Review #1
Manga title: I Can Lie Well If I Put On My Uniform (Seifuku o Matoeba, Umaku Uso ga Tsuketa no ni) Manga artist and author: Kusabi Keri Manga cover picture: https://i.imgur.com/zQCHhFO.png
Review:
The title is a mouthful and the cover picture implies their mouths are otherwise occupied. A short story with sexy characters that brings me back to reading it over and over again.
The two handsome men in the picture are Sakuraba Souta (left) and Ukaji Tsumugu (right). Souta is portrayed as the playboy that became a pilot to get laid. As one of his not-so-one-night-stands starts to become a little too attached, he reaches out his childhood friend and fellow pilot (and number one rival!) to help get rid of her with a little bit of BL (A part of me says Sneaky Souta, but the BL fangirl in me rubs her hands together with glee).
Things escalate rather quickly after that and sexy times ensue (with a small hint of non-consensualness). The story further develops the two protagonists with looks into their past and other developments from the ‘childhood friend’ side as well as the ‘number one rival’ side, and the FEELINGS show up. And then you have sexy times WITH FEELINGS! Combine that with the awesome art, and you have a manga that should be bookmarked, favorited and you can join me with rereading it over and over again.
I shall start with the only inconvenience there is, the ongoing status, but please don’t let this take you back and make space in your reading plans for it, if not, do it for the humor and the gorgeous artwork.
The storyline is about college life/fate/hardships/emotions. YuYang is the upperclassmate in charge with welcoming the new students and helping them find their way around campus. On the reception day he helps LiHuan find his room, but the attitude of this guy seems quite rude and so they start on the wrong foot.
I honestly loved from the start the contrast between the characters and there is an obvious character development with each chapter. LiHuan is a super tall and quiet guy who’s easily misunderstood, compared to him, YuYang is a very charismatic, direct and an openly gay guy, he’s way shorter than LiHuan and due to his character, is always surrounded by people, unlike someone else…
But more interesting was the fact that the author chose to write a short preview with the hardships they will share, so we simply get hooked up, because once you find out what they’ll be, you don’t wanna miss it! There are other things to appreciate like the beautiful writing style, the flow of the plot, the good background story of the characters and the suspense. This is a piece worth reading.
“As required, in the following 200 issues we would experience together every kind of hardships…”

Both were well-written. In the end, #2 was just a little bit more than #1, but either could have won in other months. Great work!
