if you enjoy super slow burn romance, this is for you. the story is really nice, there isn't a lot of drama and it's mostly fluff. the author addresses a few topics like compulsory heterosexuality and asexuality in a very mild way, it's pretty subtle. the art is very beautiful, really cute. this manga was really lovable, it gives u a warm feeling. after all this compliments, i have to say this has some downsides too. the last volume was really underwhelming. since the story is so beautiful and wholesome, i was kinda expecting a more romantic finale, which i didn't get. the final chapters ... were too fast-paced and out of place, it just didn't feel natural. since the characters had a great chemistry, i was expecting more of it. but overall, it's a nice manga. i will still recommend it.

i love this BL. this is the type of manga that really portraits the built of a relationship in a natural way. most of BL can be pretty unrealistic - which is fine, since it's fiction - but whenever i read a manga like this one, it just feels a breath of fresh air. both characters are great, they have great chemistry and i love how real they were. im not talking abt their appearance, but their personalities. and their relationship is lovable. the art is great too, i love this style too. i think the only bad thing was the side story, that was ... really weird, so i recommend you to skip it. but the main story is awesome.

what's up with BL authors that can't develop a relationship properly? i keep getting disappointed over this and it's tiring. i mean, the overall plot is pretty interesting, the characters are well-made, but the romance is... lacking. it felt really fast-paced and how they became a couple was really underwhelming. even with a manga with less chapters, u can create a nice pace and well structured relationship. the art is pretty nice, i loved the characters design. the manga is not that bad, but it didn't stood out to me. it's pretty forgettable, i don't think i will re-read it someday.

this manga is pretty fun and cute, but i was really underwhelmed with the development. since it's a yuri and it's related to music, i had huge expectations on this. i think the chatacters are pretty captivating and likable, but the relationship between the MCs was kinda... unnatural. like i couldn't grasp how they developed their feelings, specially hibiki's. it felt really out of place, which is unfortunate because i love them as characters. as a couple i don't see a lot of chemistry, mainly because of how their romantic relationship was built.
this is my only issue with this work, overall it was a ... great read, really fun, so i would recommend to anyone who likes this type of manga.

To say that Kakeochi Girl is just a good manga that would be an understatement. Kakeochi Girl is a heart-wrenching experience that will make you cry your eyes out. This is the first time that I felt seen and represented in a manga.
Both protagonists are very relatable and realistic. At first, I thought one of them was just playing with the other's feelings, but then I got to understand how they really feel and what they've been through. The plot is pretty solid and well-written; the characters as well. It felt very realistic to me.
The author addressed some interesting topics in this work, such ... as compulsory heteronormativity and domestic violence, which can be very triggering for some people, but it's important to the story.
The art is stunning and well-made. It was a great manga to read and it BAFFLES me that has such a low rating. But anyway, I love it. This author has great potential and I'm gonna keep an eye on them.

What a great manga!
If you want something similar to Ao no Flag, but funnier, with less drama and more fluffiness, this is the one! This work made me get back to reading manga and started my whole interest in LGBTQIA+ manga as well. This was my heartstopper lol.
It has a pretty solid plot, character development, nice art, and nothing feels out of place or doesn't have plot holes, I would say. This is one of the few romance mangas that I've read when the main couple actually talks things out. At first, we have that whole misunderstanding trope, but little by little the characters start ... to develop and change, becoming more mature. Also, all the protagonists are so lovely and captivating, they're that type of character that you just want to protect because they're so precious!
And, even tho sexualities are never mentioned in this manga, it does show a lot of things that queer people have to deal with such as homophobia, and coming out, so I think this is a pretty good LGBTQIA+ rep. Honestly, reading this manga was a journey, it almost felt like they were my kids or something and I was watching them grow up (I'm not that old, I'm not even in my 30s yet). But anyway, this was great, I enjoyed so much.

I'm so so so mad with this story, holy shit.
Okay, when I first came across this manga I really thought it's gonna be very cute, wholesome, and healthy. And... it's cute, sometimes... wholesome...ugh...healthy? Well, at least not for LGBTQIA+ people.
This is the third work of Shikke that I read and it's the second one that I hate. But comparing this one with the other one that I didn't enjoy, this one right here is the worst. Ofc, if you're straight you're not gonna be bothered like me, you're gonna think this is really great, but from my point of view, this is garbage.
First of ... all, Shikke basically uses every bad stereotype of gay and bisexual people in this story to create the personality of the characters. Second of all, they made a cute relationship between a gay guy and a straight guy, which is one of the worst tropes of BL out there that I personally HATE, because it doesn't make any sense to me. The author even tries to like enlighten the mood in some parts, but I was already disgusted by this manga, so it didn't work for me at all.
If you enjoyed that's fine, I don't care, I'm not here to change your opinion. I just want to ask y'all gently, please, please don't think gay and bisexual/pansexual people are like this. As a queer person, I was very hurt by this manga.
Most of my rating goes for the cats because they're cute af.

I'm not an expert in omegaverse whatsoever, considering I haven't read a lot of them, but - compared with all the omegaverse bl that I've read - this one is definitely unique and different.
The story has a different approach and explores other subjects which I haven't seen in any of the previous work I read, such as an alpha x beta couple and the difficulties of being an alpha teacher as well, since most of the omegaverses tend to explore more the "being omega" drama, I thought this was really out of the box.
The narrative is well-made, the characters are very captivating and the ... mc's relationship is very cute. Overall, it was a wonderful Bl and I definitely recommend it.

This year, I decided to read more GL stories since I've been more acquainted with BL, so I'm trying to abroad my tastes. Also because I like girls and I wanted to read sapphic works. I choose to read this one because some friends recommend me and I saw a lot of positive reviews, so I gave it a try.
This GL is very cute and wholesome, I felt safe reading it, and I was attached to the story from the beginning. It's very deep too, it has this mature feeling, like - even tho is a high school romance - it felt like the ... characters are more mature and adult-like in terms of the personality. The art style is nice, I don't have any problems with it and the plot, overall, it's really good, but I had some problems with some dialogues. I don't know if it was the translation, I know some things are very difficult to translate, especially japanese works, but sometimes I couldn't 100% understand what the characters actually mean in some scenes. But, it's a good romance story, I would totally recommend it.

Just to be clear I'm already a big fan of the manga, so like I was not surprised with anything and it wasn't as painful as the manga. I think the anime enlighted the mood of the story much more than the manga. I'm saying this bc when I read it, I felt so much pain that gave me an anxiety attack after a long time, and because of that I was very very worried that the anime will affect me as well. But it didn't. I'm not saying the manga is super depressing, but the tone is darker than what it's being portrayed in ... the anime. And that's the reason why I enjoyed the anime so much.
People like to say that Given is a great anime/manga that truly portrays LGBTQ+ and I totally agree with that. It was a very heartwarming, sad, fun and beautiful anime to watch and If you want to start watching BL anime, I totally recommend this one.
