ongoing - 8/10 for me only bc this love triangle is soo unbelievably frustrating at the beginning (but the fml does end up with the male lead i like so im happy). this is tagged as shoujo but it doesn’t really delve into romance as often as other shoujo mangas; instead, the plot is heavily centered around a japanese card game. it’s been awhile since ive last watched it, but i remember the anime being really good as well!

ongoing - this is one of my fave bl’s of all time!
the character dynamics are so compelling - the uke is very monotonous and comes across as very one-dimensional; he follows the same day-to-day routine. in contrast, the seme is spontaneous and does everything without giving it much thought. once they cross paths, the uke finds himself grappling with not only his sexuality but also with his identity.
highly recommend this one if you’re into that dynamic! the art style is superb as well

finished - 100/10. rewarded the cutest shoujo ever by ME! i love the author’s art style; it gives me a lot of nostalgia for some reason! the characters have a lot of complexity and emotional depth to them, which makes this shoujo very fresh compared to others imo. however, if you don’t like love triangles, this isn’t for you!
