SCRAMBLUES by mame march

Haru Kurosaki once heard a stranger's song in high school that made him decide to finally follow his passions. Now, he's a graphic designer who's recently been put in charge of designing a CD jacket for the prodigy musical artist Eddie Astley. On the outside, Eddie is intimidating and aloof — but when Haru spots him at a rock concert, he realizes how wrong that assumption is. As he sees beyond Eddie's surly exterior and catches a glimpse of the man beneath the affectation, Haru begins to think about the message and emotions that Eddie tries to convey through his music. And in trying to get to know more about Eddie for his design project, he discovers that music always has a way of transporting you to a vital moment from the past.

The Snake Who Loved a Sparrow by Nna Natsuo 

 Komazu is a sparrow, and as a sparrow, there’s one thing he knows about snakes: they eat small birds. When he encounters Shiratō, the white snake, of course he expects the worst — but instead of trying to eat him, Shiratō saves him from a boar stampede and flees, teary-eyed, when Komazu lashes out in fear. When the sparrow realizes he's perhaps misjudged snakes and decides to learn more about Shiratō, the two grow closer, first as friends and then as something more. They are predator and natural prey, coming from different species and social castes; can love overcome the laws of nature, despite the differences in their way? This book contains sexual content including nonhuman physiology, and is intended for an audience aged 18 years and up.

SOTUS vol. 1 by BitterSweet and Kei

SOTUS is an educational system in which upperclassmen impose “trials” upon underclassmen. Arthit, leader of the engineering seniors, plans to put his new juniors through a harsh training regimen to earn the symbol of their major—the gear. However, a first-year named Kongpob causes new headaches for Arthit when he declares he’ll snatch the gear from him: “I’ll make you my wife!”

Some manga I've read recently.

Sasaki and Miyano Vol. 1 by Shou Harusono

⭐⭐.5

I didn't think I'd read a manga that I didn't really enjoy, but this one did it. The artwork is so great, but my problem was with the main character. Namely, Miyano. I'm sorry, I just don't get why Sasaki likes him. He's cute? Okay... but Miyano's not very nice to him, so...? Miyano just seems so indifferent to Sasaki that the whole thing felt one-sided the entire time. I'm glad I tried it out, and I'm usually happy for a slow-burn, but this "romance" felt more non-existent than slow. Just not my cup of tea.

Given Vol. 2 by Natsuki Kizu

⭐⭐⭐⭐.25

I actually think I preferred Satou's first relationship 😂 Kinda bummed it's not about them, honestly. I love that trope of the popular mischievous or stoic guy that is a total obsessed softie for one person, and that is exactly who Satou's first boyfriend was, and I really loved that couple. So.

Yeah. Still love Uenoyama, but yeah, loved the first guy more, I think.

I Hear the Sunspot Vol. 1 by Yuki Fumino

⭐⭐⭐⭐

I loved this as much as I loved the movie. I do wish we got a little more "bl" in this bl story, and I'm very thankful Kohei cuts his hair at the end, but knowing it was just the first in the series got me really excited to reading the rest.

I Hear the Sunspot: Theory of Happiness by Yuki Fumino

⭐⭐⭐⭐.5

So, so cute. I absolutely loved this as a follow-up. I do, again, wish we'd gotten to see the two together a little more as they spent a lot of the story apart, but I do feel that it flowed very well and I did enjoy the pining, so all around a very good time. I can't wait to read the rest.

I Think I Turned My Childhood Friend Into a Girl Vol. 1 by Azusa Banjo

⭐⭐⭐⭐

This one was. Weird 😂

And not because the guy dresses as a girl either, but because it all happened so fast. Dude does his makeup, two pages later, he shows up in a girl's uniform, and then... says that it's because it's who he is, but also says that he did it to get Mido's attention? Don't get me wrong, it was super enjoyable, amusing, and I just love how kind and welcoming everybody is, but I just spent the whole book kind of laughing to myself and going, "WHAT IS GOING ON? WHAT IS HAPPENING?" 😂

It's very amusing, soft, sweet, and I don't know what the guy's pronouns are because he and other characters flipflop between them so much, so I'm thinking he's just very genderfluid. But he looks great in all the outfits, the drawings are very cute, and I really just had a fun time. Will happily read the sequels.

爱莎贝儿-165CM RHC019 佐々木 梓Sasaki Azusa-忆江南 在这冷冷的冬日，难免会让人想念骄阳似火的夏天。 去年夏天，我去江南游玩，江南水乡山美，水美，人更美。 一个身着淡绿旗袍的女子轻轻倚靠在回廊的栏杆上，望着回廊外的水面，应该是在观察湖里的锦鲤吧。 夏天的风暖洋洋的，吹散不了炎热，容易使人昏昏欲睡，因为回廊靠近水面，倒也说不上炎热，剩下的只有惬意了。 清风拂面，发丝飞扬，她光是坐在那儿就已经是幅水墨画了，不知道如果加入其他有趣的动作会是怎样的景色， 我站在连接两侧回廊的小桥上默默欣赏着这一幅美景，进入了遐想...... 窗外的寒风将我对江南的回忆终止，唉~只是不知下次去江南的时候还是否能寻到那一抹绿呢？ 身型：165CM-M

Elsa Babe-165CM RHC019 Sasaki Azusa-Recalling Jiangnan In this cold winter, it is inevitable that people miss the scorching sun of summer. Last summer, I visited Jiangnan. The water towns of Jiangnan have beautiful mountains, beautiful water, and even more beautiful people. A woman wearing a light green cheongsam leaned gently on the railing of the corridor, looking at the water outside the corridor, probably observing the koi in the lake. The summer wind is so warm that it can't dissipate the heat and can easily make people sleepy. Because the corridor is close to the water, it can't be called hot. What's left is just comfortable. The breeze was blowing on her face and her hair was flying. She looked like an ink painting just sitting there. I wonder what the scene would look like if other interesting actions were added. I stood on the small bridge connecting the corridors on both sides and silently admired this beautiful scenery, entering into a reverie... The cold wind outside the window ended my memories of Jiangnan. Alas~ I just wonder if I can find that touch of green next time I go to Jiangnan? Body shape: 165CM-M
