cmdrbanger's manga / #Designer(3)

It's cute and sweet and doesn't have any gay panic! I just wish the art wasn't so stiff. It's looser and fits better when scenes have a comedic tone, but the serious and romantic scenes all pretty much feel the same, and have an awkward posed look.

I want to rate this higher but it's really 3.5 at best. It has a good message but it still feels surface level somehow. Like it's 6 chapters, but it feels more like 4 in terms of content. It's very heavy on the emotional toll and yet the resolution doesn't feel as satisfying. The pacing I guess? It's all happens too fast, not enough to really gut punch you with the feels. Oh well. It's still good! Just fast. 4/11/25 reread - I still like it, and yeah, I still feel like it's lacking somehow. It's got conflict and backstory, but the secondary threads feel under-realized. I'd liked to have seen a stronger resolution to Kyousuke's work stuff, and we don't even know what Kasumi does.

These are wonderful!! The art is SO good.
