Saw this updated the other day and hell yeah, I'm always down for more gay crossdressing stuff - from what I've read so far, the series definitely reminds me of Prunus Girl which is a plus imo

(i also just wanted to post the mom, she's cool)

The central recurring joke being "I get a boner even though I look like a girl" is kind of gross and fetishizing in a bad way.

oof, sorry :(

I totally wasn’t getting that type of message from the reading / it went over my head, so I’m sorry that I made you feel like that and thanks for posting your thoughts - I appreciate the clarity.

I was just excited to see a new series with more representation, but I guess quickly skimming through wasn’t the best deal if it’s not a good message.

it'd be a lot better if the main character weren't a weird exhibitionist, but his relationship with his spiky haired pan boyfriend is at least pretty cute and sweet

the girly one tells the normal dude one "you make my meat super hard" is a refreshing take on a pretty standard setup but it's just not very funny unfortunately

It varies a lot depending on who you ask. Heartcatch is the name you'd probably hear the most, though.

I found it personally kind of hurtful so that's why I posted about it but like it doesn't make it objectively bad and also there are definitely some cute bits like all the things about isopods, so don't worry about it too much

Speaking of a completely different kind of gyaru mom...

https://mangadex.org/title/39057/jk-to-sutego-no-akachan

This has been interesting so far. A high school girl finds an abandoned baby and is determined to take care of it until the parents can be found. Said parents having, of course, ditched the baby intentionally. One being the studious girl who sits next to our protagonist.

I'll always appreciate stories about earnest people trying to do the right thing.
It's an easy bet but Kanzaki is definitely the father.

Randomly started reading this.

https://mangadex.org/title/16405/koi-wa-hikari

It's about a guy in university who can see women's love (kind of).

It's nothing like Hatsukoi Zombie, before anyone asks. :v:

All three of the heroines are, in their own way, rather sympathetic. It makes everything so heartbreaking as they navigate their feelings. :negative:

There's 42 chapters, and 21 are translated so far, and the most recent one was a few days ago.

You are not one of us.
After a little hiatus, the last half-dozen chapters of Looking Up To You were just put up. They include a beach visit, but just like the rest of the manga I found it a rather nice, refreshing one, not at all fanservicey.




Edit: Forgot to mention, but (epilogue chapter stuff) the detail that after Takamine decides that she's going to seriously consider going to New York Shibuki starts taking his English studies seriously is really cute. :3:

As far as "high school romcom where the series ends when they finally date", it was really good at the slow burn character development part.

yeah they do slowly make progress but it takes a really long time, I think what I enjoy more are just their interactions rather than the romantic tension and I think it also picks up when it introduces the side characters. The popular kid with the weird haircut cracks me up.

Himemiya Shin has always wanted to become an actor ever since he was in high school. Now, he is an up and coming actor who only gets roles for the bad guys. Tatebayashi Kazushige has always wanted to go to college, but instead he became an actor. Now, he is an up and coming ikemen who only gets the likable roles. These two opposites may look like they have nothing in common on the outside, however, what secrets lay on the inside? Follow these two as their mysterious show business secret love unfolds.

Just read this one and it was real good, don't want to give too much away but both characters are great and there's quite a bit going on between their private relationships and public/work personas. Glad it's also ongoing, hope it doesn't take too long to get a third volume :3:

Third volume of this one has finally started getting translated :toot:
I re-read the whole thing, it's so good and volume 3 looks like it will ramp up the tension
