nini's manga / #★★★★☆(214)

✰ 4/5 (ipsae + haneum ) + enemies to fubus to lovers classmates in one course! i think there's an age gap though? a "go with the flow" senior who never commits x an "unexpectedly" hot nerd (a virgin too) who falls for the former because of a kiss :)) + you know, i quite liked the prompt & dynamic if only MC wasn't so harsh on ML i just felt bad for ML the whole damn time + the pacing was also quite fast, but i really liked the time skip at the end! they ended up being in a long-term relationship good for them :> + i would love to see more of future them ^^ like how their relationship matured and all hehe maybe some character development for MC + the art style is gorgeous !! they look so goood :D

✰ 3.5/5 (jihu + dawon ) + coworkers to fubus to lovers where the ceo/boss was already lowkey crushing on his secretary while the latter loathes him even to the point of planning a way to betray him + i think the plot was pretty entertaining minus all the inappropriate dubcon stuff + their dynamic was cute & i liked how immature the ML is HAJSHJA idk why but he's so funny also, i love how much he adores his doggo! :)) + did i feel the connection? uh,,, not really lol but if it were a bit more longer, then maybe? + the art was pretty though !!! just the execution with the plot could've been better

✰ 3.5/5 (kagami + kiyomitsu ) + classmates to friends to lovers a lonely student who craves for sexual contact x a disciplinary committee student who tries to discipline MC because he's always absent + there's a blackmailing trope and more dubcon content so.... it was a bit of a turn off + the conflict with MC and his old fubu is so lame like why was the fubu suddenly so possessive when he was the one who kept on saying "no strings attached" ??? + ig the thing i liked the most about this was how ML healed a part of MC (his loneliness) not just through physical intimacy, but also just by being a good friend + i think we need extras because their relationship was starting to get good !! i feel like they ended up having a healthy one the art was pretty cute too!

✰ 3.5/5 (yuki ︎ + haru ) + omega step dad x alpha step son ??? ik, it sounds bad... age gap of 17-ish years... no grooming though! however, there was noncon :/ idk what this trope is? sudden heat trope? + so, the alpha's (MC) family gets into an accident and he's the only one that survives. the omega (ML) is related to MC's step mom (i think? not sure) so it's also not incest !!! :> + uh anyway, MC gets adopted or taken care of by ML. MC falls in love with him immediately as a child (not through grooming! just by himself ig) and so, he waited until he was 18 to finally confess and make a move! + i would say this had a typical omegaverse heat problem trope with quite a problematic set-up (noncon, of course...) but anyway, i think the couple ended up having a good relationship at the end? they even had a daughter together :)) + ik the age gap and the whole step dad & son thing are soooo weird and maybe even uncomfortable to read for some, however, i think it wasn't the worst. it could've been executed better though! nonetheless, i love the art! i also seemed to notice that this author loved writing older characters paired with younger ones (legal age!)
