Ambrosia's manga / #first love(2)

list - masterlist, cinnamon, seme pov, This was really sweet! It was interesting if not completely unique, but it was written really well so it felt fresh and made an impact on me. Lots of attention to detail that made the characters feel real and made the writing really stand out to me, for example when Ichigo says all the things in his imaginary world and then the line "a strawberry can't become a peach....i can't become my sister" when their names are Ichigo (strawberry) and Momo (peach). Or when Hirono realizes that Hime is afraid of thunder because of the night when his sister died or afraid of that being ignored hurts him more bc of how his mother treated him. It was really beautiful. The characters were wonderfully mature in their own way, while still being kids and struggling to figure out themselves and their feelings and come to terms with their sexuality. They still tried to own up to their actions and communicated their feelings and apologized in a way that with much more emotional maturity than I see in many stories with adults. The characters were well fleshed out with reasons for their actions and beautiful character development. Even the mom had an understandable reason and had closure in the end. Along with the main story/plot, these are kids figuring themselves out, finding love, and growing up along the way and it was beautiful to read about. I only wish there was more. 10/10 5/5

list - shounen ai, cotton candy, opposites This was SO ADORABLE!! Omg I love them so much?!! A slow build up of their relationship but it was a nice pacing. Nerd and delinquent but the delinquent is actually a good guy misunderstood. Both are very sweet and innocent, both new to love to they try to figure it out together. Nerd can see red string and realizes his feelings first, but doesn't dwell to much and is honest and confesses. Yankee takes his confession seriously and thinks things over, but in the meantime they grow closer as friends. They are both so sweet and innocent that we don't even get a kiss scene, and while I would have wanted maybe one more volume of them being lovey dovey, it was quite a lovely story. Enjoyed it a lot, very fluffy with no unnecessary drama.
