Opinion: Ok this is straight up an “H” smut series so my review is based on that genre. The bar is much lower.

I love the art it’s super unique! It feels rough it some ways but it really works I love it. Especially the love and care that was put into developing the male leads look.

The plot is very cute for an omegaverse series. It follows the couple through their marriage as they get to know eachother. I really loved it. The 18+ stuff was really well done as well.

Summary:
“I want you, Moka…” There’s a popular guy in class, and he can’t stand the way the other girls look at him.

Kurosaki’s the captain of the soccer team, and is so popular that the neighboring schools have fan clubs for him! The girls always crowd around his desk, so Moka can never get a chance to sit down at her desk in the morning… but everything changes when Moka gets the chance to be close to Kurosaki when they see each other in the old school library. Even though Kurosaki hates being around girls, and tends to give everyone these cold stares, he looks at Moka with a bright smile and asks her “do you wanna date for real?” It’s like he’s a completely different person!

Opinion: I think this is a really formulaic romance. If you enjoy high school romance you’ll like this.

The art is nice but the male lead is definitely drawn better. It’s very light line work but I wouldn’t say it stands out from the crowd.

So off the bat the heroine is very soft spoken and a push over. The male lead is very pushy but not in a way I would say “possessive lover” and he’s a bit too pushy for “loving partner”. I dunno, it just wasn’t ENOUGH of either side.

As a teen romance though I think it does slice of life well with a little bit of realism.

Opinion:
This series is so much fun and feels like a really different dynamic than I’m used to. I can see it’s not everyone’s cup of tea though.

The art I think is pretty basic. I will say I love the heroines design and her fashion sense. There are a lot of really well-drawn “doki doki” moments, which is so important because they aren’t allowed to have those moments throughout the whole plot.

The plot is so funny, genuinely belly laughs and over the top in a way that reminds me of Takane and Hana. But unlike that series it’s refreshing to see a couple that is genuinely into each other but have external forces keeping them apart.

I love how passionate the heroine is, very golden retriever coded with her neurodivergent-coded boyfriend. The only draw back I think is most of the sources of conflict in the series is the male lead putting in a lot less effort than the heroine even though he is trying his best in his own way. Most of the plot points end with the heroine crying and the male lead apologizing for the misunderstanding/miscommunication.

If you enjoy a laid-back, light-hearted high school comedy this is a really fun read.

Opinion: Another short H smut series. Very little plot but still done very well! And no dubcon! Which is rare.

I love the art. It’s very digital and the characters do look younger but it feels very modern and not too childish.

The plot was actually done very well. There are some common tropes of miscommunication but otherwise the moral was pretty straight forward. Also the male lead is actually so sweet it’s so cute. To be honest I would have read a full series with these characters!

If you’re looking for a short smutty series with a kind and cool CEO this is a great read!

Opinion: I saw a comment on this series that summed it up perfectly. Is this another series with a poor woman who is helped by a yakuza man who secretly remembers her from childhood? Yes. Am I gonna love it anyways? Also yes.

The art has it’s moments but it is very plain. It’s not bad at all but doesn’t stand out very much.

The plot is super predictable with every yakuza trope you could imaging. THAT SAID. I love it. The male lead is so cute and sweet rather than pushy like most yakuza series. This is as cute as it gets.
