❀'s manga / #sex friends first(417)

one of the hottest series ever. fell in love with the first chapter and slowly waiting for the rest to come....

can't understand what's happening at the end and in the extra stories......nice concept but super confusing writing.....is it the translation's problem or is it trying to be too deep....

top doesn't get erect until he loves the bottom. very focused on sex. seme has reputation for going out with anyone who asks. uke sees seme being dumped so he asks seme out. uke is very loose and wants to get seme's dick. seme doesn't get hard despite uke blowing and trying. but seme still pleasures uke. then he likes uke for real after some stuff and he does get hard. uke decides to formally end it with all his fuck buddies from before.........which wtf who even does that just ghost them...... and some random dude starts threatening uke to expose his old sex photos to seme......uke is worried but ofc when he gets exposed seme is cool with it and french kisses him in front of the other dude.

guy gets amnesia from falling billboard accident. falls in love with his lover again because he's super sexually attracted to him. teared up when he fell in love and said 'i love you' again. very cute and engaging overall, but too much reliance on sex to fall in love?! and sad he never regains memories.

interesting concept but isn't played out so well. a little funny.

kind of confusing at times from poor translations and need to read the prequels of other couples. but cute overall and felt pangs of misunderstanding angst. nice art.

pretty interesting concept/setup. confusing at times with the dialogue, not sure if due to too much casual chatter style or poor translation. this is marked as complete on mangaupdates.

guy takes care of sister's child but has no money and is helped out by his childhood friend who comes to live with them in exchange for food. they used to jerk off together and do that again, but now they're actually serious about liking each other too. hard to say how feelings developed, felt more like rekindling high school affections. also includes another story of creepy lab guy who loves collecting cell samples of another guy to look at under microscope and jerk off. didn't read it too closely.

Perfect pacing, tear wrenching, honestly this story took me by surprise with its depth and beauty and realness. A distinct difference from manga, just felt more real and raw?? The storytelling was refreshing after only reading Japanese yaoi for so long. I wonder if this will open the door for more manhwa since I was a little prejudiced before. Just wish there was more about their future together!! Could really relate to both characters and their backgrounds were a bit tragic as typical, but again, still realistic. Lots of amazing character development and cute couple moments. Perhaps because manga doesn't include so many sweet in between moments like a hug/kiss except at critical points? or this story was long so had space to flesh those things out. hmm...

confused about their feelings and why things happened. a lot of things happened but really not clear why the guy was okay with sex and if they even fucked the first time or just fingering... things aren't really clear, they just happen... but nice art. overall nothing is explained well and the other characters' reactions to things are kind of weird? Like the pink hair guy should know he's talking about hyo-in but seems like he doesn't, or just has no reaction...idk would not read again
