Itoshino Inma wa Banken Wanko ga Dokusen Shimasu
Utsukushii Kare
Have to agree with other reviewer. So far, the plot is really lacking. The story is just so depressing. Heck, even just reading this, I feel awful lmao. The MC is a socially awkward bread shuttle while the ML is this beautiful, popular yet mean guy that sometimes stands for him. I haven't a clue of who would be crazy enough to turn this into a drama. Like... why? Maybe if I read some more, I'd understand, but so far, it's just weird.
Osananajimi ha Syuuchaku Love Monster
Was actually pretty sweet. I didn't expect that ending from this manga. I thought it would be cliché and overdone like others I've read, but I think what really moved me was that confession scene. Yes, I know I say that a lot, but it did! It was so romantic and caring. Well done depiction of a pair of childhood friends that turn into lovers. ^^
Kataomoi x Kataomoi
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.
The Voice Next Door
I mean, it's alright…. I was expecting more voicing acting bits, but this was more so a story about miscommunication and accepting yourself? This would've been better had they expanded on the latter detail, but this was on the shorter side after all. One good thing we got was role playing? Jokes aside, pretty okay read. It's rare that you see an innocent top. The side characters felt a little redundant as if the author was trying their damn hardest to shove their ship down my throat, though.
Cosmetic Playlover
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.

Can't get Caught! XXX
This was pretty good for the author’s first work, but it also felt like their first attempt at a proper story as well. The art was splendid, but the story…. was a little chaotic. You have your pervert MC who gets caught literally writing fanfiction of him and his crush…. Embarrassing, but cute? Plus misunderstandings. The MC and the ML really liked each other… No one objects to their relationship, blah, blah, blah. The ending was a little interesting because I find that that’s the charm of fiction—that their time is always on pause yet never ending as long as it is remembered. Wish we had more of the third wheel in their friend group, he was funny. The side story was a fun read. Decent read altogether.
Otona-chan.
