❀'s manga / #future progression(65)

these two met in high school and become so enamoured with each other. both think they were 'saved' by the other and really loved each other. bitchy girl caught them kissing and posted the photo out. to save the uke, seme says it was just to tease the uke, and uke gets super upset. he runs to a broken stairwell and falls, but is saved by the seme. seme critically injures his leg and can't play soccer anymore. to strap uke to his side, he says uke must take responsibility. but uke wanted to stay with seme anyway and is glad to hear seme say this. in fact he thought seme might hate him so much and never want to see him again. he also starts taking care of the seme's sexual needs. years later, uke one day finds out that seme has been lying and his leg is healed, as much as it can be, and no longer goes to rehabilitation. uke kinda confused and just thinks seme was being nice by not pushing him away. but seme actually just didn't want uke to leave. some drama here about this shit and how they think they are deceiving the other but just wants to be with the other. but in the end both realize it's best to be honest and say feelings clearly, so they do and it's all good. poor translation job, but gets the means across. this is a pretty 'deep' story though so author tries to use a lot of flowery language that isn't translated well.

uke and seme were kinda friends in high school. mostly uke bothering seme and asking for money. he didn't really know seme was son of rich family at first. seme started to really like uke cuz he was seen for himself and not just as son of his rich family. one day he gave uke a ps4 and then made uke promise to marry him if he became an alpha. uke just agreed cuz he thought seme was delirious from fever and no way would be an alpha. but ofc seme became an alpha and then kinda tricked uke into marrying him cuz uke's family was in a tough financial situation and seme would invest in them if uke married him. after that it's some sex and seme kinda being jealous of uke's past being slutty and uke going to a party despite being married now. not much happens... we get a little glimpse of them 10 years later but again it's just seme wanting to fuck uke... there's some mention of their kids but we don't see it.

quite a compelling story. near masterpiece, but a bit too stereotypical of a story. nothing unexpected, but everything was done superbly. uke is 13th prince in his country and an omega, so they all hate him. he gets sold off to marry the king of a distant land. uke is like w/e i'll do my duty as a queen, but nothing more. well turns out the king is still a 10 year old child. unknown how old uke is. they start meeting everyday after marriage and get along well. after a while seme asks uke to promise to be his in the future, and uke actually agrees despite not wanting it when he came here. seme then sets off on a tour of his land cuz it's a requirement for a king after ascending the throne. then his brother comes in and says seme's dead. and he confesses to uke that he ordered seme to be killed by arrow. uke doesn't want to become the brother's omega, so he runs off and jumps off a cliff. he survives and is taken care of by seme's other older brother who renounced the throne to live as a peasant with his wife. 8 years later they've set up a good operation there without detection by the brother. uke learned engineering in his country and taught the village people how to make tools to take care of themselves and sell to others. one night after hearing about the brother's attack on a nearby village, he goes to check it out and meets seme again. seme saves him from some of the king's men lingering around. a sudden reunion and seme takes uke back to his village. turns out seme is leading the rebels who want to overthrow the king. they plot and get contacted by this friend of the brother to overthrow the brother together. in return they have to help the friend take over his own country as king. they accept and get allowed into the palace with the friend, have an audience with the brother who's currently king. seme steps in just as the brother is about to kill uke. they send the brother away instead of killing him. ugh as typical in japanese manga.... but then it's implied the brother got killed by the coachmen who were driving him out of the city cuz the hated him for killing their sons. and finally after all that uke and seme have sex and mate with a bite. then we don't really see anything of them afterwards, which is kinda disappointing..... we just see some village people remarking positively about their reign so it sounds like it's hundreds of years later....... :((

two hot guys in love with each other for poorly thought out reasons lol. interesting concept overall, execution questionable. just not sure i'm into the art and their personalities. none of the characters strike me as lovable. just not my type. update upon reading again: seme and uke are going to same uni and both kinda well known for being hot. uke's liked seme since seeing him once in high school and decided to go to same uni as seme. seme's like uke since they were kids lol. uke acts really shy around seme though he wants seme to like him. when they do be alone for the first time, uke kisses seme out of the blue and runs off. after that seme goes after him and starts kinda touching him sexually. but seme doesn't make it clear he likes uke. he just keeps acting kinda mean and teasing uke. uke decides to confess for real and seme reveals he's liked uke since childhood and uke vaguely remembers. we get a cute future progression last chap showing them after uni. uke went on to be a model and seme a salaryman and they're still super cute together.

SIDE STORIES STILL COMING ASDFIASIDFSAEFIASEJFS CAN'T WAIT!!!! SEME HAS A DOBIE AHASAHSHSDHFASIEASEFLI HE'S SO CUTE!!!! drawn kinda weird sometimes.... but honestly good compared to previous manhwas and this dobie gets a lot of screen time. alpha x alpha story. not much discussion of their gender status though, cuz it's just leftover from the first story in this universe. uke 30, seme 37. age gap barely mentioned in story and doesn't play a role at all imo. sometimes seme feels like a younger seme. honestly kinda confusing in the beginning cuz i think author expected ppl to know the previous story but that hasn't been translated into eng so idk..... gist is uke and seme slept together one night 9 years ago. then uke liked seme kinda, but realized seme didn't remember him cuz he was so drunk. seme got interested in uke cuz uke is a ceramics artist and seme works at a gallery. but seme says he finds uke more interesting than his works cuz he saw uke stand up to a nasty professor who makes artists sleep with him in exchange for fame. anyway, since then, they both know each other but they don't really meet again. i think they meet again for work involving uke's ex, but this part is in the previous story and just glossed over here and i'm fucking confused. main thing is in the present, uke has been in an artistic slump for 5 years since he broke up with ex and he can't get over his ex. seme is kinda in love with his step-"mother" who is an omega man. some complicated shit went down there like the mother seeing his father in seme and doing gross stuff with him?? or letting seme be abused by his father cuz the omega didn't want to do anything the father didn't like in case he's thrown away....w/e this is complicated but not that important. basically uke approaches seme with a deal. let uke be part of seme's gallery's exhibit and in return uke will sleep with him. lol am i remembering this right cuz it doesn't sound like there's anything for seme in this deal. seme decides to take it but kinda in bad faith cuz he had no intention of letting uke be in the exhibition. they sleep together a bunch and uke finds out about seme's messed up step-mother situation and horrible father. he stands up for seme in front of them and seme kinda somehow gets over his step-mother cuz he has uke now. uke also getting over his ex. things are honestly going really well. there's a bit of uke self-conflict cuz he's scared of trusting someone again after the shit with his ex. but he does and seme is so great to him. there's a last bit of misunderstanding angst where uke thinks seme never intended to let him exhibit, meaning seme never believed in him turning over a new leaf or in his abilities. but seme actually planned a solo exhibition for uke. uke is just relieved seme wasn't lying to him and still loves him. so sweet and that's the end. there's something about uke also not wanting seme to remember what happened between them 9 years ago. but idk, seme either remembered on his own and didn't care or he was told by the bartender who saw what happened and didn't care..... in the end uke was just worried about that for nothing.

uke and seme neighbours and friends since birth. seme manifests as alpha early on and is scared of omegas, hates them for some reason. uke hadn't manifested anything and assumed to be beta. but seme draws away from uke cuz seme likes uke and doesn't want to hurt uke. uke doesn't know and is just hurt. until like 5 years later or something he finds seme in rut in the school bathroom and takes care of him? and then they're friends again until last year of high school when uke manifests as omega. uke runs away cuz he doesn't want seme to hate him for being an omega. they don't meet for 5 years. now in uni they meet at start of year welcome party restaurant despite being in different departments. seme eager to start their friendship again cuz he's always liked uke. uke acting cagey cuz he still pretends to be a beta. another alpha likes uke and seme is jealous. being around 2 alphas, uke's heat comes. seme finds him in heat and takes him home and they do it. seme regrets it afterwards cuz he thinks he raped uke. but he did confess and uke was happy to do it. afterwards uke goes to confess to seme and he's so happy seme likes him. but seme does that dumb internal conflict shit. like saying he thinks uke's just swayed by pheromones and doesn't actually like him. so he rejects uke and says leave him alone for a month and he'll get over uke....... wtf but that doesn't happen and uke calls seme kinda drunk one night missing him and they make up really quicky...... they start dating for real and it's basically story done. we see them do a school festival together and things are going great with them. uke asks seme to move in and seme says yes and seme gives him a couple ring. fast forward another 5 years and they're both working and living together. they spend seme's rut together and uke gets pregnant. then uke proposes to seme for marriage and seme ofc is happy crying and he takes out the rings he prepared but didn't have the chance to ask first. it's alright, but so many stereotypical korean relationship tropes. like the seme being kinda a puppy but possessive. uke hurting during sex but the one more in charge of the relationship, kinda cold sometimes. and them touchy feeling and showing off the relationship to everyone. ugh so many uni manhwas do the same shits when the couple get together.

really cute, but sooo rushed. each chapter is like spanning a year?? so we only get one snapshot of them in a year and next chap a whole fucking year passed and some new shit suddenly happens out of nowhere...... uke likes seme since seme helped him from some bullies. he tries for the same high school as seme. they meet on exam day and talk a little and uke says his goal in high school is to confess to his crush and seme is like cool, i wanna be popular and get girls too. hope u succeed. they get into the same school and then seme starts suspecting uke is the guy he met during the entrance exam despite both looking super hot and different now. uke confirms it's him and that yes seme is the guy uke was talking about confessing to and he straight up says he likes seme. seme is cool with it and asks to go out and ofc uke accepts. then they are dating and everything's sweet. seme wants to move to next step after kissing but uke is kinda shy. they kinda almost progress to more, but seme decides to hold back and backs off. uke interprets it wrong like seme thinks it's gross with a guy. he asks seme what seme likes about him and seme is stunned into silence. also for some reason seme thinks uke only likes him cuz he used to play baseball and doesn't like his current self...... so dumb this misunderstanding and nobody saying fucking nothing to each other....... so then they fucking break up after dating 1 year, though we only saw that little bit of them kissing and almost doing it........... then apparently they spend 3rd year still friends but nobody fucking saying anything about the breakup??????? wtf. then they graduate and on graduation day seme takes uke's tie. uke obviously still feels some type of way about seme too, but nobody fucking saying shit. then in uni they fucking meet again and seme gives back uke's tie. then seme confesses and says he still likes uke. uke is relieved and asks to go out. a cute reversal of their confession before. and then we see them going to uke's house and fucking immediately. bruh the pacing of this story is all over the place........................ we really needed it to slow the fuck down so we could get more connected with the characters and their feelings and rationales for their actions.

one word to describe this story is RUSHED. everything is so fucking rushed like shit that apparently takes months happens in the span of 2 chapters wtfffff and so wild how fast things happen i'm getting fucking whiplash. seme changed personality on a dime....... impressive display of mpreg..... i literally wonder if this is just some mpreg sex fetish story......... uke's got the big belly and lactating nipples while they're having sex.... such a dumb story and bad art... seme needs a child in order for his grandma to let him inherit company. he happens across uke who has incredible compatibility with him, 99.99% apparently. which means chances are high they can have a child together. he pursues uke while thinking uke is beneath him..... uke falls in love though and is super pure and sweet. then seme shows true colours cuz he can't wait for uke to make him a baby... uke resists at first but signs a contract for money and he still kinda likes seme. but then seme gets impatient for the baby and makes uke eat some illegal meds to induce heat. uke gets into heat and they fuck despite uke not fully wanting it and saying it hurts so much. then seme starts knotting but he doesn't want to with uke who is so beneath him, so he forcefully pulls his knot out and runs off. uke is so fucking pitiful and sad curled up in pain on the bed afterwards. he decides to run away. he's always liked survival shows so he does pretty well. he hears news of seme's engagement to daughter of another wealthy family and collapses. seme brings uke to the hospital having finally found him. but then uke runs off to the roof and gets into a helicopter to get away. LITERALLY WTF WHEN DID HE FUCKING PLAN FOR A HELICOPTER TO PICK HIM UP WTFFFFFF. then it's months and months of seme searching before finding uke again. this time his whole personality has changed and he's so sorry for it all and wanting to make amends. uke tells him he's pregnant and seme doesn't care about baby, just uke. even suggesting uke can terminate the baby if he wants. anyway ofc uke doesn't terminate and they grow closer as uke is living with seme again while pregnant. they end up having sex again and somehow that grows their relationship even more..... every fucking time they fuck before even kissing.... like no relationship development, then sex, and suddenly they love each other.... then they have the baby and we see a lot of scenes of them raising the baby until it's a kid. they take time together despite having the baby now and even get married. lots of gratuitous family scenes at the end.

confusing but cute. seme used to work at uke's house when uke was in high school. uke started liking him cuz his parents were never around. then news broke seme was uke's father's ghost writer. they had to leave town and moved to countryside. uke confessed but ofc seme said no cuz big age gap. now 10 years later or something. uke found seme a couple years ago and seme's still living at his old house, renting it from uke's parents. seme is a writer now. uke has been doing chores for seme and he still likes seme. seme likes him too but idk what's stopping seme..... he gets kinda drunk and fucks uke. then pretends he doesn't remember. but then he confesses everything in the end???????? i don't fucking know what is going on. but the last chapter where they're together now is sweet.

really sweet relationship between seme and uke. love how naturally they fall in love. but it's left me with questions about what exactly happened between them that made them separate during high school. basically they are high school classmates and both like writing. seme's mom and dad are both famous in field of literature so he has big shoes to fill. during a writing contest he plagiarizes an idea he got from someone else and turns out much later it was uke's idea he plagiarized. he didn't know either for so long. and he wanted someone to join his literature club, so he recruited uke who was quiet and kept to himself cuz he had family and financial problems. sad poor uke stereotype with puppy sunny rich family seme. anyway they get closer through the club and both obviously like each other and uke is receptive to seme's advances, always. i really like that uke never pushes him away when seme kisses him and sometimes uke says things to get uke to come to him. like this uke is not shy for affection and saying what he wants. but then later uke shows seme a page from is diary and seme realizes it's somehow the story idea he plagiarized for a contest way back. he got first place and uke got second. he feels guilty cuz uke could have really used the prize money and now he feels bad knowing he did this to uke. so i guess he stopped talking to uke after that. and ignores uke when uke asks what's wrong. and 7 years go by. one day uke shows up at seme's workplace where he works at his mom's publishing company. they kinda act like nothing happened in the past and start rekindling their relationship again. uke is fine putting it behind them but seme feels so guilty still. this time uke actually makes the first move to kiss seme cuz he can tell still likes him and he likes seme too. and uke still having family problems cuz his family needs money and his mom later falls sick. seme has quit writing but uke wants to write and seme supports him being his editor. uke almost quits writing again after his mom needs surgery, but seme supports him and i guess they get past their past issues together by being together during uke's time of vulnerability with his mom sick. idk i'm so confused by this ending. feels like some shit is not explained and idk what happened between them back then and now...... like a lot of the story is told through flashback which is cool and works good most of the time, but i am getting confused wtf happened. and story ends with 1 year later uke has published his own book with seme's help. and they are still together but not living together cuz uke wants to take care of his mom until she retires. this was a best level story until the last 10 chapters left me fucking confused. and i hate these angsty ukes with sad backstories. this one is honestly not bad cuz he's a strong dude who doesn't make it his whole life and still enjoys time with seme despite his family's struggles. not throwing himself a pity party. it's realistic. but still ugh in the end too much sad shit with his mom getting sick too......
