Shinobeba Koi

Complete | yukue moegi | 2014 released

Bro they're adorable . I love relationships that have complicated emotional backstories. They've both been in love with each other for 10 years but the complicated feelings surrounding how they met and fell out made it hard for them, especially Toranosuke, to express their feelings. I love that by the end Tora figures out how to say wahst on his mind. There are so many little things about these two that are amazing. I love the whole thing with the rings. And also FINALLY a story that doesnt use rape, assault, or kidnapping ro create drama. The characters themselves have enough complicated feelings to make this an interesting story 9/10. Might be a 10/10 and not just cuz I'm a sucker for cool, gentle guys on motorcycles but the girls kinda sucked in this so I gotta think on it

last read ch 12. MAL says there's 25 chaps so ima stick this in the read pile but keep notifs on. Aww! that's so cute!! Can be seen as platonic if you're like me and really wanna see some cute, fluffy, close platonic relationships, but it's also got a lotta BL trope and vines doe those who wanna see it as such. Guy's boss turns into a cute chibi version of himself when he gets stressed. This boss also likes sweets. Super comforting, iyashikei energy. orange. name on MAL is Ore no Joushi ga Elite nanoni Hetare Kawaii

Listen the penguin shows up in this girls fridge and everyone just rolls with it and I think that's beautiful 8/10

Eigyou Nika!

Complete | kanai kei | 2014 released

"I either pet you or I die! This is the state I am in!!" - seme. Truly peak comfort read material old married couple of the whatever department they're in. it's got the good ol' gay uke in love with his straight senpai with the "Don't wanna confess and ruin what we have" trope AND the "he's straight so he can marry a woman, have kids, and live the mandated nuclear family happy life" trope. There's a misunderstanding as characters jump to understandable conclusions, and there's lots and lots of cheesy, heart-warming fluff 8/10

Joou to Shitateya

Complete | Scarlet Beriko | 2013 released

Well would ya look at that. Character growth and healthy communication my two favorite tropes lol. But seriously, I love that the seme starts out kinda bratty but genuinely makes an effort to change and express his feelings in a healthy way. Same with the uke, who's always been the perfect boyfriend but wont be taken care of himself. But now he's learned to let himself be spoiled just a bit. Is adorable. (*˘︶˘*).。.:*♡ so shoutout to that dark haired senpai at the seme's work. She was a boss. 8/10

Full volume

Complete | 알버트,albert,양은지,yang eun ji | 2019 released

Ima just... leave the timeline of my comments as they are. Currently foll0wing the side story (ch 107) and not really liking it. The brother is a bit more... well... I wish this was a separate upload so I could rate these differently. Dojin's possessiveness is a no go for me Update ch 13. Very smutty but surprisingly cute so far! Even better--the dialogue feels like real people are talking and the art direction is solid Update ch 20. LMAO the here's johnny meme Update ch 34. THE FANFIC they actually read it omg "So much literary a analysis for a porn fic" LMAO BEOM YOU'RE KILLING ME Update ch 49. Don't like the possessiveness I'm seeing from Dowon here. Listen, no one needs or deserves to be confined to just one person. That's just toxic Update ch 50-51. 10/10 BDSM smut here Update ch 66. Been feelin a bit mmmmmmmmm with these recent episodes. I want Beom to get out and I also REALLY dont want Dowon to go full possessive crazy seme... I like Dowon infinitely more when he has those gentle expressions Update ch 69. He chose the wholesome option! Also YASS sue that motherf*cker. This is such a satisfying villain take down Update ch 72. Lmao the actually broke the bed

Melt at Night

Complete | Taga | 2019 released

bigger uke. i don't remember anything. gave it a 6/10 so i guess it just wasn't memorable to me. EDIT: past me was dumb. This is adorable bro. Salaryman uke has mad anxiety about sex and has had his confidence horribly eroded by a previous boss. After he meets the outgoing call boy and starts "practicing sex" hes able to talk to his coworkers for the first time and it's really, really sweet. The seme has a bit of a possessive streak, but hes mostly just supportive and encouraging and sweet. Also shoutout to the scary boss lady for immediately apologizing for being cranky at him for her own mistake. 8/10

Kazoku Ni Narouyo

Complete | KURAHASHI Tomo | 2016 released

This is so sweet and fluffy AAAAAAHHHHH I love everything about this. Kazuma and Chiaki have been daring since high school. Suddenly their childhood friend Tomoe turns up pregnant and then asks them to care for the kid while she goes on a humanitarian trip. Its irresponsible of her, but the whole situation just works. Kazuma and chiaki are amazing dads and Tomoe still manages to be a good mom if an unconventional one. The whole story is kinda about them raising the kid together, all three of them, in their own weird adorable way. And they have lots of support from family and friends. I love it. 9/10

Love So Pure

Complete | PlanB | 2000 released

Hands down most impressive part is how the story and characters still managed to have fun and be happy despite all the heavy, dark, and often violent lives they had to live. They all hang out and talk to each other about their problems. Everyone gets character development that helps them become happier. They're just one big supportive family in the end and I love them. Update ch 17. Dude this girl fucking sucks. You dont just out people like that and what the hell did she mean by "wants to do that" after watching someone else's nonconsensual sex tape WTH Update ch 34. I genuinely was not expecting to Sohae's character growth. A lot of it obviously happens off screen but I went from hating this girl to being sympathetic to laughing at her dynamic with the new group. I love Yosef being so crassly supportive and just chillin on the couch while they discuss how Jihyun should confess to Yohan. The characters lives and history are so heavy yet they're so fun. I'm scared for season 2. Pls just let them be happy Update ch 54. HELL yeah season 2 is about yosef and daeshik! Bruh yosef is so gentle and massive his hand is as wide as Daeshik's waist Update ch 87. They are a TEAM! They are FRIENDS! They are WORKING together and getting THERAPY and IMPROVING their COMMUNICATION and EXPRESSING THEMSELVES and I'm so fucking happy and why they hell is there still 20 chapters bro I'm scared pls just let them be happy Update ch 113. BRO I LOVW THEM ALL SO MUCH!!! All their silly little antics, the fact that they're all such sweet friends, all of it! Maybe my one complaint is that everyone got paired romantically in the end, and it felt unnecessary. One of these days we'll get aro / ace rep. Also gimme scruffy Yosef back I liked his longer hair 9/10 but seriously debating a 10/10
