Second Time of Dawn

Ongoing | Risa lisa | 2019 released

I’m sorry, but the plot is dumb, and the MC is dumb. I gave this a try because the time travel plot seemed interesting, but this back and forth between Yihan and Jinwoon is just so nonsensical? The MC is so wishy washy; I’m not convinced the author even wants the reader to like him. WHY WOULD HE PUT JINWOON IN THE CLOSET… AGAIN?! This is one of those trashy love triangles where you’re only reading to see whose endgame. So far, it seemed like black haired ML is the one. Anyway, reading this is very frustrating, and there is a lot to be desired. I would probably like this more if their characters/translation were more fleshed out. It’s a classic, dramatic, and generic plot. The MC feels he has to be with Yihan out of obligation, but he somehow, without rhyme or reason, gets entangled with Jinwoon. Great.

For the author’s first work, it wasn’t bad? Before the reveal, I was tripping over myself, trying to wrap my brain around how the MC fell in love with an amalgamation of data… Like is he mentally deranged? If Ichi wasn’t real, he would be just like the guy who married Hatsune Miku lmao. Anyway, the plot twist was good. Cute, typical story. I just wish the ending wasn’t so rushed. Where’s the established relationship fluff??

ughh this is too good. really want more updates! academy life, magic, fantasy…. I LOVE. i love almost cliché plots like these, and i’m rly enjoying the execution. rooting for ilya obviously. Update: I liked the fluff and all, but this was wayyyy too slow burn-y. And all for a rushed ending? So many unanswered questions. It wasn't satisfying at all. It just gets all mushy, gushy and goes back to the title, but it doesn't have any substance. Still, I did enjoy reading their journey to the end, so I'll give this brownie points for that. The leads are cute together. Good story. Crappy ending.

Don't Offend the Male Lead

Honestly interesting, courtesy of the fantasy setting. I like the MC's headstrong personality. I was kinda out off by the fact that him and the ML are both blond at first, but I got used to it. The face slapping is satisfying even though the villains are insufferable and idiotic. The art's great, so you may want to give this a try.

This is really enjoyable! The characters are interesting. Who doesn’t like a vampire ML? I also like how the setting’s relatively lowkey. The MC is just managing a small restaurant.

Sir, Please let me refund this XX!

This was so feet-kicking-in-the-air cute!! I like how they were an older, more mature couple. They communicated like the adults they were. I also loved the fluff and the playful teasing. They just had a very enjoyable dynamic, and I’m sad it ended….

can’t wait for the official trans!! anyway, the mc is so embarrassing… but the ml does have a well defined character. that can be said for all the characters actually. the summary is kind of misleading, and i’m not sure i like all the side couple business going on tbh. but fairly good story

Ameagari no Bokura ni Tsuite

Complete | Rakuta shoko | 2019 released

I loved the characters. They each had their own issues, but they dealt with it together. I desperately need more volumes, though… It kinda of felt short lived, but there are untranslated sequels to this! Like I needed more closer on Mashiro’s mother (her narcissism and all) and more of the main couple’s life together. This was so sweet. I loved the style of art, which protrayed the characters painfully realistically. Their story wasn’t a fantasy or anything, just a normal part of their lives. 10/10 would read again

Hitori de Yoru wa Koe Rarenai

Complete | Matsumoto yoh | 2019 released

The setting takes forbidden romance to the next level. I love how it’s accurate to the times back then (it doesn’t pull any soft punches) and the angst is just so, so good. Their characters have layers, too… How the leads both have PTSD and such. Love the symbolism and art as well. Very masterful storytelling! Loved puppy Jim and Sei. I’m glad this has a happy ending despite being in the WW2 era. This author always hits.
