Happy Birthday Chitose-kun!

Complete | Ueno Poteto | 2023 released

This was cute! You know, they almost let each other slip away in their dumb youth. But Chitose takes the chance to reconnect with each other despite all misgivings…. Found that pretty relatable. Anyway, wholesome manga! They’re such awkward idiots, but I love them for that.

The Man on the Other Side

Complete | Ueno potato | 2022 released

This was an interesting, introspective read! The MC is such an over thinker and self-deprecating guy that the whole story feels awkward because it is told from his perspective. In that sense, this was definitely more relatable than I’d like to admit. It’s a semi-unique twist on another wise typical romance trope where the MC is just a “normal” guy, and the love interest is this celebrity. Anxiety-filled yet cute read at the end.

Guiding Hazard

Ongoing | Chungnyun,Sunsun | 2023 released

So darn good, and I haven’t read much of it yet. The art is literally to die for, and the chemistry the leads have with each other… Insane. Plus, the MC (Eunsung, also the top) isn’t a freaking rapist and actually has decent character. ML Taegun) seems cool, too, and I like this push and pull dynamic. Both of them are intricate, complex characters with their own trauma. I love it! Well balanced plot with steamy moments

Ookami-kun wa Yuzuranai

Ongoing | Sakura rico | 2022 released

This volume really delivered with the fluff and picturesque future for the main characters. So cute! I did enjoy this. That aside, I also have to say this volume disappointed me. Most of the story is just side couple mumbo jumbo. A side character is introduced to cause strife for the main couple, but oh wait, he’s just a set-up for another side couple. I wanted more adulting, youth, growth… But there was only a very small portion of that. The rest of the manga is just sex, sex, and more sex. Then, a magical time skip, and wow, pregnancy! I wish the mangaka had stuck to just one theme. It feels like they tried to cram too much into this one volume. This story isn’t meant to be that deep, but still… It’s a bit sad that I couldn’t engage with this on a deeper level. This is a bit of a personal qualm, but I just cannot wrap my head around hybrid wolf-rabbit babies lol.

Yasaotoko to Sadistic

Complete | Hideyoshico | 2010 released

Eh, this was alright. The ending was lackluster, but maybe that was the overall vibe the author was going for. Things vaguely get resolved, but it’s nothing satisfying. The ML, glasses guy, one who was bullied, accepts the MC’s feelings. Their dynamic is definitely an interesting one. The stalker MC just keeps jutting into the ML’s life until it’s natural. Weird but surprisingly not toxic.

Unsleep

Ongoing | Hyeon-oe | 2024 released

30 They’re so funny I love them also love the college setting and how unabashed they are with their desires

White Night Bitter Porn

Ongoing | Nobana saori | 2022 released

Eh, this was alright. Like others have said, average fluff with smut. Surface level plot. I really liked the ML, though. He’s earnest, honest, and overall such a green flag?? He was to stop… when the MC said “stop” lol. Other than that, this isn’t very memorable. Tons of stories are like this nowadays. A lot of this author’s works are mid. The art was pretty good I’ll say.

Camboy Bunny

Complete | Soladi | 2022 released

28 bro they’re actually so cute… i did end up liking the live streaming aspect. plus, jinhong is so cute. the smut’s pretty good. i like that the miscommunication doesn’t get too dragged out. mostly porn with a bit of plot

Grab the Stars

Complete | Uno yukiaki | 2022 released

The ML (black haired guy, bottom) annoyed me sm. Bro has the nerve to block the Mc but then miss him like what… Probably one of the only good things about this was the art. The “angst” didn’t feel that genuine to me. The ghosting was just not it. All the conflict was just cliché mumbo jumbo.

Harenai Sekai de Kimi Dake Mieru

Complete | MIKKA Mita | 2023 released

This author dropped yet another banger… I loved this! Loved the gorgeous art. I also liked the characters. The MC is asocial, sleep deprived, has trauma, but is also resilient. The ML is kind of like your typical ikemen, but he’s compassionate. What really drove me to this story was the portrayal of the MC’s trauma, which manifests as facial blindness. It’s very realistic and his journey in overcoming it is relatable and immersive. Can’t wait for volume 2!
