pinkstarred's manga / #Art is bomb(75)

A bunch of one shots that get hot an heavy. The two stories with friends were my favorites. Quite cute and hot an compelling. The art is amazing and interesting, love the layouts.

Seeing the struggles of Yuuta was so heartbreaking, the crushing feeling of staying silent and pretending to be okay for all those years. Desperately wanting to keep his family happy and struggling with his feelings and hating himself for them. I really love this type of story. The only thing to send this manga over the top would be the stepbrothers point of view. In the end, you hear how he really felt, but it's so disconnected and expected. *I wish we could of gotton a chapter from his point view at pinnacle moments during the story and you see his real thoughts and feelings. Also it must be said that these guys are gorgeous! The art is so polished and on point, it's almost too perfect. But, Damn son those bishi's are fine. ( *｀ω´) Best Oniicchan award definately goes to Ryuu, he actually acts like a responsible caring big bro. Although at the end that sorta fell apart, but excluding that one scene it was completely platonic. This a really good telling of this often seen trope. Props to sensei for making it consensual and waiting untill college. Could of easily gone the hook up in highschool route. * I was thinking on this, but I wonder if we had seen Ryuu's perspective if it would of changed the narrative? Seeing Ryuu's initial attraction for Yuuto, would that have turned the story into something darker and creepier? I think it can be done, just not sure how. Maybe showing why he fell for him keeping it more innocent and pure.

One of my favorites. I've read it multiple times. It's such a good ero romance, has a nice balance of smexy times and cute funny plot. The story is top notch with their sweet love for eachother and the sex is hot stuff. The art is fantastic! I love those expressions and the plumpness of those legs are super satisfying. This charming couple is one of my favorites. And I wish this wasn't censored, like I often find myself thinking.

Another great story from Masao sensei. A unrequited love returned, a simple fluffy slice of life of this cute pair. We follow them as the age and grow into their relationship. An uncomplicated love story, no real drama just a normal in love couple. I'm so unused to the crazy stupid drama in BL and on tv and anime that it's a bit slow but at the same time refreshing. Give it a read it might give you a nice break reading something so normal. Also these two are so pretty ^ ^

Where is this going? I want to see more. Hee Bum is such a feisty bitch. I love him! Also that cool chick has balls you got to give her props for that. Loving this so far. And Jumi is my homegirl, definately would want to be in her place. OH my gosh! Chapter 41! Kya! I love those two so dang much. Here Bum can you bee more tactless...Σ(￣。￣ﾉ)ﾉ Poor Jumi, she really is the best girl ever. T^T What the heck was chapter 57 ...so confused. (　ﾟдﾟ) OMG! Chapter 59 is so sad and...happy. How am I supposed to feel about this? Poor Yoo Won Oppa....（ ｉ _ ｉ ). He's grown so much, those dang rich runts, just horrible. Thank goodness for Hyung giving good advice to adororble lil Yoo Won. He is a saint, a cinnamon roll, a fairy godmother and a true friend. Thank you Hyung. (T ^ T) Only 80 something chapters in and we FINNALY to see that summer, romance is blooming. （＾Ｏ＾）Kya! It was everything I've wanted and more. ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ 2020 update: To be rejected and wanting to be physically intimate be called gross...the worst rejection ever. Ofc he cried. I really feel for him. Now, does he think its gross to make out and more with a girl? Cause if not, i think thats your answer. You want different things and unless he has changed moving forward in a relationship is not the answer.

This was wrapped up nicely, tied up loose ends and the art was in top form again. I think it summed up the entire story well. And I'm glad Momo feels loved by Yata, and they have eachother. It all worked out in the end. It delves into some serious heavy topics mitigating the tragedy with comedy for both the reader and Momo. Although not total winner for me, I like it a lot, it made me think and feel a spectrum of emotions. ！(◎_◎;)k ... Well.. That was definitely ero.. At first glance it seems light but the actual story of Momo is quite tragic. What he needs from Yata is not marathon sex but rather unconditional love and caring that Momo has never received. All he's known is that sex equals money/something he needs or wants, it is not an expression of love. Although we see Momo clearly changing because of Yata's mothering protection it's almost undone with his ferocious sexual appetite. I'm not sure how I feel about it, like Momo says it almost feels like rape at times. A real life look at trauma caused by prostitution, laughing everything aside so he won't break down. It's sobering when Momo takes something seriously but is quickly pushed aside by a gag as if to stop the reader from balling and keep a facade of comedy just like Momo. I love the art, its drawn well including the backgrounds, though it definately changes over volumes. It definately falls apart at times becoming sloppy. I love her paneling, they are interesting and display the action well. The dramatic scenes were done so well, but it can get busy especially in the second volume. Sensei seems to like sound effects. There was a couple of chapters that used textured screens and I am not a fan of that effect. It makes a scene busy and messy and unpleasant to look at. It seems like an unnecessary way to take up blank space thats just distracting. Luckily it seemed to be temporary. There were times though that she would use loads of panels and yet it worked, combining close ups with little dialogue emphasized the action while makeing it easy to read. Rating 3.9/5

One of my first and favorite mangas. This has one of the fluffiest couples ever. A romcom full of lovey dovey moments and lusty love scenes. The moe Aki captured mine and Ueda's heart. This fun silly series is full of rediculous antics that will make you laugh and lovable characters that make your heart doki doki. Recurring characters pop up and even supporting roles get some love too. It's a long series at 9 volumes and counting and worth every happy moment. A bit redundant at times and even clichéd, this sappy story won't disappoint but fuel your happy bubble. (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

This was Sooo good! I need more! That was so sweet and what a terrific friend, though his love is unrequited until now maybe?

Good story, I want more. Love the art and the plot is interesting. And it really has a good message That promotes healthy relationships.

I feel so bad for their girlfriends. These two are kind of jerks, well acting jerky. But, maybe that's what makes them perfect for eachother. Really like the art. Now let's see who wins the top position. Hehe
