JGheartManga's manga / #Boring(301)

Crown Craze

Complete | suzukura hal | 2010 released

Jumpy dialogue made understanding the story hard. In the end, this story was just ok for me. Had one glossed over smut scene but the rest of it is pretty Shounen Ai.

Dear. Gentle Papa

Complete | yamato nase | 2001 released

Had a strong pedo vibe to this and at the beginning made me feel a bit uneasy. I guess this manga did well in normalising and romanticising what should be a very illegal act. In the end, the 17 yr old best friend (who's dating the 12 year old son) didn't really do anything illegal with the boy (thank god) and the boys father (who's dating the 17 year old's best friend who is also 17) was a bit of a clueless dipsh!t, but the story ended up to be quite a slow but enjoyable read

Love Mode

Nice, long read. Was a little slow for my liking but parts were really enjoyable nonetheless. Had the main stories of 2 couples but had other one-shots of other couples too. Very well developed story.

The 4th Guard

Ongoing | FUJII Mitori | 2000 released

DNF @vol 3 pg114. Not the worst read but wasn't engaging enough for me to continue reading. I also didn't enjoy reading about the main characters (seme's treatment of uke - like a pet dog) and prefer my couples to have enough mutual respect for each other to consider it romantic. Just my personal preference. The other side stories were ok but not amazing.

Was a little too slow paced for my liking and found myself skimming until I finally DNF'd by volume 3. Not a bad read per say, just wasn't my cuppa. 1 Doukyuusei [Classmates] - Prologue 2 Sotsugyousei [Graduate] - Sequel 3 Sora to Hara - Spin-off (Story of Teacher) 4 Occupation to Beloved - Mixed 5 Graduation Certificate - Epilogue

3.5 stars. There were some funny parts and boring parts and found myself skimming or taking breaks for this story at times. Other than that, this is a cutesy, enjoyable read that seems to go on and on although it has its great moments now and then. Heroine is kinda annoying in a hypocritical and selfish kinda way.

Long assed read but very cute and romantic at the end. Also very tasteful and tame smut but still had it's nice Ecchi moments.

Nice enough story but I'm not a fan of uke chasing a seme who keeps pushing away. Maybe I'll pick it back up in the future but for now the pace is a little too slow for me. DNF @ vol1 ch3 pg28
