Lion and Venus
cute, your typical yakuza bl, but make it omegaverse too, pacings alright but a bit fast overall but it is a short manga tbh, we need more goofy looking ukes with glasses but also we did not need this to be incestuous for like half a chapter??? author tryna jumpscare me with incest just to have them say sike in the next chapter
Off Track
Snowmtl for 42 This is like so fucking good idky I really like how this plot doesn't follow the usual fnatasy romance of him just giving in and telling him evth, love how Gunma's this realistic dude who makes bad choices and is a bit dumb, I love Teo's character as well everything he says and does is lowkey fair (apart from rape he could of gone abt it in a mill diff ways but that) but he's generally a multi dimensional character which I like. Not used to the strange dynamic between J and gunma bc im used to the background duo being comedic relief but I like where it's going and love how even a side character is quite multi dimensional. Love crystal's character too, crazy girl. Only criticism is how as soon as crystal teases, J immediately tells her Gunma's whole backstory like I feel like that's so dramatic/unnecessary but alr. I alos LOVE how the snaky Dan is being used to aid the plot, he's not just this random asshole that usually only aids in the romance but this time he's a smart guy who's aiding the actual plot. Very interesting take on spy x guy being spied trope, I look forward to seeing how they write his brother's potential return. Glad I never bothered to read spoilers bc I thought the english officials would never come out. edit: I get way too easily satisfied whenever I read sth in one go holy shit, is it just me or is the dialogue getting cornier in this and idk the whole buildup to his brother's return feels sudden to me or I lack clarity over the situation right now (ch 49) 5-> 4 stars
Kiss Me If You Can
We'll see how this progresses but because it's an adaptation there are clear areas in chapters where U can tell the original novel probably delved much more into the transition between scenes or emotions, but here many events R very sudden + sex is being introduced all of a sudden despite Josh being previously very careful, there's a clear lack of transition between his states of feelings so uhm yh. BUT despite allat evth is rly cute and I like the premises, wish the bit about the mini romances between all the bodyguards wasn't added in so randomly here, perhaps the novel made it see more natural bc Henry and Eric seem fun
