I very much like the dumb prefect story. I have no idea if it's still ongoing as these sorts of things are new to me but it was a good read.

new I Love You, Miki!


like how, like, "dating but the story still goes on" and both leads are silly goobers? Horimiya is technically still going, but it reached the original end point of the series and has just been adapting side stories since then(which are fantastic, mind you, and I wouldn't hate them continuing to adapt them for years to come)

maybe Yamada's First Time?

I'll give them a try. I keep running into "bittersweet" stuff which I don't hate but is sorta loving my already hosed mood. So just nice love stories between nice people is pleasant

Horimiya isn't bad, little weird at points but not bad. Also I appreciate how many thing I have just deeply enjoyed reading and will never EVER admit to anyone I ever read.



Side note: I would admit to reading Horimiya. There are.... others

I find Horimiya just very...pleasant. It's never gotten bad or anything, and it feels like most of the major plot development happened years ago, but it usually still delivers a, well, pleasant story each time (even if I can barely tell some of the characters apart).

Yes. This was my take on it as well. It was enjoyable and I enjoyed every characters interactions but I did wonder where it was going.


Now I'm off to try and find more random stuff to read. I do especially enjoy the whole looks like one thing acts completely different trope you run into in a lot of these

The cute but slightly NSFW childhood friend romance manga continues to be cute but slightly NSFW. Ominous end of chapter, though. :ohdear:

just wanted to say thanks to everyone who mentioned/posted Ikoku Nikki; i got sucked into it and stayed up waaaaaay too late catching up (like "oh poo poo is that the sun?" late)

I'm a little ashamed of how much I enjoy really fluffy things lately but I took a chance and also destroyed Ikoku Nikki overnight and I gotta say it hosed me up. Legit tears.

It's really good.

A lot of men that do bl manga use aliases, and a lot of the time you're either getting bara porn or mostly the same thing women make. Like Hirotaka Kisaragi is a gay dude he isnt exactly rocking the boat. So it can be hard to define 'for gay guys' versus 'for fujoshi.' they arent quite this super delineated thing

What's this term?

Not gonna lie: My favorite revelation concerning "stock shoujo/romance" clichés was Nozaki-kun saying "Uh, yeah, unless the bike accomodates for it, that whole thing with the Romantic Bike Ride is Illegal and not kosher anymore".

I'm just surprised that bike pegs never caught on apparently. I loved those things as a kid

such a loving great story

I ran into that story last night randomly and I agree. It should be a 9 for sure.

im a member of that scan group, a bunch of other stuff came up so we focused on that, like run away with me girl. we may or may not get back to it.

I don't know the other one but focusing on that one was probably the best choice since it was really good.

I love Ikoku Nikki a lot but I wish the niece's depressed friend looked a bit less like the aunt. Sometimes I get confused as to whether I'm seeing an aunt flashback or a present day school scene.

loving same. It's actually made me stop reading it as much. I'm not taking shots at it it's still very good it's just Im dumb so I ended up having to skip back and forth rereading to make sure I didn't miss something.
