Hello Morning Star

Complete | Kurahashi Tomo | 2000 released

omg i didnt know atsuto had his own story >< im so glad we finally get to see it ❣ if im being honest i find this much more interesting and fun rather than the first story bc there were some uncomfy parts there which im glad arent included here :D this plot is quite common but i cant get enough of it ^^ i keep wanting to read rivals to lovers tropes <3 but what makes it more interesting is the fact that they were actually in a relationship before but then they broke up :> i love the tiny bit of angst and drama that it has i really love their dynamic >< atsuto's personality seems a bit different here ?? idk why but ig its bc its been a long time since i read the first manga but i felt a different vibe from him here (meant it in a positive way) apparently theres still a second volume to come so im excited to see what unfolds in the future esp when the author adds the atsuto's brother hehe, i want to see the interactions !!! for now im giving it a 5, it might change after the second volume, we shall see but so far im really into this

The Man in the Mirror

Complete | Yukibayashi,Hisamatsu Eight | 2000 released

this was so good i want more of them ackkkk <3 the plot is so perfect omfg im obsessed with this the plot felt so poetic and deep but at the same time it was light and fun to read the author really emphasized the mirror and its deeper meaning within the story which i liked ❣ i really love their dynamic >< i love how shaal's not the jerk type of king, hes just a lonely soul :( but now he finally found his happiness in sal ㅠㅠ i mean both of them were lonely and trapped, they both had big responsibilities to shoulder so im glad that now theyre facing those burdens together and living happily i just love it whenever shaal says encouraging words to sal ╥﹏╥ hes so freaking supportive and caring, everyone needs a shaal in their lives he never fails to compliment sal in whatever he does ^^ i love them so much ☹️ the last part made me really emotional, just looking at their happy faces gave me a serotonin boost (❁´◡`❁) they deserved it :( overall this was such a great story, its so hard to find mangas with plots like this im glad i got to read this !!! the plot was so good, it had some humour in it, there was drama and conflicts (but it wasnt the frustrating type), the pacing was in the middle like it was kind of slow but not that slow (if you get what i mean) idk what else to say bc i just really love this >< i was hoping to see an extra but the ending was so satisfying that im ok with it the art was absolutely stunning all of the characters look gorgeous !!! i also love dark skinned characters i just think they look amazing esp with how good the art style is everything abt this was so good !! this was such a great read <3 will prolly reread it !!

At 25:00, in Akasaka

Ongoing | hiroko natsuno | 2000 released

omfg i love them ㅠㅠ this is so freaking good !! and its still ongoing holy shit >< im excited for volume 3 i hope we can see more of their development and i want to see them exhange "i love you"s ngl im not really into the sex friends trope but if we take asami's feelings into consideration, he suggested that bc he liked shirisaki so ヾ(^-^)ノ i love how respectful asami is, he really said consent i really like the flow of the story !! shirisaki is so cute esp his straightforward attitude hes so feisty and shy at the same time i love him ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚ i love every single character in this story, sakuma is such a fun friend i love him !! tbh i didnt really hate yamase, hes a very fun addition to the characters ~ idk what awaits us for volume 3, prolly some drama/conflict to strengthen their relationship ?! welp i cant wait for the upcoming volumes also i want to mention that the art style gets better every chapter like omfg all the characters look so hot this is such a great find i love them !!!!

Kimi ni Ienai Koto ga Aru

Complete | mofumofu edako | 2019 released

this is so freaking good oml ㅠㅠ just the right amount of pain and happiness ~ the plot was very well written, i really love the dialogues !! i love how the author made it look like shiina was longing for kasumi (i mean which he is) but it was actually kasumi who confessed and got rejected by shiina ಥ_ಥ sorry im not really good at explaining but what im trying to say is i didnt expect it to be like that, i was thinking of the best friend unrequited love trope but in this case they are mutually pining for each other o(╥﹏╥) ik from the beginning that shiina prolly had a reason as to why he rejected kasumi bc he looks like a very open-minded person but bc he grew up in a very strict and perfectionist family he thought that if he accepted kasumi's love then he could "corrupt" him as well, which like fcking hurt me bc its so sad to see someone have that mindset bc thats what was ingrained to them by their parents theres nothing wrong with loving someone :( the plot was so realistic and it really hits you hard ╥﹏╥ i usually dont like angsty mangas but this manga made me want to read angst bc i love how it ends on a happy note !! it just feels satisfying to read <3 overall the plot was amazing it was very well made !! the pacing was so good as well gawd >< even though this was just a short manga, we really got to see both of the MCs past and how their love came to be which made it feel so complete i wish we got to see more of them after being official but the ending was so good ❣ i love seeing their happy and contented faces ㅠㅠ this is a masterpiece !! it deserves a higher rating ^^ also the art looks amazing i love the chibis so adorable (↑ω↑) this was such a great read and i really regret avoiding this manga i avoided this bc everyone in the comments were crying and as i said earlier, i dont really like reading angsty mangas but now i think i want to venture that path bc this was too good not to read !!!!!

Ore to Joushi no Koi no Hanashi

Complete | Nanameguri | 2019 released

this was a pretty adorable and wholesome read !! i really love how fun and light it is mr. furuya's past gave the story a bit more depth and angst but the story overall was pretty cute and comedic ❣ ngl i didnt really like ch 5, it had the whole dubcon stuff which i didnt really expect to happen (also ch 5 is not the main couple, its a whole different oneshot) so i suggest not reading ch 5 ヾ(^v^)ノ moving on, i really really love the all the characters' personalities !! i love how supportive their coworkers are, esp mr. furuya its so adorable whenever he smiles i love him ^^ i love tomoaki's straightforward personality, ngl the pacing felt a bit fast but i think it took months (manga time) till he confessed to chikashi overall the plot was really good !! didnt expect such a wholesome story from looking at the cover i wanted to see more of them though :( we didnt get to see them go on many dates so im kinda sad abt that but the end was so freaking adorable i just love domestic couples ㅠㅠ i also really love their dynamic theyre like tom and jerry but romantically inlove i just love how strict chikashi is at work but then he gets all bubbly and clingy after they get off work >< i almost forgot to mention that i really liked how the author gave us different povs of the each character :) i like to see dif povs in a story and the author really did a good job on it here ❣ this was such a nice read, i'll prolly reread this again bc it was so sweet and adorable plus the art looks amazing i love the chibis and chikashi's smile omfg hes gorgeous !!! great read

We Are Not Familiar

Ongoing | Tao-Li | 2000 released

ok so imo this is one of the best shoujos i've read with a contract relationship trope, i really love erin and henry's dynamic !! theyre so so funny and they werent the cringey type of couple ^^ they are so adorable and we really got to see the development of their relationship tbh the ending felt rushed and incomplete for me bc why are we getting greg's past just now what was the purpose helpsnjsjd but anyway the overall story was very light and fun to read <3 theyre one of the couples that i really looked forward to reading every week so i didnt expect the abrupt ending D: i wish we could've seen more of erin and henry's relationship rather than making us feel bad for greg :< i mean im happy they explained the backstory but why was that the ending that could've been put in earlier chs but i still loved the story !! i really love the pacing of this story, it didnt feel fast nor slow as well (i think it took a year ?? in the story's timeline before they got tgt) <3 the couple are so funny and cute, they always bicker with each other i love it theyre both strict at work but clingy with each other at home :( sad hours ㅠㅠ there also werent that much drama but the thing im pissed abt is deborah i dont get her (°д°) like shes literally erin's best friend why does she keep on getting in between her and henry ಠಿ_ಠ like ik its bc she wants greg to be with erin but girl thats your friend's happiness and lovelife why tf would u meddle in it (๑•̀д•́๑) i almost forgot to mention that there were also some parts that were left under the rug, like abt erin's past trauma with her parents, as well as henry's thats why i really think this felt rushed bc those werent addressed :< anyway enough of my rant so yea overall, really liked the story !! its a really good romcom story, wish the ending could've been longer and better but it still was a great read also the art looks stunning all the characters look stunning

Young Good Boyfriend

Complete | dayoo | 2000 released

i really love reading sequels of a stable couple omfg this is so fluffy and wholesome i just love to see them grow up together and be all domestic and cute :( this was so freaking good !!!!! ngl i wanted to see some couple rings >< but overall this is such a good sequel a break from all the drama and conflict, i mean there wasnt that much conflict in the prequel but i just love sequels like this where its just a compilation of the couple's romantic rendezvous freaking obsessed with how sweet this is, will prolly reread !!! love their dynamic <3 ngl i didnt expect mizusawa to be a doctor, but omfg it suits him so well ackkk >< i almost teared up at the last chapter bc i cant imagine how overwhelming it feels to realize that the one you loved for years has bow been with you for more than a decade ಥ_ಥ so happy for sensei and mizusawa theyre so cute and perfect for each other :( also the art looks amazing great read !!

Last Portrait

Complete | Honma Akira | 2005 released

i've got to say abt this bc this was so freaking good i didnt really expect much bc of the rating but omfg yall this is so so good !!! this is not your typical bl plot istg ㅠㅠ the angst in both stories im so into it grrrr >< ok so for the first story, i really like arranged marriage plots in general but this was a bit dif from that since yamato is inlove with the guy his sister is arranged to which is so interesting esp how we got to see how their relationship unfolds !! ngl i did already expect that type of scenario leading up to the end but i still really really liked it ^^ the execution of it is so good, i really liked how the author incorporated yamato's love for art as the bridge between him and sakaguchi (idk how to explain it but you'll get what i mean when u read it ) im glad that nobody was hurt in the process and yamato's sister was actually inlove with somebody else as well :D the ending was so freaking cute :( i love them !! ngl i wanted to see more but i was actually satisfied with its ending !! just seeing them happy and living their life without shackles gives me serotonin ok now onto the second couple, omfg i freaking love them ㅠㅠ i think i like them more than the first one just bc it had more plot twists and the amount of angst and tension i felt in the short amount of pages were amazing like i didnt expect that much story in just a few pages !! i was legit gonna cry when narumi confessed bc ik it wont end well and that he'll prolly live in sadness of keith gets executed :( but omg im so glad that it wasnt keith, i had a gut feeling that it wasnt gonna be keith but i didnt expect joerge to be the real culprit like i was legit crying bc i felt kind of attached to him idk why (╥﹏╥) he looked so nice and he felt like some father figure, it was such a shock to me ☹️ anyway im so so happy for narumi and keith they look so cute together >< i just love police bl idk why theres something abt it that intrigues me im so glad that theyre now partners both at work and in their personal lives hihi ^^ i wish we could've seen more of them dating and stuff but overall i was pretty satisfied with the ending !! both stories are a masterpiece as well as the art style i'll prolly reread this such a worth it read !!
