Thank you to NetGalley for sending me an ARC of this. My review is unbiased.
This is a rather sweet and fast paced BL manga. Very slice of life. Takes you on the main characters budding friendship and relationship journey. It felt rather rushed at some parts with how fast the relationship developed but I’m also not mad at it. All in all I really enjoyed it and the art I think the story was so sweet it gave me a toothache.
I couldn’t finish it because it had so much going on. He fell in love with him to quickly and then it was like scenes kept switching every 2 seconds it definitely wasn’t for me. As much as I hoped it was going to be but I would like to thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book. I def think it’s a book for other people but for me it wasn’t it and I can accept that.
Very cute and sweet, with little to no drama and the art was pretty. I really liked the characters and how they interacted with each other and the plot, while simple, was still interesting and enjoyable to read.
Absolutely loved this fluffy boys love high school romance from Kaoruko Miyama!
The main characters are so cute! They are so sweet and gentle with each other! No real drama, just good feelings!
This was everything I needed. We do Stan a grumpy (well, shy in this case)/sunshine story in this house and this was it. The drawings are gorgeous, the story is so, so sweet and I devoured it within minutes (it felt like). I will definitely pick this up for the gorgeous art alone.
I found this manga quite lighthearted and sweet.
I absolutely love the art work and found it really beautifully executed and relatively easy to follow, in all honesty some of the speech text could be a little more clear as at times I did have to double check who the speech was coming from as it wasn't glaringly clear.
I did find the story a little short and rushed, it made it difficult to full invest in the relationship and felt more like instalove. I think I would have liked more development and length to the story.
That said it felt quite innocent and cute in the beginning and I liked the building of tension, wondering who would approach who for example but I found myself wanting the story to be longer and more detailed, particularly around issues of jealousy and the more awkward times in the relationship.
.
I do like that this Manga deals with consent and the importance of being comfortable and discussing issues of concern, I think its a good message to get across and it does start to tackle some awareness.
Its a really great start for the author, the story is quite reminiscent of Heartstopper but contains some graphic smutty scenes. I would have liked some further character and friendship developments in the story but I found It kept me reading.
Thank you for providing me with an advanced copy
I rather liked this story and the art! The only thing keeping me from recc’ing it for the library is the nsfw bits! And that’s just for the fact that my library is in the Bible Belt and only just accepting manga.
funny lighthearted fast-paced

A soft and fluffy school romance that's perfect for when you just want to feel at ease.
As this is the author's first comic, I think they did a pretty solid job in that regard. By itself, this was an okay story as it was nothing special but I wasn't bored.
It is a simple shy boy meets popular boy and falls in love kind of story, can't really go wrong with that. My only issue with this is that there wasn't much on-page interaction before they confessed they loved each other, but I enjoyed their love story well enough. The story does also rely on a lot of typical tropes, like miscommunication, to advance the story, but thankfully it didn't bother me much.
There is smut in this if you are wondering about content advisories, and it is technically considered censored, but only with some lines so you can practically see everything anyway if that bothers you...
If you are looking for more to read, the LOVE X LOVE line is full of BL and GL stories.
Thank you, NetGalley and TOKYOPOP LOVE X LOVE for giving me the opportunity to review this.
It´s a sweet manga but it's very rushed, the romance is an instalove and moves very fast. There were a few things that bothered me but in the beggining i found the manga to be very sweet.
Thanks to netgalley to provide me with the manga in exchange for an honest review
This is a 3-star story with 5-star artwork.
The manga was a little too short for me to really believe Yuki and Hayato's love had time to develop. Instalove, misunderstandings, and a jealous boyfriend are a lot of things to deal with in such a short story. While I enjoyed the story, I really loved the gorgeous artwork. I would definitely read more from this mangaka in the future.
Recommended for: yaoi readers; 18+
Content warning: mature content; explicit sex scenes
I received a digital ARC of this manga from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Thank you to Tokyopop and Netgalley for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This story follows the quiet and reserved Yuki and his developing romance with the cool and popular Hayato
I have been reading Manga for many years and love the boy love romances, however this one didn’t do it for me. The artwork was brilliant however the storyline just felt a bit rushed and I feel it could have been slightly more detailed. Also I wasn’t really about the themes (non consent, jealousy etc) and I felt it detracted from and took over what was actually a good storyline. The mature content didn’t bother me as such as I knew it was 18+ before reading but it felt all very rushed into the last few pages.
All in all it was an okay read but I don’t feel it would be something I would pick up again
Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an e-arc!
The the manga follows a young couple, yuki who is quiet and average and hayato who is cool and confident.
I really wanted to like this manga I really did but I just don’t love the instalove trope. I also thought the spice in the book was alittle too much. It just kinda took from the plot. I also just didn’t love the miscommunication and jealousy. I did love the art style though. This just wasn’t my cup of tea. I normally love the manga from Tokyopop so this was a bit of a disappointment.
Thank you to TOKYOPOP and NetGalley for providing an advanced digital copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.
I read a lot of boy-love manga, and "Tomorrow, Make Me Yours" was cute, but more middle-of-the-pack overall. It relied on a lot of typical tropes of the genre, and it also included some harmful ones (like jealousy, miscommunication, and non-consensual advances). The art style was cute, especially how the eyes were drawn to be so expressive. It was a quick read and there were some really sweet moments, but there were also some questionable decisions made by the protagonists. If not for a few moments that made me uncomfortable, I would probably recommend this to more people. But I could see this being a good read for those who already enjoy BL manga.
This is my very first #lgbtqia read. I never thought reading manga but I loved it. It’s about Yuki and Hayato, how they fall head over heels for each other. Yuki is quiet, shy, introvert where Hayato is cool, confident and awesome. Yuki realised that that a female classmate is after Hayato and so he decided to maintain distance between them. But later on when he came to his senses he finally confesses his to Hayato, who confesses right back.
I liked the plot and how easy to understand it is. Character development were brilliant. Fast paced. Read it in one sitting. Definitely an adult based so parental guidance are needed. Sexual contents can be triggering to some. Light read. Must read.
Highly recommended.

Review to come May 30th to blog/goodreads/etc.
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
A cute book featuring a sweet couple, but the reason why I am rating it lower was that it felt all too fast. Too rushed. Yuki went from the awkward kid in the class to hitting it off with the popular guy for no reason to blushing and hoping to see more of him to falling for him fast to being boyfriends. I was constantly going wait what? Wait? Did I miss something? Later we do read that Hayato has had a crush on Yuki for a long time. But that nothing ever happened, well until they are sharing a class in their senior year of high school. Thankfully, later things settle down, things got a bit slower, and I enjoyed the story much more and I found myself rooting for these two. They do make a cute couple, sharing sweet kisses, blushing, and having fun. I would have liked to see them go on more dates.
Well, OK, at one point I did want to hit Hayato, jealousy is bad and doing that? Worse. But I am glad that they worked it out, Yuki talking to his grandma, Hayato thinking about things. Apologizing. It made me happy. A lot of yaoi manga can learn from these, plus, I am really happy that lately I have been seeing more yaoi with people talking, getting consent, saying no. It is great, because really, in all the years of reading yaoi I have seen to many rapes, assaults, almost rape. Consent never seemed to be a thing for most manga.
Oh, and I just love how accepting Hayato's friends were. Even making up a nickname for Yuki, doing fun things, and of course studying because one of the friends in the group... is terrible at studying.
The sex (and sexy) scenes? Loved them! So hot!
The art was OK, I don't know the cover was good (and so adorable), the sex scenes hot, but sometimes the faces just don't work for me, they felt flat/weird.
All in all, despite how rushed it felt... I had fun reading this one! It is cute, fun, adorable, and again I love it when yaoi goes for consent.
this story was really cute and I thoroughly enjoyed it, it was incredibly fast paced which kept me interested and wanting to read more! The graphic scenes did come out of nowhere and surprised me a bit but I still liked how it was written and it fit well within the scene and there was some funny moments which made me laugh whilst reading. I would’ve loved for it to be longer and have their relationship build up slower but either way it was a fun read.
Thanks a lot Netgalley and publisher for giving me this cutesy schoolboys Yaoi story. It’s cute enough but it’s your usual love story you’d normally read….
Tropes: High School, Romance, Slice of Life, Forced Proximity, Friends to Lovers, Mature Themes
This is a one off, pure fluff story so if you're looking for something quick with a pinch of smxt then this might be something to consider. I was a little shocked as it involves HS students and even in my novel reading those two things aren't something I generally prefer (I know teens are horny, I just don't need to know the details lmao)
The characterization wasn't very deep. Hayato has had a crush on Yuki for two years, Yuki is a bit of an anxiety ball who has trouble making friends. But the two of them quickly hit it off and then Yuki is introduced to more friends which makes Hayato jealous. Cue the lack of/mis- communication. The story itself kind of falls on typical romance plot points where everything gets solved when the characters just sit down and talk. Then they ****.
The art was quite pretty and light which works for the themes and storytelling. All in all, I'm thankful to Netgalley and Tokyopop for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This manga was a cute idea, but it was average. The characters didn't stand out and the storyline wasn't outstanding. It was good for what it was, but it wasn't something that I would pick up again. While this manga wasn't marked as teen, I wasn't expecting there to be graphic sexual content, so this is definitely more for adult readers. With the description, I was expecting mainly fluff.
