I am in love with this author! What a sweet, creative, quirky, and cute story. I want to know more about the main character's sensei.

Forgettable
2 stars
A series of oneshots. I barely remember any of it. I flipped through them again and the art is pretty but pretty much every story is depressing.
Delightful
3 stars
I decided to read this after reading Asterisk by the same author. I really enjoy their art, it's so pretty. This manga was very thoughtful and had creative stories. Great panel composition.
Cute!
3 stars
The art is so good, right up my alley. I wish the MCs were a little more distinguishable, though. They are hard to tell apart. The love interest's eyes are dreamy. Plot was enough to keep me reading.

Cuuute. I really don't see this protag as a brunette. She 100% gives blonde vibes. I read some comments and people apparently hate this manga. Man, this is my guilty pleasure.

Interesting. Seemingly emotionless male protagonist somehow charms everyone. Feels like an autistic but straight "Bloom Into You." I don't know if I'll keep reading.

The characters are fucked up but I wanna know what happens.

Somewhat generic advice. Organize your time! Avoid procrastination with good sleep, water, food, a different study location, etc.

Hate read

I hate this. The art style is so unsettling and so are the characters. The characters are a little too deranged and have that weird ahegao face all the time and it's icky to me.

5 stars
I'm re-reading this again. Chapter 0 always makes me cry. I think it's just the purity of the innocent first love.
Brain dead review
2 stars
Content warning Spoilers, also a VERY brain dead review
Toxic trait is that I fall for the toxic characters. I don't want the protagonist to fall for the new guy. The OG crush was so much hotter, smh.

Love triangle alert
2 stars
Content warning Spoilers
This love triangle really frustrated me. I really wanted the original guy to work out. Maybe it's the romantic in me. But also, they just had shitty circumstances. The actual love interest isn't BAD per se. I feel like they glossed over his trauma way too easily. Also, the rival female feels irredeemable to me. Maybe literally someone needs professional help? Why do they gloss over attempted violence like this and everyone tried to smooth things over with her. Took me out of the immersion immediately.
