lilithespark's manga / #BL(1803)

Love Stage!!

Complete | Eiki Eiki,Zaou Taishi | 2010 released

I think this was a decent read. Relatively fluffy, light, and entertaining. Will always like the acting trope. The gags were part of this manga’s charm, but as always with older BL, there was the overused SA as a plot device. Some parts just feel nonsensical and obnoxiously dramatic. If this had come out today, I might not’ve read it ‘cause the execution is so lacking. Still, I enjoyed this with its silly characters. Glad the main couple (and even the side coupe) got their happy ending. This did do more than what I expected on the emotional/philosophical side (i.e. Ryouma questioning what it meant to “date a man”). Appreciated that Izumu got to top Ryouma despite being the typical “uke.” Perhaps a step in the right direction for its time but nothing mind-blowing.

Nakittsura ni Hug

Okay this was so cute and fluffy like?! I’m glad that the MC (Masaki) gradually improved his social anxiety with the help of the ML (Takeru). I love Masaki’s personality and find him really cute. The only dubious thing was probs how quick the ML was to accept that the MC didn’t want to meet up anymore lmao. Like how Masaki’s first time was handled. Short but sweet.

really cute!! aki has the fluffiest hair, ears, and tail… their relationship and dynamic was also fluffy, but that’s pretty much all there is to it. light read. maybe it could’ve been expanded upon w/ more world building, but it fulfills its purpose

Love Blind Spot

Ongoing | Dotory | 2000 released

that’s it? ahhh it was so cute. the ending was unsatisfying though. the plot didn’t feel resolved. rather loose ends were left hanging. wish we could’ve seen more but for the short time it spanned, it was quite good. good characters and a compelling story

Kawa ni Sazanami

Ongoing | Sumiya zeniko | 2019 released

Dominate Me With Your Power -Dom/Sub-verse -

Ongoing | Yuzu marita | 2022 released

18 it’s okay….? it’s def interesting. like doms can affect other doms w/ their commands. it has the right ingredients but smth is lacking imo

Lemon Soda Flavor Kiss

Ongoing | Umi tomoshibi | 2022 released

ughhh this is so cute! and i also love how rio is actually communicating to the ML. update: finished it and it was pretty cute! it was a little over the top with the drama and kinds cliché but it’s a decent read

As you like it

Complete | Kagis | 2022 released

This was a really satisfying one shot like others said! From start to finish, there was a conflict and it was solved within the chapter. It did a good job at showing us the character dynamics within the short time, and I found it really cute. I quite like this author’s way of storytelling. Doesn’t feel dragged out or unnecessarily dramatic.
