Karera o Meguru Subete

Complete | Sato akihito | 2019 released

i really think that this was a good one but i just felt everything was going so fast~ they literally just met and then they bumped to each other the next day and suddenly they're a thing and then confession happens and you know what comes after that lol though i still love their relationship, oono really takes care of fuji while fuji is so infatuated of him and he just adores oono ^^ there is this lingering feeling that oono did somehow coerce fuji into this relationship like not really but in a way ?? but oono isn't a bad person !! he's definitely a green flag its just that i had that kind of feeling throughout :> fuji's friends are cute too !! i like how they also got close with oono and they're very supportive of their relationship >< abt fuji's dad, i didn't expect to see him try to change but i'm glad he realized that what he's doing is just eating him away :)) i'm wondering why oono didn't do anything abt fuji's dad, but ig after they started dating fuji didn't have any bruises and stuff anymore so yeaaa (ig the author didn't want to put his dad's abuse on the spotlight and just wanted to focus on the love he has with oono) overall this was pretty cute ^^ some parts felt iffy and i didn't feel that much connection but yea i enjoyed it :> i'm happy to see fuji being loved and that his life is finally going in a much better path <33 i also love that we got to see a bit of time skip :)) the art style's pretty this was a good read !!

Kobi No Kyoujin

Complete | ike reibun | 2013 released

this was a pretty good sequel !! everything made much more sense esp with the brief timeline by the uploader (?) i said that i was kind of confused with the plot and everything that's happening in the first installment but it was all explained here so i'm pretty satisfied with that ^^ i came in knowing that kabu will have his red flag tendencies and all but i think it wasn't that bad ?? like if i were to compare him to the other yakuza MLs, i think he's one of the good ones :> its not gonna be realistic if he were to be such a nice person but he never r worded nirasawa (just that time when he first let go of him to try "forgetting" his feelings or whatever) but that doesn't mean i like the guy there's another sequel so i'm looking forward to that but i must say, his character development's quite good here :)) the plot's quite messy in the beginning but again it did make sense afterwards, i think this is one of the yakuza plots that i really liked ^^ of course there are still your typical tropes and arcs but i think i quite enjoyed the storytelling here :D it wasn't the frustrating type as well and it also had some angst & comedy here and there so i enjoyed it ^^ i just want nirasawa to be happy and be treated better pls the guy has been through so much i just want to see him live a happy life >< overall this was a pretty good sequel ^^ i enjoyed it even though its not really my go-to types of plot i think the author did a good job with the storyline :> i wish kabu would reciprocate the ilys though wjjdjhdhd i mean he did say it once in the extra from the first book but i wanna see him reassure nirasawa bc the guy keeps thinking that he doesn't mean anything to kabu :(( i think he did reassure him while they had angry sex on the extras but i kind of want to see more soft and domestic scenes from them so i hope there's stuff like that on the final sequel~ (though its probably impossible bc this is a yakuza genre lol) also kouki is a very confusing character lol idk if i like him or not anyway i think the art style got even prettier this time around !! i'm obsessed with it this was a good read !!

Futarikkiri no Oishii Ojikan

Ongoing | Wakonaruki | 2019 released

this was pretty cute ^^ the interactions between the MCs were pretty wholesome :> kazuma is such a sweet puppy :)) i just think their conflict was a little bit annoying bc its a common trope and the part where yukiteru hesitated to say his feelings bc he feels like kazuma will reject him when its very clear that he likes him hello ???? the first few chapters were quite bland and a bit of a chore to read esp with that blackmailing student D: it was taken so lightly and i just don't get why it had to happen lol it was so unnecessary anyway i did love the senior teacher bc he was pretty funny and i love how he became a catalyst to their relationship ^^ (even ships them ) overall i think the pairing and dynamic was cute !! i love dynamics like this one and i agree with the comment who said they have a switch vibe bc i really think they do >< both of them can be manly and adorable at the same time pls !!! i think i needed more development though ik they didn't get together immediately but i just wanted more connection bc it looked like yukiteru absolutely rejected the fact that he'll like kazuma but then suddenly he just feels jealous (yea ik he already had some feelings that was slowly budding but i just felt like it didn't have that big of an impact) but nonetheless, this was still pretty good !! i still enjoyed and i think they became a really cute couple >< you can see how yukiteru loves kazuma now which is really cute ^^ they freely expressed their feelings which i liked <33 the art style is so pretty and adorable !! this was a good read

Goodbye Lilac

Complete | yuki ringo | 2015 released

this was pretty good ^^ i'm glad after everything that happened, they ended up together and i love how we got to see a bit more of them with the short time skip >< i've only read one work of this author and so far it usually has this melancholic feeling or vibe while reading it which i'm surprised i quite enjoyed~ i love how katou waited up until he graduated before really persuing kasai, once kasai rejected him when he was a student he didn't persist and finished school ^^ after they reunited he still had feelings for kasai so he persued him once more :> i wouldn't say i was annoyed but katou being a bit pushy is ya know just a tiny bit :/ but he wasn't the harassing type !! and if kasai really hated it, he could've done a lot to avoid or even file a restraining order but we all know that deep inside he also liked katou's company ^^ the pacing was a bit slow but that's what makes it good bc you can really see how kasai developed his feelings for katou :)) the thing that made me feel "meh or :/" is whenever kasai denies his feelings for katou and says things like "if he was a girl" blah blah shenanigans but yea ik its normal for him to think like that but yea i just didn't like reading it because it was repeated multiple times but i'm glad he finally realized and accepted his feelings ^^ i felt bad for what happened to katou :< i didn't expect sata to do that when he was the one who broke up with katou >:( i don't like how he didn't even get punished for what he did but ig i respect katou's decision since he was the one who said not to report to the police~ overall this was good !! their dynamic's adorable ^^ though i wanted to see more of them esp on the time skip and some casual dating scenarios as well but ig i'm quite satisfied seeing them both declare their feelings for each other and the author gave us a time skip of them after two years so that's cute >< wish we got to see kasai's dad approve of them but just seeing them happily live together is enough i'm also glad katou didn't get any trauma whatsoever bc of what sata did :(( and i also love how kasai was the one who took action and deleted everything ^^ i almost forgot to mention but i really love kasai's lines when he finally admitted his feelings for katou pls !!! it was so genuine and heartfelt >< the art style's pretty !! this was a good read !!

Mizu No Haru

Complete | kurosawa kaname | 2000 released

this was pretty good ^^ i didn't expect much bc it had low ratings but the plot was actually quite unique in some way~ i love the fact that the author also told the parents' story <33 both relationships are so pure and warm ^^ the vibe of the plot was calm all throughout like it just had this calm atmosphere idk but it was also quite fast (first couple), but i think its bc there were only 3 chapters for them so the development wasn't showed that much but i still enjoyed reading ^^ the plot for the parents is your typical editor x writer boss but it was unique since the writer was a widower so that came to play for a bit of angst but you can clearly see how much he loves motoi so >< overall this was pretty good and i think it deserves a higher rating bc it had a nice plot esp with the cute time skip for the first couple ^^ i love how sumi treasure's his parents' relationship and he wanted to protect them which is why he always kept it a secret bc he didn't want his classmates to say hurtful things to them :D i wish we got to see more of their domestic life but i'm pretty happy with their cute extras ^^ as well as sumi's dads' extra scenes >< the art style is pretty !! this was a good read !!

The Lovesick Flower Buds Waiting for Spring

Complete | Miwa | 2000 released

this was pretty cute ^^ i think all the chapters after ryosuke confessed was so adorable and wholesome bc you can really see his character development !! i love how after he did what he did, he realized he was wrong and that he needed to change himself for the better >< the first few chapters were quite meh bc i didn't like how ryosuke acted and did those things to ayumu it's not like he reay r worded him or something, but still he kind of attempted to assault him so i was like :/ and ik he still wasn't fully aware of his feelings but i just didn't like how he couldn't explain to ayumu why he did that :'> but anyway everything after they sorted their feelings ended up being wholesome esp when even though ryosuke would ask them to do it, he still respected ayumu which is a big character development ^^ i also love hikaru bc he's such a supportive and protective brother >< i'm glad that he never opposed to them but at the same time he was also quite protective when he saw what happened between the two ^^ as for ayumu, he's just so precious :(( i love him so much >< his personality is so adorable :'> he's such a kind and gentle person, very caring and intelligent ^^ i also love how mature he talks and how he always has a smile on his face ㅠㅠ overall this was good ^^ i wish we got to see a sequel with them living together bc that snippet on the author's note made me feel things >< the pacing was pretty good and the development was also okay ^^ the plot was a bit unique too since i've never read this type of plot before~ the art style is pretty too !! this was a good read !!

Bukiyo Na Bokura No Sukima

Complete | MOFUMOFU Edako | 2000 released

this was pretty fun ^^ i liked the dynamic minus the stealing gfs thing, but other than that i think the mutual pining was adorable and i love ryuu's character development, despite the story being short :> nao is probably the only female third party that i've liked bc she was so mature and she was also a fun addition for the comedic purpose of ryuu annoying her i love how she supported them even after getting hurt >< hiro is a puppy top who's obsessed with ryuu ^^ while ryuu is a cold cat who turns soft from time to time~ i really love the extra bc they were so cute pls !! i love seeing ryuu's adorable side :')) overall this was pretty good ^^ i just felt like their relationship was a bit lacking but ig thats bc the story's quite short, i still enjoyed it though ^^ the art style is so pretty !! this was a good read !!

Seikaku Kuzu De Nani Ga Warui

Complete | SHISHITO Kalali,SHISHITOU Karari,SHISITO Karari,SHISITOU Karari | 2016 released

this was okay, they were cute but there wasn't much connection for me~ i do like their dynamic since i'm very into polar opposites ^^ but i think their feelings, esp hanaura's, is still not yet there :)) tsuzuki seems nice and his feelings were pretty genuine but i was caught off guard by the sudden hand action by the front door lol kshskhdksh there were some parts that felt off and fastly paced but i think they were pretty cute ^^ the plot was kind of plain, not much is special abt them but i still enjoyed reading it ^^ i didn't know it had 3 volumes so i'll check those out too and hopefully there'll be more character development between the two :> the art style was pretty !! this was a pretty okay read ^^

Oyasuminasai No Ato Wa

Complete | kabano sakadachi | 2015 released

this wasn't that bad !! i expected it to be bad since the rating was quite low but i actually quite enjoyed that ^^ i think the plot should've been more polished bc i think it had a good story, it should've just been executed well bc i saw a lot of comments saying they were confused in the middle but tbh i wasn't confused though there were parts that were a bit blurry :)) like with kotaro's past, i think it needed a bit more explaning esp when it was just swept under the rug like his past traumas and with the sensei~ i think the only problem with this one was its flow and how the conflicts were kind of taken lightly, but other than that i think it was a pretty good read !! the art style didn't bother me at all, i actually liked it i think it was cute <33 overall this was good and like how they got to talk abt their past traumas esp suguru's trauma bc that was the source of their break up ^^ i'm glad that they got together and they even had a second baby ㅠㅠ i wish we got to see the baby but the extras and ending were all very wholesome and baby otsujiro was pretty cute too !! <33 it was a good read !!

Cello Mellow

Complete | TAGURA Tohru | 2000 released

all the stories were actually pretty cute though some of it were open ended~ i wanted to see more of all the couples since i think all of it were oneshots but i must say all of them were actually pretty good and wholesome <33 i'm just really not into multiple stories since i like focusing on one plot while reading but all of the stories included here had similar set-ups and dynamic which is why it was good ^^ there wasn't much drama at all and more of the developing relationships between high school students~ i think even though they were all oneshots, every single one had their own meaning and vibe :)) every story was quite poetic and i also like the flow of it ^^ the art style is pretty !! this was a good read !!
