Absolutely sweet and heartwarming tale. I love a good feel-good romance, and this certainly did not disappoint.

Yuki is quiet and shy. When classes get switched, he hopes to find at least one friend. Hayato is outgoing and friendly. Everyone flocks around him. Yuki cannot hide his surprise when Hayato starts talking to them. The two boys form an easygoing friendship, until a female classmate shows interest in Hayato. Then Yuki realizes the feelings he has for Hayato – who, surprise, surprise, shares the same feelings.
TOMORROW, MAKE ME YOURS is a really sweet and wholesome BL. I like the pacing of Yuki and Hayato’s relationship. The two let a lot of miscommunication and misunderstanding crop up between them. However, they soon situate things and air out what is bothering them.
I will definitely be adding this title to my manga collection once it is released.

This is such a sweet, fluffy little slice of life high school romance, with adorable art to match. It was exactly the type of story I was looking for, with nearly no angst. My only legitimate gripe with the story is that were was a very brief moment on non-consent between the two main characters. During a kiss one of the boys pushes the other away and the one who was being too aggressive immediately apologizes. Like I said, it's brief, but the frequency of non-consent in the BL genre makes it stick out to me and rub me the wrong way.

Overall, I'm giving this book three out of five stars because while it is extremely sweet and I would recommend it, it is also not the most memorable book I've ever read. The plot is predictable and the characters somewhat cookie cutter, but sometimes that is exactly the sort of story that you want. Anyone looking for a fluffy M/M romance will not be disappointed here, but might not find their new favorite either.

Thank you to Netgalley and Tokyopop for a free advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Tomorrow, Make Me Yours is a simple and sweet romance about first love in two boys' final year of high school. Yuki is a shy boy who's content with finishing his final year of high school without any fanfare, and Hayato is the most popular boy in class and the person Yuki would least expect to take interest in him. After a few chance encounters, the boys are brought together. But both unexperienced with relationships, they're not sure how to proceed, and if they can't communicate their feelings to each other, their relationship could end as quickly as it began.

I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a quick and heartfelt read.

This was a cute story, though it didn't have anything that hasn't already been done in other BL oneshots. The pacing was quick, which I didn't mind, but the story could have benefitted by being a bit longer. I felt like some things, like Yuki's insecurities and his desire to be compatible with Hayato, were brushed off without any real resolution. Overall though, a sweet read if you want something quick with a happy conclusion!

This was a super cute manga! Yuki is very shy, Hayato is outgoing. They become friends and the feelings begin to grow.
This one-shot(?) is perfect for fans who want a nice read in this genre. It doesn't break the mold at all - it's a very standard plot - but it's well-drawn and the characters are sweet. I'm definitely looking forward to more by this author.

i requested this due to my liking of tokyopop's other titles but this one didn't hit the same for me, sadly.

this was just alright, the plot was nothing special and the story was overall pretty cliche. i'm not a fan of insta love and this relationship moved pretty quick so that wasn't my favorite. also the couple definitely had more than a few red flags.

the conflict was just unneeded jealousy which is a huge bookish ick for me. definitely not my type of thing. other than that there wasn't much other conflict which made for a pretty boring read.

i also didn't expect this to be a 18+ manga since the characters are in high school so that was really weird.

thank you netgalley and the publisher for an arc in exchange for my honest review.

Got an eArc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The drawing of Yuki is AMAZING. I love it! I'm a sucker for beautiful drawings of eyes. He's cute and handsome or in between which depends on the angle. The story is soo cute too. It's fast-paced and worth the read. It's so obvious Hayato liked Yuki before Yuki met him. I don't know how many times I'll say the word 'cute' here, but EVERYTHING'S cute here. Even the new friends Yuki had.

Rating: 4.5 stars

This was a quick little high school romance. I enjoyed how there wasn't much miscommunication and how the characters were considerate of each other and their needs. There wasn't a whole lot of depth to this story but that's okay! I enjoyed it all the same.

As he walks into his new class, Yuki locks eyes with a popular boy named Hayato. Hayato seems totally out of his reach, constantly surrounded by other people, yet, somehow he reaches out to Yuki and they become friends. As feelings blossom between the two, will they become more than that?

This was very cute! Just a total low-stakes sweet romance between two adorable MLs. Yuki especially is just so stinking cute, my heart could not take some of the panels of him!! The narrative is pretty common for BL covering a confession, taking the next steps in a relationship (definitely note that this is a NSFW read), and dealing with changes in each other. It makes for a quick, easy read.

Hayato and Yuki know each other from class and Hayato is defiantly more popular and out going has a crush on Yuki and has been crushing for a long time. Yuki doesn't start developing a crush until they are in the same class and start hanging out.
All the basic tropes but still had me smiling at all the cute stuff. It did move kind of fast but if its just gonna be a stand alone its fine. It was super cute!!

This started off as a lovely innocent friends to lovers manga. It is really well drawn and a simple, delightful romance with a shy young man who falls in love with the popular boy at school. Half way through it became an adult manga. It didn’t detract from the story but it kind of changed the light and fluffy feel that the story started with. It is still a nice manga but I did like the initial innocence and I felt it was a pity that the innocence was lost. Do we really need to have sex all the time? Anyway I checked and the story is for mature audiences but still. Nothing wrong with having the occasional love story without the sex.

Quick and sugary sweet.

Classmates have a chance encounter only one of them remembers and is glad when they end up not only in the same school but the same class.

They quickly become close and from there the love happens super fast with only a tiny miscommunication.

Tomorrow, Make Me Yours is cute and fluffy, but there's hardly anything else to it. It's not necessarily a bad thing if you like your BL like this, but I perhaps wanted more. Yuki is timid and shy and has no friends really. New semester starts and he meets Hayato, who's really popular and the two soon become friends. Then it's mostly these two falling in love slowly, feeling jealous and having misunderstandings about sex. This is a slow story and I'm glad we have those too, but there's hardly any plot. Yuki and Hayato blush all the time and act quite girly, but still this is quite innocent even with the sex scenes at the end.

The art looks nice and the characters have lively facial expressions, which is nice. There's hardly any backgrounds though, so this is quite a character driven story that happens only in school and the homes of the boys. Every once in a while it's good to read something like this, even though it's not my cup of tea. For those who like stories like this though? Surely a great read then.

really enjoyed this read, it was cute and sweet, just the overly done miscommunication plot was the reason I wouldn't give it a higher rating, but I would buy this manga when it releases

I would like to thank Tokyopop and Netgalley for providing me this earc in exchange for a review. I thought that this was such a cute love story and it surprised me a bit as i read this and i liked the art style and thought it was beautiful. While i do think the romance developed too quickly i still like the main couple together and i enjoyed the use of the miscommunication trope. I loved seeing them work through what it is that they wanted and learning to express themselves to each other. This was overall a fun time for me

This was a cute and fluffy manga about a shy, high schooler falling in love with a popular, more outgoing one. It's a pretty generic high school romance story, so I wasn't as invested in the plot personally.

Thank you to TOKYOPOP and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this manga to review!

I will start by saying this is a BL story and some of the content is graphic and meant for adults. Tomorrow, Make Me Yours is a high school romance story between two characters, Yuki and Hayato. Yuki is an introverted character who takes notice of the “cool and popular guy”, Hayato, at school. They start to hang out with each other more and more until their friendship blooms into a relationship. Overall it is a cute slice of life romance story.

As with most one-shots put out by TOKYOPOP, the pacing felt a bit rushed, but is understandable. I was a little put off at times regarding some of Hayato’s actions, but overall the story was fine. Once the characters dealt with their miscommunication problem, the remainder of the story was quite cute. I enjoyed the art style and would definitely be interested in reading more works by this mangaka in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley and TokyoPop for allowing me early access to this manga for me to review.

That art style was super pretty and there was lots of cute fluffy moment. However, I thought this was going to be the start of something a bit longer like maybe a short series. I think the pacing was too quick from strangers to in an intimate relationship. It’s also very cliche with popular person likes the shy person, but shy person doesn’t know. Shy person thinks their feelings are unreciprocated. It’s just overdone a lot.

Also, this manga is rated 18+ which is fine, but I just totally ended up missing that going into it.

2-2.5 stars

the worst thing a book can be for me is boring and 'tomorrow, make me yours' had a very cliche plotline and the romance moved way too fast? I think they went from strangers to friends to making out on the couch way too fast to be believable. also everyone was just way too nice because the conflict was entirely jealousy and miscommunication but for 2 pages only?

one thing I did like was how queerness was normalized and the author didn't sprinkle in homophobia for increasing drama and angst without actually exploring it

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion in any way
