Shen Sheng
ok so omfg that was such a fun ride !!! i was so conflicted whether to rate it 4 or 5 stars bc there were some ups and downs plus tiny bits of plot holes but the ending just made up for it tbh, i really really loved that ending it was so beautiful i really got emotional <3 i think the start was a bit rocky, i remember being so comfused at ch 4 bc what was the purpose of that scenario and i dont get why it was just let go ?? shen sheng was literally beat up by cheng mu's "friends" (?) he was dying and cheng mu didnt really apologize properly and shen sheng just shrugged it off it keeps getting brought up as a joke in the late chapters which made me kind of uncomfy bc that scene was so unnecessary if im being honest or it could've been a dif scenario instead, moving on i also felt that the pacing was fast, i never really felt the development of shen sheng's feelings at first, it just sorta happened but i found them so adorable and cute after the coming chapters ngl at first i thought chen yu was cheng mu's ex i didnt realize he was talking abt his brother that was in a coma like i was so sus of chen yu bc why was he so happy when they got tgt when i was the one who misunderstood pls i love their friend group, the amount of chaos and bickering it looks so much fun to be with them i actually teared up when cheng mu's brother died even though he wasnt really talked abt much, and i also got the inkling that he was cheng mu's brother bc of the mom's hair color plus their surname :> as for the brothers i want to see more of them ngl though idk if i want them to be tgt or just stay as they are rn i mean for me the ending was perfect !! i didnt expect ch 103 at all like ik its quite cliche but i loved it :( i thought that cheng mu became a teacher bc of his brother but omg i never thought that it was bc of shen sheng ☹️ its just as cheng mu said, it was fate overall i really liked this !! i love shen sheng and cheng mu's dynamic, a serious and an outgoing but shy type >< theyre so freaking adorable <3 i just love it when cheng mu sulks and becomes clingy ^^ at first they had bad communication but it wasnt that frustrating, ok maybe it was but it got better after some time !! also i love shen sheng's reaction when cheng mu said he was gonna leave pls it was iconic !!!! i was actually thinking of not reading this bc i dont really read long webtoons with hundreds of chapters but this was definitely a worth read <3 plus the art is absolutely insane all the characters are so freaking beautiful es the chibis so freaking cute >< i wanted to see more of them after they all graduated and become established but tbh that was such a perfect ending and i loved it also i forgot to add, i loved the extra chapters in between hehe >< they were so adorable and domestic loved it

ok where do i start wtf this was so freaking good holy shit i actually never thought that it would be this good bc of the ratings like wth this deserves atleast a 9.4 rating !! i have a lot to say abt this one bc holy shit i cried the whole time istg ㅠㅠ it wasnt even that angsty but i really felt the pain that they were feeling, the author did such a great job with the dialogues it was written so well !! ok so first the plot, this was very unique for me bc i have never read a bl manga where the pairings are like this and their introduction to each other was so interesting and adorable <3 the sparks in their eyes when they both saw each other PLS !!!!! theyre soulmates i just love the development of their relationship, it wasnt fast and it felt really natural theres something abt this couple that just really made me feel the love that they have, i felt a connection with them which is why i freaking cried the whole time reading it hhshshdh i love harumoto's bubbly personality when hes with mizuta ಥ_ಥ pls the time he gay panicked when mizuta tried to kiss him I FCKING SQUEALED !!! a yakuza freaking gay panicked thats a very refreshing to sight to see but fr he was so freaking adorable :< i just love everything abt this story ☹️ they are really really inlove with each other !! i actually started crying at the part where harumoto threw the record player along with the vinyl, my heart literally broke into pieces just like the vinyl ╥﹏╥ i bursted into tears when harumoto sobbed inside the car bc holy shit that must've been so painful for him to endure :( he needed to keep a straight face even though he knew he was hurting mizuta atm which like fuck i felt that so much ☹️ he kept telling mizuta to just cherish this moment and not ask for more bc if they become greedy then maybe all of this would be taken from them :( yall im so fcking happy theyre together harumoto deserved this so much ಥ_ಥ their first time doing it felt so sensual to me, there were so many feelings and emotions in those scenes i love it so much when harumoto said that he couldn't go with mizuta to the trip, thats when i just broke down :D like i knew it was bound to happen but it just fcking hurts to read ok but you know you're with the right person if theyre willing to spend their lives with you inside of prison, just saying ^^ their moments inside the prison was the absolute cutest, they were freaking shy to each other like they were in high school or something i just love every single second of reading this oml !! also i forgot to mention how comedic the humour is in this omg hshshhs like harumoto will be saying some painful dialogues but it will have small bits of humour into it like that time where he said something along the lines of "i felt pain, not in my ass but in my chest" ffs i was crying but then i just started laughing i hate him so much also that time where mizuta was talking abt the drugs while crouching and harumoto was just staring at his butt, but mizuta interpreted it as harumoto wanting to beat him up bc he was told to by his boss but then harumoto just straight up said that he was staring at his butt waiting for mizuta to nail him which just made me fcking throw myself to the floor hhsjdjjdj that scene was quite angsty but harumoto just so overall i would say this is one of the best bl mangas that i've read, it had a great balance of angst and fluff which i really liked !! the plot was very interesting and healthy for a bl manga, there wasnt any rape/dubcon involved which is very surprising bc this is a yakuza story so i was glad abt that ❣ plus i really love stories that has cafes as its setting idk it feels really romantic and sweet to me <3 also the fact that their yakuzas but theyre dating at a cafe or watching a kids movie is just freaking adorable fuck just everything abt this is so good !!! mizuta and harumoto are so lovable, you'll really feel attached to them and both have really great personalities will finish this comment by saying thank you to the author for creating such a masterpiece, also the art looks so stunning im obsessed mizuta with/without glasses is so hot pls !!! anyway yea im inlove with this manga i hope this gets a higher rating and more people would appreciate this kind of story bc this is what i want from bl mangas, bc recently theres not much into the plot of bl mangas, the common tropes always involves rape/dubcon which is just unfortunate :( this plot had depth but it also felt quite light and very enjoyable to read

ok so im having a hard time to rate this bc im torn in giving it either 4 or 5 stars, i think plot wise it was like a 4.5/4.8 bc i really like arranged marriage plots but there were just some parts that felt a bit dramatic to me since all of this was happening while theyre still 16 and 18 year olds so i just find some scenarios a bit weird and over the top for me, also there were quite a lot of crying involved which just irked me but ig some parts were adorable <3 tbh the development of sachi's feelings were quite fast for me and i didnt really feel the connection at first but as i read they become more cute and fluffy a lot of parts felt so cringey to me which actually shocked me bc i used to love these types of mangas but after reading a bunch of other genres i just felt that my palate changed i like MLs like kouichi even though at first he might sound like a jerk bc he looks like he doesn't care abt sachi but thats bc of his circumstances and he was forced to grow up like that by his grandpa which is just sad :( i felt like there could've been more to the reconciliation of him and his grandpa bc i felt like their conversation was short and i wanted them to build their relationship more but i mean im glad that the granda finally recognized his mistakes and apologized to kouichi plus he gave them a stunning wedding ceremony i actually enjoyed reading this, i wasnt really bored and i liked their dynamic <3 i really loved the timeline type of ending pls i felt emotional it was so so cute ☹️ i just love when authors those types of endings, i think it was perfect as for sachi, i felt like she was a typical MC but im glad that she wasnt as weak and dumb as the others, shes actually very capable and smart so i really liked that abt her she was also very straightforward at times, and she always initiates communication when she feels like something's up :> all the characters are likable but ngl i still feel weird abt mizuho, im confused abt her feelings ?? she always blushes around kouichi but the author didnt explicitly say if she had feelings for him ?? i wished her and the class pres got together though, theyre quite a chaotic duo ❣ the plot was fluffy but it still had some drama and conflicts in it which i liked, i love how kouichi opened up to sachi and became more clingy to her when he finally confessed his feelings now that i've written my comment i would say that i guess i want to rate this 5 stars just bc its hard to find these types of healthy and fluffy romance with arranged marriage as its main plot :> this was a good and fluffy read + the art looks absolutely adorable
Kimi ga Kirai na Koi no Hanashi
this made me want to read shoujo again >< it was pretty cliche but gawd i love it <3 i really like pairings like this idk im like soft delinquents hihi i love chihiro, shes not your typical shy, dumb, and weak MC. shes pretty straightforward but not aggressive, idk i didnt really find her attitude annoying not like other shoujos i've read :> i love how shes smart and she never gave up on kisaragi shes an understanding person i really love her personality as for kisaragi hes quite mean but not to the point that it pisses me off, like i get why he was doing those things and it was "for the sake" of chihiro bc he didnt want her to be involved with him :> i found him quite cute esp at the last panel of ch 8, theyre so freaking adorable i squealed >< overall the plot was cliche yet still very interesting and not cringey (i tend to cringe a lot at shoujo mangas but i never cringed while reading this ❣) it had a pretty light storyline and all in all fluffy in my opinion <3 im sad though bc i found it quite short :( i wished they showed more of their relationship and they never really introduced each other to their families but still i liked it this was an enjoyable read <3 i also feel inlove with the art style !! both kisaragi and chihiro look so pretty (usually i dont like how the FC looks like but i really found chihiro pretty ) great read
Oita ga Sugiru wa Koneko-chan
ok i think this is a guilty pleasure of mine i loved it okay i love their dynamic :( theyre so freaking cute and funny together i just love how domestic and adorable they are ☹️ the cousin thing doesnt bother me as well as the age gap idk ig im just used to reading stuff with those elements involved :> overall i think the plot has a deep and emotional story but it was executed in a very light and comedic way !! you can feel the angst at times but it is mostly filled with humor :D i really liked kyuuta's personality, hes very precious and adorable !! hes the mature one out of the two if im being honest most of the comments find etsurou a pedo/disgusting but tbh i wasnt really bothered by him ?? idk why but thats the reason i called this my guilty pleasure bc i get where theyre coming from but i really had a great time reading this and etsurou's a really funny and sweet guy imo <3 i felt emotional on the part where etsurou was panicking abt kyuuta bc that must've really triggered his trauma and stuff :< im glad they finally adopted otome the cute cat, he/she is such an adorable addition to their family !! anyway so yea i really liked this !! the extras were so cute, the art looks amazing im obsessed with this author's art style and i also missed okachi machi and the gang, im glad i got to see a glimpse of them again a great and fun read ❣
Meguriau yo, Baby
omg i missed reading these types of bl mangas, not much drama and just fluff i was reluctant to read it bc the ratings were so low but bc of the comments i changed my mind and im glad i did bc it was adorable its a great story to read to past time and i just find them cute <3 there wasnt much drama which i liked bc i needed a break from frustrating bl plots ^^ overall it was good but it had some plot holes, their family situation was so confusing ?? it was portrayed in a comedic way which was funny and wholesome but if you really think abt it, his parents are acting kind of weird i cant explain it but i just feel some weird aura around them but overall they were quite amusing and adorable ❣ as for the couple, theyre absolutely adorable :> im so happy that kakei is such a respectful ML he didnt do anything to kuuya while he was drunk and he really waited until he graduated for them to do it !! i love him i wish all the MLs are like that ㅠㅠ i love kuuya's straightforward attitude, hes adorable, mature, and independent !! he wasnt your weak type of MC which im glad abt, i really liked his personality !! yea overall i liked this ~ the pacing was okay and the plot was quite common but i still liked it i also liked the art, it looks pretty a good read !!
A Kiss for Each Face
this was so good i need a volume 2 omfg atleast give us some extras bc i want to see more of them ╥﹏╥ the tease at the end please !!!! everything abt this was so interesting, i really like pairings where the target and assassin fall in love with each other bc there'll be a lot of plot twists and drama :> they were such an interesting couple !! alex is a puppy, he is freaking whipped for kanata okay >< kanata is such an interesting character, actually alex as well ^^ they're both hard to read, you wont know what theyre really thinking. also kanata's acting skills go off king :D alex is a very fun character, hes so funny yet dangerous he is indeed a real mafioso overall i really love this !! for a mafia story it wasnt that hard to understand, bc i've read a lot of mafia-based stories and most of them are hard to comprehend and theres a lot of terms to digest but for this one it was easy to understand and i really liked the plot !! though there were some parts that felt like plot holes, well theyre not really plot holes but i feel like it could've been explained further (ex. kanata's past, etc.) idk i just wanted more explanation !! also i was thinking why did kanata ask alex if he knows everything abt him at the end ?? there was a sus vibe happening but it ended cutely when alex said "secret" and kanata blushed hehe idk i just think this needs a volume 2 bc we haven't really seen their development as a real couple yet :( but still i loved this story very obsessed with the plot and the art style also alex's mafia members are so funny i love them this was a great read !!
Bending the Spoon
naurrrrr this was so so good omfg icb thats the end this is literally one of the cutest and fluffiest bl mangas i've read >< the plot was so interesting and adorable i love how the author incorporated hidaka's powers in the story !! it makes it more unique and fun to read i really love hidaka's straightforward yet shy personality !! hes so adorable <3 i love tomoki's personality as well, he acts all tough but hes actually a shy softie inside ^^ hes such a caring person i love him, every ML should look up to tomoki !!! im also glad that hidaka's father accepted their friendship (i wanted to see them tell his father abt their relationship though :<) overall this was such a fluffy and wholesome story i loved every second of reading this aaaaa ❣ it was filled with softness and sweetness i really melted ㅠㅠ i wanted more from them but the ending was quite adorable i love all of this author's works esp their art style omfg im obsessed this was such a great read (btw this was actually a reread bc i didnt get to put my comment and i already forgot most of the story, but its really worth it !! will probably reread again )
