5 Seconds

Complete | Sachimo | 2000 released

What the fck is this shit XD I can't take it seriously nor can I take it as comedy. Sorry XD So now I undropped it. I dropped it at the fist story, so when I learned it's multiple stories, I picked it up again, because it feels unfair for the other stories. 1. First/titular story takes up 2 chapters + the extra. It made me drop this anthology because of its weirdness - the idea seems hot and funny at the same time. Though when I read the extra, my impression took a 180-degree turn because IT'S JUST EXTREMELY HOT. TWICE THE SENSATION. OMG. 6/10 (3/10 for the main, +3 from the extra) 2. The second story is about twins who reencounter each other after some time. It's not said why they're away from each other - perhaps due to career choices or something, although it's hinted that their parents might've separated them after catching them in action *insert sad cockblocked lenny face*. Cliche. 4/10. 3. Soooo... This one caught my attention. I haven't read much manga about stalkers (I honestly hate romanticization of such behaviour), but this one was nice. Stalker x stalker. Not cliche, but not exemplary. 5/10. 4. This one is a huge wtf for me. Yes, this is not to my taste. Regardless, I think it would still get a low score from me because the dialogues are messy at some point (who's who, who's talking, what's happening), and the art/camera-view isn't good either. Aaaand, the story is simply about the third person in the 3-way friendship who feels left out + some UNHEALTHY BDSM, yet still manages to make itself look more complicated unnecessarily. 2/10. 5. I kinda want to see more of this tbh. A story about two highschool students, one wants to be an actor, the other wants to be a cameraman/director/whatever that captures the actor's best points. Then when they grew up, the one aspiring to be an actor fails and lands a job as a gay AV actor. All's well that ends well they say. :) I like the ending. 7/10. Overall: 2.4/5 or 2 stars. Still the same as the score I gave before.

Happy End o Shinjiteru

7/10 Would honestly be a 5 or 6/10 but it was too freaking funny The public kept clapping in every damn public confession of theirs because they're such a cute stupid couple. I loooove how there's practically no drama aside from the uke's BL manga dreams not being achieved I couldn't read it straight though, I kept cringing and felt embarrassed for them

Paradigm Shift

Complete | Pii | 2000 released

FAK ONGOING. cool uke/omega. Expected na tbh. Curious ako on baby tho. Honestly, ain't omegaverse omegas just women? -_- AHHH, THERE'S A BABY AT THE END. Lol, I thought I read up, but apparently I don't remember anything. I merely read the last chapter (and the extra) but I kinda got the gist. This was nice uwu Edit: I finally read the whole series seriously... And... DID I MISS SOME CHAPTERS??? As much as I like Pii's works, this was weak because there's a lot of side characters to take note of (the chief, the glasses dude, etc) that are too extra to notice. Also, the dialogues are sometimes confusing (who's speaking, who's who)

I'm just happy about the ending.

Tabun Motto Suki ni Naru

Complete | Fuzuki Atsuyo | 2000 released

Ch 1: seme is subtly homophobic. The moment he learns that he's the uke's "first man" his worries disappeared and decides to love the uke entirely. Bland story added with subtle homophobia. 2/10 Ch 2: childhood friends who are always together and have sex together but are not lovers. One is already in love, the other only realizes when he thinks they're not going to be together forever. 4/10 Ch 3: skimmed x2 (just scrolled through lol). Pedophilia. 0/10 Ch 4:????? Okay??? No plot whatsoever. Author just wanted to add the tropes of: gay delinquent, delinquent uke, lollipop in ass, exam topnotcher, bet on exams. Eh. 1/10 Ch 5: body hair fetish. Lol, shallow comedy story. 5/10 Ch 6: ojisan x ojisan. A friend of 30 years, a sex friend of 10 years. What's next? Cute, but I wish it was longer. Even just a few more pages :) 7/10 Average: ~3/10

First/Main story: Cute but messy pacing. Di ko tuloy feel. And cringe ("sometimes i find u cute") and i dun really feel that anything has been resolved. Interesting tradition but no explanation. Perhaps, it's in the prequel. will read that. 4 Second: similar as first story, i have no idea what the difference is. 3 Third: bodyguard x client. woah there, hahaha. 4 Fourth: idk, skimmed during my reread. meh. and why does the uke look so much like a girl, i don't even understand if it's bl or not. 1 //reread because i forgot the other stories tbf i do remember the main story so that's good
