lilithespark's manga / #school life(890)

5 UGH this is so cuteee. I like how the cross dressing premise was over and done within the first chapter and then we get soooo much established relationship fluff! They’re so cute! This is like rhe definition of a cute school life romance manga, and I love, love, LOVE the comedic elements almsjdjdjd. Reminds me of certain fanfics yk? But this is obvi not a fanfic ofc.

24 The tension between the two leads is so REAL omg. And i love the MC; he’s so relatable! But also oblivious which adds to the comedy of their dynamic. The unrequited love angst really givesss

I liked this! Very complex story with complex characters. This is one of the few BL that centers on one of the leads being closeted. And I think that actually should be talked about more, especially considering Asian countries are still so conservative. Most chapters have soooo much smut, but when it does calm down, I love that this manga isn’t afraid to talk about those topics. I wish that side of the gay experience was explored more, rather than them constantly going at it like rabbits lol. Good read, though.

30 I really like this! The themes of psychological abuse and manipulation are fairly realistic! It seems like those dark themes are more of the focus of the story, rather than the romance. I’ll be really glad to see more healing involved, once the angst and stuff passes over

27 I love that the ML leaves that toxic “friend” who was emotionally manipulating him aljfjdjdjd. It’s so refreshing that the MC cares for him, waits for him, to heal…. I LOVE THEM

25 Yk what they’re cuteee. Exploring their sexualities in adolescence

Mid actually. I rly want to like this, but the drama just feels so contrived… Where’s the spark?? Why do they avoid their problems through sex?? Sighs I thought there would be more acting elements in this, but it’s just your classic, cliché fake dating trope with okay execution. Bc of that I’m not feeling their dynamic ngl. Art is good tho 37

13 Give me moreeee! I like the soccer elements akdhsksjsm

That was…. SAUR good??! It’s gems like these that maintain my hope in BL. It’s criminal how this is so short! Despite the lack of significant relationship development, I loveddd the music elements. Really sweet premise, and I love their dynamic near the end! I wonder how much better this could have been with the characters more flushed out because I really loved THISS and the gorgeous art.

5 Liked their other world version of them more tbh. Wish that was explored more. Feels weird because they’re essentially adults masquerading as high schoolers, which makes me wonder why make them high schoolers in the first place? And depict that smut and all… Eh idk. But mid. Pacing is too fast and rushed for my taste. Good art
