Kikoeru?

Complete | HASHIMOTO Aoi | 2000 released

Sakurabashi Itsuki’s only hobby is listening to his favorite radio DJ, Yunokuchi Arata (otherwise known as “JUNO”) One day, they happen to cross paths at a local bookstore where Itsuki confesses his admiration. Comment: I liked the comic overall, but I didn’t really like the seme’s personality. And the *** scene? Oh my gods. It was kind of hard for me to read because the uke is so sweet and adorable. I couldn’t imagine him doing something like that. But again, he is 21 years old, and that fact won’t change no matter how much I fawn over him. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ It was steamy, though, so I’ll give it that. I like the mangaka’s art style and their stories. I’m binge-reading them right now. I wouldn’t read it again, but it was a nice read in general. It’s a light read. It’s okay, but I think it could have been better.

Review: The art is splendid. I really want to learn from it! The whole thing with Renako denying their relationship is really taxing to read as it goes on. It feels like it's dragging when it could've wrapped up with Renako getting over her preconceived vision what being "lovers" is. At the same time, though,it's realistic, since they're only high schoolers after all. It's normal to think this way. I'd recommend reading the light novel to get a better comprehension of the story. ^-^ You can read the light novel translation at http://meatbuntranslation.blogspot.com/ Chapter 22

Here And There And Us (And Then And After)

Ongoing | Thanat | 2020 released

I love this!! This simply ticks all my boxes. I love their communication and, again, how natural their relationship is. The worries about telling other people that one of the leads has a boyfriend is very much real… This sequel gave everything the prequel didn’t. It gave us a new outlook on their relationship as lovers. Still a very fluffy and (might I steal the words of another commenter) comforting read!

This is really good! A true depiction of a wholesome friendship. It illustrates Satom’s struggles with his changing voice and just youth in general pretty well. I don’t think I could see their relationship as anything other than platonic because let’s be for real… Most of the time they spend together are as a middle schooler and a middle aged man lmao. Anyway, loved the comedy! Kyouji is a silly yakuza. Their relationship is quite realistic with the pacing and everything. This is a short but also extremely immersive read.
