SOOOOO CUTTEEEE

makoto is SOOOO CUTEEE!! he’s so cute i could cry and throw up.

WONDERFUK ART AND CUTE BUR PREDICTABLW STORY!! so so cute i love that they got married overseas

wow. this was quite the read. i initially went into this story for the romance—i was really only after that aspect—but what kept me reading were the unique qualities of the story itself. i found myself enjoying every chapter because it explored real-world issues in a digestible way, while also handling them with a lot of care and appropriateness. some scenes even made me emotional, which is rare for me. i tend to be pretty detached when it comes to certain issues, but without giving any spoilers, there were parts of the story that hit way too close to real life—closer than most stories ever get. one major theme, obviously, dealt with things like racism, prejudice, sexism, and homophobia, and how religion can tie into and influence all of those. for a story that was advertised more as a romance-with-a-college-life-twist featuring animal characteristics, i was genuinely surprised by how deeply it dove into these serious topics. that’s exactly why i ended up putting it in my favorites folder. this definitely isn’t a read for anyone just looking for romance—while romance does exist, it’s far from the focus. it shows up pretty sparingly, and there’s not even a kiss. but what really made me love this story was the emotional impact and how it mirrored so many real-life struggles through a fictional lens. so if you’re looking for something thought-provoking that reflects our society while exploring the dynamics of another, this is absolutely worth reading.

i don’t have the correct words to accurately depict how satisfying and fulfilling this story was—truly just an amazing plotline. it starts us off already in a really high-stress situation, with two of the main characters surrounded by fire, and then everything else is a flashback that leads up to that moment. it’s about 85 chapters before we’re back in that room with the fire, and within those 85 chapters, so much happens to the characters. there’s so much growth. so much change. so much fluff. there are slight bits of angst, but nothing quite compares to the climax of being trapped in that room with the fire. i really appreciated how well done this was. there was also an insinuation that one of the female main characters was somehow manipulating the universe through her storytelling. it wasn’t exactly confirmed whether this was actually happening or if it was just a lot of coincidences, but either way i loved how they tied everything together. before anyone even suspects she’s impacting the story, there are a bunch of moments where the characters are like, “what she’s writing is really accurate to what actually happened,” and as readers you kind of just assume she was observing or got lucky. but then she herself starts noticing how similar the coincidences are, and decides to write down a change—and the change genuinely happens. so whether or not this was coincidence or some kind of magic, we never fully know, but i really like it that way. it lets the reader interpret what was actually going on the entire time. i think all of the characters were really enjoyable and well thought out—even the ones we see as antagonists throughout the story have redeeming qualities, and you begin to understand why they act the way they do. it doesn’t make their actions okay, but it gives them nuance. i truly think this story broke a lot of boundaries in the boys love genre. one example being that the bottom is actually taller than the top, which never happens in BL. i honestly thought the taller one was going to be the top at first, especially after he had his growth spurt, but i was pleasantly surprised that they didn’t change it. their interactions just felt so human. a lot of times BL characters are boxed into certain archetypes, but what i loved here is that they felt like real people. how they loved each other, how they grew, how they interacted—it all felt very real and authentic. i couldn’t recommend this story enough. it’s one of a kind, beautiful, and just an amazing read. please read it if you have the chance. phenomenally done. - last read: chap 121/B-5

there’s a freaking baby and the romance is so good i can’t wait for season 3!! genuinely this was so freaking good im losing it i loved this so so so so soooo much. their romance is perfect.

nothing insanely rememberable about this, but it was still a good read. I did enjoy it. I thought the characters were endearing. The plot was very straightforward. There was not a lot of conflict. Very happy read. I always love when shounen ai turns into yaoi LOLLL just a personal preference there. It felt a bit sudden, but I did still enjoy it. I enjoyed the art style. I thought that the art was really good and pretty consistent. The artist themselves called themselves out though, but I did like the changes that they made to their Art it felt nice. I don’t know I liked it so I have no complaints. There was very good.

this is hard to dislike!! so enjoyable and cute

I only gave this five stars because there were lots of points that made me laugh, and I find the main character to be very enjoyable, but you can really tell that the artist stopped putting in as much effort as the story went on since the Art got significantly worse and the ending seemed a bit rushed. I did like how it ended with them, turning off the stream and then the screen going black like them saying goodbye to the readers, but a lot of it just felt very rushed and I think if the story wasn’t so rushed, especially towards the end it could’ve been way better. I also enjoyed how it wasn’t a point of contention that they were two men in a relationship at least to the people around them. They’re pretty open about it for the most part and their friends are pretty accepting so I enjoyed that bit and yeah.

this was so cute! i love the two of them. this premise was very cute and enjoyable to read.
