    Damn, both reviews are good, each with its +ves and -ves...

    Imo, #1 Positives would be the imagery used, and the depth/amount of thought placed into writing it... Negative would be that there are some superficial parts... the second paragraph could have been made a lot shorter, if not taken out all completely... it didn't add much to the review I thought.

    #2 Positives would be that it's clear and straight to the point... it also warned about being hardcore BDSM, which is good methinks~ On the other hand, it lacked depth, and I felt like I was told lots of things, but not showed why the writer thought so...

    Well, that was just my humble opinion. Previous MROTM participants seemed to like us giving reviews about their own, so I tried going a little bit more in-depth this time.

    Went with #1 in the end.

    I normally prefer reviews with separate parts using headings. But #1 was a theme review, and it showed me that it is also a good style for reviews, telling enough to get me interested without feeling too spoilery.

    #2 was good, but it just felt too rushed. And it's a title I have read, and part of me isn't sure if the warnings covered enough, yet to be wary of spoilers - don't take this too harshly, as I have never written a manga review!

    Two good reviews which give me information on what I would read.

    #1 focuses on the plot line and the underlying theme
    #2 is more an overall straightforward evaluation of the book.

    I went with #1 because of this emphasis on the underlying theme. It gives me the curiosity to check the book fpr myself to see about sharing love in this fashion.

    I am personally unable to overlook typos and grammatical errors, which played a big part in my decision in going with Review #2. I believe both reviews had their good points though, each with their own style and evaluation method. But I also still preferred the content in Review #2, because it was less plot and more general and more about what to expect. Nice job, reviewers!

    two good reviews! I agree a lot with @Dids; above funnily (yeah just hinting that we actually twin sets which makes it hilarious in a way )

    also went with #1 but both are good!
