epiderma's manga / #sweet love(84)

this is a reread for a proper review I will say, the way their first time went was a tiny bit off putting but in the end it worked out..? arata was more than into it and thankfully nothing tore. the pacing was really good, the story was sweet and the characters were well done imo. we don't see everything, like relationships outside of work (besides arata's dad for like, one convo lmao) but I can sort of understand why. I feel like a second volume with potential miscommunication would just ruin this so I'm happy with this ending here. the afterwords are super nice tho, and I'd loveeee to see more. super glad this got a new update otherwise I wouldn't have thought to read it again.. AND OH, MAN. the best part has got to be the art! soo gorgeous, the panels are so well done. the expressions, every move, every tiny detail in the back... GORGEOUS. the scene were arata went after luis and it was snowing got to be one of the PRETTIEST panels I've EVER seen, god damn.

I meannnnn it was good. cute. sweet, even. but man.. I'm SO MAD TOWA WAS THE TOP WAAAAAHHHH NOOOOOOO but besides that, it was emotional, sort of. they had have baggage bit between four people, a lot of dynamic and only 6 chapters it's extremely chaotic and nothing feel fully developed. I liked the concept a lot and the author has a gorgeous artstyle so I liked it just for that shallow reason to begin with.

wow. reread this but mannn this was so cute and adorable jesussssss izuhara has my entire heart!! he's so sweet and cute and I loove delinquent sweethearts (even tho both gangs here are super good, better than that fuckass police lmao). loved the pacing, the characters, how it had no unnecessary conflict or miscommunication or bs and it was so so funny I was cackling like a bitch the entire time!! so awkward and youthful and full of love I couldn't help but adore this!! it'd be such a good future read, too, bc the comedy is so good!

these fucking dorks!!!! I LOVE them!! they felt so natural and actually mature! not to mention how fucking funny and awkward at time this was!! such a good, GOOD, feel good read! I loved how the characters interacted, how each of them had such strong personalities and how well handled it was! the characters feel nuanced and tri-dimensional which is always so good and refreshing! I loved the relationship between them and their daughter, the naturalness of their relationship (to each other and to their ex-wives) and how obviously well they all know one another. also! the daughter's fem boyfriend!! wowza that was so relieving!! 'is it a guy? a girl? BOYFRIEND? why does he look like that?.. HIS angel?? no, no, she's OUR angel..' like that's the peak parent thought-process. this was so good I even had to tell my MOM about it holy shit. Not to mention how fucking funny the censorship was?? what!? man's was sucking dick and we saw what..? a fucking c-smth roll?? lmaoo I love them!!
