❀'s manga / #reencounter(14)

rushed ending and seme is fucking confusing. i think the story got axed and author couldn't tie up loose ends. both are actors and were washed up on a deserted island togeter 3 years ago. seme moved by uke saving him selflessly and putting himself in danger. they start having sex for acting practice...... wtf lol but somehow they fall in love. then they get rescued and keep dating in secret in korea cuz seme is big time actor. but then for reasons unknown to uke, seme starts acting really distant and uke is upset and breaks up with seme. but apparently seme was only doing that for uke's protection?? who knows... it's just said this at the end.... but now they are cast together in a gay romance movie. apparently seme pulled strings to get uke casted. they have sex again for practice. honestly uke is so forgiving to seme.... i kind of like it but also he's just too easy.... uke is upset when he finds out seme helped him get casted. but somehow easily forgives him when seme comes to him. then seme asks for redemption by taking uke on a trip again, this time to seme's villa somewhere. during then they make up easily and then when they return to the city they come out to the public about dating.... story is all over the place, but i guess it's nice for some sex and nonsense.

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

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.

good story. lots of drama and the seme is a fucking dumbass non-communicator a lot of the time. also author goes too deep and artsy with the text so it's sometimes hard to understand unless you're really paying attention to the metaphors...... but overall i liked it. especially liked the uke who is tough but also gets hurt easily and loves easily. very messy and real characters. great art too, especially as the chapters progressed. basically seme and uke had a one night stand in portugal years ago. now they meet on a food competition and uke is one of the judges. uke remembers it first. then seme remembers later. they somehow slowly fall into a relationship but neither calls it that. then seme's father falls super ill or something idk i forgot what happened but he is distracted and is eliminated from the competition. after that he fucking disappears for like 2 years. taking care of his terminal father and his mom who is newly diagnosed with cancer. then they meet again by chance and seme says he missed uke and wants to be together again. uke pretty quickly accepts cuz he always liked uke and they had said to each other that seme will be uke's last man. but uke also doesn't want to go too fast cuz he's doubting seme too. and he's saying maybe his last means he'll just never date again. but seme keeps acting sweet by making him food and stuff and uke is easily worn down. they are together again. some last bit drama with seme's job being a shit and seme is again spiralling into depression but this time he fucking stands up for himself and quits the abusive job. they didn't exchange rings, but uke got himself a ring while they were apart and then seme got himself the same ring lol. ugh seme is a weak fucker, sometimes i don't know what uke sees in him.... but he can be sweet too. i guess this is reality, but fuck man seme is just hit with one issue after another in his life. like abused and hard life all the way through.
