Bike's manga / #on-hold(41)

Dude gets reincarnated into the body of a boy. It's just him living life so far :') It's BL, but it's presumably way out in the future.

Author and editor pair that had a sort of romance going on when they were in high school. This one's interesting for its exploration into writers' block. Felt like the mangaka was drawing from their own experience for that. Felt vulnerable, open that way. Romance development track was essentially the editor going "I like you," as the MC struggled with his own feelings. Progression as of the current chapter's been left on a good note :)

Hell yeah, Isekai BL Edit: Eh, it’s okay. Tropey, but kinda endearing. ML annoys me more than the Heroine IMO, but I’m warming up to him. Edit #2: Read the light novel, liked it :) Found hate towards heroine overblown, albeit not undeserved. ML grew on me a bit. === not feeling the MC. the FL bashing isn't for me, either

Heartwarming. ML reminds me of Meyer from Gourmet Hound lmao --- Summary for self-reference: Dude---former solider who did service---moves into the countryside with his daughter, birthed from a mother who dropped her at his door and left. Meets this shopkeeper dude (ML), who ends up helping him adjust to life there. Also meets this kid, who thought he was his dad at first. Mainly slice-of-life vibes as he adjusts to living there. He ends up falling for the shop-keep (more like he falls for him, lmao). It's sweet. The baby is ugly, but in a cute-ugly sort of way (like a pug).

Read up to volume 2. The concept isn't certainly for me---long-term hunter and werewolves fued---but I had to read it because it was zariya ranmaru's work, and I loved Shangri la no Tori. I'm not in love with the story (again, not my personal preferences), nor the pairing, but it's still pretty good. Delivers on the sex scenes, as always---erotic but also intimate. --- Summary for self-perusal: Estranged grandson reluctantly works undercover at a bar for his grandfather, who seeks the eradication of werewolves. Ends up falling in love with a half-werewolf. He falls *hard*. What proceeds is an affair as the werewolf character (our MC) goes under heat for the first time, which proceeds into some unknown territory as their relationship gets...complicated. ML is the heir of a hunter organization that seeks to eradicate werewolves. His feelings aren't as strong as his grandfather's, to say the least. MC is a member of a werewolf group that's planning on eliminating the same organization ML's associated with. It's all part of a decades-long fued that's been getting worse recently. --- Slightly unrelated: I've only read up to volume two, so there may be more info about it in volume three. Also, I'll just say. Whatever is going on between the grandfather and his servant is. Something. === If I had to summarize it in one line, it's like Romeo and Juliet but with werewolves and hunters.

Chapter 6. A bit hard to read---veiled allusions to feminism are heavy, almost too on the nose---but I find the discussion refreshing. Not entirely sure where this'll go. On hold.

Chapter 6 MC is sent back to his body after having endured some travesty for some centuries(?), having been one of a select few to undergo some sort of excursion. Whatever's happened is currently unknown. The present matter is that he's back to before everything began. He has a hundred days, and then after that, he'll die, reuniting with the others---loved ones---who have died before him. There's not much going on right now (I'm on chapter 6, I believe)? His PoV's quite depressing, if I'm to be honest. He's traumatized from the past, distant from others. He hardly wants to make connections with the world he's currently residing in. Only thing to counterbalance that is the ML, who is effectively a puppy-dog. === Not sure about them as a pairing yet, but it's too early to say. I am intrigued, however, especially with MC's backstory, which very little information revealed about it. I also like the concept of ML and his siblings. I think they could add additional interesting moments in this story. Too soon to say, either way. --- I'm not sure what to feel about the ML.

Another hunter setting with BL. Read a bit a while ago but don't remember much except it seemed more heavy on gameplay than romance. MC is powerful and ML is a newbie healer, kind of a golden retriever type.

Chapter 6 I think it's interesting, but I do believe the translation makes it hard to understand. Appreciate the translator for translating nonetheless.
