(haru + gaku )
+ childhood friends to lovers! nothing much,, just two best friends who fell for each other—well, there was a one-sided pining from ML
+ i think it was cute? it was just a typical highschool love story HAHSHA i guess what i liked about it was ML's sincerity :)) he never deflected or declined his feelings for MC ᐠ( ᐢ ᵕ ᐢ )ᐟ
+ the pacing on MC's part was kind of fast, ngl i think he fell too fast? but i also kind of get it because they were literally stuck together ever since~ he probably just realized he also had sights for ML and never actually acknowledged it
+ overall, it was a wholesome read ^0^ no miscommunication or annoying conflicts just two friends who fucked around (not literally) and found out they were better off as boyfriends (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎) art is pretty too
(kengo + maya )
+ persistent customer x in denial bar owner to lovers HAHA we have a college student MC who's very persistent in asking out ML— fairly older (and hot!) bar owner. after multiple tries, he finally gets the "yes" he's been asking for ᐠ( ᐢ ᵕ ᐢ )ᐟ
+ this was so funny like, i think the plot was lowkey nonexistent, but damn the humor LMAO i think i was the target audience
+ also, the freaking dynamic ????? we need more size difference couples plus MC tops !!!! UGH ML is so fucking hot as a bot ISTG I LOVE POWER BOTTOMS (⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝)
+ ngl, i was kinda scared that haruma would be annoying, but i was proven wrong HAJSHS HE WAS SUCH A FUN ADDITION i love when 2nd MLs eventually become the MCs friends lol they were so gooofy
+ overall, this was just a short & silly read the art is okay~ i think i lowkey got confused with haruma & maya for a bit since they looked quite similar in some panels ( ◔‸◔? ) but other than that, i had fun reading
(iguchi + sou )
+ schoolmates to friends to lovers !! adooooorable~ MC loves makeup & fashion, and he coincidentally meets his "nonchalant" schoolmate (ML) wearing feminine clothes & makeup in one of his beauty idol's events
+ they start going on more events together & became closer through exploring their interests ૮(˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)ა it's been a while since i've read this so i forgot the nitty gritty; however, their cuteness still remains
+ i loveeeee how comfortable they are in their own skin (*ˊᗜˋ*) their romance felt very natural as well~ i liked how love was portrayed in having security and feeling a sense of relief with your partner
+ i love how they were both cheering each other on to go for their dreams (◞‸◟♡) their friends were all very supportive toooo~ and of course, the freaking time skip was so WHOLESOME love how they still stayed the same after all those years >< art style is sooo gorgeous i'll probably read more of author-nim's works now :))
(ryo + yusei )
+ old classmates to "roommates" to lovers~ we have a reencounter, fake dating, and cohabitation situation going on here with a good plot twist at the end too (>ᴗ•) !
+ we have MC who's looking for his gf x ML who's a yakuza that was hunting down MC's gf since she scammed them. coincidentally, MC & ML were actually high school classmates with an adorable history i love their dynamic !!!! ><
+ i actually enjoyed this a lot hehe it was kind of cliché, i won't lie, but it was the good kind though i will admit, the pacing was toooo fast i feel like MC's feelings needed more time to simmer LMAO he was literally in a "relationship" a minute ago (◞‸◟ㆀ)
+ overall, this was very cutesy & had pretty art there wasn't any annoying miscommunication whatsoever :)) they were quite straightforward with their feelings hehe and their dating phase was pretty wholesome too ML's reveal though !!!! damn,, i did not expect that ૮(˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)ა that part made me bump the rating for this one since i was quite taken aback
(hayase + tokitou )
+ work rivals to fubus to lovers! we have MC who came from the countryside x ML who's the CEO's son—and also MC's competitor in the office (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎)
+ both are unaware that the other's gay, and one drunken night turns everything upside down—in a good way their progress, chemistry, banter, and dynamic ATE !! (*ˊᗜˋ*) i loveeee how they both healed each other's loneliness inside
+ the rivalry they had became their motivation to do better which was nice if i remember correctly, ML fell first, but MC fell harder (◍•ᴗ•◍) i love how outspoken MC was with how he felt ₍ᐢ..ᐢ₎♡ he even made ML cry because of his confession :')) cuties! <3
+ overall, this was such a wholesome & fun read !! they deserve a 2nd volume PLS ^0^ this author's works are BANGERS art style, plot, and dynamics are always a 10/10 for me can't wait for more (>ᴗ•) !
pretty short but ADORABLE read !!! t'was grounded on PWP but the two of them became such a cute couple (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎) the moments leading up to ML's first time was so wholesome since MC really took care of him i wish we got more side stories huhu i really wanna see their lives in the human world ( ˶ˊᜊˋ˶ ) anyway, live love laugh the author & artist of honey bear !!!! truly the perfect combo always producing top tier & witty content ᐠ( ᐢ ᵕ ᐢ )ᐟ
(ahrim + taehun )
+ t'was cute? schoolmates to lovers mutual pining~ where MC has mind reading powers whenever he comes into contact with someone once he comes into contact with ML, he discovers ML's fantasies about him !!!
+ was this just PWP? well, yes but was it still adorable? also, YES ᐠ( ᐢ ᵕ ᐢ )ᐟ i really liked how much of a simp ML was for MC :'(( they had good communication & their dynamic as black cat x golden retriever also took the cake
+ the art style is gorgeous !!! i love when they make characters with PLUMP lippies MC's features are the cutest (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎) he's similar to characters in tu quoque & swing baby i'm looking forward to more works from this author in the future ૮(˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)ა
(haruki + shige )
+ strangers (customer & florist) to friends to lovers it's a yakuza boss who fell in love at first sight MC x young blind florist who slowly fell for the former's acts of service ML (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎) i think this may also have a bit of an age gap, though only the ML's age was mentioned~
+ honestly, this had soooo much potential it was heavily similar to "touch within the abyss" but had it's own touch to it. however, the execution and pacing just felt a little too messy, plus the connection between them felt loose (´･_･`)
+ i would say, they seemed cute i love how in love MC was !!! his soft side always appears whenever he's around ML i just wish there was more to it~ maybe a 2nd volume would help elevate their relationship :))
+ overall, it was still an interesting read these kinds of pairing are still quite rare, so it's heartwarming to see blind representation in bl romances ૮(˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)ა i wish more authors get the courage to explore and make stories for people with disabilities lastly, the art is pretty !!
(himeno + ouji )
+ classmates to friends to lovers! cutie little babies ^^ it starts off with MC who's viewed as a "prince" in their campus because of how diligent, handsome, and reliable he is ML is a reserved manga artist who's often tagged as a "nerd" because he mostly keeps to himself one random argument between them led to opening up to each other—and teaming up to produce a shoujo manga (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎)
+ yooo this was too adorable ???? i love them both so much they're too precious >< their reactions when they found out they were both each other's first kiss ( ˶ˊᜊˋ˶ ) TOOO CUTE !!! every interaction they had was so sweet and wholesome :< I NEEDED MORE (T_T)
+ i loved the pacing, the development, chemistry, and visuals just like MC, i'm also obsessed with how ML's eyes sparkle every time he's invested in something
+ in addition, i also love how both of them are comfortable showing their genuine selves to each other ₍ᐢ..ᐢ₎♡ there weren't any unnecessary drama, they had good communication, and the skinskip was just right ૮(˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)ა
+ ngl, i loved the timeskip, BUT I WANT MOREEE we need at least another volume i'm really looking forward to this author's other works because they seem promising
(kei + maki )
+ best friends to parents to lovers !!!! hehehe ૮(˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶)ა i haven't read about this kind of trope yet (i think?) AND I'M SO HERE FOR IT this is actually one of my delusions,, because how awesome is that to take care of a kid with your bff ???? THE DREAM! (don't judge) also, why is this so underrated
+ the MCs dynamics as parents though SO ADORBS !!! mako's having the time of her life inside of that fun household their personalities and goofiness make up a loving home ( ˶ˊᜊˋ˶ )
+ i love how they were probably both pining for each other, but because of ML's past, he never realized that he was actually in love with his best friend :'(( i love how mako was acting like their counselor LMAO! she saw right through them their conversation as a family was very emotional,, i'm so happy they got their happy ending
+ GUYS! the time skip we need moooooreeee !!! they were soooo freaking wholesome (◞‸◟♡) mako grew to be such a beautiful and mature young lady >< while the two lovebirds are still as in love as ever i love them !!! i want what they have !!! the art is gorgeous too i wish there were more stories with this kind of trope & dynamic (◍•ᴗ•◍)
