Kataomoi x Kataomoi

Complete | UEDA Niku | 2000 released

The stories were nice. The first story had a good combination of school life and smut. Interesting premise, but it kind of bored me. Pretty sweet, though. The leads’ personalities were funny, given the fact this was mainly a romcom. Second story wasn’t all that, but it was cute.

God of Cooking

Ongoing | Yangchigi jali,양치기자리,수요일 연재 | 2019 released

I really liked this manhwa as a whole. At its a core, it's about competition, going head to head with other chefs and reaching for your dreams. And (obviously) food. It was entertaining reading the step by step process for how the MC prepared the food to serve the judges. Plus, the art looked frankly mouthwatering. Given its rather short time span, of course, all of the characters didn't get the limelight they deserved. Even after its supposed completion, I really would like to know more about Anderson and his situation with his family. I kind of expected the ending, but it also felt sudden. The romance is relatively subtle and not top obtrusive to the plot. But will the MC ever achieve his dreams? It's a pity we cannot see more of the Mc's journey because, really, this was just the start.

Don't Pick Up the Soap

Complete | ripe banana,jungkwon | 2000 released

Honestly, I really enjoyed reading this. It was so funny with the (English) names and everything. It was also smutty, so that was an infinite plus. It was very comical, and who doesn't love reading about beefy dudes? It's not anything super substantial that'll stick with you for a while, but it's a entertaining experience.

Cosmetic Playlover

Ongoing | Sachi narashima | 2019 released

Concept’s pretty interesting. Two beauty assistants. But the conflict was pretty mid. It all could’ve been avoided if some random hadn’t been petty and envious over the MC’s capabilities. The author tried to go for a teasing (?) ML, but they really just made him manipulative imo. Especially at the start because he quite literally raped the MC…. Great art. Smut’s good. Mid story. Not worth the read.

Baby Tyrant

Ongoing | Lee Huin,Awon | 2023 released

24 This is available on Webtoon now… Also an adaptation of a novel…. Anywho, this is pretty decent?? Art is about what you would expect. I get where the title comes from now. The MC had a pitiful past. She is reborn w/ divine power (?) and is crowned emperor at the ripe of age of one. Awesome. She’s doted upon and stuff, but it’s really too early to tell what the story will be like from the available chapters out now alone.

Saikyou no Kanteishi tte Dare no koto? ~Manpuku gohan de Isekai Seikatsu~

Ongoing | Minatose tsukasa,Fujiwara rika | 2019 released

The translation gradually gets better. For the first portion, you can just turn your brain off and get through it relatively easily. It’s enough to somewhat understand. Anyway, I thought that this was pretty good. It’s a nice slice of life manga where you get to see a lot of deliciously drawn food! I wouldn’t take this too seriously. The MC just accepts how he’s in another world without rhyme or reason and starts bringing ideas over from Japan. He’s OP ofc, but he uses his abilities for other things. I like that he’s a guy who’s into traditionally feminine things. Makes his character likable, and I also enjoyed the theme where you shouldn’t force your beliefs on others. I very much agree with that sentiment. The art and setting’s good, characters are funny and likable, and this is just an enjoyable, light read.

Secret ejaculation

Ongoing | Chaegu | 2022 released

i’m not expecting much from this if i’m entirely honest. the premise is very… horny lmao. there’ll probably be a lot of nsfw and a love angle ofc. maybe a sprinkle of trifling misunderstandings. i hope this proves me wrong! i can say the art is good, though.

Duchess's Lo-Fi Coffeehouse

Ongoing | Nuova,Nnyangmi,Iiaki | 2022 released

Surprise, surprise! I actually quite like this. It’s very chill, very slice-of-life-y, and I’m enjoying the pacing. The fact that the MC was the owner of a café in her previous life— I don’t know what is, but she makes for a very relatable character. Quite refreshing as I more often see the duchess that aims to be the “true lady” of the house. Instead, she just loves lazing around, reading novels, and drinking coffee. I also like the ML, though he’s cold by nature. He’s not a misogynist at the very least.

For you 99%

Complete | A | 2000 released

Not bad! I liked the first season. Though they were “fake” for a majority of the time, their feelings were very much real. I like how the author didn’t drag out the misunderstanding (for too long anyway). Honestly pretty pure and wholesome so far. Great art. Story had it moments. Enjoyable read. 8/10

Entwined

Complete | Yuki Matsushita | 2000 released

Hmm the story didn’t make the most sense to me, but I think that’s just a me problem. I liked this! Thought it was cute. Like the theme of family and all that. Anyway, I think the author tried to make a deeper story but just didn’t quite get there. A little too cliché. The characters just weren’t enough in my opinion. Other than that part of the story, I did love the art.
