Gotsugou Simulation is about Riku and Yaichi, two boys that have a crush on each other but are utterly helpless when it comes to acting on it so they fantasize about dating each other instead.
It's a very funny manga, the plot is interesting and their imaginations mixing up with reality end up creating some pretty funny expectation x reality moment. That being said, it could probably have been more explored and done in a more interesting way or maybe with more interesting situations.
The development of their relationship is okay, somewhat natural (though there's a little help from a dog). The art is not very good

Katakoi Lamp
(Manga)
add
Katakoi Lamp is a bit of a weird manga. The plot seems simple enough, Kazuto runs a coffee shop and Jun is a regular customer who can't seem to take his eyes off him. Before Kazuto realizes, he's already in love with Jun but not everything is as it seems and not everything will run as smoothly as Kazuto thinks and hope for.
Now, my main issues with this manga are 1) Kazuto's way of getting close to Jun and 2) Kyosuke and Hisara. While Kazuto just felt like a weirdo and a creep, Kyosuke and Hisara seemed like completely meaningless characters that were there only ... Sep 14, 2022
Kimi wa Boku no Ohimesama
(Manga)
add
I picked up Kimi wa Boku no Ohimesama randomly, I just needed something to read today in the morning but boy, do I regret it. I don't have any way to describe it other than I felt like I was reading a fanfiction by a 14yo girl obsessed with both disney and gay couples but have no idea of how they actually work, so instead of getting a very bad BL, we got a VERY bad shoujo manga, because it honestly seemed like I was reading a manga about an extremely disjointed straight couple, but gay. Cinderella? Princess? Prince? Really? Like are you 100% for

Neko ni Sasageru Curtain Call
(Manga)
add
Neko ni Sasageru Curtain Call is weird. It tells the story of Sakuya, a college student who loves cats, and Haru, a super model who takes a liking to him after seeing him fend off some deliquents to protect the kittens in the park.
After that, Sakuya finds out Haru actually lives on the apartment next to his and attend the same college as well. From then on they start some sort of friendship but it's awkward to see their interactions. It's also awkward to see their interactions with their work colleagues or their other friends, it doesn't really feel natural and their development also feels a ... Aug 17, 2022
"Suki" da nante Zettai ni Iwanai
(Manga)
add
Suki da Nante Zettai ni Iwanai is a painful read. It's about childhood friends Mamoru and Kanato (Kana from now on), that upon confessing his love to Mamoru, was received with a very cruel response and proceeded to pretty much disappear from his life.
Despite his childhood friend going away, Mamoru was never able to neither forget nor forgive himself for the things he had said to Kana, so he decides to go find him again when high school starts. And wouldn't you know, upon arriving at his new high school dorms, Mamoru finds out they are roommates. But even after a touching reunion, things don't go ... Aug 13, 2022
Sono Kareshi, Kikan Gentei ni Tsuki is a very wholesome story. It's centered around Chitose, a bookworm, and Riku, ex-captain of the baseball team. They don't really seem to have anything in common, but despite that, they're on friendly terms. Still, when Riku confesses to Chitose, he is caught by surprise, as he thought his secret admirer was sure to be a cute girl younger than him instead of his baseball friend. Riku asks Chitose to go out with him for only two weeks, just to make some memories, and Chitose ends up complying.
Upon the start of their two weeks timer, they start to go ... Aug 12, 2022
Reset is a great manga. The three characters we follow are Touma, the "main character" of sorts, Sou and Maki.

The three of them are involved with the basketball club, Touma is their manager, Sou is the club's captain and Maki is also a member of the team.
The plot lays within Touma and Sou's relationship. Despite being a couple for a while now, Touma is not sure about Sou's feelings because of the way they started dating: when Sou was crying on Touma's shoulder because ... Aug 11, 2022
Koi wa Inamono Komarimono
(Manga)
add
Koi wa Inamono Komarimono has a pretty average plot. Takeda is a very serious and hard-working student while Fukamachi seems to be more of the laid-back and carefree type. Regardless of that, however, Fukamachi always tops Takeda on everything, be it looks, athletics or grades. Takeda then starts seeing Fukamachi as his rival, or even enemy, but things get shaky when he receives a love confession from Fukamachi.
Despite Fukamachi's somewhat pushy attempts to close the distance between them, Takeda manages to stand his ground and keep him at arm's length. But as they grow closer and start to get more involved with each other's life, ... Aug 10, 2022
Fukurou-kun to Kare
(Manga)
add
If you're like me and didn't know Fukurou-kun to Kare is more or less part of a series and more of a sequel than just an independent spin-off (although it can absolutely be read like one) to Chuchun ga Chun and just randomly picked it up and reading, you might not understand the low rating but bear with me.
Fukurou-kun to Kare is about Fukurou, a TV sports announcer, and Shiratori one of the most proeminent baseball players at the moment. Fukuro gets as his first task making a report on Shiratori, since no female announcers can be assigned to him because they always end ... Aug 10, 2022
Super Natural
(Manga)
add
Super Natural is about Noburu and Daichi, two beauty school students that are very close, always together from their dorms to their schoolwork. But their dynamic suffers a sudden change when Noburu starts thinking of Daichi as more than a friend.
Noburu and Daichi are total opposites. While Noburu is laid-back and, for better or for worse, wears his heart on his sleeve, Daichi is passionate, hard-working and more or less secretive about his thoughts. Upon realizing his feelings, Noburu has a lot of trouble dealing with Daichi and controlling his feelings and that is shown very well, especially when their own group of friends point ... |
