Hmm. I dunno, both character were pretty frustrating to me but I cant explain why. Also, this is just a personal gripe, but I always get frustrated with mooches but at least Misaki can do housework 4/10, nothing really wrong with it, it just irked by and I cannot explain why

Ameagari no Bokura ni Tsuite

Complete | Rakuta shoko | 2019 released

The women in this one suck, but I guess that's common in BL. Lame. The relationship was very cute. Both seme and uke had massive insecurities. The semes stems from his codependent, over attached mom. I wasnt expecting that tbh. Also, the cover scammed me. I thought there would be more cats. This one was a 5/10. Didn't quite flow and spent more time in the past than I liked

That was cute! Uke suffers from boy who cried wolf syndrome, turning every confession and flirtation with his childhood friend into a joke because he cant handle the humiliation of being truthful. But because of this, the seme doesnt believe him when he tries to be honest. And HE himself also doesnt believe the seme when the seme returns his feelings. Creating a weird misunderstanding when they start dating but neither believes the other really likes them 7/10

This Love is Coming in on the Express Train! My Sexy Train Attendant/official

Ongoing | Kurobuchi yoru | 2022 released

It's a tropes only speedrun of a BL so don't expert anyone here to act like a real person or have any depth. But if you just want a cheap, digestible meal with cute art, this is for you 4/10

Keisenjou no Cantata

Complete | Hayane Dentou,HAYANE Dentou | 2020 released

Really liked this one although I wish they had told the two couples stories in blocks instead of jumping between them. It was a little distracting and less satisfying. Now I really wanna read the story within the story, but perhaps its better as just brief glimpses. This had a really strong bittersweet vibe despite the endings for both couples being very lighthearted. 8/10

Kimi no Nioi

Ongoing | SAGANO Hiwo | 2018 released

Ngl, thought the scent kink would be.... more. Goes to show how much pwp I've been reading. They're cute. I have no real thoughts 5/10

Michizure Policy

Complete | kitakami ren | 2008 released

A classic one sidedly in love with your bff with a sprinkle of that "dont wnna ruin what we have" but don't worry the friend likes you back. Uke is pretty insecure about the romantic relationship and that never quite goes away despite the seme bring 100% devoted to him, so it's a little frustrating, but understandable. He's an anxious guy. 6/10 a meal well made
