Bike's manga / #silly(31)

Honestly? It was pretty nice, but god, the beginning was especially ridiculous, but in a good way. ...I probably should've looked up the tags online before reading. I read this for comedy, and I certainly got it, but it was explicit, lmao. Fun and surprisingly lovely read. It's formatted in dual POV, with the MC for the first five chapters, and then the ML for the rest. It honestly strengthened the experience, because when I started asking *why* the ML was quite adversed(?), repulsed(?) (I do not know the right words for this), I got my answer. My only comments for concern was the quick turnabout in the end, but I can let that slide. After reading this, I read Akihabara Fall in Love, and I will say this: Kudos to the Mangaka for expanding on a /weird/ side character. The weird activity I saw in the original story was fleshed out in a deeper way, and it added complexity to his character in a neat way. Essentially, it ties in the conclusion of the story, the main couple getting together, and brings it to this one as internal conflict for the ML, and I would say it was integrated well, considering that in this story he was pretty creepy, ngl. I think that the benefit of reading this story before the other one made me respect the mangaka more, because if they were able to expand on this dude, then kudos to them. — Modern-era BL artist and editor, neat concept, neat characters.

Cut-and-dry adventure plot (clear goal and "ending") with smut interspersed somewhere along the way. I don't remember the details; all I do recall is the fan service, which was nice.

Side 1. BL Cirlces, MC's friendship with the author, heartfelt speech about being in a same sex relationship, the whole sugar daddy fiasco, the shipping moments, being kicked out of chat logs, the father and dinner with the father, dude takes in three cigarettes and decides "yeah, im gay for this dude," the gameshow, that drunken night, the confession?? Dear, they're so in love

Fears immortality, the beauty of loved ones, cherishing them while they're alive, societal outcast, loving someone, treasuring someone

It's a "who your daddy?" situation -- they both hooked up with this girl in the past, she passes away, and they're left to figure out who's the father. No DNA identification (the mom left a note iirc), so they end up living together with the kid. Hijinks ensue. --- Current favorite ongoing series. Lovely art, with good character dynamics throughout. Author knows how to create distinct characters in addition to compelling relationships. There's a lot I want to talk about with this series, but I'll stop there for now.

Finished. Rushed ending. Pick up Volume 4, past midway of part 4 to see how the manhwa starts deviating from the novel. —- On Chapter 30. tl;dr Fun series with a potentially interesting overarching plot. But for now: It's cute! Fun game mechanics! Fun character dynamics! --- It's lighthearted and fun! Jerry is frankly an adorable character, and I'm always a sucker for isekai series with a relationship favorability meter. The ML's Ilya, which is not a surprise at this point, but I can't help but prefer Karyan as a character lmao. But I suppose there's already series like Villains are Destined to Die that can fill that void...anyway, I've enjoyed the character dynamics. Jerry's interactions with both Ilya and Karyan are rather sweet, and his dynamic with his mentor's pretty fun, as well. Therems the sense of an overarching plot given his affinity with magic, as well as the intheritance fued that's oriented around the two brothers, but nothing's been set as of now. Overall, I'm having a fun time with this series right now.

Ongoing. Comedy. Dear lord, the mangaka character

Pretty sweet. Something about the beautician is a character I absolutely love, but everyone in this story is quite sweet. It's really just teaching a girl to be more comfortable with styling, and it's neat. It's not too deep, but it doesn't need to be, given the format (although I would mind exploring the 'onee' character a bit more) ON HOLD (6.5)
