Mmm I really wanted to like this manga, but it was really boring (-~-;). I love delinquent bl tropes, especially when the delinquent bottoms, but I really couldn’t get into this one. I don’t know anything about either of the characters, other than they like each other, and their relationship seems extremely unbelievable because of how uncomfortably fast paced the whole story was. Like they only sort of kissed once before they had sex and all of their interactions were only about their relationship and not about actually wanting to get to know each other, and it was made obvious at the beginning they did not know each other well at all.
Like the author should have spaced a lot if this out over 5-6 chapters, and spent more time on them trying to become friends, and finding stuff out about each other, and since there is no gimmick to the story other than one of them being a delinquent (which could have been used in more interesting ways, but the author kept trying to make him the “soft sensitive“ boy instead of using the delinquent set up to their advantage) there was nothing interesting happening throughout the 3 chapters. I think the author thought the only formula to a good bl story was opposite/unlikely pairing + some drama +smut =good story, but I really just found no interest in this. I’ve str8 up read one shots I’ve been more emotionally invested in, and it didn’t even have smut.
Feel free to voice opinion, idrk.

    I get what you're saying and I agree, but imagine if it was a heterosexual couple? Would you say the same thing? It's just the way it is with yaoi nowadays. ( ̄ε(# ̄)Σ

    I honestly believe would if it was a same sex couple,
    Tho I don’t read a lot of regular shoujo, so idrk (-v-;)
    I honestly blame most of it on the pacing

    Ya no prob!
    My absolute fave is Blue Sky Complex
    And another fave is Let Dai, and it doesn’t have an established uke/seme relationship (which honestly makes it better) but it is definitely worth checking it out as the delinquent is the most hardcore and rebellious, yet soft in the middle, I’ve ever seen
    Some other good ones:
    http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/saezuru_tori_wa_habatakanai/ -rather than a delinquent, a gang leader but it’s really good (great smut lol)
    http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/sensei_ni_nerawareteimasu/ -really rapey (yikes) but it’s def what your looking for for a delinquent uke
    http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/oko_sama_star/ -another one of my favorites, it’s the most adorable bl with a delinquent I’ve ever read, it’s honestly amazing

    Sorry the list is long, but you’ve made me really realize how much I love the trope (as a lot of these are in my overall Top 10 BL list)

    OH MY GOD YOU'RE A LEGEND!! prior to this ive only read blue sky complex from everything u mentioned and its definitely on my top 10 favourites i just love is SO MUCH so i kno to absolutely trust ur recs hehehe I'll get to reading all this asap thank u so much for taking the time n helping me!!! have a lovely day <3

    also yes its such a great trope cuz u get to see this guy who acts like hes the shit on the outside so its rly fun to see him in a more vulnerable state during sex. I also love sensitive semes cuz i feel like sometimes in manga semes emotions are so stripped down to almost nothing, like this stone hard cold exterior which isnt that all interesting. hot maybe but u get what i mean. also apart from badass power bottoms i just loooove delinquents being BABY BOYS all whiny n getting Put Into Place ahhhh now im the one rambling hhhhh i guess we have that with our love for this trope in common lmaooo thanks again!!

    Haha ya, ur welcome! I hope you enjoy them!
    (Btw Let Dai seems like it goes in fast but it actually takes a while for things to really get going between the main characters, also it’s kinda depressing so I hope ur prepared for that )
