❀'s manga / #sex friends first(417)

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.

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.

tsundere uke. outgoing cool seme. really meh typical characters. they're both hot on campus. uke is cool beauty type and seme thinks uke keeps glaring at him, but uke is just checking him out cuz he's kinda uke's type. one night seme sees uke with some man on the street bothering uke. seme goes to save him by pretending he's uke's bf. they go to a hotel nearby to hide and then somehow have sex cuz uke says he never gets pleasure from sex and seme wants to prove him wrong or some shit idk. after that they keep meeting to have sex cuz they both liked it. not much talk about uke's weird sexual trauma anymore.... idk how this shit spanned 2 volumes....

uke starts working as seme's housekeeper. they somehow start liking each other real fast. uke has sad poor background and is addicted to sex. meh. too much stereotypical gender roles about uke being a good cook and having a sad life. and dashing handsome popular seme just randomly likes uke despite not liking women typically who throw themselves at him. and some dumb drama about both being afraid to move forward from being sex friends to a real relationship.

seme is an alient from outer space. uke is some poor dude working part time. they both have family issues and bond over that. i will say i like the realistic bodies in the art. but the story is meh. especially second season when uke is fucking dumb and takes in his deadbeat abusive father who keeps harming seme and literally fucking whacks him over the head with a golf club, which would have killed any regular person but nobody even fucking calls the cops on the mofo. fucking dumbass uke ruined in second season. also why the fuck do these korean authors love to end stories right after some big dumbass separation. like seme went to his home planet for 2 years then comes back and uke goes to military for 2 years..... wtf is the point of ending on a dumbshit note like this??

weird dom sub verse but they can switch dom/sub at will by the end.... then what is the point of dom/sub??? idfk.... in the start the dom likes to bottom and the sub likes to top. they meet each other and it's like finding their unicorn so they like each other a lot. but then somehow the dom switches to sub. and then in protecting uke from some other dudes, seme switches to a dom..... and then they switch back and forth over and over......

they were high school classmates who didn't particularly get along cuz seme was jealous of how outstanding uke was. uke has had a crush on seme since high school though. 10 years later meet again on the job. seme still kinda jealous of uke. they get drunk together and uke attacks seme lol and rides him. after that seme kinda starts liking uke and they have sex again and then seme is jealous of uke sleeping with other guys so he goes to talk to uke and they start dating for real. it's cute, but the translations are pretty bad and confusing in many places.

not a well written story, but it's cute and i like the outgoing straightforward uke who knows how to use his cuteness to get what he wants lol. uke is obsessed with vampires since young. he happens to see seme drinking someone's blood and wants seme to drink from him. they happen to be classmates. after that uke follows seme around after classes wanting to get to know him. seme breaks down and does let uke get close. he drinks from uke and this part gets confusing like his saliva makes uke aroused so then he also jerks uke off each time he drinks... and somehow they don't consider this a relationship but they keep doing this. there's some dumb drama about uke's friend who is a half-vampire and who likes uke but for some reason never told uke about his identity until now despite knowing uke loves vampires. the second season is all about this shit friend so i dropped it there.

this is a fucking masterpiece. like reading a jane austin romance, not that i've ever read one. this is fucking peak storytelling and art and i don't think anyone can get better.

weird kind of story. they are a comedy duo who had sex one drunken night and seme starts liking uke. seme pulls back to give uke space and for his own feeings to cool down but uke is sad cuz it's affecting their work. seme confesses he loves uke so they might as well split up. but uke says no they can be lovers and work. they'll just be lowers in the bedroom of the house and everywhere else they act like just coworkers. so they're basically sex friends. and uke catches feelings back.
