❀'s manga / #established relationship(99)

very cute overall. uke is kinda a dummy in that he's too exaggerated in his cluelessness. 5 stars for enjoyability and cuteness, but not much plot. each chapter kinda focuses on a different step in their relationship. first chapter they're already together and it's leading up to their first time having sex. then uke feels bad doing not much around the house so he's like trying to learn and seme is super kind telling him no need to push himself. then they want to make others know they're dating so they stop getting invited to goukons but don't want to say dating each other. but then uke sees seme be popular with women and he gets jealous so he agrees to tell others and it's kinda obvious to others that they're dating each other lol. then they have their first date, which is kinda weird like you've been dating many months and no dates............. and finally seme proposes almost as a joke, just suggesting marriage, but uke takes it seriously and buys them rings. seme thought maybe he was cheating cuz uke kept being away to work more part time jobs. and then we see a cute scene of them dressed up for the wedding and then being all formal to have sex that night lol.

complete for all intents and purposes since rest of volume is other stories. both of these are established relationships. first one seme and uke are kinda sex friends. uke keeps having sex with seme for unknown reasons even though he wants a gf so bad and wants to get married. he comes around to dating seme though and then realizes he loves seme once seme starts acting distant. second one is established relationship but uke suddenly wants to break up. confused why cuz translations are pretty bad......... but it's about seme's face being too handsome?? and they get back together again. second chapter didn't really read but it's some work conflict with another dude butting in idk.....

sequel to the other restart. this one was exploring more of the seme's feelings towards the uke. turns out he's never confessed even though they've been dating like a year. seme gets jealous seeing uke close with a female and his old boss. he wonders if he really loves uke and can spend the rest of their life together. uke senses seme's been trying to tell something and they fight when uke tries to force it out of seme and seme ofc refuses to say in that situation. seme consults with their married friend about how he knew his wife was the one and he comes to realize that love is simple. just feel happier with that person than without. there's an accident at the farm and a canopy greenhouse thing collapses on top of them. seme shields uke and gets a concussion. in the hospital after he's stable, seme confesses finally and uke takes it well and says ofc he already knew. he plays it off but i'm sure he was happy to hear it lol. they also get a civil partnership thing but it doesn't really legally change anything. and after that seme buys them rings and overall it's just a fluffy story. no dumb conflict like seme creating fights with uke over petty jealousy of what uke might be doing with other people. he recognizes his feelings and processes them and is confident enough to move on and trust uke. love the realism as always.

they are both betas and somehow having a lot of self-crisis cuz it's not normal to have beta/beta gay relationships?? but somehow alpha omega gays are okay?? and idk why they mind so much in public when it's not even possible to tell if they're a/o or b/b??????? i just don't get the conflict of this whole story. they basically get all insecure and shit and create problems and in the end nothing changed cuz they're still both fucking betas and still together........ i don't even know who was more insecure now, the seme or uke. and uke ran away when he saw seme get a gender test to confirm his beta status. and just kept living in a hotel until seme texted him to talk.......... and he was so happy to receive the text but man he could have just approached seme on his own.

this is so good as a school life fun read. nothing too deep here, but adorable characters and beautiful art chap 1 starts off with them already in a relationship and seme wanting to do it with uke. seme is school council president and uke a delinquent blondie. they're in third year high school and different classes. uke runs away from sex but then approaches seme about it when he's prepared and ready. i think it's great how both sides obviously love the other and aren't afraid to express their feelings. great communication and nobody is crazy having unrealistic jealousy or fits. then in second chap we see the story of how they got together. in second year, teacher asked seme to talk to uke to make uke come to school more. seme is annoyed and just doing it a bit out of obligation so he can say he did it, but then he realizes uke is super cute and wants to get to know him more. so slowly his bothering uke turns them kinda into friends and he spends a lot of time with uke. he even helps uke over the summer to complete their homework. and when uke falls ill and can't turn in the hw, he goes to uke's house to pick them up and bring back to the school. uke's mom is so cute and sweet too. and then at the end of second year, they find out they're going to different classes next year and seme is sad about it. realizes he doesn't want to be apart from uke and confesses. says if uke doesn't hate it it or fight him, he wants them to go out together. and uke doesn't fight so i guess automatic acceptance of dating. then we see them in third year, sneaking around to meet and stuff. seme getting jealous that uke's not jealous he's going to karaoke with friends. but then turns out it's a goukon type party and uke is working at that karaoke place so he does get a bit jealous lol and seme is happy and doesn't push it too far, leaving early. then they get found out having sex at school by some dude who kinda liked seme in admiration but is fine to give up. but this dude under pressure told another guy who was looking for seme. this other guy has a crush on uke and wants them to break up. he confronts uke about the relationship and says uke can count on him to talk about anything. uke's too nice lol and believes him. so uke asks for advice on how to help seme during exam season. uke doesn't want to interfere with seme's academics and future. this dude obviously gives bad advice like telling uke to stay away from seme lol. and it does cause a small rift between them cuz uke uses excuses to stay away from seme and seme is hurt. then he seems uke talking with the other guy and uke won't tell seme what they were talking about, so seme is hurt again. they stop talking for a while after that, cuz uke thinks seme is mad and seme was wanting uke to contact him and exams are happening, so uke doesn't want to disturb seme. idk but no contact until exams end, then seme receives a text from the other guy. this whole time it was sort of implied the guy liked seme, but it's revealed he actually likes uke and he calls seme is love rival lol. uke shows up and and ofc says no he doesn't like this guy cuz he likes seme and they kiss in front of him. i think this is the first time uke's confessed his feelings like this. seme was indeed feeling a little insecure cuz he realized the way they started dating was kinda forced by him lol. anyway, then we see them graduate high school and seme received news he got into his uni of choice and all this good stuff. very cute story overall. i would not say it truly touched me, but it's just excellent quality all around.

the story here is great, a wonderful continuation of this couple! so now they're in third year and thinking about future plans. seme wants to be an architect and live with uke. he's got plans for them to rent together and be in the same city or take day trips to each other. but then uke drops the bombshell that he's going to france for uni to study design with his designer grandma. i guess he's doing fashion design. seme gets fucking mad which is so dickish of him. then when their families are spending christmas together, the parents ask about gfs and seme gets even more mad about shit. like thinking how uke should have a normal gf and not letting uke talk about their relationship. and then afterwards, he tells uke they're fucking over and just walks off and never talks to uke again................ and then they graduate and seme starts feeling back he never replied to uke's text to talk. just then uke texts again saying he's off to france and seme is sad but resigned. then his brother comes into his room and is like i'll drive you to the airport let's go and seme decides to go. at the airport he apologizes and says he didn't mean any of that. and uke is super nice and said he kinda knew seme wasn't serious cuz seme wasn't making eye contact and stuff. anyway so seme asks uke to stay but ofc uke is a strong independent man and he still needs to go to france to find his own path in life. they promise to stay in touch and uke is off. they video chat a lot and seme grows a bit taller. when uke comes back to japan, he's 175 and uke is still 186. they go directly to a hotel to fuck....... i think it's kind of weird uke never came back all those years in uni...... anyway and then we see a bit 3 years into the future again when seme is in france asking uke's grandma for uke's hand i guess. cuz we see now they're wearing rings. and there's an extra where seme has plans to design and build a house for them both in the future. reading the summary back it doesn't sound great lol but i kind of understand seme and uke is super cute and they're not unreasonable unrealistic characters. love that uke went to do something for himself even though seme had plans to just support him for life on an architect salary.

so seme and uke used to be lovers and work together to find tungsten, a rare metal. on an expedition to find tungsten, a cave collapses and somehow only uke makes it out. seme is gone. 5 years later uke still can't get over seme but is not working in the same mountain on another expedition. there's a guy in the team who looks exactly like seme but the guy says he's not seme. and there's something suspicious about this trip cuz there's supposed to be 4 people but 5 showed up all claiming to be invited to work. anyway, intrigue here and there and then uke finally persuades seme to have sex with him. while doing it, all of seme's memories come back. actually he had been having some flashbacks and dreaming about uke ever since they met again. from then on seme vows to protect uke from the spy. there's some action at the end where the spy captures uke cuz uke knows how to get down the mountain and tries to run off with their info. but seme catches up in another car and dangling off a cliff uke saves seme. and i guess all ends and it's great, seme and uke together. honestly so much plot from this author, i loved it.

tbh the great art was all that kept me around. everything else sucked. the art obfuscated this. plot was shit, characters shit. artist was bad at like focusing on the action of the plot. just kept telling us what happened. and idk why they keep doing flashbacks to say what happened instead of just showing what happened in the moment. that's why it got so confusing like whenever some big action was happening, the chapter just ended and next chapter jumped forward and someone explained what happened.......or did a flashback....... seme sucks ass keeping uke confined and raping him to exhaustion. supposedly uke liked it though. uke also sucks for being some weak mofo who keeps pushing seme away even though he loves seme and saying he wants to break up. just hurting seme for no fucking reason i can see. just some mental barrier shit he has. plot is supposed to be about seme succeeding the dragon lord of nyc as new dragon lord. but they say all this and barely show it. instead spend like 10 chapters showing sex while uke is confined in seme's house....... ugh

whole story about them finally having sex cuz at first uke is scared by seme's big dick. from fingering to getting advice from seme's cousin about how to clench his ass. and some hot scenes at the end where uke feels pleasure from his ass now lol.

main story is about uke losing his memories after falling down the stairs. he seems to go back to when seme got attacked by a knifeman in the original story. this is a good opportunity for them to clarify details that got glossed over. also good to talk things out like seme apologizing for his past hurtful actions and uke revealing it was seme who turned him into an omega that one time they met in uni.
