Alice's manga / #Student x Student(9)

Was really hoping for some Switch action, but it's so cute, I don't mind!

Story was meh.

This is such a good yaoi. Has good themes. Most realistic in terms of storylines. Cute as fuck! Am kinda confused that there was an illness mentioned and then never brought up again?

Cherry Blossoms After Winter is so wholesome, and cute. And I kinda love that the author just gave us pure fluff for the first two seasons, and then when the characters entered college and were of legal drinking age (21) in season three, THATS when we got ALL the smut. So much smut. The storylines were even likeable. Not the annoying cliche typical plot lines. Art was beautiful. I even love that the characters art style changed ever so subtly as they got older. So at the start I didn't think they were attractive, but by the third and fourth season....

Sweet. Two friends. One in love with the other. Practically living together.

One boy desperately wanting to cling to normality, the other just happy to embrace being different it that's what makes him happy. Pretty good for a one shot.

I actually really enjoyed this. The art style put me off to begin with, but I'm really glad I stuck it out. This is one of the most healthy BL relationships I've read. They're straight forward with what they want. They have consent, and are happy to try each others kinks without judgement. There's no toxicity between them over Exs or unrequited loves. And I love that their relationship isn't that of a typical romance story. They didn't fall in love straight away. Instead it was a casual relationship. It was slow and just started as a contentness, and then grew into feelings. The Ex was annoying as fuck, ngl. His arrogance frustrated me so much, but I like that he was included to show that when you're in love with someone, you can be blindsided to some behaviours. I also like the story ark with the brother. He wanted to understand his younger brother, but kinda struggled to do so. I like that their relationship was realistic in that we don't always apologize when we fight, or understand the choices our siblings make, but we still love them and want to support them. Definitely worth reading.
