Hana Ni Kuchizuke
This is hilariously unromanticized and I think I love it. Only 4* because it's not 'timeless classic' level.
Taka ga Fukuen
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!!
Pretty standard stuff, cute and wholesome without (much) gay panic.
Crack Star
A typical story along the lines of the tagged tropes. Nothing bad, just not anything special.
Heart Racer
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
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
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!
