Ao Haru Ride
ao haru ride was definitely a ride to say the least lol. i liked the anime but honestly i cant understand why they decided to animate such a tiny portion of the story and literally none of the main plot. the manga was so GOOD and the character development for both kou and futaba was done so so well. i have to say the star of the show is kou of course. this man had me experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions everytime he was present. i have many many mixed feelings for him but overall im extremely happy with his character at the end and i support them w most of my heart. touma is too lovable and wonderful for me to forget about him tho. hes the best boy ever and i hope hes able to find happiness somehow. he really didnt deserve the pain and anxiety he experienced through getting involved w these two but he is the one who decided to persist so its on him. theres definitely way too many things to say abt the plot. ill do jot notes ig: - futaba is very admirable and mature. definitely one of my fav fls. shes very persistent and bold sometimes, which can get annoying to watch but if she wasnt as headstrong as she is she wouldnt have achieved eveything she set out to accomplish, which is inspirational. she goes after everything she wants w all heart. how can u hate that. - kou's backstory is really dark and makes him probably one of the most complex shoujo characters ive ever read. his guilt towards narumi broke my heart and made me borderline hate him, but honestly it just proves how good of a person he really is, even if he did it for himself. you can say what you want abt kou but he is extremely loyal and faithful to his friends and loved ones. his journey back to "tanaka kou" was so fulfilling and watching his personality blossom was so fun. but he really did make me hate him for how he turned down futaba. but yknow what? i have never seen a male lead repent for his actions and suffer as much as kou. the love of his life literally dated a 10/10 in front of his eyes and all he could do is watch from the sidelines. those moments made my heart clench for kou but also flutter for touma. now this is what it means to have two amazing male leads and an effective love triangle set up, even if kou always owned futabas heart and we all knew that deep down. i love these 3 characters so much and i have to say that ahr is def one of my fav shoujo stories thus far. 9/10.
Watashi ga Motete Dousunda
hehe finally read this one after it being in my list for so long. the anime was SO GOOD! its definitely bc im an avid bl reader that i liked it so much tho, like if i had watched this a year ago i wouldnt have understood anything LOOL. but yes, so good! reverse harems are the best, and especially when all of them are so likable. i LIVE for the main couple so much. its kinda rare that the fl ends up w the sweetest character sadly, usually preferring the tsundere type that doesnt deserve love (can u tell im still traumatized from ao haru ride ily kou soz) but nope she chose the best boy! the story was super hilarious and i really loved it. tbh kae got on my damn nerves towards the end tho. she was really selfish w her interests and it was so fucking annoying to see her treat mutsumi badly. then again she kinda paid for it but i dont know if that was enough. im glad she figured shit out but that part made my blood boil tbh. bro nanaxshino extra is a blessing. i didnt even ship them until the end but i am Craving more content on them now, please i pray that the mangaka chooses to make a full length side story on them. anyways - super good! 9/10
Gunjou no Subete
i LOVED this one. nagisa furuya strikes again bro. i think this might be my second fave of hers after the film enthusiasts one! i really wish there was more bc i ADORE the the characters and their dynamic. the seme in this is one of my absolute fave types. its like hes desperately in love but he respects his partner so much and wants the best for him so he'll never put his own feelings first by confessing and making them uncomfortable. hes calm and cool-headed and this is exactly what allows the uke to realize his own feelings. ugh theyre both so into each other i love it sm. she should really write more of this. no surprise kisses or unwanted advancements, just super pure and consented. the uke is the one who kisses the seme first too!!! sob so good. fav fucking trope. 9/10
Oh! My Assistant Webtoon
i loved this series a lot! i really enjoyed the slow burn portion so i wish it had kept that pace til the end. the misunderstandings section had me bonking my head against a wall it was so frustrating. uke was lowkey kinda unnecessarily harsh, but i get it i probably wouldve done the same. his past experience with love was literally one of the worst things that could possibly happen to a gay man so cant blame him either. the seme was so cute! a literally puppy boy. i wish they didnt speed thru their relationship so much once they got together, it wouldve been nice to seem actually transition into lovers instead of been thrown into another conflict. nonetheless, very cute story. i love how requited it was the whole way thru, ukes simping always have my heart. super fun read!
Tama No Gohoubi
i loved this sm!!! such a feel good shoujo story it succeeded at getting my mind off other things for a couple hours :,). i ADORE tamao, he is fucking adorable and his social awkwardness had me both awwing and crying over him. the character designs are so pretty, reo is like literally the prettiest character in the entire thing lol. the fl is quite literally me. I'm constantly thinking abt stuff like that when I'm w guys (tho i hate to admit how subconsciously horny i am) and tho my imagination isn't quite as wild as hers, its pretty much up there LOL. this was so pure and sweet i loved it a lot. it was also like the perfect length, not super long but doesn't leave me wanting more chapters or anything. ye - 9/10

Oretachi Namamono Desu
this is SO GOOD looooool. so fucking funny and cute. ive realized that my fav pairing is idiot soft and pretty uke and stoic but desperately in love seme iTS SO FUCKING GOOD. AHhhhhHHhh and the smut is like really hot oof. i love the idol aspect too, i got major flashbacks to bts run during the vacation chapters loool especially with that letter. makes you think abt whether my fav idols had shit goin on between them too. i mean those mfs would flirt constantly and be sus in FRONT of cameras so imagine what was goin on behind the scenes? but then again they were all in big groups so maybe not as likely? hmm. LOL anywyas is sooo good and hilarious i cant wait for more 10/10
