about a gay forcibly trying to convert his crush, but it’s surprisingly wholesome and good. i like the comedy 36
