Itou-san (KURAKA Sui)
Uuuuugh the relationship I have with this manga. Why do I always keep coming back and ALWAYS without fail end up crying?!
CASTLE MANGO
Refreshing manga. Both the uke and seme are equally stubborn but I feel thats what makes their feelings for each seem genuine. Clear character development, especially with the uke who not only learns about the lengths he will go to protect his family and the hotel, but also discovers his true feelings for the seme. My only issue was the ending; while I like how they end up together and the whole rain scene was hella romantic, it felt somewhat rushed and not completely satisfying. 20240505 5>3.75 ehhhhhh idk why I really liked this. It's pretty drawn out. The uke is really unlikable and tsundere but needy. The seme It's so frustratingly hot and cold. I have no idea why either of them fell for each other. Plus maybe this is just the Japanese thing but the casualness of joking the seme seems is into "shota" is really uncomfortable.

OH god this is so twisted and sexy and I love every second of it. Gahhhhh it's so hot I'm gonna die!!!!! CHAPTER 10: OH MY GOD I HAVE NO WORDS. ITS EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED AND MORE. IM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS MANGA.
Sayonara, Itoshi No My Friend
Uggggh so good just what I love: two stubborn, insecure, tsundere uke brothers: the youngest is good at everything yet doesn't know what it's like to want anything; the oldest works hard only to be constantly compared to his more talented brother. Good pacing. I laughed. I cried. I felt. Ugh just love it!!!!!!!! Reread: due to personal reasons this manga hit me harder than before. I don't know which uke I love more because I relate to their insecurities so much. I just can't...

Holy shit is this so fucking adorable! This had me mad blushing and heart clenching the whole entire time! I couldn't stop smiling like an idiot the entire time reading this! This is absolutely hilarious and I love the bickering relationship between the uke and seme. Reading this to the blcd made this even more enjoyable because the seiyuus have such good chemistry (UGHHHH Kondo Takashi does such a good job with tsundere ukes!). This as automatically become one of my favorites!

Really like the first couple but not as much as the second one (gahhhhh) Reread: OH GOD I FUCKING CANT. I CANT BELEIVE I ACTUALLY DISMISSED THIS FOR SO LONG. IT IS ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. NO WORDS OTHER THAN THAT. I DONT THINK IVE EVER CRIED THIS MUCH READING A MANGA IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. A PURE MASTERPIECE. MY EYES ARE FUCKING SWOLLEN!!!! YONEDA KOUS UKES = REREAD: It's not nearly as emotional as the last time I read this (maybe I was PMSing that day). And because of that I didn't love this as much as the first read. While I listed it as my second favorite manga, I realize it's not really. It's not a top favorite but it still is a favorite. 20230829- lol brb sobbing

UGH ITS SO FUCKING TWISTED AND INCESTUOUS AND CREEPY. I FUCKING LOVE IT. THE CONCEPT AND ART REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF KURAKA SUI, THE AUTHOR OF ITOU-SAN AKA MY FAVORITE YAOI MANGA. GAHHHHH I CAN'T.
