Red and Mad

Ongoing | | 2019 released

At first, I found this story to be very confusing with the world building and all (plus all the things not explained about this future the MC travels to). Now, I find it quite interesting! I think it does get better as it goes on. It’s darker than I first imagined, but I think the MC’s reactions are quite realistic. The dynamic between her and Ram is kind of weird (she’s technically his subordinate and the dude apparently hates humans). Not sure how the romance subplot will unfold. The plot is very creative, though. From the MC’s ability to the unique setting— I’ve never read anything like this before.

The Civil Servant Hunter’s S-Class Resignation Log

Ongoing | | 2022 released

So interesting! I like the characters, and the storytelling is both subtle and masterful. The art is very good at communicating that. The characters all have their own quirks and things that make them THEM. They’re all very distinct. I like the MC’s abilities, too. A sniper ability? Very cool. The action is pretty good, and I like that this has male characters that aren’t necessarily love interests. I just find the upcoming romance subplot a bit weird. *SPOILER WARNING* It looks like the ML is the system administrator, but I personally have trouble fathoming how they could have a romance… I was hoping the returnee would be the ML, but oh well.

New Alpha Son, Old Omega Father

Ongoing | Gugsan fire tinker bl,Leobeu | 2022 released

Yeah, this is just a no. You can’t try justifying this… The huge age gap… the fact the ml calls the mc “dad” for 90% of the story. the pseudo incest— what’s with the supposed happy ending… the mc gives birth to his almost-son’s child??? i feel bad for the kid, man. the exhibitionism, too… barf. why make this. just why.

The Savior's Book Café in Another World

Ongoing | Izumi kyouka (和泉杏花),Oumiya (近江谷),Sakurada reiko | 2019 released

Very cute manga with fluffy romance! My only qualm is the racism… It’s very clear that the antagonists are middle eastern caricatures even though we don’t see them that often. i liked how they’re about the same age! and a more mature and understanding couple. you don’t see that too much in the manga, but the extra chapters conveyed that. they were cute (and a little spicy) as well. Mostly heartwarming read. Youta wasn’t too bad of a character imo.

I Adopted the Male Lead from the Shelter 〘Official〙

Ongoing | Yujistar | 2022 released

I like this! I like how some of the characters (the parental figures) have done bad things, but they try to make up for it… The MC’s dad for example. I like how he isn’t just some villain figure. He genuinely cares for his daughter even as he abuses Therianthropes… Anyway, they’re nuanced, which I like. The dynamic between the MC and Ruby is also rly cute.

Sorekara, Kimi wo Kangaeru

Complete | Komatsu | 2000 released

I usually don’t like one shot anthologies, but this one was pretty good! The stories all kind of balanced each other. The first two were about a rather bittersweet, unfulfilled love, and the others felt a bit more hopeful in nature. I especially liked the third one! It was very fluffy, the one with the delinquent-looking guy and otaku. The second one was the weakest story-wise imo. The first and last ones were very atmospheric and felt realistic (in part due to the art). Good read.

Looking for My One-Night Villainess

Ongoing | Eun ragyeom | 2022 released

the art is way too good for a story like this… i love the line weight and the subtle realism it has (e.g. the mass slightly protuding out from leonie’s face. all the characters are so beautiful, but i’m not the biggest fan of the developing love square with the MC as the focal point. the plot is also kinda frustrating rn but i hope it gets better

I Thought You Were A Time-Limited Husband

Ongoing | | 2022 released

40 this is pretty mid. everything about this is bland. the FL, the ML— can’t get hooked on the plot personally. but it’s not a BAD story. it’s a decent one with nice art. the plot is pretty entertaining

Your True Color

Ongoing | Fuyume saya | 2019 released

I didn’t like how the plot progressed at first, but it got better as the story went on I think. The way the conflict was resolved felt refreshing. The Sumika Sumika showed others was also a part of her, persona or not. So questioning the difference between the TV Sumika and her real self might not have mattered all that much. I liked the themes of teenage friendship/angst, and contrary to what others might think, I actually liked the romance! Sure, it wasn’t typical, and it didn’t exactly have a label, but I think these types of romance are quite underrated. Ito definitely grew as a character, from someone who’s bland to someone who actually takes initiative. I liked when the author was a little more subtle in the storytelling, too (e.g. them discreetly telling us that Sumika’s uncle is gay). Overall, this was an interesting manga exploring the idol fantasy.

Onna Doushi to ka Arienai deshou to Iiharu Onna no ko wo, Hyakunichi kan de Tetteiteki ni Otosu Yuri no Ohanashi

Ongoing | Mikami teren,Kayako | 2019 released

It was cute! And really hot. I enjoyed the fluff. The author made the MC’s character progression very believable. She goes from a typical homophobe to a sweet girlfriend. Very entertaining read! I absolutely loved their dynamic. The FL seemed cold at first, but she was actually very sweet and liked the MC quite a lot on the inside.
