運命的ラブメーター by 美山薫子
3.0
Hmmmm! I have conflicting feelings about this one! I thought it was really cute, following a deadpan-looking marshmallow melting over his crush (doing questionable things too) and in turn seeing Kai get flustered over a kiss, but that one scene
Tw for suicide ideation
And that was kind of my problem with it. Not so much the theme, but the fact giant marshmallow was considering it after being rejected (and then the topic was never touched on again). I guess to me that makes me think "well, what if it doesn't work out in the future? Will he actually do that if Kai breaks up with him? Will Kai be forced to not break up with him for fear of him not hurting himself?" So, instead of being super happy they clear things up, I just felt a bit apprehensive at their current status
The concept of the balloons was pretty cool though, as well as Kai's realization that he relies on them too much

ここからはオフレコで by 早寝電灯

Omgggg!! This was such a cute read!! I'm not a big fan of idol stories (idk why) but this one really got me! I love the concept of having "multiple yous" and having all of them be a true representation of yourself. I think this is the first time I've read a story that talks about this (#imseenLOL). The art is so lovely and minehito's EYES. they had me so captivated!! I did wish we could have gotten a bit more development in their relationship but honestly, for a volume, I won't complain!

The art is so beautiful and I love that this author always has a theme in their works that is explored and just, this is such a cool idea and has anyone ever watched your heart engraved herein? It reminded me of that

転じて恋と生き Tenjite Koi to Iki by Dentou Hayane, 早寝電灯
3.5
This author writes some heartfelt stories!! I'm not a big fan of this trope though, which is why it only gets 3/5 and not 4 😆 still, it was such a nice read!! Do you believe in past lives? When you remember your past life, which one is the "real" you? Also, that last revelation ended up being kind of funny! I also thought it was longer but I also don't know when the different eras of Japan are lol!
The Iron Sword by Julie Kagawa

Book 2: The story continues and we learn that something waaaaaay bigger than anyone could have ever imagined is actually happening!
But I wonder if the reader could have predicted this or not? Once more, past events are brought up (though they are summarized so we technically don't miss anything other than personally experiencing them) and we meet some of the characters that had been mentioned previously (ex. The Queen's brother and his wife, which, btw, they're both really cool). But similar to the first book, I just feel a bit meh about everything.
This book is written in the same way as book one: we follow one POV (this time it's the King's), follow clues/going on a journey, have a big battle at the end, and then leave things *in suspense*. Except that the King isn't a very interesting character and it takes so long to learn what's going on that for most of it I wondered when we'd be done 😅
I'll probably read the next book since I've already read 2/3 of it, may as well close things off

FANGS, Vol. 2 by Billy Balibally
4.5
WHAAAAT!!! Way to end a volume!!! I-I have no words!! This volume was both lighter and heavier than the first one. Lighter in that we get to see the characters hang out and just be regular people, but heavier in the sense that En is THINKING. And he's having some big dilemmas in that baby brain of his. And, wow, the clock is ticking?!
Oh and the sex? SO GOOD. Omg, very much agree with Ichii's assessment of En's body, especially that booteh, so hot. why couldn't we just have that for the rest of our lives? them being hot and eventually En accepting Ichii to be his pair without DRAMA. Except, i'm secretly salivating at what's to come next! i need some revelations and explanations! no more side stepping the big questions, tell me about Ichii's dark past! also En, get your man!! like, no, this guy can't just walk in there like he's Big Dick and do whatever he wants!! grrrrr!!
