❀'s manga / #celebrity(69)

weird ass pacing. the sex scenes were good, but honestly not enough of them. lacking in story and couldn't make up for it in sex either. uke is fan of seme. seme is actor, uke voice actor transitioning to first acting role. they are staring alongside each other. they fuck and seem to have a good thing going all of a sudden. then wtf who knows what misunderstanding happens and they never talk to each other again for the rest of filming.......... then they are at the premier and uke bursts out crying and seme chases after and they resolve the misunderstanding, with uke blaming seme for not understanding his feelings despite neither of them bothering to communicate anything at any time. idk not worth revisiting to see if i'm getting it right.

omfg wtf is that ending nooo i want an extra!! manager seme and celebrity uke. uke not doing well in his career but wanting to transition from modelling to acting. there was some scandal before with his old manager catching feelings for him and then getting rejected so spilling his secrets. anyway, uke gets new manager, seme. they get along and uke sees seme really cares for him and wants him to succeed. and uke is succeeding now with seme's help. he confesses to seme but seme ignores him. seme thinks now's not the time for it and he doesn't really believe uke is in love with him. then seme asks for a transfer to be someone else's manager instead. i'm not sure why he thought this was a good idea.... it's just creating some conflict in the story i guess. they are apart but only makes them grow fonder for each other. uke sees seme is helping his new manager and still thinking of him. uke goes to seme's house to confess again and this time seme accepts him and they sleep together. then seme needs to go on a trip with his new talent for several months. he comes back and is uke's manager again cuz uke's new manager is suddenly on maternity leave?? timing is weird cuz supposedly seme was only gone on the trip 3 months.... idk but the manga just ends there when seme returns!!

just a cute basic kpop story. no hard drama. sad it's fucking censored so all the sex scenes are just cut out.... put the sex friends tag, but they are kinda ambiguous about it. like they both like each other, but not defining the relationship until the end. basically they're in a kpop band, but form a duo for a while cuz other members are otherwise occupied. they deal with kpop things like scandals, another dude, rich family problems, etc lol. and have some sex along the way, uke never really protesting and even being forward sometimes, but not saying he likes seme directly. uke keeps saying he's fake but we never really see his "real" self idk he really is the nice cute guy he portrays himself as?? nothing problematic but nothing offensive either. really just a 3 for story, but liked the art and no bs like typical manhwa dragging shit out and having problematic shit.

ok this was wild and great. uke 27, seme 38. ending is always a little weak cuz the drama gets to high the come down is never that satisfying. at least this didn't end the moment they drama concluded, but the tying up loose ends was too fast and we didn't get any extras!! tbh they are a boring couple lol and not sure i like either of them, but they are perfect for each other. seme is a rich ceo. uke is part of a kpop group and wanting to get into acting and stuff. they get into a sex contract where uke "entertains" seme in return for work opportunities like getting auditions. but seme never gives him a role directly and uke doesn't wan money. the whole background to this is uke's mom is in a coma and his dad died 7 years ago. both caused by a car accident. seme was there for the accident and helped cover it up, cuz it was caused by his half-brother. it's fucking complicated. he wants revenge on his father for abandoning his mom and making someone burn up his mom's apartment. he teams up with this woman who wants his half-bro dead and they conspire to work together to achieve individual goals. anyway, this and that. lots of provoking here and there. using uke to get to seme and annoy seme. shit like that. but seme is usually there to help get uke out of things and uke slowly falls in love despite hating the contract at first. he also suspects seme likes him cuz seme kisses him and seme has said he doesn't kiss people he doesn't love. uke confesses but seme doesn't react. then he puts distance between them. but then seme lets him in when he's down about his mom's death anniversary. another proof for uke that seme loves him. then there's the climax to the whole seme's family revenge drama and it's weird. he kidnaps uke for a couple days to hide him from the drama? cuz the half-bro is plotting to ruin uke. and at this point uke is mad at seme cuz seme tried to push him away to protect him and now is kidnapping him. uke also suspects seme killed his parents, not the half-bro. so uke is really mad. but after a couple days he can't deny he still loves seme despite all that and goes a little crazy when seme's away one night. he is so relieved seme comes back and seme sees uke's not okay and releases him cuz the shit blew over anyway. idk it was so weird what happened outside while this was happening......... after that uke gets kidnapped by half-bro. but he makes it out alive with help of the woman who hates half-bro. this and that, uke gets stabbed and goes to hospital while saving seme's life. and nothing happens, he gets better lol and is happy with seme when he gets out. idk it's all weird and fast here. so much stuff crammed into 1 chapter. even though before, each chapter was really descriptive and well-written imo. i was fucking hooked. reminds me of "exotic love" kinda. love this trope i guess. anyway, then uke's group has a last concert and disbands i guess. seme becomes chairman after his father dies. half-bro is crazy and crippled now. they are happily in love. but honestly their characters were kinda flat. great story nonetheless so 5 stars, but not best.

pure shounen ai with hardly a kiss lol. literally their first kiss was censored....... and then we get 2 kiss pics and that's it...... very slow story and i was so tired of it by the end. misunderstanding after misunderstanding. it was kinda cute in the beginning while they were figuring out feelings for each other, but the shit at the end didn't make any sense. how after dating did seme think uke hates him and still goes on dates with him....... so wtf was that when seme said he thought they were strangers..... hurt uke so bad just wtf. basically chef seme is fan of an idol. uke is in same idol group and notices seme coming to their fan events. he then sees it's seme when group goes out to eat at seme's restaurant. he starts picking on seme for fun cuz he likes the idol. they kinda get close and start a friendship. then both realize feelings for each other. uke realizes seme's the chef who inspired him to keep going when he was a trainee cuz he read seme's interview article. seme misunderstands that uke likes some other chef. anyway, they figure it out and get together. then seme has restaurant problems cuz of competition. but he hates doing promotions for some dumbass reason. like his dad kept doing promos of his restaurant but not serving good food so in the end went bankrupt. wtf so now seme only focuses on quality and never promos....... doesn't even make sense cuz he can promo and keep the food quality good to keep ppl coming back. anyway, his restaurant is sinking, he thinks uke hates him cuz he saw uke eating at the competition, and he pushes uke away. but uke wants to help and makes a social media post about seme's restaurant and basically saves it i guess idk. seme was also changing up some dishes. then they make up cuz they realize each other is most important, not some restaurant shit or misunderstanding or w/e.

dropped chap 13. just bs story. characters lack depth. story is wack so censored i have no idea if huge chunks are missing or it's just this jumpy. read the ending and it's the same boring shit. no change from how they were in chap 13 already..... like they already slept together. seme still a fucking doofus. uke still tsundere. just a bit closer and dating, but boring.

this ain't great, but it's something lol..... no wonder it never got picked up by an english publisher, but the scans team did a great job. seme and uke grew up together in same orphanage for a few years. then seme's dad went to pick him up cuz he needed an heir or something idk. seme's mom was killed by the dad so why pick up seme idk....... now years later seme is disowned again... and working as an actor. uke is just a random guy now and his sister is aiming to be an actress. one day the sis and seme get into a car accident. sis dies and seme comes back after a year of rest. uke is mad about seme involved in death of his sister and dies thinking about it i guess. he wakes up a year in the past before the accident happened. he is somehow seme's manager now and seme is nasty at first but with sex they get close. then seme realizes uke is the kid from his past. they have a bunch of sex and somehow uke starts liking seme as well. idk inexplicable. in the end turns out seme's dad was the one trying to kill seme and sis and uke too..... i really don't get it but this time uke was the one hurt in the crash. he was in a coma 3 months but wakes up and is fine and they are happy together.

super great story of sleeping partners literally. they are models and slowly fall in love. hot and sweet. umm reading it again idk why i rated it so highly before. was i blind? the translations are bad lol and story moves pretty fast. 3 stars now.

they're friends since high school and now actor/model and manager. idk really, just skimmed. whole premise is there's an app that forces them to do sexual things together or else it causes great misfortune in their lives. so they listen to it and do it. i'm just not into these girly drawings. apparently there's a second couple too that's even worse.

mehhhh. author wanted threesome ending but obviously had to change course. by the end i felt bad for 2nd ml. they 3 working on a reality show as the stars. semes are having sex. uke is freaked out. gets pulled into having sex after catching them all the time. somehow the semes start to like uke and stop fucking each other.... then uke protests real seme's feelings the whole time until the end....... 2nd seme gets kinda paired off with his childhood friend but we never see the conclusion of that story...
