❀'s manga / #slow relationship(468)

No visible sex, just implied since it's shounen-ai. This was generally a great story in terms of pacing, but the uke is annoying cuz he's too tsundere and his fucking last line is he'll never tell the seme how much he loves him wtfffff it's a pretty well developed story tbh. there's a game they both play and seme is super good, one of the best players and he streams playing the game online, earning lots of money. one day he destroys uke's clan and humiliates uke in his video, so uke quits. some time later, uke's game friend persuades him to play again and this time he happens to get recruited into seme's clan. uke now wants revenge on seme for the defeat before. he's playing as a girl and wants to pretend to like seme and make seme fall for him and then dump seme. but seme knows what's up and doesn't believe uke is just an innocent newbie. he can tell uke has played before so seme is just messing with uke most of the time, but still unknowingly falling in love along the way. uke starts liking seme too, though he never fucking admits it. he gets a super powerful item from seme and sells it for literally 18k real dollars. but he feels bad so he quits the game and gives the money from the sale to seme. seme is so mad uke left, cuz he's got trauma related to being abandoned as a child by his parents. so he does everything to track uke down in real life. and he does, cuz the person who bought uke's item got his ID card to prove he's not a scam. after that seme visits uke's house and uke is freaked out. seme now wants revenge by making uke fall for him and plans to dump uke after that. but he literally falls for uke more and more and realizes his feelings. so now he just really wants uke to fall for him. and he kinda knows uke likes him and just needs more pushing. in the end they get together and everything is pretty well explained. the art of the uke improves a lot too cuz in the first chapter he literally looks like a background character, that's how ugly and to the role of nerdy gamer he is. also i don't think it's realistic uke is ony 24?? his job and life seem too mature for 24, but i guess being older doesn't make sense for gamers. seme is 21.

seme and uke both like same guy. but eventually seme realizes he likes uke more. uke has some complex about not showing his face cuz it's too girly, but actually he's just really pretty and seme helps him overcome that trauma.

hmm i can see the appeal of this one. uke is a very unique character. despite being serious and robotic, he's not shy and annoying type. he's open with his feelings and straightforward once he figures himself out. i do like that. but sometimes it takes him fucking forever to figure shit out and seme is just left waiting. a lot of internal conflict in this story. uke has a bad habit of fucking running off when he doesn't want to talk about something. real fucking annoying. also annoying is the one major problem that was apparently holding them back turned out not to be a problem at all cuz seme fucking changed his mind last minute for love...... lots of these kinds of made up problems that i hate. i wish there were some extras to wrap things up. seme has a twin we saw once and never again. he's from a rich family, but doesn't really like them except his grandfather whose the family head. ok so the story is they're both in uni. uke causes seme to fail a class cuz he tells the prof seme is faking attendance and didn't do anything for group project. so seme can't graduate. he finds out the person who did this is uke and vows to annoy uke to get revenge. he follows uke around and annoys uke by messing up his rigid daily routine. slowly uke realizes he kinda misses seme when he's not there to mess with him. so he proposes to seme to work together on this mobile game together. seme is a design student and uke is a computer science student. while working on the game they kinda both start liking each other. seme wasn't serious about it though cuz he's always dating and playing around before. he thought he would just fuck uke and lose interest and that's it. but somehow uke turned out to be someone special. he waits for uke to be ready to have sex. i do like that uke is open with expressing his feelings towards seme and makes a lot of the first moves. seme is respectful and always waiting for uke's consent lol. but then uke gets all up in his head about how seme is leaving for the states to study abroad after the semester is over and he graduates. he never thinks of them as a serious relationship. but then he realizes in his heart he can't live without seme cuz he is so depressed when seme is not around. so he's like in fucking turmoil over that, but running away from talking with seme even though seme gives him so many hints that if uke just asks him to stay or to be in a committed relationship, seme would be totally ok with it....... so their conflict about that gets so drawn out and kind of confusing cuz they're fighting and then somehow talking and smiling again...... but then uke remembers this shit and throws another tantrum...... in the end seme just takes action on his own cuz uke is pussy footing to the end. he moves out of his own apartment and forcefully tells uke he's moving in. uke fucking runs away again and seme follows him to the beach. they talk and seme says he's going to not go abroad. he'll just stay in korea and find a job and they can work on their game together more.... honestly i got annoyed with uke by the end cuz he was loosing some of his straightforwardedness that made him a refreshing uke. he lost his robotic refreshingness and became slightly too shy and emotional and not forthcoming about his wants. but still by the end he was initiating their kisses and i really liked that.

SOOO CUTE SOOO SWEET. love a dummy uke, especially with more of a stoic seme. this author is so good at showing relationship progression. uke liked this other guy and thought he liked cute small guys. but turns out he likes seme who is a huge guy lol. they are really there for each other again and again. they are in high school i guess but feels like much older.

pretty good story of relationship progression. they are members of different bands, seme is vocalist, uke is guitarist. they admire each other's music. slowly get to know each other cuz they also go to same school and take some same classes. then there is a performance with both bands and they collab on a song as well. along the way both kinda felt the other was interested, and they shared a kiss but seme pulled back cuz he wasn't sure uke was on board. he left and uke thought he got rejected. but when seme finds out that's how uke saw him leaving, seme makes it right by saying no way and then they go and fuck.

this is told in a flashback. 20 years ago seme picked up a cat from under his car. turns out the car is uke, who can transform between leopard and human. in 5 years he grows up to be like teenager sized. and he has his first heat, where he needs seme to jerk him off. after that he realizes he likes seme and confesses, but seme is not reciprocating cuz he thinks of uke like a kid. then there's some drama about uke actually being an angel and that's why he could turn into a leopard, but that was just part of his punishment. now his punishment is over and his bro is here to bring him back to heaven. but uke doesn't want to go. in the end he goes cuz seme thinks that's what's for the best. but then he hears that seme is dying cuz he got into some nasty gang stuff and uke off to save seme instead of going to heaven. he loses his wings as a result and turns human. then they get together and 15 years pass and we're back to the present where they're still together. honestly okay story, but the whole angel thing is so random.... seme also used to have a wife but she died. he lives with some guilt that he caused her death, but she just died in a car accident on the way to him.

read on mangadex for best translation. this is kinda messed up but kinda good lol. uke seems like a detached loner, but it's only cuz he's over compensating for his obsessive personality. when he likes someone, he reeeally likes them and that put his friend off before. seme is an attention whore and at first can't stand that uke is ignoring him despite them sharing a dorm room together. as uke pays more attention to seme, seme kinda gets bored of uke. uke eventually confesses his feelings to seme and seme thinks he will just play around with uke's feelings, but he actually really likes how uke is obsessed with him lol. i wish we had a bit more of them in a relationship for real, but it was still fun.

really well-written and well drawn, but just not really for me. not into these no-violence ukes lol but it didn't feel that annoying here. uke also too shy and quiet for me. his face also kinda uggo.... age gap of 7 years, older uke. uke and seme first met when uke was 13 and seme was 6. seme had come over from the town over cuz his father was the yakuza boss and got killed due to internal fighting. so he and his mom were lying low in uke's town. uke is friendly with seme and seme is happy to know uke and become friends. when it's time for seme to go back home, he asks uke to become a family with him in the future and uke cluelessly accepts, thinking like they will be brothers for life lol. 12 years later, seme is 18 and comes back to uke's town. he makes it obvious right away he wants to date uke and marry. uke is shy and not sure. there's some yakuza drama like the gang of this town not happy to see seme hanging around their territory. so they kidnap uke and then trash his shop when seme rescues uke and beats up the guys who kidnapped uke. here uke was like violence so bad, violence begets violence... seme feels bad and goes home for a while, but after talking to his uncle, the acting boss while seme is still young, he realizes he needs to go talk to the other gang boss. so he goes and talks and at first the other boss is rude and unreceptive to talking, but then his dad, who was the previous boss, comes out and says let bygones be bygones cuz he likes seme and his dad before. after that things seem to be solved and seme and uke go on a date. uke confesses his feelings for seme back. then we see them together happily and then having sex first time.

cute story about two high school seniors. seme is son of yakuza type family, but doesn't seem to want to get into the family business. uke is delinquent who recently transferred into seme's school and class. they sit next to each other. uke discovers seme's family background. kinda blackmails seme to tutor him to keep his mouth shut, but seme not threatened lol. he was more threatening to uke to make him keep his mouth shut. they start kissing as a way for seme to annoy uke. but then real feelings develop as they study together. just shounen-ai. kisses but nothing else. the art is cute too.

some "sensitive" dude who is basically picky about fine details and shy. and a more brute carefree kinda guy. sensitive uke is hairdresser, seme is a knife/scissor sharpener. they met cuz uke asked seme to sharpen his work scissors. then they were writing letters back and forth along with the scissors being sent back and forth. then uke went in person cuz he thought seme is a woman. was kinda scared off by seme's demeanour, but seme called him to sharpen scissors again and uke was too fucking weak to even say no. then they get kinda close and seme confesses. uke leaves without an answer but then does realize he likes seme back. i think they kiss but that's it.
