Tigerstar☆'s Manga

liked it. i can't write a like. good and accurate review because i skimmed it while watching a video so. you know. thats how good it is. good enough to read, i enjoyed parts of it, but it wasn't so good i wanted to pause my video.

I liked the first story (v v cute) but i didn't like literally any of the other ones. ch 5 i literally skipped because i just wasn't in the mood but apparently that one was extra sad so, i'll make sure to skip that one especially going forward.

don't go here but goddamn nice art. dialogue is surprisingly sexy as well. a little on the short side but nothin we can't work with.

I only read season 1. this is. fine. it's fine. it's a very very mediocre piece of bl without any real stand out qualities. i dunno i was just hoping it would be... good? and it very much is not. arts decent for the most part, with the exception of the sex scenes. those just are not it, absolutely no sensuality is captured there. plots a collection of contrived coincidences and misunderstandings (also why does the author keep falling back on sa as a plot point. YUCK!). the characters are pretty dull and generic, i can't tell you much about any of them in particular. i DID like how much of a green flag the seme is, when he thought the uke got married he was fully ready to support him from a distance so long as he was happy and i thought that was really sweet.
all in all a 3/10 for what i read. it's SERVICEABLE i guess but i decided it wasn't worth finishing :/

hrm. mid. very much a product of it's time with all the tropes you'd expect. the seme is a dick throughout and the poor sincere side character is completely tossed aside. all the actual relationship development is super rushed and not very believable. ALSO! it starts with the uke almost getting assaulted and like come on man. what the hell. i know it tradition for the uke to be weak and pathetic and need protecting but he's a cop shouldn't he be able to take care of himself even just a little orz.
the art is really lovely though. the seme is a unprofessional dickhead most of the time but god is he handsome huh.

hai hai i'm still in the extras but i wanted to get the main parts of the review down before i forget.
the main story is fine. the characters are a little bland and wishy washy but... there's something to be said for fuwa fuwa sweet guys every once and a while. the story was pretty solid (although i think the initial misunderstanding is way too contrived). the arts good all the way through, i like the mcs ex in the first portion of extras. a 7/10 so far.
i will say everyone in the comments whos all 2nd couple > main couple is... i won't say they're delusional lets say they have very different tastes then me. not enjoying the second couple at all they irritate me fr fr. they hit a specific thing i dislike in which the best friend character gets together with the antagonist for the main story. like hes a nice guy he could do better. this guys an asshole. idk i haven't finished yet but. i can't see myself changing my mind to much.

everything is sfw so far -w-)b

i wish i had something more to say about this ones. it's. fine. like 6/10. its competent but not great. the art really doesn't do it for me, it's just a little stiff in a way i really don't like. and the linework isn't pleasing at all.

I liked a lot about this manga. i feel like the main couple had a really surprisingly good relationship. when something happened they always talked it out like rational adults it was honestly very very refreshing. like when the seme saw the uke was getting texts from a girl he brought it up the same night, he didn't stew on it and get bent out of shape. and when the love rival kissed the uke the very next thing he did was talk to the seme about it. also he got so upset he cried about it, which was really nice to see. so often it feels stuff like that gets brushed aside, especially if its "just" a kiss. i thought the first couple chapters where we indulged in the fantasizing gimmick were pretty funny. while i was a little sad to see the comedy fall by the wayside as we progressed i feel like the author captured some really good drama and emotion in the later chapters in exchange.

all that said theres also some stuff i didn't really love. the arts is... interesting. the author puts a lot of effort into very detailed eyes and the style they use for the first portion... it's attention grabbing and clearly very purposeful but it's a little distracting. a little to much. it changes as we go on so that's good at least. aside from that the faces are quite good, i think the author has a very unique way of shading blushes with is very cute. their overall anatomy could use some work though... a lot of the sex scenes, especially the later ones look a bit rough. lastly this manga hits a bit of a pet peeve of mine, in which the characters are dating and in love (very very sweetly i might add genuinely lovely relationship) but insist they aren't gay. or bi. or any kind of attracted to men. and it's just... i KNOW the point of this kind of thing is to be like soulmates <3 it can't be anyone but you <3 but it just rubs me the wrong way. you can be soulmates and be gay i promise. not to police fictional characters identities but if you're dating a man i don't think you're straight anymore babe.

god i got carried away on the review here uh. overall a 7/10. i think the actual relationship between the leads is REALLY excellent but some nitpicks with certain story beats and slightly rough art hold this back from a higher rating.

review for the main story: it's. okay. like. it's a 7/10. above average, interesting plot decent art. characters were always up to some shit which kept things lively. the antagonist was so crazy, like the worst manipulative hateful ex boyfriend ever. he didn't end up trying to kill the uke so i'll give him points for that i guess. i enjoyed reading it but i don't think there much here to compel me to read again. i'm satisfied with my experience with it. i thought the ending on the last main chapter was really good.
i really liked the best friend character he was a real one. i didn't like how they insinuated the antagonist and the best friend might get together at the end. i know people can change so i GUESS he could grow as a person but i just feel like the best friend deserves better. we'll see if the epilogue delve into it, if not it's literally just the LIGHTEST insinuations so it's no biggie.

man this just kinda sucked. the art was extremely rough, the story felt rushed and disjointed and the sex all sucked. their first time was raw in a bathroom stall. if you love somebody thats not how you act >_> and the noncon is ch6 was so fucking unnecessary. i thought the seme was supposed to be a sweet kind person but whenever shit gets spicy he turns into the worst person in the world :/
