The Prefect’s Private Garden


Complete | Satou Sanayuki | 2000 released

4.5 - 5* Enjoyable but the way the thriller is paced is a little subpar…maybe it’s the lack of black paneling to really give the “oh no” feel? Maybe it’s the expressions that aren’t drawn as dramatic as they could be? Maybe it’s the cliche tropes too lol I do like the angst but…it just isn’t as exciting as it could be :( Nice hurt & comfort overall tho The initial possessive thriller was nice too

It ok, storytelling is good, not corny or cringe or anything. Guess it just wasn’t as compelling as I wanted it to be

Well written, good plot and character development Felt a little foreign lol Asahi was a brat ‘till the end tho, he matured a bit but was overall…annoying? Xd And lowkey pity Yoru for being so oblivious about how Asahi treats him, but eh. Whatever works for them I guess. Yoru’s obsession with Asahi screamed isolation tho (not by grooming, he did it to himself) so I’m having mixed feelings about this

4.5-5? I enjoyed it but felt lost along the way, tho that might’ve been cuz I was really sleepy when I read this…yeah this is probably a 5* work when I’m sober So wholesomee they’re so cute hahaha Got a bit of angst moments but they didn’t firmly take hold; you can tell this author has drawn smut and heavy angst before lmaooooo

They actually felt like the middle schoolers they were LOL really nice characterization! This was a really fluffy recovery from past trauma The kuudere + excited doggo duo is so adorable, esp when u can clearly see the fondness they have for each other :’) Maybe it was the context but despite the good and lowkey poetic writing I was sorta bored LOL

Translation was pretty sucky. Not machine translated exactly, but they fk up tenses and pronouns (I swear they confused “you” and “I” in some panels Jesus Christ) Liked the uke’s angst backstory, but…where tf does the seme fit in all this Seme literally had half a page of justification for why he fell in love w/ the uke and the author just left it at that LOL smth like “his smile is cute and the way he talks is nice” <— the fkd up thing is that the author didn’t show the uke acting like this outside of his reminiscing moments. From the story’s present perspective, uke was a constant nervous wreck with anxiety monologues everywhere, and he never seemed to joyfully chatter away like the seme was imagining. Author spent too many pages building the angsty backstory lmao Romance was so stale cuz of this xd Angsty backstory and my personal fave type of archetype (fall from grace type) brought this up to 3*l

Too much smut for there to be any kind of emotional anchor in the plot lol Had ok points of angst but could’ve been exacerbated with more struggles (uke just up and accepted all this LOL) and more dramatic expressions
