I was a little hesitant at first, Sudou, the seme, was a bit too rude and aggressive, but it got much more enjoyable when you're finally able to see more of his character, and you realize that he's not a bad guy after all. And Kishi was adorable, and relatable in his antisocial behaviors lol. The romance was cute and sweet, if a tad predictable (I've read so many just like it in other Yaoi manga), but that didn't really take away too much from my personal enjoyment of the story.

im conflicted. while i have no issue with dubcon, when the uke repeatedly says no, its a red flag for me. also the story was a bit dull and too fastpaced for my liking but i guess thats to be expected when you only have around 170 pages. i really liked the art style and the pushy seme being in love without realizing though. liked the dynamic of the couple.
overall this is my least favorite bl manga so far.

CW: Dubious consent, Threats of rape

I'm a bit conflicted with my thoughts on this one. It's a bully romance between two college classmates. One is constantly putting the other down, but there's love under the surface. Some of the language in this one bothered me a little. I can enjoy a bully romance, but I wish there was a bit more groveling involved with this one.
The art is super pretty, though, and I'd like to read more from this creator. Your mileage may vary, but if it intrigues you, you may like it.

This story was so adorable! I really enjoyed it though I was initially skeptical about starting it, what with a title like Sick. Was it a normal sick like when someone gets a cold? Or was it something darker and more menacing? Glad it turned out to be a really cute story that started out from elementary school type harassment (as they say in the book).

My only real complaint about this story is that it ends! I really wish it would have continued for longer but alas, it’s only one volume long. If it had continued it would have (hopefully) answered one of my more pressing questions, which is

Spoiler

will Kudou ever realize that the ‘girl’ who rejected him when he was a kid is actually Kishi?! Like, does Kishi even remember this? Since it came up as Kudou’s one and only defeat and the initial reason (supposedly) for approaching Kishi, I feel off about it being dropped. Especially since he mentions it again when he meets Kishi’s sister.

UPDATE: OMG there's new chapters!!!
