4/10 originally, I wasn't going to add this to my list considering the sex is bland in comparison to their word choice (I read and watch a lot of hentai, so most things seem bland). But! The art is gorgeous on close ups and it's cute and simple. It's a group of one-shots that honestly make the author sseem like they should be writing yaoi rather than josei, but what can you do? Still good.
6/10 Good art, good plot. Not too crazy. Just typical relationship stuff. It would be higher if it wasn't so predictable but it was really done well. Jihoon is a Playboy and a pretty one at that. Gwyungwoo is a photgrapber who doesn't want Jihoon as a model, but accepts anyway. When Jh realizes that GW is isn't distracted by his beauty and wiley charms, he's shocked. He makes a bet with himself and his friends to see if he can get through his obliviousness before his job ends.
8/10 thus was a very intricate, very dark story. I enjoyed it immensely, although I was hoping that Taemin would cut his hair after getting used to Siwons body. Siwon tries to commit suicide and while in a coma, Taemin gets hit by a truck. The strength of Taemin's will to live and the desire for Siwon's to die makes them switch souls, allowing Taemin to live on in Siwon's body and Siwon to die in Taemin's. But Taemin now has to deal with the horrible reality that Siwon faced every day.
5/10 It's only so low because it could have been expanded on and I wanted more! Lol. Tatsuki is getting bored with having sex all the time and weirded out by whoever's been stalking him. When he becomes interested in Miyako from his college, he tries to blackmail him into sex, but ends up being blackmailed himself. Tatsuki isn't one to take things lying down so he Co fronts him only to find out that Miyako isn't a student at all but a consultant at his own father's company!
6/10 solid plot and characters. When Aoi is in the middle of being held for ransom, the bodyguard sent to rescue him turns out to be a former junior high classmate. How will their relationship develop? What secrets are they hiding in both the past and the present?
9/10 this was hilarious and great from start to finish. It gets a 9 only because there was no numnum scene for the second couple. The artwork was beautiful and the story unexpected. Tachibana is straight and forced to go to a male strip club with his female boss as punishment for messing up. He is completely entranced with the lead dancer Leo. So much so that he wants to go back but how can a straight man go back and keep his dignity? It's super cute and not what you expect and the art is gorge!
8/10 this was great. Took a minute to get used to the artwork, but I loved all the characters. It was a nice, wholesome story about two long-time friends, Henry and Sam. Henry has loved Sam forever but doesn't want to cross that line and possibly destroy their relationship. In fact, that's all he cares about, but when Sam's divorce leads him to be more forthcoming and reliant on Henry, Henry deciees it's time for some very clear boundaries in the form of a boy named Seth. How will Sam react?
5/10 this was so freaking cute! I loved it so much. When Miike decides to confess his love, his crush hands his letter to her older brother, mistaking it for him. When Hifumi seriously pursues Miike, he doesn't know what to do at first but is determined to set things right, but it seems Hifumi doesn't want to give him that chance! Super cute and fluffy with a little angst. Characters are asy and the pace is steady.
4/10 super cute, funny and fluffy. Hinata is your typical, below-average student who has always dreamed of falling in love--with a boy! He wants a fluffy, manga-like romance so he moves in with a friend of his family and their sons in order to go to an all-boys school! Will his overactive imagination have him falling for his new housemate, the gap-moe delinquent, or his house mate's devious lil bro?!
4/10 this one left me with mixed feelings. A fantasy where an android version of your perfect lover is actually a carbon copy (in looks) of a real person. There's a time limit before they disappear, so how should you spend your days? And what will you do when you meet the real one? It's not the same person, but maybe, in some ways it is.... I had a hard time justifying the love between the humans when they lost their androids because they're not the same personality, only the same body.

Well, it won't let me add a section for description so here I am AGAIN. (Can you hear me sighing?) Anyway this is a continuation of my other list, marked by a 2 for convenience. A list of manga, webtoons, manhwa and others that I always go back to, whether for the artwork, the characters or the story. Mostly the story. There's probably going to be a lot of yaoi in this list (no yuri, for anyone looking) and shoujo, but it will be a rather eclectic sampling of both, I'm sure. Everything is marked out of a high-standard 10, so in order to make the list, the manga had to be a 10 normally already. I guess you can say that everything is out of 20, with a 10 minimum in order to make it. Hope you enjoy.
