JGheartManga's manga / #Slow burn(858)

For some reason I am not a fan of this mangaka's storylines or plots but I can't stop myself from reading all her works. This is testament to his/her talents as he/she obviously chooses not to take the easy road with fluffy, re-worked stories that has been overdone a million times. In this one, she has chosen to tell stories about older men (not a favourite trope of mine) and yes, I didn't enjoy any of them at all but God I respected the story, realism and emotion that she pulled. This is one of her works that to me; is like an important, Oscar winning movie that you don't enjoy because it's not fluffy or packed with enjoyable content, but a story that you force yourself to get through cos it deserves your attention.

Hero is in love with heroine but she has bf. The smut is pretty hot even though it took a while to properly get there. It's a long read and I am appreciating that by vol 4, it also shows us the bf's POV and the story becomes more 3 dimensional. Update vol9 ch74: story started going downhill a few chapters ago. Looks like it's gonna be a rushed, easy ending after all that crap I went through with these 3 idiots. Ch74.5: is side story for 2 of the secondary girl characters.

To read before Yoake Ni Furu. The gist of this story would have been adorable and sweet if I didn't get lost in some of the confusing dialogue and jumpy time gaps. Also without the smut or real romantic scenes, it was hard to establish how deep the MC's relationship ran. Still, a very cute read.

Spinoff to read after Yozora no Sumikko de. Love this one! It's a lot less confusing than its predecessor and such a sweet Shounen Ai story.

Barely a hint of smut. This story droned on and the one sex scene ended up nothing.

What smut? No smut but the idea, innuendo and suggestion of sex is the basis of this story but no actual smutty scenes. BUT I really am enjoying this one - not immensely but enough to continue, especially for a long assed, Shoujo story. Update vol11 ch43: we finally get tame smut! Now I dunno how to list this manga :( Update vol ch48: it was a trick. The MC heroine never went all the way with secondary hero. He just made us think that. But the story ends like a shoujo and heroine is with main hero and NO SMUT!

4.5 stars. I was skeptical at the beginning as I wasn't loving the art style and the storyline was a little too slow but then... I don't know if the art got better, or the storyline or both but I started to love it and both seme and uke characters were just too cute (in a simple and understated way). Big thumbs up for main story and also the enjoyable oneshots.

Spin off to Dekichatta Danshi. Was great to see MC's of DD even only as side characters but this story is pretty meh with seme so bloody hot/cold and confusing. Hope it gets better as the story progresses.

nice. Smut wasn’t till the end

Super cute and funny BL read. Love love love. We finally get a smut scene at the end even though compared to most yaoi' out there, this one's pretty tame.
