10/10 goddamn so good.

𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆:
Volume 1 - hot guy who's making hats rescues hot guy who's planning to die, from the rain.

Volume 2 - ex mafia members.

𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘀:
- one of my fav artstyles. the plot is complex and the characters are unique. lots of consent and good drama. and yakuza, who wouldn't love this

𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀:
- kinda confusing especially the 2nd volume
- slow updates

: slightly none (1st vol)

10/10
I expected a lot worse giving this twisted type of plot but so far (end of season 2) it was really good and it's probably one of the first time I'm witnessing a real character development. It's refreshing and I'm hoping for a 3rd amazing season.

𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘀:
- DA ARTSTYLE? DAWG MY EYES IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL
- I love this author and their refusal to use trashy clichés, such as love triangles and bringing back characters who aren't necessary

9/10 ~ my first one

𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆:
(61c) - ever wondered what a gay, vampire from a corrupt racial universe who's into bdsm will look like? well yea, it's basically the child of Twilight and 50 Shades of Gray.. but like way better

𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘀:
- great artstyle
- good plot

𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀:
- it gets weird sometimes
- not the best bdsm rep but it's historical (still better than 90% of BLs)

: bdsm, they fck a lot

10/10 good shit

𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆:

nice dude getting dumped by his gf finds himself next to a dude in the morning and claims to not remember anything they did that night. shit gets complicated but it's beautiful

10/10
i cried

𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆:
this is a story from the same universe as the one above. Gene is a relative of Theo. I recommend reading this after the 1st one, not necessary. I won't give any spoilers.

𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘀:
- the way the characters, the bodies are drawn is just beautiful

𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀:
- there's a pretty big age gap between them, but keep in mind it's '70s. Things were seen differently back then.. unfortunetly.

10/10
𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆:
starting off with one of the best out there. a depressing story that's unfortunately too realistic. two young boys trying hard to stay together in a world that wants them killed.

𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘀:
i cant even express in words how good the rep is. it's beautiful and i love them both so much. *dramatic music*

: yes.

10/10

𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆:
this one is based on a real story. Nanasaki Ryousukes and his husband were the first to get legally married in Japan and this is Nakasaki's life until it happened.

- There's no pros or cons for obvious reasons.

9/10

𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆:
dude bodyguard ends up sharing his home with his new buddy bodyguard (they protect a famous lil brat). u can figure out what happened next or just read it, it's good.

𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘀:

- the blondie too

𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀:
