Reviews

I like to read and collect manga, comics, and books. I collect figures and plush. I watch anime. A lot of the time I want to rant and rave about something I’ve experienced but have no one to turn to. That’s where this page comes in!

manga

If you love a slower paced, sweet coming to terms with yourself manga this is for you. The characters struggle with coming out, to one another and their families. There is an adorable short-tall complex between the two main characters. I compare them to Ed Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist (shorter, short-tempered) and Tamaki Suoh from Ouran Host Club (Femenine, sweet, shy). The artwork is beautiful to look at and the story is very loving and engaging without too many characters to get in the way or become confusing. Easy read, hard to put down, found myself smiling as I read on. Very sweet dynamic between the two boys.

You Will Fall in Love

My Rating: 4/10

Keep or Sell?: Keep

Past archer, current archer, blossomed romance in denial while an old unrequited love. Beautiful art style. Story leaves something to be desired. There is a violume 2 (You will drown in Love, I will revisit this review once that one is read).

Secret XXX

Publlisher: Sublime, 2017

Genre: BL, M18+ (NSFW Style: Illustrated, detail intensifies near end of book)

My Rating: 5/10

Keep or Sell?: Keep

Cute characters, bunnies are drawn adorably. Romance seemed a bit rushed, and theres seems to be a lot of story going on for one book (maybe artist could only do one volume?). The story backgrounds of the main boys Mito and Shohei is sprinkled throughout the book, making following along a little confusing at times. Reading it a second time, story and characters are appreciated and understood better. Mito is so femenine, I originally assumed he was a female from the beginning. Lovely artwork. Some pages seem a bit busy. Poses and actions of the romance scenes are very well illustrated.
