Spicy & Sugary

Complete | Akira Norikazu | 2000 released

Meh, unsprisingly Nagai was attractive enough to get a spinoff, but the story and couple weren't as compelling as Beast & Feast. Second story was also meh.

Hana Ni Kuchizuke

Complete | abe akane | 2015 released

This is hilariously unromanticized and I think I love it. Only 4* because it's not 'timeless classic' level.

Chs 1-3 & 6 - former hs classmates and basketball teammates meet again by chance as salesmen for the same company. Nothing stands out and translation is awkward.

Family Simulation!!

Complete | Matsuyoshi Aco | 2000 released

Pretty standard stuff, cute and wholesome without (much) gay panic.

A typical story along the lines of the tagged tropes. Nothing bad, just not anything special.

Heart Racer

Complete | Neko | 2022 released

Probably dropping this. It was just barely interesting enough to keep reading before, but it's gonna go back and forth with the plot, I can tell. The relationship seems to have stabilized, but the mystery drama isn't going to be resolved any time soon, I don't think.

Lovesick Hypocrites

Complete | Matsumoto yoh | 2022 released

Very interesting!! -1 for the boss being yandere, didn't need to do that far. But! It felt like justified sexual drama, a bit HBO tbh; ie people making ill-advised dramatic statements for the sake of impact, beliving their position to be unassailable (and that's how Ned died!!). Also fulfilled my neverending need for domesticity. The story realistic presents a couple that moved may to fast making up the difference as friends before reconciling. A 4 fav! Uncensored, but not great dick anatomy, lol.

Tada Zutto Negatteru

Hmm... Objectively I think they should probably be together. Lying to themselves and their families, potentially forever, is a long, lonely road.

Ruby Red wo Kamikudaku

Complete | Saku hiro | 2019 released

Omegaberse with an extra supernatural twist. I liked it! I also liked Makise's emphasis on *not* being Junta's teacher anymore. Please de-emphasize that, yes. Hopefully I'll get to read the sequel one day, and Kaname's story will be told. I'm still iffy in whether Makise's is really a beta or not. Typically it just turns out they're a late bloomer, but if he really IS a beta, there better not be any 'fated pair' love triangle BS. Anyway, I liked this a lot!
