COMPLETED AND REVIEWED: Yaoi Romance

Art: 5★
Plot: 3.5★
Characters: 3.5★

A fun five chapter romp. plot doesn't have much depth, but you didn't come to an omegaverse yaoi manga for the plot. Akane and Aoi are both funny and likeable characters and the art is phenomenal. I also love that the story is set as a story that they're telling their daughter while they're happily married and successful.

fake toxic yaoi lovers in the comments of this manga... god forbid a seme gets a little silly and manipulative... minoru and mitsu remind me of bingqiu which is probably why i liked this story so much. i love a manipulative/crybaby puppy seme. The plot was pretty stereotypical but it's to be expected. plus it doesn't drag on long enough for you to get annoyed. all in all a really tight (for lack of a better word) and sweet story.

Cute and funny with likeable enough characters, but the pacing felt really strange. First chapters went slowly and the ending felt rushed. I know it's only a six chapter manga but I feel like taiju just left and came back without enough explanation so it didn't feel like a proper resolution. That being said it was still cute and entertaining enough.

The romance hadn't even started yet and I was already giddy BC of how damn beautiful the art was. The story was clean, resolved in a way that felt believable. I would have loved more chapters to flesh out their character arcs but the mangaka did wonderfully within the restrictions they had. Both Taiga and Kei's perspective and feelings were realistic and grounded. A nice neat resolution and happy ending.

Sweet and cute. I love yoriko so much and they always deliver. The plot wasn't crazy or anything but the pacing felt just right for the length. Younger seme is my FAVOURITE trope ever and this was just so fluffy and cute!

I loveeeee when the seme is a little crazy... Absolute cinema. The pacing of this story was a bit scattered though i really liked the characters and their dynamic.

On the fence. It's strange how the SA in nozomi's backstory + the results of it are handled so carefully while tatsuyukis gets brushed aside not even 2 chapters later + his rapist just gets forgiven? the double standard kind of took me out of the story. I <3 Nozomi and tatsuyuki's relationship and each of them as characters held up well too. The part where Nozomi said he works with kids bc he doesn't want there to ever be any kids like him. tears.

Cute. Suzume & Jin were sweet together + the whole gang of sparrows were all fun & interesting. Plot itself is basic but cute. wish we got to explore deeper into Jin's self expression. It's stated clearly that he liked wearing dresses + cute things but just stopped bc of bullying. Would have loved if he got 2 gain more confidence + explore this again later in the story. I feel like it would have been impactful to put into a queer stor

gorgeous art. i feel like we could have expanded more on ayato's disability? bc what he has is definitely a disability. ik its just a way to make him & rio have sxual tension but the boy faints bc of it on multiple occasions. Ayato+Rio have a believable enough arc that i can see y they end up together. wish we got to see more of y rio decided 2 be a hairdresser. ik it's bc of his mom but is it bc he was inspired by her? or does he want to support her?

actual slop. i couldnt look away. best part of this manga was that it ended in under ten chapters. the first pair were kinda cute but switching to not just one, but TWO side pairings when you only have seven ish chapters of wiggle room is insanity. All three pairings suffered as a result and I'm not even touching on the nature of the second and third pairings. read this one if you want to waste half an hour of your life.
