Yuutousei wa Mi no Hodo Shirazu
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.
Zutto Kimi no Turn
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.
Memeshii Aku to Azatoi Suh
Prequel/first in the series created by this author. Dude who's open to sex with basically anybody gets trapped with a naive stalker. They're both kind of irritating, but they work with each other.
Tell Me You Can Hear It
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.
Kagakubu no Megane
Fave. Strong panelling, great establishment of tone. Really awkward, but really suited exploration of adolescense thing going on here
Ookami-sama no Koiwazurai
I remember liking this one, oddly enough. i think it was cute.
Stranger Than Friends
I haven't finished this series/caught up yet, but I'm placing it on hold starting Chapter 39 because this series is pissing me off!!! Why is he holding back for such a stupid reason! I hate the boss character -- I don't want to see his shady ass involved even more because of him!!! Side Note: Skipped to latest season. (ep. 16) Appreciate how Tak did a complete 180 on consent. Legit wasn't expecting that as the turn of that lead to their argument, but sure. Color me intrigued.
Nagi-kun and Hayasaki-kun
Erotic? Certainly a lot of sexual tension—main appeal’s the sort of push-and-pull thing they’ve got going on. Of course, MC’s pulled in eventually.
