Tomodachi Ijou no Koto, Shitai.
Did I read this before? Yup! It's good, pretty average but satisfying. I wish there was a spinoff for senpai!
Ikumen After
Huh! That ended up being unexpectedly wholesome. <3 I'm glad the drama and story development focused on permanent changes to their lives, like moving in together (and not getting a chance to move out) and Kentaro's genuine passion for acting. It was really nice that his agency and even the guy who was an acting rival (for like, one chapter, lol) were all on his side. And on Asakura's side, his coworkers were equally accepting and supportive. Again, that was really, really nice! I think the only reason it's only 4/5 is just the lack of JNSQ that would tip it over the edge. But all in all, very satisfying.
Umeya-kun no Haru
Cute with extremely good art but very short despite 6.5 chapters. Shy neighbor x extrovert
Kujira no Oshitate-san
It's cute! A little overly restrained in the romance development and then 0 to 60 with the sex scene. But they're both happy about it so I guess it's fine? I like that the sex is more about them finally admitting their mutual feelings, and it's enthusiastic on both sides.
Just!!
RARE UNICORN - a bi poly ending Haven't actually read from start to finish, but I'm appreciating the older art style
Ki ga Au to Iu Koto wa
I actually liked the ghost story! The fact that the guy who lent his body to the dead lover was so pissednl off when he realized they'd had sex using him, that was the correct response. Obviously it all worked out in the end, but it was handled decently. As for the other story, I wish Shiraishi had a littttttle more awareness. There's a limit to going with the flow, and if he's fine having sex with his friend multiple times, dude, I think you might have Feelings. But that works out in the end too. All in all, these are sweet! I'll read the spinoff of the second story too.
Tiger & Bunny dj - Excessive Happiness
3.5 for letting Kotetsu top, but ONLY 3.5 for Barnaby being unilateral about it being the only time. Other than that, it's a metaphor heavy dj, but nice to see the same story from both characters' POV.
Oh! Sammy
A DJ oneshot I guess? Jumps right to the sex, which is fine. It's cute.
Kabukichou Bad Trip
#wholesome smut!! I can't believe this is a thing, but it's fantastic. The focus and emphasis on how much Mizuki cares for Tooru (over the smutty s&m theme) is really something special. Combining it with the supernatural element of Tooru being psychic makes the story extra unique. It would be good even without that, but it's always been kept at the forefront as a key part of the storytelling in a really satisfying way. Reread!! Still amazing. <3
