Bike's manga / #supernatural(16)

Ah, one of the first BLs I read, thanks to the TL team. (This is from memory) The concept was neat, I liked it! Ending was pretty rushed, though. Everything just happened all at once, but the ending note was sweet. I wouldn’t bout it at a high four star, but I remember liking it enough.

VERY SOLID. Love both the MC and ML, and even the supporting cast! It’s essentially the trope where someone switches places with an alternate version of themself and has to deal with their new surroundings. In the first world, the ML is besotted with him; in the second, he never really knew him. It’s all tied to this one key scene, and how the author utilized it was really well done. It felt like things were slightly rushed, and I emphasize highly on the “slightly”, but it was good. If there was a thing I didn’t like, it would be the choice guy for alternate!ML. We only met him for a relatively short time and didn’t get the feeling of much chemistry. Besides that, it was great.

Dude who forsees the future by touching meets man with bad luck. -- Immovable object meets unstoppable force. One of those A x B BL, but it's a cute one. I'll have to reread to refresh my mind on past chapters.

Former childhood friends meet up at their hometown by pure coincidence. Also, one of the dudes has wings. Interesting ideas with confusing ending, but I still enjoyed it.

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

Art's nice. Not really a fan of eye candy characters, though. I think their dynamic's sweet.

Mad scientist revives an aquaintance who died in an alley. There were side effects. Manga explores those side effects. --- tl;dr Unique concept that further stands out with moody tone and fascinating character dynamics. Initial chapter ideas and uncertain pacing of middle chapters coalesce into slightly rushed but powerful ending. The manga is rather morbid in tone. A bit gory---lots of hijinks involving having to kill people for the mad scientist's experiments. Oh, yes. The mad scientist. He's ultimately what makes this the manga it is. He has a fascinating dynamic with the man he resurrected---he very much treats him like a toy to be played with, except, no, it's not exactly that, either. Their dynamic is truly interesting in the sense that they sort of...mesh together, rather than fall in love in the conventional sense. The resurrected man has no one; he is dead to the world. The scientist has no one, either; he's isolated himself in the name of science. So. They make do, love each other in the best sense they can until the end. I love stories like this one. I haven't finished this one yet, but I've gone through a majority of it and encountered spoilers for the ending. It's a bit rushed, but it's GOOD. It's wraps everything up well, and, I believe, is the only one that I think fits thematically.

Love the concept. MC's adorable. Yokai With Horror Elements is a "hell yes" from me. Chapters have a slight "slice-of-life" kind of vibe. Not much in terms of the overall plot yet, but the author's sewn in the initial seeds; color me intrigued! Can't wait to figure out more about not only the contract but also whatever's going on with the old guy. Only up to Chapter 5 right now. Can't wait for the rest.

Hmm, tentative 3.5. I like the art-style, it's quite gorgeous, and the characters and conflicts are pretty decent, there's just something about it that's missing. Still reading it, though, because I haven't managed to stick this long to a vampire BL (not that I've read many).
