The way this honestly could have been peak if the mangaka spent more time on developing the relationship between the two and not on random insignificant subplots.

Sentarou’s conflict with his job could have at least been made into a bigger thing, like maybe he starts to wants to become Megu’s dad which makes the conflict between him needing money and not being passionate about what he’s doing more prominent. Instead it just feels like he likes music but is unknown, feels conflicted, and then quits and that’s it. No sort of stakes or real resolution and you just kind of wonder why it was a plot at all.

Then Touma’s yakuza connection plot was also way too prominent for something that didn’t matter. You get a bit of an interesting insight into Ririko, and it’s used as the ‘final conflict’ (Megu being ‘kidnapped’), but nothing that particularly makes the story more interesting or important.

This could have easily been two guys who ’dated’ the same girl, raising a kid, falling in love, and becoming a somewhat family and it would have been 100x better because of the pacing. Or at least if the mangaka wanted to commit to the subplots then it could have been made longer to expand on those stories.

Anyways, not particularly bad, just feels rushed and weirdly paced because of all the different plots going on.

Also anyone who thinks Megu’s language doesn’t suit her age clearly didn’t grow up around my area. Was getting flashbacks to when 12 year old me was in the park with my friends and a 6 year old just started cussing us out with language even i didn’t know. Kids are scary man.

oh, i don’t mind people sleeping with others if they aren’t in an actual relationship, but it does hurt seeing someone sleep with someone else to forget their feelings. Like i don’t mind mc sleeping with the actor guy, it’s just the reason why that hurts.

Uh, i feel like there isn’t a need to make this longer like some are saying. There’s no way a happy ending would come out of this, and it’s clear that the guy is a yandere, there isn’t really any explanation for his obsession with Agatho besides the fact that Agatho showed him kindness and made a promise to him, but that just kind of expresses how crazy Noah is. He’s that deluded.

i’m sorry but if i ever fell for someone like that, i’d punch them and file a restraining order. Usually i’d be like "ah they weren’t dating or in a labelled relationship like that, so he didn’t really cheat" but bro, he knew what he was doing :/ anyways, yeah would be 1000x better if it ended with the unrequited love guy realising how much of an asshole the other guy is and just.. you know, not dating him.

they were literally one shots, of course the only good story is the first one.

For the third story, how the hell are you gonna call the seme a manwhore? what the fuck is wrong with you all? So having sexual relationships is wrong unless they’re in love? Seme liked the uke, but they weren’t dating, he didn’t cheat or do anything wrong, he just slept with the other guy. Neither of them revealed their feelings until after the seme had had sex with the other guy. Hookups exist. They rarely end with a romantic outcome anyway.

    Just reacting about the first part of your comment : that's not true at all, there are a lot of very good ones shots. It's not about the length, these were just badly written.

    fair, but oneshots typically fail to get a good plot or a good relationship dynamic in one chapter, especially when that one chapter is only around 30-40 pages. I mean if you can recommend me some good ones, i’d appreciate it. Always looking for more to read.

    I think the themes of the oneshots heavily influence it aswell. A lot of the best psychological stuff i’ve read have been one shots, however when it comes to romance it just seems rushed.

I literally can’t deal with the whole "oh i’ll sleep/date someone else for your benefit", It makes me so angsty because you’re literally doing no one a favour. I’d literally kill myself if the person i loved broke up with me and got with someone else 'for me', just- what the hell. I couldn’t ever handle that much guilt.

    like i’ve read the raws and stuff but i’m still hella angsty
