❀'s manga / #divorced(46)

15+ year age gap probably. uni dorm resident seme and dorm caretaker uke. they start having sex after uke goes to tell seme to be quiet after a noise complaint. turns out seme was fucking some dude and that dude left so seme used uke instead. then for some reason they kept doing blowjobs and that turned to fucking and somehow they like each other now. uke doesn't want to admit he's in love with seme cuz he thinks seme's just playing with him. he almost leaves his job to go work for his friend instead. seme gets upset about that and tells him not to quit, so uke doesn't...... and i guess that's the end. they confessed to each other but nothing official was said.

they used to be friends in high school but lost contact. now 10 years later they meet again. seme has 2 kids and divorced. uke single and needing a place to live. seme invites him to live together. they grow close. seme confesses his feelings. uke is conflicted but realizes he likes seme too.

typical dark middle eastern prince comes to japan story lol. idk why this is such a common trope. it's cute, but too righteous sometimes.... uke comes to japan, he's some young prince of a kingdom. seme is tasked with showing him around. seme is a writer who has been uninspired for a long time now. but uke inspires him and encourages him to write again. idk why he had to call up his ex-wife who he never talked to in so long just to tell her he lied about getting an award..... and the whole award bit is so weird..... like he lies about it, but then it's real cuz he gets one, but then he finds out it's just cuz of uke's connections and money, so then he turns down the award and tells his ex he lied....... wtf and it caused a fight where he lashed out at uke for getting him the award through money and connections.

cute story of adults meeting and dating and having sex. very traditional relationship progression, just a natural everyday story. seme had noticed uke some years before at the coffee shop he works at. uke comes back after his divorce and seme accidentally spills water on uke. seme makes it very obvious he likes uke and uke notices. seme asks uke out and uke is kinda hesitant but agrees to a date. after that they go on a date and enjoy it and uke opens up more. he used to have huge expectations for love, but realized just normally spending days together is love too. it's very sweet and a good message. then seme is worried about how to go further with uke cuz he thinks uke might not want it. but uke is open to it when seme brings it up and honestly uke was kinda thinking about it too. so they do it. and then a cute domestic extra of them shopping for some furniture.

this story is sooo dumb. uke is a fucking dumbass who never follows seme's instructions to stay safe and listen. and he can't communicate shit, which just leads to misunderstandings forever cuz he thinks he an handle shit but he really can't..... basically seme and uke were kinda friends in middle school. both poor and only with a mom. but then uke caught eye of a bully, whose family is involved with the mob. in order to protect seme, uke distances himself from seme cuz the bully is hurting everyone who gets close to uke. seme feels betrayed and vows to take revenge on uke. he teams up with his half-sister who says she'll help him if he helps her with family succession drama. so like 13 years later, now they're adults and uke is still poor and in debt to the bully. he gets advised to take a job to do a sham marriage. he agrees cuz it'll be a big sum of money. he marries seme's sister. then seme comes into the picture and threatens to tell his sister that uke cheated if uke doesn't do what seme wants. seme forces uke to have sex. uke doesn't want his wife to know cuz it's in their contract that if he does anything to disgrace the family, he will have to pay a big penalty. anyway, seme and uke having a lot of sex and their relationship kinda improving. it's never really made clear their feelings for each other and when they officially start dating. just here and there they randomly say they like each other. anyway, big drama at the end with seme's cousin trying to kill seme to remove him from succession. but he ends up killing his own father..... and then the bully is there trying to get away and he kidnaps uke and rapes uke....... honestly here uke is a fucking dumbass. he thinks he's saving seme by doing this but seme just told him to fucking lie low. and he lets the bully fuck him and shit ughhghghghggggh anyway, seme saves him from the bully, the police get involved and arrest the bully's men as well. shit is resolved i guess and story ends.... no real defining of the relationship. also in the middle uke got divorced..... like he was not even married a year....

story had promise but poor execution. just senseless stuff leading to them living together and then somehow straight divorced uke likes seme back. then they easily just kiss and fuck and get together...
