✰ 5/5 (hiroki + shintaro ) + MC who's a convenience store clerk + ML who's a gym instructor >< love at first sight for ML! he's such a simp ISTG SO CUTE + i LOVE LOVE their relationship! it was so natural! your typical random strangers who just fell for each other <3 + the pacing was sooooo good! there was a bit of miscommunication, but they were able to talk about it properly which improved their communication between one another + their dates were so adorable :')) i badly wanna see more of their domestic side (╥﹏╥) + the art style is gorgeous tooo! this author's works are very wholesome and most of them have healthy relationships too ^^ i'm so obsessed with how realistic this one was

✰ 5/5 (leo + shin ) + another childhood friends to lovers! this one sting a bit i'm so glad we had a happy ending after almost 2 years of waiting for updates! + mutual pining, yet again! >< they are both just so precious :(( their relationship was so heartwarming. it's so sad that people have these prejudices which made MC anxious of the feelings they had for e/o + they broke up for a bit, HOWEVER! they managed to fix it guys !!!! don't worry, it has a sweet ending + i love how supportive yukarin is !!!! she is such a queen <3 i'm also happy that the MC got the reassurance he needed from his family ^0^ + the art style is very pretty & adorable i've always loved how soft and warm this author's characters and story feel it always brings comfort for the readers :>

✰ 5/5 (for the first story only) (luna + nox ) + might be my new fave het couple ever centuries old vampires !!! and they're madly in love (bonus: they're kinky living on earth for a long period of time can be boring) + it's such an interesting story! very unique concept ^^ i wanted this to be even longer but i think the ending fit it pretty well :)) + the visuals are INSANITY !!! my bisexuality peaked while reading this i can't get enough of how pretty they look !!!! + i'm interested in their back stories too,,, like how they became vampires, or how was their life while raising a human baby LIKE GOD i yearn for this couple + anyway, i hope we get extras or maybe some official art from the author because i just love their dynamic they're deeply in love with each other :(( oh, to have a love like theirs.

✰ 5/5 (hikaru + shinobu ) + sort of enemies? to lovers trope hehe & they were coworkers! one that is popular at work x timid and the complete opposite (but actually has a secret popular side off work!) + healthy couple !!!! ik they're already together, but i think they're also in some kind of slow burn~ they still haven't explicitly confessed to e/o so ‍ + they're dynamic, along with the side characters, was pretty fun to read ^^ i love how supportive their friends are + this was actually a reread, and i gotta say, i appreciated it more this time around since the second season gave more life to their relationship + i'm looking forward to the next volume (apparently, there's a new volume coming up!) :)) i hope it gets translated soon hehe the art style is amazing, as always!

✰ 5/5 (sak + lima ) + apocalyptic setting! caller x core user (supernatural genre) & very psychological too :)) it's like a destiny type of trope? something to do with connections like a red string of sorts + might be my new fave manhwa i've read recently the amount of plot twists ???? the story was so well-made! i got hooked which made it even faster to finish! (i didn't want it to end ) + i must admit, there were still a few loopholes that didn't have any concrete answers but ig i'm just glad the two MCs finally got some kind of peace, although they're pretty much still on the run :(( + i have lots of questions about the whole epidemic and like the real goal of the research institute because they were so secretive... i'm also curious about the other two guys who just kept popping up randomly like idk what their characters were supposed to be? + i really liked how refreshing this concept was! the writing was so poetic and i just think the mystery that comes with how the story ended also gives it more flavor! the art style is amazing too! love the pop of color whenever they introduce a new scene/character~ + i also want to point out how the MCs never exchanged "ILYs" because they had their own ways of doing so? and, it felt even more genuine since they entrusted their lives to one another

✰ 5/5 (torikai + yajima ) + rivals to lovers! they're both firefighters too~ coworkers + neighbors (coincidentally ) love love their dynamic! <3 + i've grown to love this couple tbh, they had a rocky start. but, they eventually started to open up which led to them being officially together + i like how their chaotic dynamic never changed even after being bfs! >< though, i can see that they became a bit softer and sweet to one another which is adorbs they admire e/o a lot :)) + i'm glad the 2nd volume addressed some past "issues" which made them communicate and have a better understanding of one another i also like seeing the ML open up more! i hope he soon reciprocate the MC's "ILYs" + i'm so seated for the upcoming sequel i would love to see more domesticity from them !! maybe they'll even start living together soon this author never fails to make amazing stories with the most beautiful art

✰ 5/5 (koichi + kumazawa ) + enemies (kind of) to fubus to lovers! >< they're also neighbors !!! straight vlogger/streamer x gay mechanic hehe + i love them so much :')) i absolutely adore their dynamic + started off with bickering, a kiss to shut him up, and the rest was history + they have a very healthy relationship & they're so domestic :(( i need MOREEEEE i badly wanna see the raws for volume two + the art is soooo pretty i love how their aura & character design contrasts with each other hehe they complement one another

✰ 5/5 (kanade + mashiro ) + classmates to friends to estranged? to friends again to FINALLY lovers! reencounter trope hihi + oh, how pure they are :(( this relationship >> they might not be perfect, but they completely healed each other's hearts + i love how they both learned how to understand love through being with each other. and they even got to fully love their true selves because of it too + i love the pacing! the domesticity! the supportive friends & family (well, most of them) + the conflicts are very realistic & easily dealt with as they have good communication with one another <3 the art style is extremely adorable too i'm very much seated for the 4th volume :)) their relationship started because of a cat, so i hope they adopt a cat soon

✰ 5/5 (angel + josh ) + one night stand gone wrong? strangers to coworkers to fubus to lovers germaphobe lawyer x newly hired custodian who happens to be the lawyer's ONS partner :)) almost forgot to mention, they have a 10-year age gap + quite a refreshing pairing ^^ i've never read a couple with this kind of dynamic before and surprisingly, they actually fit together! their personalities are a complete contrast with one another, and yet they still make sense~ + i must admit, they had a rocky start, but they eventually communicated (that's how it ended ) i liked all the characters—except that one asshole, of course. they were all well-rounded and had their own quirks even though they were only side characters! + i looooove the side stories !!! i will always be obsessed of time skips i love seeing how their relationship blossomed i love how they both have a balance of softness and possessiveness toward each other >< + after the period of miscommunication, i really loved the sudden public confession HAHAHA they became so vulnerable with each other after that i'm just so obsessed with how their love for one another grew :(( not to mention, the art style is so gorgeous !!!! dibs on elena hihi

✰ 5/5 (seonwoo + taemoon ) + coworkers to fubus to lovers !! super silly couple istg an employee who loves to fantasize about his handsome coworker (he's a virgin LMAO) x the said coworker who's actually promiscuous and also secretly the ceo's son of a rival company + the funniest couple to ever exist actually ???? they never run out of goofy misunderstandings HAHAHA they're both just made for each other :)) + you'd think this would just be lighthearted and funny all throughout the story, but as the plot progressed, you'll get a glimpse of their characters' struggles and how they've both grown into better people by being together + everything started with sex, but the actual romance and bond between them had a good pacing !! it was like a slow burn tbh i also feel like they also had the "he fell first (seonwoo), he fell harder (taemoon) trope it's refreshing to see how the used-to-be fuck boy is now the one asking the loyal one to go on romantic dates & what not >< + i love how their dynamic never changed even after being together they're still as goofy as ever! they love pissing e/o off i also love the way they simp for one another HAHA they're equally down bad for their partners and with that, i'm very much seated for the upcoming side stories !!!! i love the art as well the moscareto & okdong tandem never fails to deliver
