Seishun Runaway
I love this so much! The story-telling is great, and the characters are all interesting. The way everything unfolded is somewhat unpredictable, which I like. I'd consider this one of my Top 30 but my list is quite cluttered so yeah lol The first couple was adorable. The taller guy is handsome but is really insecure (in an endearing way, not toxic), meanwhile the other guy is charismatic yet elusive. The dynamic is entertaining, and even if the smaller dude is quite sly, you know he's not doing it out of malice. The second couple was a bit out of my league, it's a whole different formula than most of the things I've seen so far. The premise is quite simple: strong, unrequited love since high school (with mild stalker-ish behavior), then reencounter in college. What makes it unique is the glasses character really, the way he thinks is different I can't even explain it. That character feature made their arc unpredictable haha. Though I must say, I wasn't very moved by their part, the resolution wasn't satisfying. Moved too far trying to be unpredictable. Overall I'd rate this a 4.5

This hit so close to hone. Sasagawa-san is literally me, just that I don't have a handsome, chef neighbour who'd reassure that I'm worth something lmao so sad. I'd still add this to my favorites just coz, sana all HAHAHA
Tojikometai!
offtopic but dude i rarely see captive mangas but i just saw two of them today. then both mentioned One Piece... i'm freaking out lmao (05.14.20) anyway, second couple is cute. the seme's design is ugh, cool yet gentle-looking *chef's kiss* (spoiler: what a waste he was actually a sadist lmao he was already perfect!) third story: lmao WHAT ON EARTH IS A "PERSON I WANT TO MARRY RANKING" in a goddamn office job LMAO I CANT. omg this shit is hilarious, i love the characters. (this one is the reason for the "good characterization" tag coz they're interesting and entertaining lmao, the most popular guy is so funny). fucking hell this story had so much potential, it was so quick given the one chapter constraint. if given the chance it would've been amazing.

I love this one. It's omegaverse but it's completely chill. The romance only started to peak at Chapter 4, the other chapters are more slice of life, which I totally don't mind. It's great, like a breath of fresh air. Like dude, there's no unnecessary drama, jealousy, and all that. Guess one downside to this is the lack of romance. It was just bits and pieces of romance strewn around.

First story was quite cute, but idk I wasn't exactly comfortable reading through it. It's like a simplified version of the usual overturned-playboy trope, but with less drama lol. I liked the second story! An ostracized, misunderstood demon meets a human. They're so cute, the demon being a bit tsundere was quite entertaining lol. The exorcist was good too, he's like the cool supporting character in shounen mangas if you know what i mean LMAO. The ending was an "awww" moment uwu The extras were funny too lmao, i was like: DID HE JUST SAY HE GETS TURNED ON BY "A LITTLE POOP"???? I'M-
