daftxlove's Manga

The MOST precious yuri work I've ever read in my life. I first read it probably almost 10 years ago, and I still think about it from time to time. So rereading it and realizing it was just as incredible if not moreso as the first time was really heart warming for me. Even though it's pretty light-hearted, there's some pretty interesting social analysis that goes on throughout the story when you look a little deeper - which I always love - especially in same-sex love stories. You can tell the writer has a genuine respect for same-sex relationships, rather than just fetishizing them for a good-time story (which have their place but at the same time can sometimes be unbearable). Overall I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this story!!! <3

WHY IS THIS A ONE-SHOT?! (;A; ) Usually I'm somewhat satisfied with one-shots since I just create a bunch of head-cannon around it lol, BUT ISHIKAWA'S EXPERIENCES ARE SO INTERESTING I WANT TO SEE MORE OF HIM CONTENDING WITH HIMSELF. AND SOMETHING ABOUT HASHIMOTO AND HIS SWEETNESS YET HARD-HEADEDNESS I WANT TO SEE MORE OF HIM<3 This was a really great story.

Hands down one of the classics, with a solid story, developed characters, and amazing romantic development. <3

PSA: PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR PILLS WITH BEER, PROPERLY TAKE THEM WITH WATER. Anyway I f***ing love this story lol.

I LOVE THIS STORY. I read it yeeeears ago and never forgot it. Royce is surprisingly quite an airhead, but I really like him. And Jude is just bad-ass. Also dude, this mangaka draws people of color so beautifully, I wish they would feature many more in their work. Also also, this mangaka is a master of drawing bodies beautiful oh my goodness. Overall highly recommend!!!!

Well that was quite the ride lol. Arata (uke) is a little soft and endured way too fucking much, but I like that he does have some tenacity to him. AND THE ENDING WAS SO SATISFYING OH MY GOSH. I cried at a few parts, honestly this was such a heartfelt work. If you can get past the first chapter or two (which were rough on me because I was enraged by Maki's initial behavior), it's so worth it.

OH THANK F*** FOR THAT PLOT TWIST LOL. Good read.
