just_m3h's manga / #university(229)

Literally just about Akihiro (omega) and Reiya (alpha) who are neighbours, whose parents arrange a marriage match for them. Just pure fluff about them meeting, growing together and marrying. It's just simply fluff. I enjoyed the relationship and the sex I skipped mostly because they're soooo young. 5

Daiki was an outgoing and extremely smart kid who was popular with his peers. Takizawa, a budding alpha, had always had his eye on him as a "potential mate candidate" (he's definitely not all there). But when Daiki's secondary gender gets revealed, all the bullying he faces for being an omega makes him withdraw in on himself, making him almost unrecognisable when they reunite in university. Will Takizawa be able to draw Daiki out of his shell? Does Daiki fall into his trap despite all the huge-ass red flags? (yes, yes he does) It was interesting, but, wow. He's a psychopath. For real. I mean, sure, he cares about Daiki and will treat him really well, can take really good care of him and all, but yeesh. The man is crazy. 3.8

Ooh. The kinda mean seme I am actually into. Although, we only got to see a glimpse

Ren's an Instagram underwear model for his sister's lingerie brand, and Shu is the fan who is grudgingly accepting he may not be as straight as he had originally thought. What happens when their paths cross in a mixer where Ren's identity gets unexpectedly revealed to him after a certain incident? I like Ren well enough, he's cute and sweet and entirely lovable. But I absolutely adore Shu. I think he's just the right amount of gentle and accepting, yet mean and wild to tick off all my boxes. They're sooooo HOT together.

Hanseo gets talked into sharing his overly spacious house with Yoon and Han Jiyoon (whom Hanseo has a massive crush on), after Yoon catches him smelling Han Jiyoon's jacket during a night out. Yoon's just teasing him a bit while trying to help his cute kouhai. Promise. Why is he so damn cute, though?? I did enjoy it. But it wasn't amazing or anything. Just good. I liked that Han Jiyoon didn't take the cliché "I pushed him away but I like him now" route. I still don't like him, though. I might agree with some of his views on privilege, but he's stilm an arsehole. He had no business being such a dick. I liked Yoon and Hanseo well enough, but did not think either were amazing characters. Hanseo's dad was honestly annoying. 4.5/5

1, 3: Story about Youji, an amateur manga artist, and how he falls for Sawa, his sepai who always wears gloves for an unknown reason. The story was incredible. And incredibly painful. Yaoi rarely deal with issues like self harm and trauma well, but this was amazing. I wish them all the happiness. 5 2, 4: Suo and Minato meet online as bl fanfic writer and fan artist. Once they meet irl, their bond strengthens and Suo eventually realizes he is in love with Minato. Only, Minato has been in love with him for just as long, if not longer. So much pain in their desperation, but so heartwarming and sweet, too. Suo will never ever know how much he saved Minato. Lord. This child needed that break. 4.7 The entire collection has such depth and evokes the strangest sense of nostalgia. Bittersweet but heavy on the sweet, and heartbreakingly beautiful.

Kurokawa tries to recruit his high school kendo ruval, Kazuha for the university kendo team. Kazuha agrees to join if he loses a one-on-one. But he wind instead and asks... to be spanked? Despite the premise, it's still pretty cute, and the characters are cute too. Enjoyed the depictions of safe sex, wish they were echoed throughout. The spanking was fun, but surprisingly nkt as kinky as could have been. 4.5

It's a forgettable little story about Naoto, a university student and Shinya, a successful salaryman, who get together iver a series of meetings and eventually falm madly in love with each other. There's nothing particularly special about the plot. But the characters are so lovely, and their relationship is so wholesome and wonderful, it really gives me hope. I thoroughly enjoyed it. 4.8

Kiumi is openly gay and enjoying a pretty active sex life as a top until he tries it out with a closeted, rather rude classmate from uni. Honestly? I didn't like it a lot. It was so hot. And Kiumi is so cute and super sweet and his friends are so fluffy. But Shizuno is such an asshole. He's deliberately cruel and all that internalized homophobia is certainly not attractive. Hope the sequel is better. 4.4

Because he is still his sensei, it doesn't really feel right. They should at least care about ethics and stuff. Overall, it was nice, though. I could relate to the sensei a bit tto well, unfortunately. 4.4
