Dropped at ch 3. I dunno. Not into. Got kinda annoyed ¯_(ツ)_/¯ -/10

Lmao gangster cats. Was pretty fun, very shonen cliche-y for those who are into that, and had a surprisingly heartfelt but bittersweet ending. I hope our MC gets his found family happy end someday 5 or 6/10 it had its moments but like every shonen I was starting to get battle fatigue by the end. Comments are saying there may be more volumes so I'm keeping notifs on

Last read ch 6. Lowkey confused cuz I though ch 1 said they were dating?? But no?? Anyway, very fluffy, a little dumb, and I dont love the character designs. But still enjoyable so far Update ch 6. Wait, was that the end? 5/10?

That was... fast? Unexpectedly cute but also kinda bad? Idk? Feelings? Confuzzled? Uke gets kinda sold to a yakuza guy by his boss. He and yakuza seme get fucking and uke is pretty into it. Uh. Uke keeps trying to fuck other guys bc hes all angsty like seme has a gf but seme repeatedly shows up to stop him and then they angry fuck? 5/10? Yeah?

Guy runs into his old classmate who's always been an aloof asshole. Keeps running into him and the seme keeps kinda prying into his past. Their relationship starts off very terse and almost combative. Both of them initially hope the other is more miserable than themselves. I'm sad the hamster wasn't more relevant. She's only in a few scenes but shes so ROUND. I need more hamster! Overall thoughts tho. Didn't really enjoy it. Its just not what I want to read rn I guess. I may have misread it since it was late af, but characters were all kinda nosy but with a feeling like they wanted to amuse themselves? Also the teacher was kinda a creep? Who runs I to a former student and then begs them to let you stay there? Don't you have other people closer to you? And then also prying into basically a strangers sec life? Weird. The story does feel grounded, but the characters feel isolated. It left me feeling like... depressed for some reason. Idk. This one wasn't it for me. Sorry. 4/10

Teasing office guy (uke) notices his normaly stoic coworker (seme) has a crush on him and they start going out. Seme is very pure and wants to at least have one date before sex. Yeah this was boring for me. Generically cute. Very standard plot. Very standard family drama that gets resolved in one conversation. Very standard "it's all thanks to you." ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 5/10. Would've been a 4 for being boring but the relationship is pretty healthy and consensual

Uh uke's old love is his new coworker. Uke's boss who hes currently fucking locks them in a "cant leave until you fuck" room that he magically build in their office building. 4/10 did not like the vibes

Dropped at ch 1. Well that escalated quickly. (I say that as most BL doesn't) Another childhood friends that are secretly in love with each other and also very dumb and they have sex to graduate from virginity I've read enough similar stories that I don't feel like continuing. Uke is a dumbass airhead. Seme is an expressionless cool guy and is pretty manipulative. -/10, cant really rate but that first chapter gets a 4/10.

Uke can read minds and knows his kinda friend had a crush on him. There a bit of light drama and interference from uke's overprotective brother. Also the seme is very awkward and a bit... air headed? Is that the right descriptor? Idk. Either way, he's earnest but a little too like "omg does this mean he likes me" kinda energy, which is not my cup of tea. Also its unclear if the uke is really romantically interested in the semenuntil the very end, so hes kinda leading the seme on for that while 5/10

Guy comes home to his fiance aboutta sleep with the seme, leaves, seme chases after him. He moves in with seme because sure, and then BL happens. Seme seemed sus at first but so far it's looking like it was just a classic BL plot ass-pull so we good. Also there is a minor stabbing, because of course. Pretty cliche plot. Just kinda whatever for me. 4/10
