❀'s manga / #fake dating(8)

super cute fake lovers to real lovers. seme has liked uke since uni days. they are working in same company now and not as close. perfect balance of both liking each other. uke's fall was so genuine here.

poor uke in debt working odd jobs. rich seme hires him to act as bf so he can find out who his stalker is. seme's stalker been killing anyone seme flirts with. whole story is basically revolving around that. they get closer over time and somehow start liking each other. culminates in uke being kidnapped and hurt. but seme comes to the rescue and stalker gets caught.

absolute fucking crack but it is so funny and cute lol. story is a mess but it's okay, just living for the crack. seme forces uke into a contract relationship cuz seme is director at uke's workplace and promises to transfer uke to the uk if they date. but seme actually really likes uke and does so much for him and is so sweet. uke is really not into it and even up to the end when he gets to the uk, he's not ready to admit he likes seme. but then he gets reminded of how they met once back in high school. and somehow that changes everything and he wants to see seme again. turns out seme quit his job and came to uk to meet uke anyway lol. good, but nothing spectacular. just unique for the crack.

in a world where japan allows gay marriage, seme proposes to uke to do a provisional 6 months marriage. they were childhood friends and apparently seme loved uke this whole time. uke is a neet and just dumped, so he accepts. this one is cute except for the fact that it's so fking basic. basic ass characters perpetuating shit stereotypes about the guy working hard at home. and being a fucking shit about housework, but looking cool when he works..... like wtf. and then uke being lazy but loving housework and great at cooking.... shitty traditional japanese values in a bl manga

kinda cute with some fun commentary on fujoshi. seme sucks at being a shounen mangaka so he's transferred to do bl manga. uke has had a crush on seme for a long time and proposes fake dating to help seme with his bl work. but seme starts to realize he thinks uke is cute. real feelings develop and after some silly misunderstandings, they get together.

something about a trend guys do where they pretend to be a BL couple for likes and fame. seme asks uke to do it and uke agrees. seme already liked uke. uke starts getting feelings for seme and then they date. i actually like the second couple better which is seme's brother's couple. they are famous BL pretend couple. at high school graduation ceremony, seme wants to confess and date for real. but then he comes on strong to uke and uke looks like he doesn't want it. so seme leaves and avoids uke and moves off to uni without telling uke. but then uke shows up at his new apartment when he moves in cuz seme's bro helped him. seme doesn't really know why he's there but he still goes on pretending all is okay with them as friends. but then uke kinda breaks down saying seme needs to be clear if he wants to push uke away. and turns out it was misunderstanding angst. uke thought seme stopped halfway on graduation day cuz seme was disgusted and couldn't go through with it. seme thought uke was pushing him away cuz he didn't like it. but uke was just nervous about doing it at school. so they both find out they like each other and date for real. this is really sweet.

fuck i was misled and thought it was complete but it's fucking not. now 3 more months until the next chapter releases..................... seme likes uke and proposes fake marriage to get other people off their backs cuz they're both popular. uke agrees and they start living together. seme starts cooking for them both cuz uke always eats instant foods. they were sleeping together while uke's bed's not here, but seme keeps getting aroused and sleeps on the couch instead. one day he's giving uke a massage and then uke gets hard and seme jerks him off and uke is totally cool about it???????? it's just like never talked about again. then uke walks in on seme jerking on the couch and seme kinda tells him to jerk off as well so it's fair???????? and uke fucking does. this uke is like dumb and oblivious which is cute in some ways, but just doesn't make any sense in other ways. then on uke's 39th bday he gets drunk and tells seme about how he suspects seme's gay and that means uke would want to end their arrangement but uke is currently really unsure about it. seme confesses to uke and then uke says some misleading things causing seme to kiss him and then kinda have sex with him. this part is so gross to me like why would seme take advantage of drunk uke..........next morning uke even says he can't remember what happened in the second half of the night......... well uke goes back home to think things over and realizes he sees seme as family now and want to go back to seme. seme readily accepts uke back and wants to test if uke really likes him or just anyone?? so he blindfolds uke and touches him and uke realizes he only likes seme, can't do it if imagining other people. all this time was just the engagement period and at the end of 6 months is when they will decide to marry or not. seme got a registration paper and gave it to uke for him to decide to sign it officially or not. ok now i've read the second volume. here uke comes to terms with his feelings for seme. and rereading the first volume, idk why i only gave it 3 stars before lol. their first time jerking off kinda makes sense now. uke is like a naive dummy who didn't know it was weird to jerk off. so he just kept going with the flow for everything. it's kind of cute. overall i think it's a cute fluffy story. seme is a bit too one dimensional though.

pretty senseless but it's cute so i like it. the art is pretty, smut is pretty sexy though not overdone, and the characters are very likeable. they are forced to get married by their company lol. and somehow fall in love.
