❀'s manga / #future progression(65)

fuck the ending killed me. uke moves to countryside and meets seme, a supernatural being of some sort that's living in the shrine nearby. he takes energy from uke by having sex with uke and that stops him from turning into a demon. but seme is worried uke will leave for the city again. and kinda gives up on life, turning more and more into a demon. uke senses this and doesn't want that to happen to seme, so he says he wants to stay here forever with seme. then they kiss and have sex and seme is fine again. we see uke opens up a small restaurant cafe in the mountains with seme. lives there all his life. and fucking the ending is uke has lied to old age and died. seme is still there taking care of their house. but he is suddenly disappearing... somehow uke's spirit comes back and they hug and vanish together. fucking cried fuck.

not as good as i remember it being. seme is kind of brash and off the charts wild.... i do like that he has a possessive streak. main confusing shit is the author keeps referencing her other manga i think?? so some parts are confusing and the timeline is weird sometimes cuz the chapters will jump back and forth and feel like a full chapter but it's just an extra from their past.... dumb miscommunication shit is the source of all problems in vol 1-3. where they are both thinking they're bad for each other and seme fucking breaks up with uke, supposedly for uke's own good.... then vol 4 has seme off to america to audition and uke visits him and they fake marriage at frank lloyd wright's glass chapel lol.

this is a really lovely story with a soft art style. seme saves uke from molester on train. they get close and uke starts to like seme. i think seme feels the same back and they kinda touch each other. after that uke gets jealous of other people in their class being close with seme. but seme really just likes uke. and they get together in the end. best part is the extras where we see them 10 years in the future still together and seme is now a lawyer! so proud of him lol

lots to say about this story, but a bit tired to say it all. very slow and realistic start. honestly the whole thing felt very realistic, but verging towards a bad way in season 2. seme turned into even more of a raging abusive asshole than he was at the start.... like first it's some enemies to lovers. i don't really understand why uke got so mad about the shit seme said, but this is like the only realistic anger i've seen in a story. very realistic way of talking and cursing at each other. good pacing throughout. but then after they get together, seme is some insecure clingy bitch. he goes off the study abroad, but then gets jealous at every little thing uke does. always thinks uke might have someone else. so fucking paranoid and comes back to korea out of nowhere just to try to catch uke in the act. but uke's not even cheating.... then he fucking tries to rape uke but thank god uke punches him so he backs down. but then uke is the one to apologize first...... and seme does apologize, but his behaviour does not really change much. i mean this is realistic... uke ain't my fav either and i think he can take seme. he's always been kinda a pushover, so maybe this is him being a pushover for seme. he thinks it's all cute when it's fucking scary. like why are they normalizing seme being this way... no commentary on how abusive it is..... and when they fuck seme is kinda raping uke, saying shit like i know what you like even though you're saying no. like wtf why did seme go down this route...... he didn't even seem like a bad guy in the beginning. kinda an asshole but then who isn't in uni... so idk. on one hand very realistic flawed characters. great pacing, slow and they only get together after knowing each other like a year. we see them in the future years out and through the 2.5 years that seme is studying abroad. i just can't really get over seme's rotton personality. i mean that's always been his thing... but it's literally gotten worse as time progresses so idk how to feel about it... another thing that annoys me is how much this author prizes good looks. she keeps harping on about how handsome they are and makes every character admire the main leads' looks. but i love their friend group in uni. so realistic. really great complement to the story of the main couple. argh i'm so conflicted about this. hoping for side stories.

this is complete on bato real tearjerker, especially since mc dies at the end, but i guess it's okay since he was just old.... basically they are researchers who can clone humans. uke likes seme. seme also likes him back but uke doesn't know. so when he hears seme is engaged, uke creates a clone of seme. he plans to take the clone away and live out the rest of his life with seme's clone. seme discovers uke's plan when he finds his clone. he switches places with the clone and goes with uke, while his clone marries his fiancee and takes over his job. the story is told as a flashback, a story the uke tells a little girl. AND FUCK WHEN UKE FINISHES THIS STORY HE FUCKING HAS A HEART ATTACK AND DIES WTFFFFFFFFFF WHY THE FUCK DID HE HAVE TO DIE FUCK. and seme wanted to tell uke he was the real seme before uke died, but didn't get the chance, but it's okay cuz seme finds a letter uke wrote to him about how uke realized it was the real him and how he loves him. fucking depressing. not enough romance and seeing them spending their years together.
