Run Away, Assistant Manager Ha!

Complete | LattePanda | 2000 released

10/10 background characters Edit: I'm rereading this rn (on ch 35) as the official translation comes out and I'm enjoying it a lot more. Probably because I'm actually in the mood for an indulgent fluff fest with a rich hot bf x low self esteem cutie whose actually competent Juwon winds up becoming the fwb of the no. 1 model and fluffy shenanigans ensue. Juwon's boss is abusive and exploitative and I felt do bad for him. Aiden was very sweet and supportive. There was a bit of drama but not much and not too long. Overall, it was sweet and fluffy, but it kinda started to lose me halfway. Things just felt weightless. 6/10

Araki-kun wa Kai narasenai

Ongoing | Kapparappara | 2019 released

Been a while since I read a pure shoujo. It's a bit rushed and messy and very very cliche, but it's cute. Yakko's younger sister and mother are both big actresses so shes left alone a lot. Then the popular actor Araki shows up at her house and confesses and Yakko falls in love and theres some very minor angst and drama. Yakko's family lowkey sucks, Araki is a very enthusiastic puppy bf, and Yakko herself is a pretty generic nice girl. 5/10

Naruse Akira to Ikkai Ya Retara Ore wa Mou Shinde mo Ii

Complete | Komo | 2018 released

Very tropey nervous awkward uke x popular hot guy seme. Theres like 10 missing chapters but the story is so cliche that they dont really matter. Very white bread energy. 4/10

Gosu’s Lethan

Complete | Park dam | 2019 released

dropped at ch 3. Uke keeps saying no during sec and the seme really dont care. not interested honestly. 3/10

Safari Game

Complete | Hyeol-aeg | 2019 released

Uh light bestiality cuz the seme ruts on the uke while as a leopard. Pretty much porn without plot so ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Uke says it hurts a lot during sex which I'm not into even tho it was fine in canon 4/10

Retsujoo Oobaafuroo ~Shin'yuu Ijoo, Kareshi-miman~

Complete | HATANO Cabo | 2020 released

Omega uke has had a crush on his cool beta childhood friend. Uke goes into heat, things happen, they're now a couple. There's some angst about secondary genders and then the end. I feel like it brought up some interesting plot threads and concepts like how important are secondary genders really. And then none of them went anywhere. They solved it all with "nothing matters. You're still you." Not bad, just not interesting to me 5/10

Link in the hole

Ongoing | Monya,Salaman | 2022 released

Guy buys a magic onahole that links up to his boss's ass 5/10

What's your name?

Complete | 매트 | 2000 released

Too short to really say much about. Boy 1 stands in front of the school marking down which students have improper uniforms and this one guy has everything wrong and then they kiss everyday for a while and then it's over. 4/10 idk what to say

Interi Yakuza wa Daite Aishite, Hanasanai!

Ongoing | Hitoe mabuta | 2022 released

Uh guy gets tired from worker cuz of a rude customer and gets hired by a cool definitely not yakuza man and then they have a misunderstanding about a girl who mr not yakuza is not actually dating, theres a minor stalker plot, and then they kiss kiss fall in love and we're done 5/10

Junai Ero Ki

Complete | PSYCHE Delico | 2000 released

Dropped at ch 4. Ch 1: seme has crush on the uke. Uke says he slept with his gf. Then confesses he doesnt have a gf cuz he likes the seme. They fuck. The end. Ch 2- : glasses friend from ch 1 apparently was crushing on the uke from ch 1. Then this new guy comes to school claiming to know glasses guy and you know where this is going. Seme is super annoying and pushy, has zero respect or understanding of boundaries. Couldn't stand it so I dropped it. 3/10
