pluviophiliac's manga / #steamy level 69696(693)

haha, this was surprisingly wholesome! well, considering there’s smut in it, i mean. it’s just 100% awkwardness and cuteness and this weird sense of innocence and they’re just SO. FUCKING. ADORABLE. and i especially appreciate the realism of it, too! it’s quite nice. would’ve given it a five star rating if the art had been somewhat more… expressive, maybe? i wish i had the ability to give it 4,5 stars since 4,0 feels low-key misleading to me. but still… i’d like to do so for my own sake, at least. i’m a generous reviewer, i know that much—therefore these things are pretty important for me. not just in order to navigate the stories i’ve already read, but also to keep track of the ones i might just want to read again. man, the struggle is real… (but they’re soooo adorable, though!!!)

AHHHH, SO WHOLESOME!!!! i seriously love these characters, lol. one of the few graphic novels i genuinely look forward to (and want to read ASAP) each week. and we’re blessed with new chapters every week!!! sometimes more than one, y’all. we’re so spoiled. but anyway, i adore them all. ESPECIALLY ‘the second couple’ or whatever i should call them, i just love their energy. or perhaps synergy would be a more fitting term? if you’re a fan, you’d know what i mean by that. hahahaha edit: so, we just hit season 3… AND IT’S BEEN UPGRADED TO A FUCKING YAOI, FAM!!! they just went ahead and hit us with a “cherry blossoms after winter” shounen-ai-turned-yaoi, you guys. but hey, y’all don’t understand just how unexpectedly turned on i am right now, sheesh. this just made my whole damn day. aaaand i need a shower. (mini-edit: went back and reread it later in the evening for masturbation material, heh. i’m kinda sick in the head for doing that to our precious babies, i know, but my GOOOOD, i just live for their chemistry!!! it’s so good and i’m so, so, soooo looking forward to this new season. surprise us, author-nim!)

ohhh, nooo… ;_; we started out semi-wholesome (at least very lovey-dover if nothing else), but shit got dark reaaaal quick. fucking hell, there’s so much violence and SA here!!! i’m amazed that our two main boys have remained untainted (?) so far. holy shiiit. please, just let them end up happy and in one piece… is that really too much to ask for, author? ;_;

looks haaaawt.

man, this one’s required a lot of mental health breaks in order for me to stay sane… first of all, the smut is TOP. NOTCH. ridiculously hot. second of all, this green-haired fucker… this guy is a whole new level of fucked up. HE’S CLEARLY SICK IN THAT GREEN HEAD OF HIS!!! my god, i don’t know if i’ve ever been this disgusted by a character before, it’s ridiculous. i’m not usually an advocate for murder, but honestly, please just end his miserable existence already. my patience’s running thin with this one. anyway. to keep the remainder of this review somewhat brief: i loved the story!!! i enjoyed the overall development and appreciated the characters’ growth throughout. did i think their relationship was 100% healthy? no, but they grew on me surprisingly quickly. was i mostly there for the smut? absolutely, but i did like the couple, too. will i ever read this again? probably. if i’m ever feeling particularly horny, that is. (maybe.) great stuff to get someone’s juices flowing, though. heh! i think these two grew into a pretty wholesome duo, though, ngl. (despite how different their ‘dynamic’ felt during the smutty chapters.) they were super sweet together! i ship it. and either way, i liked the outcome! :)

well, it was alright. better than i remember, to be honest! nearly took me a good two years to finish this one, though, lol. but better late than never!
