Last Portrait
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 !!
At the End of the Road
ok so i've been putting off reading this bc the tags looked intimidating it had dark, tragedy, bullying, etc. and i cant really handle that much drama so i avoided this, but honestly it wasnt THAT bad like it had some parts that you'll really feel heartbroken and pained but it ended on a happy note so :D when i read it at first, it really piqued my interest bc i havent really read much abt body swapping stories and the plot is really interesting !! though after the whole story, i was left with a lot of questions and it just left me unsatisfied ?? idk how to explain it but like i wanted taemin to get back to his old body bc it didnt feel right but i mean ig both him and woojin are living lives that arent theirs which is also pretty interesting but anyway abt the real siwon i felt so bad for him like he just suddenly died and no one really cared abt him :( he was such a good brother :< and the fact that his brother and joohoon never regretted a thing just gets on my nerves (๑•̀д•́๑) like jiwook was actually like proud (?) when he told siwon (taemin) abt why real siwon committed suicide ?? hes so sick and twisted omfg :/ overall the plot was pretty interesting and unique !! i liked it but there were some parts that felt incomplete and i didnt like how woojin kept on kissing and touching him without consent :0 and also the fact that they knew who siwon was but they never really cared abt the fact that siwon committed suicide just bothers me :( also im a bit confused if taemin and woojin are keeping their identities hidden from their friends or not ?? bc they kept calling each other by their real names so i was confused bc we never saw them telling their friends abt their past etc. and they even called each other by name at the scene where jiwook confessed abt what he did :0 there were lots of unanswered questions thats why i wasnt satisfied but i mean this was the author's first work and for a first time its really good !! the plot was very unique and it made me feel a rollercoaster of emotions ~ i also love the art style ngl i didnt really understand the cd scenario like im still confused abt that part so i'll prolly reread hehe ^^ i mean i enjoyed it but i wish there was more closure and stuff but anyway this was a good read
Kare no Shousou to Koi ni Tsuite
i love this so much omg :( tbh i dont really read that much mangas that are 80% just straight up smut but theyre so cute and fluffy i love them ☹️ their dynamic is so unique and adorable >< ngl i didnt think it would be this fluffy bc the start of their relationship looked toxic but im glad that they have good communication !! there arent many conflicts or drama, there are some tiny issues but they have good communication so they just talk it out and have make-up sex ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ –) ngl i always kept my guard up throughout the whole story bc it was too fluffy that i was scared that there would be a sudden angsty chapter, gladly there wasnt any it was all fluff and sweetness really really love the characters !! i love how supportive kazumi's friends and family <3 i just love seeing yajima interact with kazumi's family its so wholesome :< as for the main characters, their personalities are perfect for each other ~ i really love their dynamic, they complete each other theyre both very clingy to each other the only difference is that yajima is more strict on the outside but hes actually a softie on the inside >< i love it when he sniffs and finds comfort in kazumi's sweater ಥ_ಥ hes a babie okay and i love kazumi's puppy-like personality ^^ hes like a cute little puppy that loves to cling onto his owner hihi !! even though yajima didnt say ily that many times we can really see how he valued their relationship, its so cute to see him take note of the dates on his app, he always sulks when he feels like something abt their relationship is taken lightly, etc. it just shows how much this relationship means to him and how much he loves kazumi which is so endearing ᕕ( ཀ ʖ̯ ཀ)ᕗ as for kazumi i mean its pretty obvious that hes obsessed with yajima hes always acting like a baby towards yajima which i love <3 hes just adorable :( both of them are ☹️ kazumi is one of the best semes out there, hes literally so sweet and respectful of yajima <3 they didnt start out great but im glad that he realized his feelings and put an end to what he was doing and now look at them :( there so happy with each other overall inlove with this story !!! i want more bl mangas to be this fluffy >< the plot was good !! i expected more angst bc the start had drama but everything went smoothly the development of their relationship felt natural and i love how their personalities are a match for each other i also love seeing them act so domestic and lovey dovey everyday >< this was a serotonin boost ❣ im so glad i found this gem !! also super love the art style, all the characters looks amazing such a great read, i will reread this im sure of it !!
Fall In You
this was cute !! it had a lot of potential, we need atleast 5-8 chapters to see how their relationship turned out >< but overall it was pretty good and i liked it <3 the art style is so pretty too quick but good read !!
1.5 Meters From Love
i liked it but some parts made me uncomfy :0 i really think the scene in ch 6 was noncon bc mr. chen just shoved the supposed lube (?) in yusheng's butt and continued doing it even though yusheng didnt agree to it, some are saying its with consent but idk it just feels wrong for me :( anyway overall i think it was pretty cute the start was so good and i really love the development, though the persistent confession made it look like yusheng was uncomfy like he was avoiding him ?? idk why the author made it like that bc it would've been better if they made it look like hes embarrassed abt the confession rather than making him look irritated hehe but thats just my opinion ~ i still liked the story bc it was very fluffy and cute i also love the setting bc it resembles what we're going through rn :D the art looks very pretty as well good read !! edit: uhm so i just read the sequel and im taking back my past criticism abt this bc it all made sense at the sequel hehehe, i really recommend reading the sequel so that you can understand why yusheng looked irritated or why the thing that happened in the backroom was kind of yusheng's way of testing mr. chen's feelings for him hehe !!
Kiss Prohibition
ok this was cute minus the 'doing it while sick' tropes in bl bc why ㅠㅠ ngl i felt uncomfy at that part bc it looked like dubcon but yusheng looked okay with it at the end so ig its fine ??? anyway im glad that mr. chen and yusheng got to talk and clear up the stuff abt their relationship !! ig the scene at the backroom make sense now :> i can now understand why yusheng look irritated on the first book, glad the author gave us a pretty nice sequel hehe i think this changed my perspective abt the first book, and i like it more now hehe good read !!

Honey Maple More More Sugar
this is cute <3 though im not really a fan of the meeting online stuff but this is too cute hihi but the pacing was a bit too fast, they just met and then chiitan just suddenly asked if tsumugi wanted to live together so i was taken aback by that but overall it went smoothly, im glad that tsumugi gave it some thought before agreeing and when he finally realized his feelings he agreed i also love chiitan's gap moe hes so cute !! the dolls are also so adorable theyre both so talented in making those i love how supportive chiitan's sisters are with their relationship >< i wish we could've seen more of tsumugi's family's reaction abt them living together but it ended in a very wholesome way so ☹️ i love the extra ch bc we got to see chiitan's pov and it made him 10x cuter ^^ i love how he adores tsumugi pls hes too cute overall i liked it a lot <3 love healthy relationships like this ❣ chiitan is so understanding and respectful i love him they have good communication and they are made for each other ack ♡(*´ω`*)/♡ the art style looks pretty too !! good read
Naked Sword and the Tree Peony of Black
i didnt expect it to be this good omfg >< i love this so much grrrr ㅠㅠ im so excited to read the author's other works bc this got me hooked !!! i love mafia bl in general but i love how this wasnt complicated and full of drama, it really focused on the couple's love and the build up of their relationship there wasnt any rape involved which is *chef's kiss* bc a lot of mafia bl always includes stuff like that im so glad that this was pretty wholesome and cute for a mafia centered plot i love how the author gave us two volumes with the first showing touma's feelings and the second one showcasing kuroi's ngl i thought it was gonna a toxic relationship at first bc touma himself acknowledged the fact that he was had a stalker-like love for kuroi but i do understand that he did that to keep him close to him (but im not excusing his actions !!) i didnt really get pissed at tokiya bc i thought of him as an instrument to make touma reassured with kuroi's feelings and kuroi was actually using him for that same reason !! i just love the plot its so good im glad that kuroi finally caved in and accepted his feelings for touma ^^ ik he was just trying to protect him but of course pushing him away would be much more painful not just for touma but for him as well :< im so glad their love is finally mutual !!! they are so domestic and i love the extras the author gave us >< i love seeing their schedule that was so freaking adorable also i didnt expect kuroi to be the power bottom omfg i love it !!!! hes always so cool <3 i love their dynamic ❣ i love seeing touma get shy or blush whenever kuroi does something that shows affection towards him pls hes so cute ╥﹏╥ both of them look so stern and scary but both of them turn soft when theyre with each other im sad ☹️ im obsessed with them ಥ_ಥ their subordinates esp hanada are so supportive and funny i love them !!! this manga is also very comedic as well as the author's notes pls theyre so funny overall i love this story, i found another masterpiece the plot is so good and smooth, the pacing is good too !! the characters are lovable and adorable we got to see the couple's past and the development of their relationship was well done ❣ i want more from them but tbh im actually satisfied with this <3 they both look so happy and thats all that matters the art looks amazing all the characters look stunning i will definitely reread this !! such a great read im glad i found this
