This manga is one of the cutest things I've ever read. The couple has good communication and are so good for each other! They are very cute together, I wanted to see more of them, but I'm satisfied with all this cuteness. The way Arashi asked Miharu's preferences in sex and was willing to be a bottom if that was what his partner wanted... I admit that I expected a break in expectations there and got a little frustrated, but I found the whole scene very beautiful.
I'm very happy to find a wholesome, mature and cute romance like this.
A small spoiler: I just wanted to
...
comment on the high school teacher-student relationship. I tend to hate this type of relationship, I think it's wrong in many ways because usually one is underage and the difference between someone over 20 and someone under 19 is big, despite the small age difference. It's crazy how there is a huge leap in mentality and maturity between someone in high school and someone who has already finished, especially someone who has already gone to college and is living an adult life with a serious job. However, here it is portrayed in such a perfect way that I didn't even bother. Arashi deciding to put this feeling aside and hope to meet in the future, knowing that Miharu would never have anything with a student was something that almost made me cry with happiness. It's rare to see this in manga, there's usually a lot of drama to it, but in this one it was all handled in such a mature way. Even though the MC looked like a child physically, I could feel their age in their actions.

I think this is the hardest Shikke story I've ever read, mainly because of the sexual violence and talking more about what it's like not wanting to come out.
First, it's a cute and classic romance that Shikke loves to do between someone more inexpressive and someone more extroverted. They are so different, that at first I couldn't even imagine how something would start between them, but I loved their dynamic.
It just leaves me a little confused as to what would be consensual at times and what would not be. I was VERY bothered by some moments where it seemed like Shizuno was forcing Kiumi, especially
...
in their first sexual interaction.
After that there are several moments and characters talking about how they were raped and forced to do something sexual and it's very sad, it seems like they don't understand what's wrong and I don't know if it was the characters or the author. Is this something common in Japan?
I understand a little how this happens in the community, because I'm already part of it and have seen something like this, but I think this manga deals with a strange normality.
But it even has its good moments, with Shizuno dealing with his traumas and fear, with the two learning to make concessions in a relationship. I feel like from then on it started to become more serious about the way it represented sexual trauma.
Kiumi is very unconcerned about everything, including sexual diseases, so it's inevitable not to want to protect him and that's basically the basis of their relationship. Shizuno wants to protect him, Kiumi is delighted by this. I was surprised which of the two made it harder and took longer to accept a relationship, but it's cute.
I don't know, I think they're really cute together, so I was really torn between liking it because I like the couple and not liking it because there are a lot of problematic things in the story.

I understood what Shikke wanted to do here by placing Kume as a cat, basing the personality on things we hear about cats: at first they are more suspicious and run away, but then they become attached and no longer want to leave your side; it is not you who chooses the cat, but the cat who chooses you; they tend to hide when they are not well; they bring you food as a gift; they disappear for days and then appear as if it were nothing (which is not cool, don't let your cats go out unsupervised!), etc.
But he is a human being and
...
these behaviors that we think are cute in a pet end up becoming toxic in a human. So I couldn't connect much with the manga, I didn't feel that much emotion coming from Nogami either. I don't know, something seems off.
Mainly because of the stereotypes, especially as a bisexual person, it bothered me a lot. There are people like that, but I don't like seeing something they already use to attack us being used as a resource in a story to create a bad character. Not everyone understands that being a trash person has nothing to do with your sexuality, so you have to be very careful with how you put things like that in the story. I know Shikke tried to balance things out by having the MC also be bisexual and being a really good person, but the amount of horrible comments I read because of Kume's ex... lost me there.
But it's really cute, I love Shikke's art and I love cats, it wins a lot of points with me. It wasn't so bad for me because I understood the author's intentions, so I'm a little confused. It's a toxic and a little forced romance, but knowing that it was supposed to be something like cat behavior, it was cute. But I think it's all cute and I've read all of Shikke's works, I've become a fan, so it might be just me.

I would like to provide a different vision because I didn't read it with the same eyes of the people from the other reviews:
This manga, unlike Shikke's other manga, is not so focused on developing romantic attraction, but sexual, because it already exists. It's basically the story of two guys who love each other romantically, this is clear with how they look like a couple. The way MC talks about ML and how they are always together, they can't be separated and all these details. Then, one day, they discover that two friends are dating and a new world opens up in their heads. It's
...
like "how come two guys can be together like this?". Then they begin to develop physical awareness between them and things happen. They hadn't looked at their relationship differently until then.
It seems to be just sex because it kind of is, romance is not an issue that needs to be developed. The author's other works have much more feeling, but I didn't think this one was bad because I'm not a very romantic person either. My past relationships were basically like that, so it's very credible and it makes sense to me the way they think. Developing feelings for someone you've been with for years and already has intimacy is very different from when you're someone new. The shyness phase kind of doesn't make sense anymore. It's something cute that's in fiction to give more emotion, I like it a lot, but it's just one of the ways to show it.
They are boys discovering sex, so it also made sense for them to be so euphoric about it. However, the unrespected "no" bothered me, I won't deny it.
But other than that, it's a funny story to laugh about. More something fun to pass the time than to get emotional.

SHIKKEEEEEE, I love u
This is the second Shikke story I read, the first was obviously the most famous Pink Heart Jam and made me curious to read more Yaoi stories or with NSFW art. Not for sexual reasons, but because I was delighted with the art itself, I find Shikke's art VERY beautiful and I have an album full of prints of the characters facial expressions during sex, because it is very well drawn. I can recognize the author only by the art, has a lot of personality and I, as an artist too, became a fan.
Speaking of the story itself, it's cute, as always.
...
A story kind of on the theme coming of age, the characters are about to graduate, but it's not so focused on student life itself. Shikke usually focuses more on romance. They start in a physical competition that starts violent and goes sexual. The dynamic reminded me a little of Pink Heart Jam too, a guy with a more "I don't give a fuck" expression and another an innocent golden retriever boy discovering his sexuality. The same thing about "appearances are deceiving", but much cuter.
I think everything develops well, they are getting closer in a satisfactory time.
Unfortunately there is a taste of wanting more, not because it is incomplete, in fact it even shows a little of their life in the future (I loved the transition!!!), but because you simply want more. It's so adorable that it's too little to satisfy me. The secondary characters appear briefly and still make me want to see more of them, more of their student life and more of their life as adults. Shikke, please, write something that goes up to chapter 500 and even if it's just the domestic life of a couple I'll read everything with pleasure!

I don't even know what I just read, what kind of manga is this?
At first I was curious about the title, I thought it was wrong and it was a beach club, but it really is "bitch". I didn't intend to read it because it's not really my style, nor do I usually read BL, but one of the characters intrigued me and I decided to read it just to find out what is his thing. When I realized, I had already read all the available chapters, I found the story interesting and I started to like the protagonist having a romance with Yuu.
But
...
it's weird, I can't say I enjoyed it because there are so many things wrong with it, like gangbang threats, a character who looks like an irrational animal and a straight protagonist who seems being forced to be gay. Many lines that imply that they are only interested in another guy because he looks like a woman and things like that bothered me too.
It's a huge bizarre, a somewhat unexpected theme, but it kept me reading anyway? I don't usually read NSFW manga, but I already read one and thought it was amazing. The sex scenes in this one didn't interest me, I found it a little disappointing. And it's crazy how I felt this way about something that I don't usually read. Like, what was I expecting and why didn't it satisfy me?
I don't know, I really don't know what to feel about this manga.

I'm writing a review because I don't plan on reading any more. I've only read up to chapter 18, so this is my opinion on them.
It wasn't what I expected. What I thought it would be was Hikari developing her story. It starts like that and I identified with it right away. The thing is: she has a secondary character complex and feels bad about it. So, in her own manga, she becomes a secondary character. I don't mind developing other characters besides the main one, but the impression it gives is that she's not the main character. Maybe that's exactly what it is and
...
I misunderstood.
If that's the case, I still didn't like it because this alternation from one character to another doesn't work very well. They're sad and dramatic stories, but they only have 2 chapters to develop them, so you don't get too attached. Something that also irritates me is wanting to know more about a story, but I have to wait 10 chapters because the author decided to show the POV of other characters. There's no focus and I don't like that.
They're all tragic love stories, but I can't sympathize with all of them, not only because they don't have focus, but because I didn't like all of the characters. So it's hard to root for them. I don't understand this, if the story was about Hikari, I would have liked it more. I have mixed feelings about this manga because I saw potential, I started liking it and I like some of the stories, I just couldn't like how they're told.

Well... I love this manga, I'm in love with the songs and I had a lot of emotions reading. The characters are interesting, the art is beautiful. At first I had a little trouble recognizing who was who, some seemed to have the same face. Some balloons were also confusing to read, I always get confused when there is no indication of where the speech comes from and all the characters in the scene are with their mouths closed. You have to guess by personality, but I didn't find it that easy to distinguish.
99% of the featured male characters are incredibly gay or bisexual. I
...
think it's cool, I love it when there's diversity, but it seemed a little unreal how they all liked another man, especially someone from their own band. It gave a little impression that the author was trying to include all possible romantic tropes of MLM. I was even surprised to see a straight couple having a little focus. Like, amazing how they managed to gather so many men attracted to other men in the same social circle, only one of them wasn't and who knows, he could be bisexual too. It was a surprise whenever a woman showed up, none of them has much prominence either
My biggest annoyance, in fact, was the development of the characters. I started reading more interested in the story of Uenoyama and Mafuyu, especially Mafuyu. The two alone already have too much baggage for a drama that would yield, at least, half of the manga. However, he focused more on the adult characters, especially the two oldest of the band. I love them, I cried too much with Ugetsu's story, in a manga just for them I would have loved it, but it seems that this totally left Mafuyu and Uenoyama aside. Even their friends had their problems resolved before. It seems that the author wanted to develop everything, so that in the end he could focus on the two MCs. It's a choice, but I didn't really like it
I even found it strange how adults had so many problems and everyone was immature and terrible at solving them, while the teenagers of the story knew how to handle things honestly and easily.
After several chapters developing a drama, everything is solved quickly too. The same happens with the main couple, they are put aside for the most part, to in the end rush a conclusion. It looked like it would be a high school manga, but then this part of the story was completely forgotten, some things only came to be mentioned in the last chapters very briefly. That's why I feel a little disappointed with the development of Mafuyu and Uenoyama. From Yuki too, I expected more depth on this theme.
Despite everything, I had the opportunity to read while listening to the songs and it was an INCREDIBLE experience. I cried and got very emotional. Ignoring these points I mentioned before, they are dramas that make us feel a lot, hatred, anger, sadness, impatience, sympathy, etc. It shows several types of love, so I found it interesting.
It's a very good story, beautiful, I just didn't like her planning very much. Perfect script, director not so much.
It's a 9 for me, still, because the reading experience is more important to me and I freaked out a lot reading.

That's my view as someone who only read 5 chapters, but I didn't think it was very good.
From the beginning FL is very annoying. Besides being the type I hate, humiliating herself in front of ML just because he's pretty. I thought it would be something deeper, about how appearances can be deceiving, that after the shock of reality she would be someone more normal, but it only got worse. There's probably some development after that, but from what I saw people commenting on a few chapters later, everything is thrown in the trash and goes back to the beginning. It would be a waste
...
of time to read it just in the hope that it will be good, so I'm abandoning it.

Wow, I wasn't expecting to like it so much. It's basically my first BL, I don't usually read it because I've always heard that they are usually toxic relationships, besides preferring a little more GLs.
The reason why I decided to read this one was because of the appearance of the characters, especially Ryo. I really like this duality, serious face vs the cheerful cute, but especially Ryo's traits were what caught my attention. At first sight, because as the story progressed I came to love Haiga and his personality much more.
However, I found myself reading a super cute romance between two adults, all consensual and
...
without many dramas. Haiga sincerity and the way Ryo was open to him made me fall in love with the characters. It doesn't have much focus besides them, it's a very short manga, but it also has some relationships with secondary characters that I thought were cute. And very sweet. It's good to read an lgbt story that is not just drama and sadness all the time.
The plot took me very by surprise, I didn't expect it at all, but it didn't disappoint me. The characters are very open-minded and understanding. I really like it, I have a toxic relationship with dramas, so I prefer these lighter stories. Man, I would read a lot more of them, I will definitely go after more work from the author and give support as I can.
NSFW also surprised me, I never really understood the appeal of reading stories like this, I wasn't even a fan of ecchi, imagine something more explicit. In this manga it was different, I enjoyed it a lot and was surprised by the emotions that this type of art passes. And it can be cute too. Seriously, I love these two.
Anyway, this was my experience reading my first NSFW and BL manga. I hope to have more good experiences like this.
