Bike's manga / #vol-1(8)

Sequel/second in the series created by this author. It's the dude who went hard on liking chicks in the first one. Turns out it was all a farce. Whole thing builds off of one-sided identity porn, meaning two identities at play, here. I found the plot twist in here fun, and it was pretty enjoyable overall.

Honors student slacks off as he figures out that he likes to play with his ass. His academic competitor catches him in the act. They strike a deal: if the honor student studies, he'll help stretch out his ass. --- It's nice smut. Otherwise, it's a simple read. You've got the hook, the relationship development, the fallout, and the reconciliation.

Threesome situation between a late-bloomer omega and two alphas. The alphas basically try to one-up each other when it comes to "ownership" over him, only for it to eventually dissolve into a sharing situation. It's fun; all the characters have chemistry with each other, even though the alphas aren't involved with each other.

Setting is a cruise ship. Blondie here gets intwined with the captain for some reason---it's been a while, I forgot. But I remember enjoying this one for its entertainment value, although I recall deeper elements that I can't remember for the life of me. -- ...I think I do remember, actually, but it'll be spoilers if I bring it up here.

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.

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.

Dude who's trained himself to mask his thoughts meets a mind reader. Class president's into beautiful things, and unfortunately, mind reader's as beautiful as it gets. The idol gimmick got dropped pretty quickly, which was a shame. I liked how his mind reading was able to be controlled. It was interesting to hear how he had used it because he wanted everyone to like him. I appreciate the ending message of allowing oneself to be more open with communicating. I'm sure it's a common theme among series featuring a mind reader, but I think it was done fine here. It was cute.

It's sex. Incredibly corny smut. Fun read. I got vague AoT vibes from the characters and the setting. I have no idea why; I've never even read nor watched AoT.
