Welcome to Litsy!

Definitely a fun gods and spirits read. I've been striking out a lot with Hoopla manga lately, so I wasn't optemistic for this one going in. There were a few things I wish had been developed a bit more like the suspicious glances between Shin's bully/friend and the god Shin looks after. #manga #lgbtqia

Two security agents who serve a family by protecting their petulant son navigate falling for each other. The style of this was a bit chaotic, and the story wasn't engaging for me for about 100 pages. I wouldn't say I disliked it, but it wasn't excellent. #Manga #LGBTQIA

GOD, this volume made me so angry!! v2 focused on Conflict and here it was homophobia. And the author does such a good job at carrying my son through these turbulent times T-T!! I'm so happy to see the friendships he's forged in v1 having his back, his own self-discovery, and yes, even some of the DESERVED violence. AND THAT CLIFFHANGER!! This author has done it again 👏👏 this author interweaves all the stories so well :) I'm excited for v3!!

This was so cute!! It's slower than what I like but honestly, I didn't mind. I loved the way we could see the character's mindsets change with every interaction. We get to see a first (?) love and the earnestness that comes w it, as well as the less fiery "it just happened" love, as well as the more platonic love with friendship. I'm really curious about the ending since it leaves on a cliffhanger #netgalleybacklog #joyousjanuary

I‘m still not sure what I think about this series, but I have it all so I‘m dedicated. The last few volumes are pushing it to a 2.5/3 star rating. A twist has made things interesting (because they weren‘t moving otherwise) but there‘s still an uncomfortable age gap, child abuse, and an unexplained world. 🤷‍♀️ I feel like I‘m missing something, especially with all the rave reviews.

An angsty young lord crushing on his music-tutor-turned-servant navigates the challenges in his dad's expectations and his crush's life trajectory. I wasn't sure what direction this would take given the title and the story starting out in their childhood/teenhood, but it was fine and interesting. The art is lovely, and I enjoyed the story. #Manga #LGBTQIA

I really wanted to like this. The art is beautiful, the concept is interesting, and the artist does really fun things with art in the margins. However, the sex scenes don‘t really fit well and are juvenile to the point of awkward and uncomfortable. They kind of felt like someone was so determined to have sex scenes that they blammed them in with a mallet. That‘s coming from someone who regularly reads yaoi and rather looks forward to spicy scenes.

A cute cafe romance love triangle story. I didn't find this particularly memorable, but it was enjoyable. The part with the phone call came out of nowhere to the point I thought it was a misunderstanding setting up a dramatic joke. #LGBTQIA #Manga #Cafe

Not bad if you‘re just looking for a sexy read. The story is fun, but underdeveloped and occasionally has major plot holes and contradictions. The second chapter threw me because it dives into the past without introducing that it‘s in the past, so I was confused about why nobody seemed to remember anything that had just occurred. #Vampire #LGBTQIA

My dogs expression is mine too. This is a very very dark horror manga about a man who stalks the cool guy he has a crush on and falls into a much much worse situation. It does do a job of giving you extreme dread throughout, but I can‘t say I liked it. 3.25⭐️
