Love or Hate
(Manga)
add
Love or Hate is by far the most realistic love triangle I’ve read to date, and at no point does it come off as tacky or overly-cliché. While it’s not perfect, it definitely stands out from other BL comics I’ve read. The story hits its peak around chapter 60, and if I were rating based on the first half of the story alone, I would have given it a 10. Later on, the story becomes too plot-heavy and unromantic. The ending wasn’t necessarily bad; everything made sense and was wrapped up nicely. But at the same time, it wasn’t enjoyable or

Osomatsu-san 3rd Season
(Anime)
add
I’m a longtime fan of Osomatsu-san, but while watching season three it has become very apparent to me that the writers are running out of ideas.

I was very surprised to find that I was REALLY enjoying the story as it progressed. Like, a lot.

Kuroshitsuji
(Manga)
add
When I initially started the Kuroshitsuji manga at age fourteen, pretty much the only thing that inspired me to read was my massive and probably unhealthy obsession with Sebastian. As you can probably guess, I wasn't very concerned about the plot.
Now that I'm older, I'm able to admit that the first couple of arcs were pure agony and completely monotonous to read. Kuroshitsuji is a great example of how an author can improve over time. The art at the beginning of the series was quite frankly rough and ugly(think Junjou Romantica), the story was boring and pointless for the most part, and ... |
