cmdrbanger's manga / #Co-workers(96)

5/8/25 5 stars for the omega top in ch5!! I've never seen that before and it's incredible. I wish they had a whole manga.

5/31/25 - Very cute! Interesting main plot, the MC wanting to change his outlook on life for the better. I don't like that his trash-talking friend gets more or less forgiven. They're more frenemy and that sucks, but it would probably be too much to expect Masora to make an all new friend group too. The romance was sweet, and I wish the story had more of their future in Tokyo together, but it ends in a more poetic way than manga typically does. Overall it felt more like a graphic novel, tbh.

Hm, I wonder if that's it! I got so into this one it felt like a longer series in the making (like case fic that's also a romance, but I guess that kind of manga can't be THAT common lol. I should get back to Night Beyond the Tri-cornered Window, I guess. I wish there was more of the social stuff I think, coworkers reactions (both positive and negative.) Oh!! There's a sequel! I guess I'll have to keep checking back to see if the scanlator picks that one up too.

7/8/25 It's not bad, everything just happens so fast. Very smutty, but kinda lacking impact because of the pace.

7/20/25 Decent, as smut goes. It might be a twoshot? The chapters were pretty long.

8/3/25 This was cute, but in a green flag that's almost beige kind of way It had shades of depth in Ruri's classical violin career (?) but it doesn't really seem to know how serious to take it. There's no exploration of how his family feels about him quitting music, or how it affected his plans for the future, or what his plans even were before he quit. Being a symphony violinist is just such a specific skill that I would've liked to see it addressed in more detail. Other than that, the romance just kind of happened smoothly, which is fine I suppose. Just not very exciting.
