lilithespark's manga / #school life(890)

46 just so good! even though this is tad dramatic with the mc being a prolific music artist. love how he appreciates his fans and his relationships with other characters in the story. you can really feel the emotions and even the music! even if u can’t hear it. the art is gorgeous too

This is just like a melodrama. Miscommunication galore. There’s a lot of sex mixed with guilt. I liked the aspect where the dark haired MC is like the heir to a shrine. I found that part very beautiful. It’s basically rape, and the plot is just pretty weird… I really liked the extra at the end of volume two with them being kind of awkward at the start of their relationship (after being friends for so long). I would’ve liked to see more of that fluff instead of the overly drawn out, bland drama

This starts off with blackmail, but it becomes cute near the end. Also, sexual assault? Like you don’t just kiss someone randomly and get off easily. I don’t know if it was the fast pacing, but I didn’t really enjoy this the way other people did. Mid.

45 Really good exploration of youth with rock! Gotta love the musical elements and the drama

8 Ahh I really love this. You don’t really see archeology mixed with ML. This is really interesting and cute! Loved the metaphors/general writing style. I liked how the leads are pretty open about being gay.

5 this story does NOT deserve this bad of a rating. sure, this isn’t a masterpiece, but it’s a decent read. it has funny moments (misunderstanding) and is fairly enjoyable. the angst isn’t overly drawn out and feels accurate to the characters, which is refreshing. fast paced, light read

am at a loss for words… This is definitely a love triangle romance, but I actually loved this? Which is kind of ironic because I tend to stay away from stuff like that. I really liked how this manga touches on the struggles of people who aren’t “normal” in society, but what even is normal? This really explores the struggles of youth and their struggles towards the future, young love, women and sexism, queerness, toxic masculinity, etc. The storytelling is great, full of complexities and nuances. All the characters have their own perspectives on things, and it feels so realistic that way. I love how they communicate honestly, and it makes everything so raw and refreshing. This is such an EXPERIENCE, and the art is lovely— and I just have so much praise for this. I would say this is kind of lacking in the romance department, but you could also say this is more school life/slice of life.

Felt mostly like I was reading about horny teenagers, which the leads are. Once you get past that, it’s not horrible. I really love the childhood friends to lovers trope, so this is ofc right up my alley. Along with the puppy love fluff, I also appreciated the realism surrounding their relationship, how they should navigate life together, and so on. It’s a typical coming of age story, but it’s executed fairly well. Good read. And the art is so gorgeous!

yooo wtf was that plot twist in the last chap *sobs* pretty smutty. pretty weird. pretty cute? fluffy? this was one hell of a read.

Fluffy (and smutty) after story! There’s def potential for something more, but I liked this with its school life elements.
