i mean. fantastic dynamic and character growth, lovely art. will maintain that this one is for people who think the 2022 batman and the 2025 superman should kiss, but it’s honestly just such a perfect execution of a large variety of staple tropes (haters to lovers, cinderella, plain x popular, promiscuous but tamed by love, etc) and still manages to be a great, compelling comedy.
a fun, embarrassing-but-sweet comedy along the lines of cherry magic and kieta hatsukoi, and surprisingly earnest towards the end while maintaining its sense of absurd humor. one of my all time favorite tropes in romance is two people who are genuinely a bit fucked up being able to find comfort and acceptance in one another. also, fantastic transfemme rep!!
an icon of the shounen ai genre! the misunderstandings, goofy expressions and the straightforward awkwardness really highlights the feeling of youth and folly. this is one of the only high school stories in the genre that actually feels like its cast is in high school- immature, confused, and easily moved.
a straightforward read with great visual gags to complement its lovely artstyle. sometimes it’s about two best friends tackling their sexuality crises together with the power of love and their ferret. i love the ferret so much. he has (almost!) no plot relevance but he is absolutely the most important character in the comic.
what a great take on the trope of found family; the characters are so vibrant and hilarious.
ngl it’s mostly just porn BUT like halfway through it becomes an interesting look into work/life balance and how it affects relationships. also, i like the way that the characters’ personalities are genuinely consistent.
perhaps my favorite comedy in the bl genre, though the humor is more dry and subtle than most. i love social humor that is borne from misunderstanding politeness and social norms, and i love neurodivergent characters. this is excellent on both counts.
