❀'s manga / #slow relationship(468)

long time crush (10 years) to lovers. uke has liked seme since high school. he confessed then but seme thought it was a joke and uke went along with that. now 10 years later they're still friends. seme finds out uke has been sleeping with a dude after seeing them go into a hotel together. that awakens seme's feelings for uke cuz he feels jealous. uke gets mad cuz he doesn't believe seme just suddenly likes him. seme goes to see uke again and apologize and all that and uke takes him in cuz seme has a fever. after that i guess they're kinda dating, but seme says he'll wait however long uke needs to fall for seme again. after a night of drinking seme gets turned on by uke and uke is willing to do it. he was worried seme wasn't attracted to a man's body, but knowing seme is attracted, uke feels more comfortable. they do it and turns out it was uke's first time doing penetrative sex lol. they are cute and happy i guess, but pretty superficial characters. uke quiet type. seme popular outgoing type.

it's honestly really cute. unlucky uke x lucky seme. background not well explained, but seme starts working at uke's workplace and living out of a hotel. uke invites seme to live with him cuz he finds his bad luck disappears when he's with seme. seme accepts but then uke's apartment burns in a fire, so they have to move in together somewhere else. they get really close spending so much time together and uke is pretty oblivious about seme's advances and stuff. seme also doesn't understand his own feelings of love. he thinks he just likes to tease uke. seme gets into some accidents cuz he's in love and absentminded lol. seme thinks his bad luck is spreading to seme after they jerked each other off and puts some distance. seme is sad about that and confronts uke. uke says it's not cuz he was disgusted by them jerking off, it's cuz he doesn't want the bad luck to hurt seme. uke disappears to his hometown to get some lucky charms. seme follows him and they have sex and confess.

two friends since middle school now in uni. seme likes uke, uke is that tsundere type but has actually liked seme since their first meeting. seme confessed and now want to stick close with uke all the time and uke is pushing him away cuz he doesn't trust it????????? hate these plots where uke is on guard for no fucking reason when he even likes seme... and ofc typical drunk plot device that makes uke reveal he likes seme too. next day he ignores all of seme's attempts to contact him. finds seme outside his door at 1AM after work and they finally talk it out. so boring.

poor uke and rich seme. uke starts job as escort cuz he's so poor. seme picks him but uke gets cold feet about it and wants to back out. seme is like no i paid so come here. and they end up cuddling and sleeping the night. after that seme learns about uke's poor circumstances and offers him a job to be a housekeeper at seme's house. uke accepts cuz the pay is good but he feels kinda guilty or something cuz he's getting paid a lot and the job is great. they at one point do handjobs but it's never brought up again..... but uke starts to actually be attracted to seme. he sees seme about to go to a hotel with another guy and stops seme, saying he'll be that guy's replacement and he'll do anything seme wants. turns out it was just a work colleague going to a hotel restaurant...... then seme confesses he knew about uke's situation since a long time ago. he would see uke working in a bunch of places and overheard uke accepting work as call boy, so that's why he picked up that first night. well in the end they get together for real, though uke is a huge tsundere and seme is kinda too perfect.

omg super cute, hoping it's not just a oneshot. this author really likes dummy ukes with piercings and gay trauma lol........ so uke is 2nd year, seme is 1st year who started being his dorm roommate. last year uke was exposed as gay and people started being so rude to him like touching him and saying he likes it and saying he's going after all the guys and shit like this. he started wearing a face mask to make it easier to pretend to be smiling when he's not. so seme starts living here and uke wants to help him out with his basketball training. he rides his bike and cheers on seme as he runs lol. and other cute shit like making him honey lemons for his match. when seme comes back, another dude sees them together and jokes that uke is assaulting seme cuz they're close. uke laughs it off and says no he doesn't like serious guys, he likes flashy party guys. seme doesn't go home that night and next day uke is feeling sad cuz he thinks it's over but he just has to accept it. but when he goes back to their room, seme is there dressed up in a bear outfit lol and has set up a little party for him. SO CUTE. and seme asks uke about his mask and then pushes him down and says about how he tried to be a party person to attract uke loool so adorable and we see uke's face and eye reveal and then seme goes in for a kiss AND IT'S OVER AHHHHHHHH big sjw energy about uke pushing back against the ppl who make jokes about him being gay and then a scene where he says he's glad he was born as he is and seme says he's glad uke was born gay too cuz that's why they can get together. somehow they never deal with seme's sexuality....... like he's gay too isn't he, why not treating seme like that?? only the fem bottom gets this treatment?? ugh anyway, other than that it's really cute how they get together for real and then have sex, moving slowly through each stage and deepening their relationship.

seme and uke are online friends, talking for 7 years and now both 24 in same uni but they didn't know it for some reason.... uke always talks to seme about his crush on another guy, pretending it's his friend's crush lol. seme has liked uke for a couple years now. one night they are calling each other and figure out it's each other they're seeing while on the call. uke still likes the other dude, but seme is quite open about being sweet to uke. for a bit looks like uke likes him back but then author does that shitty indecisive uke thing where uke suddenly won't admit his feelings despite blushing every fucking time he saw seme before and letting seme kiss him and shit????? after some dumb dragging they get together. then the dude that uke liked suddenly likes uke?? wtf is author doing, making him seem like an asshole at every step. cuz he was living with a guy who liked him and sleeping with that guy. then he got kinda interested in seme, and now he's into uke..... but then he goes crawling back to his roommate and they're the focus of the extras.... anyway, after seme and uke get together not much happens. they're sickeningly sweet in that korean way where uke is annoying but seme is overbearingly kind to him. some false drama about seme maybe meeting another man, turns out it's just the dude uke used to like asking seme for advice on how he can get back with the roommate dude.....

ESPER X GUIDE STORY. it's fine, good art and there's a lot of action and content packed into the chapters. it's not like just 10 images covering 10 minutes of time each chapter lol. seme is very much the controlling type and uke is always crying in pain during sex but apparently he likes it. that type of story. their first time was kinda bordering on rape but seme did stop himself. uke is a b-rank guide. seme is an s-rank esper who later develops ss-rank. anyway basically seme's the strongest. story is about them discovering their guiding compatibility and then defeating some villain that has it out for seme cuz he's jealous. seme is so powerful that most guides don't do well for him. he can't relax well even with their guiding. but by change he stops by uke's workplace at the guide centre and gets guiding from uke and loves it. he goes back for more and then recruits uke to work exclusively for him. uke accepts and then he follows seme on a mission to a dungeon, which is some kinda porta into another world idk. they battle monsters and gather supplies and shit like a video game. there they deepen their relationship and seme doesn't hesitate to come on strong with touching and kisses, all in the name of better guiding results. uke somehow just goes with it and thinks it's totally normal. they end up having sex too and then seme thinks they are dating while uke thought it was guiding. they clear up that misunderstanding and date for real. then the drama with the villain starts like he comes to attack their guide group in the dungeon and spread bad rumours about their guide group. when they leave the dungeon he tries to kill seme and uke. seme battles it out with him a bit but he doesn't stop. then seme ends up leaving him in the collapsing dungeon and gets out himself. but he's at his brink and desperately needs guiding. uke makes it just in time and guides him and seme's ok. then uke heals from his injuries too and basically happily ever after.

red string of fate story. partners tied by the red string have to be touching to get peaceful sleep. but if they actually love each other, this side effect will go away. small age gap 7 years. older seme 29. uke 22. seme is ceo of a startup he created. uke is studying compsci in uni. overall i liked the manipulative seme. uke was a little too meek for me, but seme carried the story. he scheming to get uke into his arms working and uke trusting him was just so devilishly good lol. uke likes his childhood friend. but then he finds out his fated ring is tied to his friend's big brother, seme. at first he doesn't tell seme, but when seme finds out, he demands they sleep together so they can both feel better. and turns out seme has liked uke for 3+ years, ever since uke was in high school and seme tutored him and his bro to get into uni. but seme saw uke kissing his bro in his sleep, so seme knew uke liked his bro and decided to give up on uke. but now knowing uke is his fated partner, he schemes all sorts of things to get close to uke. uke tries to get the ring off at first cuz he doesn't like seme and he thinks it must be a great inconvenience to seme to have the ring link to him. he contacts a dude who can manipulate these things, disconnecting and connecting them from ppl, but he doesn't go through with it cuz it means he would lose all memories of seme. then some drama starts where seme's bro starts liking uke..... or he's just jealous seme is getting close to uke so he confesses to uke too..... idk but it's a whole drama and kinda gross they are letting uke come between their brotherly relationship. uke at this point likes seme more than the bro, so does not accept the confession. he goes to think about it and keeps the bro waiting. in the end seme comes clean to uke about all his scheming so uke can know his true self and make a decision if he likes seme for real. uke is shocked and leaves for a couple days, but can't sleep well without seme. and seme is worried about uke, so helps uke sleep while staying awake himself. uke ofc finds out cuz he suddenly slept well and calls seme to get him to come back. seme ofc is a happy simp for uke and they reconcile. uke admits he loves seme, even all the crazy possessive sides of seme. typical manhwa uke.... and they are happily together!! apparently sex to come in the extras...

uke has liked since since he was 5 and moved in next door. seme is 12 years older. now they're adults, uke in uni. seme needs an illustrator at his company and uke applies and gets hired. while working for seme, they get closer. uke's always said he likes seme, but seme never considered it seriously until now. but now uke thinks he's really annoying seme and will try to get over seme. turns out seme doesn't want uke to get over him, so he says pretty much exactly that and they get together! overall a cute fluffy story.

just bad old school manhwa in terms of art and story. they fall in love for no reason. have conflicts for no reason. and in the end even the problems are not resolved lmao. uke has some ability to see smoke around others. usually the smoke is indicating where someone will get hurt. but seme has smoke all over his body. uke tries to warn seme that something bad might happen to him soon. but turns out seme is some producer of smoke that can transfer smoke to other ppl if they touch him and that's why he's so antisocial. uke touches him to test it and nothing happens. then they find out the more uke touches seme, the more seme's smoke seems to go away. seme asks uke to move in with him and uke agrees. they sleep together at night holding hands and seme's smoke is a lot lighter. he can actually interact with other ppl a small amount now. somewhere along the line they fell in love with each other and confess to each other quite easily. then another dude, uke's childhood friend, shows up and he likes uke so he tries to separate uke and seme without actually ever saying his own feelings directly. he tries to get uke to search for some other solution to help with seme's smoke. they end up contacting some cult that tries to say they know about this smoke thing. uke is unconvinced and doesn't investigate it further. but seme hears from the other dude that his solution with uke might be temporary and one day hurt uke, so seme decides to seek out the cult leader. turns out the cult leader had just made up the smoke shit after seeing seme like 15 years ago? anyway he tries to lock up seme for some reason but nobody can get close to seme without getting hurt..... uke comes to the rescue but seme passes out. then he avoids uke cuz he thinks he will hurt uke. uke chases seme to his house and finally they reconcile and kiss and that's the end.
