Kuro X Koi

Complete | TAKAGI Ryou | 2014 released

this was good ^^ i think the story itself wasn't that bad though i think the plot and the flow needs a bit more polishing but i think it was pretty good~ the story between ao and kurose ws quite unique but predictable :> i haven't read much stories abt twins so this was quite refreshing >< i also like how each couple had their own story and we got to see how they are interconnected with each other :DD midori and shirose's story was cute as well but i think i didn't feel much of their feelings since it was quite rushed~ their relationship was a bit too fast but i mean both couples are happy and they stayed together up until aki was already in high school which meant the relationship's going strong <33 i also liked how the author included aki and akane's story bc we also got to see how ao and midori were doing after the kids grew up >< their relationship was your typical mutual pining but still adorable :> overall this was pretty good and i enjoyed it~ all the couples had a cute relationship and there wasn't much conflict :)) i wish we got to see more domesticity esp more scenes of ao + kurose, and midori + shirose taking care of aki together hehe but i was pretty satisfied so it was a good read !! the art style's pretty too !!

Syunrai to Mitsu

Ongoing | Retsujyo | 2019 released

i've been waiting for this to be completed and finally i got to read it !! it was definitely worth it ^^ the first part was quite painful since i don't really like seeing child abuse and the fact that they also arrested yan even though that was clearly yuen's way to protect and defend himself :(( i also felt bad to see yuen grow up to taking in sexual requests as his part-time ig, i mean there's nothing wrong with that if you really like your job but it seemed like yuen wasn't enjoying it and it may stemmed from his trauma as a child :< i don't get why yan kept his identity from yuen like girl ㅠㅠ i know he did that in order to avoid hurting yuen more but i don't get in what way :'DD but anyway i'm glad it all worked out in the end >< i was going to rate this with 5 stars but there were some stuff that was quite a blur to me and i also felt quite annoyed by the identity thingy part but i did love the ending esp when yan cleaned his name and did his best to change for the good ^^ they also took in the kids which is just adorable ㅠㅠ i wish we got to see more of their family life >< i hope there's extras :> the art style is very pretty !! this was a good read !!

Brother Complex Onii-san, Kocchi Muite

Complete | KINOSHITA Neri | 2019 released

this was pretty good ^^ i would've given it 5 stars if mitsuhara wasn't as pushy as he was ㅠㅠ the feelings felt quite forced and haru looked like he was being manipulated :'> but they turned out to be an adorable couple :)) yuki and shinji looks adorable too ^^ i'm glad haru wasn't your typical brocon who would keep his brother to himself, he also doesn't have any prejudice and gave his full support to his brother <33 mitsuhara seems like a pretty nice guy, he was very supportive to yuki, he gives great advice, and he comforts haru well but the thing is that i just felt uncomfy at some parts esp when he forcibly kisses haru at his most vulnerable state :< overall it was good ^^ the plot wasn't the most unique but it is quite new and refreshing to see :DD i'm glad everything turned out well for them and mitsuhara's students accepted him for who he is <33 wish we got to see more yuki + shinji moments hehe they seemed like an adorable couple too >< the art style is pretty !! this was a good read !!

Ai Koso Subete

Complete | Kinoshita Keiko | 2000 released

again i don't remember much but what i do remember is getting annoyed at ritsu lol i can't explain it but i think he doesn't really cherish katagiri BUT i do understand that katagiri was the one who kept pushing himself to be with ritsu so yea overall i just felt like the relationship felt forced though it did have potential ^^ i think the plot was quite unique it just needed ro be executed in a different way ig ?? but that's just my opinion !!! i think it was still pretty good, it just didn't fit my taste that much~ the art's great though i've read a lot of this author's books and i will say they do have a lot of different tropes to choose from !! ^0^ this was a good read !!

Shikijo

Complete | Iwamoto Kaoru,Toriumi Youko | 2000 released

this rating and tags are for the twins' part of the story bc the other story towards the end wasn't for me like i'm sorry but it was so toxic it kind of resembles the parents of the twins' story when they first got together which was hello very toxic :')) i didn't read much into the last part but ig good for them idk ㅠㅠ their relationship is very complicated to say the least :'> anyway the twins' story was just adorable i mean hello its children so of course it was gonna be wholesome and adorable lol~ the parents turned into a great couple and of course great parents too ^^ sensei and takao also were adorable and great guardians for the twins !! i rated it a 4 bc of the last story like i wish that wasn't included and that the whole book just focused on the kids' development but that's just an opinion so yeaaa it was okay :)) i like this author's art style bc its like the classic sharp manga art style !! (my fave) this was a good read !!

Shinigami wa Korosenai

Complete | Mikka Mita | 2000 released

i've done a speedrun read for the past few days idk why, so the reviews following will be messy and lacking bc i don't remember them that much lol anyway i think this was good one ^^ the plot was unique but i think it needed a little more push~ the development of the romance was a bit rushed on caleb's part (?) i mean not really since he didn't know what love felt like ig but what i mean was the development of the uh romantic relations HAHA but it was still pretty good !! no noncon/dubcon and i felt like their love was cute and sincere :)) i think it needs a volume 2 bc it was a mix of slowburn and not so slowburn lol~ anyway the conflict wasn't as deep as i thought ?? i thought it would be a bit more angstier but the fact that eiji waited years for him says a lot abt his feelings so i still enjoyed that ^0^ the art style is very pretty !! caleb is hot with/without the mask this was a good read !!

Seku Tsuga

Complete | SATOMARU Mami | 2018 released

i must admit this wasn't that bad, compared to its ratings this was quite enjoyable lol i think the light and comedic atmosphere made it enjoyable bc the plot was meh it was your typical omegaverse trigger heat trope but the thing is hikari was just so calm abt it and dan was very mature at how to handle the situation which is a green flag that's why it wasn't so bad ^0^ i also didn't think that hikari was annoying bc he never chose to be mated with dan you know, it was an accident and it's hikari's decision if he wants to get married or not~ but yea i'm glad they worked it out and ended up together >< the art style's pretty as well this was a good read !!

Hoka ni Riyuu Nante Nai Deshou

Complete | Sakurata momota | 2019 released

most of the ratings are for the first couple bc i liked them more ^0^ their dynamic is literally one of my faves >< its also had a bit of unique trope wherein they're both inlove with the same girl (i say unique bc they were polar opposites but they have the same taste) :> they were so cute and sweet >< i love how shu's always looking angry or pissed at tsuyoshi but on the inside they're so inlove ㅠㅠ as for the 2nd couple, i wasn't that into it bc aiji is so ??? (red flag) he has some anger issues and he's also such a jerk for using ayabe :(( but ig he changed (?) towards the end, it looked like he really loved ayabe so ig i'm happy for them bc ayabe did love him for the start :'> the art style's cute !! this was a good read ig ^^

Wadatsumi no Yometori

Complete | Monzen yayohi | 2019 released

i liked it but it was also a bit meh~ i feel like the plot was a bit forced esp on kiyo's part bc being turned immortal without his consent would've been very painful but ig i'm glad that they fell inlove (?) at the end ^^ the story of their past and esp the part where they were explaining abt the immortality of mermaids, was quite of confusing but that might be just me since i read this while i was sick lol anyway i think it was pretty interesting and unique esp the trope, but i wish i felt more of their connection bc the whole thing just felt forced :< the art's great though !! still a pretty good read
