The Art of Taming A Tiger
100/10 loved it! It's shounen ai and the feelings are there. I loved the characters soo much they felt soo dear to me and the creator has done a marvelous job of fleshing them out and writing this. Well the last season did feel a little quick to wrap with some loose ends(nothing super major) but then it's understandable. What i really loved were the characters: i loved how they were true to their age, non egotistical guys who weren't the OP cold face type or snarky sassy ones who can't apologize- these two Beom Jin and Yoon were adorable. Ones 19 and other's 22 ( Western age) and I liked how they got that in their personalities and mostly how their bgs/past affect how they are today. Beom being alone, different, orphaned at a young age and figuring his life out at the tender age shows amazing emotional range as he's not afraid to voice out his pain/fears and how much this all affects him. His youth is drawn out so beautifully and he's such a good guy like i love him. Yoon too, alone, lost his brother but man does he too communicate and face and feel his sorrows. This couple communicated! Like from the start- there were no misunderstandings for timepass, no constant fights for drama which could've been avoided, their love story was pretty organic and well paced as well which surprised me since I got into this even without reading the summary. Overall definitely reread material. A GEM!

What do I say! I love it. I felt loved reading this especially the second story which had more of developing pace but loved the first one as well as a set up :)) But the art style is adorable and lovely, I loved how you feel and see the love without any obvious explanation or plot point of it. I just felt comforted and warm and so happy especially the bond between Me. black hair and Mr. grey hair. So cute and basically like a "toasty hot chocolate with a wool blanket" mood the whole time I read this. Loved ittt

An interesting concept for gender bender- a lot of internal monologue i presume of people exploring their sexuality is expressed as a physical thing instead which I found a little smart and a fun take. The whole "is my heart also like a girl's now" "I can only do this as a girl etc" really also touched on the whole confusion you feel when you've been get for a long time and slowly exploring the queer spectrum. Also, the consent in this oneee

Platonic love Exhausted and slightly depressed young salaryman x kid who says that he's the man's deceased dog's reincarnation (that was a mouthful) A bond of healing, it's ongoing but I love it so far. NGL I cried whenever I saw Tomoki talk about work and Leo healing him by just being there as a friend:'))
