Can't Help Myself Around You · review
Holy shit you guys, THIS IS A MASTERPIECE OMG. Tbh, when I started reading this BL I didn't have many expectations. The beginning is very silly and I thought this was going to be a very generic type of BL, with lewdness and a slight touch of cuteness. However, things started to get serious in the 2nd volume and I have to say, I was head over heels for this manga because of how realistic it is. First, the characters. Both have totally different personalities, but they have great chemistry. I was drawn to them every single panel and it was so nice to see theirrelationship grow stronger each chapter. It has a little bit of drama but is nothing over the top, it's just simply worked so well for me. Also, this is the first BL that I read that has a couple made by bisexual men. There's very little real bi/pan representation in BL, so this is a huge deal for me.
The art is nothing special or mind-blowing, but I loved how normal both of the main leads are. You see, not every LGBTQ+ man is a super hot, ripped, good-looking guy, usually, they're just ordinary guys and I love how the artist depicted them like this, it gives a more realistic feel to the story. Also, the mature scenes are so passionate, like damn.
Overall, I really enjoyed this BL. It's definitely one of my favorites right now.
