Day 17/30 of the Yurithon:
I thought that this yuri was just going to be some weird nonsense that I would relatively enjoy in the moment, then promptly forget about after reviewing. I hope I was wrong, but I've read so many excellent yuri that I can't guarantee anything. Be that as it may, "I Can't Believe I Slept with You!" was a fun read. I thought for sure that this manga would be way more erotic than it actually was; I've definitely seen this premise in a lot of "media" before. But in spite of that, the author somehow manages to turn a sort of ... pet-and-owner relationship into a believable and cute romance. That being said, I really needed more dimensions to both Chiyo and Ritsuka; they largely go through the story with the same personality and don't undergo much change in terms of character. Ritsuka's awkward meeting with a high school friend was interesting, but I just wanted more of that. The side characters definitely could've used more fleshing out; Aoi worked well enough as a basic friend character, but I feel like Setouchi's story at least deserved a conclusion, and I'm not sure if Yotsugaya should've even been introduced, considering she basically has no considerable purpose in the story. However, I can easily commend the pacing and length of the manga; I never felt like my time was wasted and there weren't really any lulls in the story. This is probably the most seven-out-of-ten yuri I've read (a.k.a., it's mid).

Ichido dake demo, Koukai Shitemasu (sorry, i am not going to use the cringe english title) is a short and sweet story between a landlord and bummy unemployed tenant. It's a bit similar to Monthly in the Garden with My Landlord but it's a bit spicier. The intimate scenes aren't too graphic though and are actually quite sweet. I really like how the relationship between the characters developed even though the premise is a bit silly (returning "favors" to pay for rent). I really like the more simplistic artsyle as well. It also is clear that the author was intending to do more with the ... side characters and backstory but unfortunately there isnt enough space to fit all that within 3 volumes.

I've never been more pleasantly surprised. The title alone seems comedic, but this manga is nothing but a heartfelt, wholly gay story. It mostly takes place in the home, so you get a LOT of domestic fluff, but its also a gl that follows the lives of two adults, which is a little harder to find without being violently angsty or sexual.

The characters are adorably designed, with differentiating body types and faces that make the art style very squishy but not generic. It doesn't over-saturate the fact they're gay, but its important to the story and the characters themselves. For such a quick read, it's ... funny, well paced, and satisfying. I just really think this is cute and a perfect read for when you're feeling cold or lonely.
