EnBogreol's manga / #Drama(74)

A security guard with dreams of becoming an archaeologist, suddenly finds himself pretending to be the fiancee of a foreign prince. --- Generally cute; art looks nice, character dynamic is interesting. Seme is a bit too young imo though, and the story feels a little rushed.

(Spin-off to: My next life as a villainess: All routes lead to doom!) Originally, Katarina Claes regains her memories at 8 years old, allowing her time o dodge her oncoming doom. Here, she isn't quite as lucky, having regained her memories when she is 16 years old, and her doom is looming just around the corner! What to do?! --- An interesting new take on Katarina's story. I'm pretty sad that Keith had to get the short end of the stick in this universe, so I'm hoping that things can get worked through with him. Aside from him, I actually almost prefer Katarina's relationship with the other's in this universe. Paticularily Nicol and Sophia's attraction to her seems much more justified in this, compared to the original. Sienna is also a pretty interesting character, so I'm hoping to see more of her around. The art-style is also incredibly beautiful, so that's a huge plus!

After getting shot and killed in a fight over some shady business, Gozu finds himself isekai-ed into his favourite videogame. In addition to that, he is soon introduced to his favourite character from that said game: Evelogia, the Demon King himself. --- An interesting story so far. Like the mismatched roles of Gozu and Eve, and Gozu is just an entertaining character all around. Eve's attachment to him is also kinda cute. There is the question of just how old Eve actually is, but lEt'S NoT ThiNk aBoUt thAT.

Heartbroken after not getting to be with Minori-sensei (a massage therapist who seduced him), the fourth head of the yakuza, Tatsuyuki, drinks his feelings away. After passing out on a park bench, he is carried away by a stranger; a stranger who seems to know exactly who he is... —- A close to 5 star story for me; only thing that breaks it is the dubious consent after Nozomi carries Tatsuyuki home with him in chapter 1. It’s not cool to sleep with people who are completely wasted, when you are sober, Nozomi-sensei. Other then that, I very much enjoyed this manga. Story is interesting, art is beautiful, and I cared about that characters. Tatsuyuki is a good example of an unconventional “yaoi bottom”, and I like that he feels like a strong character, without being cartoonishly intimidating. His design is also just soooo fucking beautiful. Nozomi was not too bad either, though his initial methods of getting closer to Tatsuyuki were... questionable. Stalking is not cool. I found the pages featuring Nozomi’s backstory highly disturbing, so I skip those. But in regards to his backstory, I really liked that after learning about it, Tatsuyuki was very careful about not triggering Nozomi when they slept together. It was very cute, and showed that the author took the care to not gloss over the abuse, like is unfortunately the case in many other smutty manga. Side characters were fun as well, Reika was my favourite. It’s nice to see positive depictions of female characters in BL. I still feels it’s a shame that I won’t be giving it 5 stars; it was sooo close ;W;

Satomi is a handsome prince-like high school student, known as being both kind, intelligent, and well-liked. Life is going well for him, until his day is interrupted by someone: an intimidating underclass man, well known to be a delinquent, Hongou Yuzuru. The latter asks to meet with him on the roof, and much to his surprise, Yuzuru asks to become his little brother/underling!? —- This hits basically all of my personal tastes: Delinquent bottom Princely top Unconventional/misleading appearances Childhood friends Domestic home life Pining Just seems to have everything I like -W-. Yuzuru is such a sweet-heart; it’s so cute that he’s so shy around his crush, when he’s usually so intimidating. I like Satomi-senpai too, with how attached he becomes to Yuzuru. Him running after Yuzuru, or when he got upset that they aren’t sleeping in the same bed yet were among my favourite moments. The use of the t slur is a bit troubling, and I would have liked to see a side story about the crossdresser and the other delinquent guy(I think they would make for an interesting story), but overall, I’ve gotten so attached to this story now, that I can’t be too update about it for long lol.
