lilithespark's manga / #Doki Doki(46)

welp I’ve watch some of the anime, so here i am

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??

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.
