A Shoulder to Cry On
A short, yet sweet 3 hour read. Super cute and fun! Some angst and self harm (only on one chapter tho), but mostly it's just about boys being boys, understanding each other and themselves, and falling in love in the process. No smut, but it's implied they're a versatile couple. We don't see much of their relationship development either, but the process was incredibly portrayed. It's got you hung up on it, binge reading the whole thing ASAP, all whilst feeling your heart go Doki Doki. Red haired guy is a real gentleman, and black haired one is a sexy rascal. For real, he's on fucking fire What a gorgeous character design. 5/5
Motomete Yamanai
Dropping at chapter 4 Beautiful art, wholesome uke, annoying af seme. He's unbearable, such a major dick with anger issues. Plus, he hurts uke during sex, and doesn't care one bit, “cause he's so different and doesn't realize it", not that'd he'd care either way.

Chapter "extra 1” Seme is such a baby. Like...a bit too much for my liking lol He's a nice kindhearted guy, but he's a bit slow and dramatic. The story and art are both okay. Enjoyable enough, but nothing out of the ordinary. The translator's notes (the snail one) were so funny and entertaining. 4 for being wholesome, and having a healthy couple.
