Hosik's story
sigh... i don't like the couple's dynamic at all. the top is a pushy, controlling, manipulative asshole. the bottom is an airheaded doormat. when they fight they don't resolve the issue because the top keeps deflecting and acting like he's the one being wronged (he's not) while the bottom can't use his words nor stand up for himself. and the way they both aren't fleshed out characters makes the romance all the more unconvincing. i thought we'd be getting a bit more depth as we go further along the plot but there's nothing. zero chemistry whichever angle i look at it from. 3 stars are for the uniqueness of the art. and also because i kinda adore hosik a little..... and also because they can be the ideal healthy couple sometimes DAMMIT i'm feeling conflicted now edit: nvm guys i fucking bawled my eyes out at the side stories. my rating is raised from 3.5 stars to 3.8 ≈ 4 stars!
Complex Laboratory
i didn't expect to read the best character development from the silliest of BL mangas! i really REALLY loved the MC here. his apology is one of the most genuine, heartfelt, and proper i've ever read in BL history, where he actually addressed the fact that his words hurt the other person, AND then he actually took effort to let the person in into his life by being honest and decisive with his feelings thoughts. THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME TSUNDERE MY GUY. he uses his brain and he doesn't take 30 freaking chapters being in denial!!! as for the ML, he supports MC in his every endeavor and is very sincere in his admiration. their conversation after the science fair made me cry. these two adore each other so much and THAT made me adore them even more. uuwwaaaaaaa i can't express how i love this so much, I REALLY DO, I REALLY LOVED IT!!!

I see So this is what i've been seeing on twitter. Honestly surprised at how well this was written It's comedic with a solemn art style... if that makes sense Plot was packed with emotions even if it was really short I have some thoughts i'd like to keep to myself...cough Though basically i'm just looking forward to see more of kyoji and satomi together in the future ^^
Meteoric Milky Night
