One room TA
God i love how fluid the dialogue and panels go with each other, the comedy in this is so well written every joke hit so well and the characters are so lovable. It was just straight up jokes and giggles up until ch15 and the tone shift for jinhyeong’s family situation and his severe social anxiety took such a turn it made me feel so bad for him. It was such an accurate portrayal of an anxious spiral, i love how the author depicted it. No wonder he moved in with uyun so quickly, i wouldve too :(( poor bub :(( the self sabotaging, denial and fear of emotional intimacy is so sad and real i feel called out LMAO author nailed that to a T. And bless uyun’s heart for accommodating to all of jinhyeong’s burst of energy. Buying dog mats so that he wont hurt himself when he crawls oh god jinhyeong u need to marry him like this is The One I NEED U TO LOCK TF IN!!!!!!!!!!!! Such a fun story with very well written dialogue and characters. Pacing is beyond perfect and i adore the top view layout of the room with them in different rooms in every chapter. Its so cute!!!! Idk how the author didnt make the Established Couple dynamic boring, its magical?? Each chapter is so fun. Couple dynamic is adorable and uyun being weirded out but still attentive and considerate towards all of jinhyeong’s burst of crazies and timeouts is so adorable and sweet like wow thats rlly the dream lover……….. jinhyeong just wanted someone who could tolerate all of him and hes so convinced no one will bc even his family couldnt do that then who will….. ohhhhh jinhyeong i want to look at u thru a microscope ure so blorbo material i love u so much………… sighhhhhhhhh such an addicting page turner i rlly need to let this marinate longer its way too damn good!!!!!!!!!!

A funky premise with a very wholesome outcome, love the couple’s dynamic so much (i genuinely could care less about the second couple imma be real with u chief) Kurosawa being head over heels and just fanboying at every single thing adachi does is sooooo adorable!!!!!!!!! Get u a man who has a fund ready just for you!!!!!!!!!!!! The bar is in heaven oh my god… adachi’s character growth was great as well, i love how seamless his character progression is and i just love the tone of the story? Its lighthearted and quite mature as well, and im glad the anime showed that in the voice acting. Adachi always having to keep kurosawa’s fanboying grounded and rational is hilarious LMAO The arc leading up to the wedding was so nice, im happy how attentive the author was regarding how limiting lgbtq+ couple’s opportunities in marriage and housing are, and i adore kurosawa’s sister in validating their worries about how unfair it is!!! They needed to hear that, hell i think all queer people needed to hear that. We arent wrong and we shouldnt feel like we’re greedy for asking too much!! We deserve nice things too!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That scene made me tear up :’) it wouldve been great if they included that in the anime…. And the scene where they met up with the friends and families are so sweet too,,,,and the co workers being invited to the wedding?? Its so cute!!!!!! Also big massive shoutout to fujisaki that is MY GIRL!!!!!! Her VA in the anime does her internal fangirling so well i feel so seen LMAO and love how respectful she was in her fangirling,, she even designed their wedding invite RAHHHHH power to you fellow fujo for seeing ur ship sail in real time….. 10/10, it rlly is just a soothing balm to the soul kind of read. Character dynamic is adorable (excluding second couple), character development and couple progression was great and the slice of life aspect of it never gets boring!!!!! Love the couple dynamic and how head over heels kurosawa is + adachi having to reel in his unhinged fanboying, love love love the arc leading to the wedding and the post wedding arc, it just feels so good to see them being navigating around as a couple!!!!!!! Im really living vicariously through them bc i know im never gonna be able to experience this LMAO RAHHHH KuroAda forever pls i hope author never drops their pen

Another soothing balm to the soul kind of read…. I adore the setting and season it took place, it’d really be the perfect summer anime love story.. i hope they get an anime adaptation next :’) Art is amazing, the fact that the author took their time to draw the background is so crazy, love how fluid the line movement is for the figures. And the couple dynamic is just so so sweet and adorably naive. Ryuuji being amane’s first boyfriend and relationship is so perfect, im so happy for him and ryuuji being so considerate and kind towards amane is so sweet too AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I love their dynamic so much man, the lil jealousy chapter ryuuji had rlly takes the cake for me bc i can see how their dynamic will easily go to “A falls first but B falls harder” territory AHHH cant even fault ryuuji for it, amane is just the sun personified TT the friendly social butterfly TTT and amane carrying that trauma of constantly lying to protect himself :’(( sunshine character whos holding some sort of trauma i lov u so much…. Ryuuji’s constant reassurance and need to communicate with amane is great too AHH its just such a chill and sweet and no stress bl??? I rlly hope they get their flowers and have an anime adaptation soon :’) 10/10 easily. Wishful thinking but i do hope their slice of life continues until they go to uni, would love to see how their dynamic grows in uni/tokyo hehe slice of life bl my bread and butter…….

HIKARIN THE APPLE OF MY FAWKIN EYE!!!!!! Thats my son omg the hikari’s anime va made me ill with baby fever it was so fucking adorable!!!!!! Love the mundanity of their everyday life its so sweet Also one of those rare occasions where i was REALLY invested with the second couple. Yuuki and matsu’s confession was so aro adjacent it was so insanely sweet. Sometimes confessions dont have to be the traditional “i love you” or “lets get married”… “i want to be family with you” “i want to spend forever with you” hits the mark just as good and seeing yuuki’s reaction to it kind of lit a bulb inside my head bc huh… maybe thats what i wanted as well.. not a traditional confession perse but just the promise of forever with someone… i love yuuki and matsu’s dynamic so so much. One bc of yuuki’s casual bluntness with matsu and the bickering and the other is how sleazy matsu is LMAO old man u are really wrapped around yuuki’s finger and its adorable. Definitely want more of them in the future TTTT Oto’s dynamic with the twins is so interesting too IM BEGGING he gets together with both of them. Please. Please. Get tag teamed by the both of them I BEG U AUTHOR………,.. he deserves two alpha husbands doting on him … also surprisingly enough the manga makes him look way more milfier than the anime i was shocked LMAO i completely understand the twin’s attraction… they just like me…………….. Hope we get a second season of the anime and it focuses more on matsu and yuuki hehe thatd be fun The omegaverse world building does have me scratching my head sometimes, i guess hiro not spending the heat with masaki in the first few chapters was just bc masaki didnt want to maybe? Or bc there was no one available to take care of the kids ? Idk ???? Oh well eitherway its fine, doesnt ruin the story that much :3c though i’d really love to see a chapter of them just going at it LMAO matsu and yuuki especially !!!!!!!!

Peak coming of age shoujo story. Insanely sweet and adorable, light hearted and stress free! Love the constant reassurance and communication the couple has, author also doesnt blow certain plot points out of proportion for a cheap dramatic twist. The tone of the story felt really mature despite the cliche plot. Very refreshing!!! Cant forget how mindful aoi was with koto’s pronouns, itsuki’s casual open affection towards sena and even entertaining the idea of top bottom dynamics LMAO (itsuki is so bi coded) and aoi’s mom’s approach and view in marriage having different forms. Its all just tastefully done? And koto just SCREAMS aro so much, i love how androgynous she looks lmao her dynamic with itsuki is so fucking cute, so straight yaoi of them!!!!! Oh and the way the characters approach sex is so nice too! Sena a champ for holding it thru that long lmao cant even blame him if he lasts 5 secs tops LOL my boy was horny gripping for 10 chapters straight Its a very nice read, i flew past the chapters so fucking fast lmao truly a stress free read with lovable characters! Author did their thing here! Koto being the balance and sound of reason in the story is great too, love how stead fast she is. I was rlly rooting for it to be gl and bl bc itd be such a fun spin to see a shoujo story where the mc really explores ALL options with all genders with no harsh feelings lol .. one day!!!!! Overall, its a shoujo i would have highly recommended to teenage me, everything is just A+

Hatsukoi Note
Suprisingly well paced for a short story. Sure the conflict mc had was resolved pretty quickly but the couple progression felt just right! Theyre so so sweet with each other. I LOVE the lil misunderstanding they had with the ml thinking mc liked someone else, only to realise it was him he liked instead, it made the lil journal entries mc did soooooo adorable and sweet. AHHHH. Mc went through so much and i love how ml is so considerate through everything, mc is rlly such a dear, their sex scene was drawn so beautifully TTT felt awe struck seeing mc’s face during the scene, hes so fucking cute. AHH!!!!!!!!! It ended nicely for 4 chapters which is amazing. They def deserve two volumes at least bc i would loveee to see their characters and relationship develop more as time went by
Secondo Piatto
RAHHHHHHHHH THIS STORY THE PACING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE PANELS!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love everything about this story, the main characters are so refreshing and down to earth. I love the changing perspectives going from hyunwook’s to wonyoung’s in the end. Most of all i just love the overall drama of the story being about these two people trying to move on from their first loves and how the way they handled their love lifes in reaction to it. Hyunwook’s confidence in thinking he Will be his first love’s endgame resulting in him being easy going and not treating it seriously vs Wonyoung’s overthinking and treating his infatuation with his first love Too Seriously causing him unable to connect with other relationships is so fucking good. Bc by the end of it, u can see them adapting each other’s characteristics in other to make Their relationship work. Hyunwook wanting to be more serious and wonyoung trying to be more open, Its such a satisfying character growth!!!! The characters feel so down to earth too as well as the conflicts. I feel so much for wonyoung and his struggle to move on from minseok especially in his situation where he doesnt have a support system other than minseok and how much that affected him. And bc hes gay, all the little things minseok unknowingly does still holds so much weight, it just becomes even more painful for him and makes letting go soo hard especially since hes been holding those feelings for 10 years. Its such a solid conflict for his character that is different from hyunwook with heeseo that i cant help but resonate more with. And i love how minseok doesnt turn out to be jerk, just an oblivious kind guy who views wonyoung as his brother and nothing more. I love how hyunwook was there to give wonyoung the hard truth about the situation. That scene where hyunwook realises that wonyoung and minseoks situation is much different than his and heeseo to the point its like their intertwined orbits is soooo fucking good!!!!!!!!! That realization that two of his loves, the past and present, navigating themselves more towards minseok whos caring and affectionate, something he isnt, is so satisfying LMAO it rlly put him into perspective and made him aim to be more open and affectionate with wonyoung GRRR its all done so fucking well God i have notes no complaints (other than hyunwook being a yapper LMAO) the gangster sub plot is decent as well if not just a bit rushed. The story’s dialogue, characters and atmosphere felt so mature and solid. The way they treated the one night stand, the rising climax of their relationship, the way hyunwook handled his confession Poorly and him trying to win wonyoung over, wonyoung being so worried about his future with hyunwook, AHHH everything is just so well written. The restaurant crime scene was such a fun escalation omg i wouldve loved if the author used more of that crime solving plot with wonyoung’s restaurant as the background/meeting spot to solve crimes lol i ate it all up enthusiastically!!! Wonyoung selling the restaurant is such a nice closure for him and AND my favourite is the intimate pillow talks AHHH its all so well done and executed their relationship feels so fucking solid, their vulnerability with each other is so sweet and meaningful. Dreamy sigh. Everything is 10/10. Sex scene was delicious, the anatomy and poses was stunning. Hyunwook stopping when wonyoung tells him to is so attractive AHHHHHH i just love this story so much. The romance, the banter, the dirty talk and hyunwook calling wonyoung pretty AHH!!! My god and the title drop was so nice too, it makes perfect correlation to the story, ; your seconds are just as exciting, maybe even more! It parallels rlly well with the theme too; a story about moving on and letting go of your first love. Its so bittersweet :’) The artist does such a great job with the panels and pacing. i fucking love u artist and author the absolute dream team. and god the conclusion of it was satisfying! It explores the perspectives in romantic and platonic relationships rlly well given the chapters it has. I hope we get extras def one of those stories that i think would be good as a kdrama!! Biggest chefs kiss!!
Kill Blue
RAHHH we are incredibly seated. Fucking love ogami’s character. Hes such an uncle. Love how the artist took care in writing ogami’s character to be this old assassin guy whos given a chance to experience school and education and didnt give him a cheap perv character trope especially given the premise. And the fact that hes been married and constantly banters with his ex wife is rlly the funny part about this LMAO his only flaw is fumbling a baddie by being a deadbeat dad. His relationship with noren is so good too bc he sees his daughter in her. It makes his reasoning to protect the kids so charming and heartwarming considering his background. And really the whole premise is him humbling chuuni ass kids who think they know how the world works, not knowing that theyre whining at a guy who has 40 yrs of experience in beating ass. Its so satisfying LMAO Just a solid 10/10 all around. Character design is so unserious and silly u just know the artist had fun doing it lol. The humour and translation is spectacular too. I rlly hope it gets an anime adaptation soon, its such an enjoyable read!!!!
