❀'s manga / #slow to sex(156)

i think there's a second volume..........and it's not complete lol shit. left off on chap 8. first volume was very fluffy and just them both liking each other and dancing around the getting together part. seme misunderstands uke a lot and keeps thinking he's got no chance with uke without even trying anything lol. basically seme gets dumped for being too friendly and happens across uke in a cafe. uke is nice to him, seme just falls in love. and then seme turns out to be the student teacher for uke's class in high school. they go to an amusement park and have a sports festival and stuff like this, getting them closer. this translation uses a lot of english slang to sound more english........so cringe. and there is an established other couple that plays kind of a big role in this story, encouraging seme a lot and they're gay so they're like an example. second volume, seme is in uni and uke is working as a teacher. facing some more problems as seme jumps to conclusions about uke seeing other people. but uke is also super busy and not able to see seme as much. other couple still here giving good relationship advice.........everything feels so politically correct and positive in this story i'm feeling weird. like is it the translation or is this mangaka some leftist?? even mentioning how gay marriage is legal in some tokyo wards.

this mangaka only did the illustrations. no wonder it feels kinda different from her usual stuff. uke is considered a failure by family cuz he's not as good as his twin brother. he's going to a dorm high school to get away from family. there he meets seme who is his fav idol. seme takes a liking to him and always comes to his room. touching him and sleeping on his bed and people think uke is like his manager or mom taking care of seme. uke starts to really like seme, not just as an idol. but uke thinks seme likes his manager and the interactions with him are just somehow a publicity stunt thing. graduation is coming up and seme is a third year so uke thinks he'll never meet seme again after this. so uke ends up confessing and ofc seme already liked him too. seme has some orphan backstory.....not too relevant but uke was the first person he wanted to dote on or something like that. anyway, turns out seme didn't get enough credits cuz he was always out performing and stuff, so now they're in the same class for uke's third year and seme is repeating.

sweet story of two guys who've known each other since high school getting together like 10 years later. uke dumped by his fiance just before wedding. he goes to seme's bar and dogezas, asking for seme's hand in marriage. they've been friends since high school and uke's like you're my last hope. seme is kinda touched by the proposal and agrees to start dating. uke gives him his house key and tells seme to come over later. seme does and they have sex where seme fingers uke, but uke thinks they went all the way and uke's like oh it's pretty good lmao. seme realizes that uke is being bullied in his workplace cuz his ex works there and she made people have bad impression of him. to counter that, seme starts making super lavish lunches for uke. uke is super open and just tells people it's his bf who made it. they insult seme thinking it's ugly and stuff. seme goes to the office one day to bring uke's lunch and everyone gets jealous of how hot seme is lol. after that apparently the bullying gets better cuz everyone is okay with him being gay at the office?? and seme has his own little existential crisis where he realizes he's empty inside and has no desires or passions or anything. he just does thinks to be needed by others, that's why he took over a bar, for his friends to come visit him often. and he thinks he's using uke to fill his empty self to feel needed. but uke is like that's cool with me. and seme realizes he loves uke seriously. he kisses him and they go to have sex for real lol and uke finally realizes seme's penis is not small, just never put it in. very cute how uke actually super enjoyed having sex and asks for it again next morning! story spans about 6 months before finally getting together.

very cute story, they have sex but it's not explicit. they're 2nd year in high school and same class. seme has liked uke since uke helped pick up his wallet at entrance exam. he gets close to uke and they're being friendly. then a girl shows interest in seme and uke thinks he should put some distance to give seme a chance at a gf. but ofc seme didn't want that and they end up confessing and getting together. then things are going well and seme wants to take the next step but doesn't want to come on too strong. they're alone at uke's house and seme about to do it but sees uke hesitate and he leaves. uke just wanted to take a shower. misunderstanding only gets worse when he sees uke friendly with some other guys and seme gets jealous and forces a kiss on uke and ofc uke pushes him away cuz they're at school. finally they reconcile and seme apologizes and they do it at uke's house.

really great slow paced story. like the set up of both in unrequited loves with each other but not knowing it. in this case the seme's unknowing is really unknown even to himself until the last second lol. so they were friends in high school and uke's always liked seme. now they're 29. seme just went through his 3rd divorce. uke is a famous fortune teller. he comes to stay with uke and gets his fortune told. uke tells him he should try men lol just to make seme think of uke. seme bumps into a dude who helps him out next day and thinks he's fallen in love with that dude. uke starts kissing seme to help him see if he can really get used to men kissing him..............this part's wtf. well turns out dude is uke's editor for a magazine column. they start eating out together and drinking together, for seme to get to know editor. uke decides to be a real friend and butt out of the gatherings to give seme private time with editor. then seme finds out that editor and uke used to date. he gets so mad and rushes home to confront uke. is so mad uke never said anything even though seme always said about his relationships and uke always said to seme that he wasn't interested in relationships. uke gets mad back and confesses in heat of moment. seme leaves cuz he can't handle it i guess lol. next day seme is trying to think of what to say to uke when he gets a text from uke saying he still wants to be just friends like before. seme calls uke and is like wtf do u mean, how can we be like before and that he's coming over tonight to discuss in person. that afternoon, seme gets off work and sees uke with editor. editor knows about seme's feelings now and always knew uke liked seme, so he pretends to get real close to uke to make seme jealous. seme rushes over and grabs uke and they go home. at the bus stop, seme confesses he likes uke too. at first uke doesn't believe him but then seme explains how he's probably always liked uke since he always wanted to be uke's closest person and felt secure being that when uke wasn't dating anyone. that's why he reacted so strongly to knowing uke dated editor. anyway, they get together basically and in then they have a cute move in scene since seme was basically living there anyway and then they have sex after seme does research lol. cute extra of them going to hot spring.

interconnected stories of two couples involving brothers from same family. so seme and uke become step bros through their parents' marriage. at first seme is upset at the new family but he quickly falls in love with older bro uke and accepts the family. seme's mom and new step-twins all know he likes uke and that's why he does a lot of skinship in the name of brotherly bonds lol. one day he sees uke go to a goukon and gets jealous. that night instead of the usual forehead goodnight kiss, he kisses uke on the lips. uke is naive and still thinks it's some brotherly things but it kinda ignites his feelings for seme. he goes to family for advice and they tell him it's pretty clear he's feeling romantic feelings. he's disappointed in himself for that and goes to tell seme they should stop the brotherly skinship because he's fallen in love. seme is shocked cuz he was just about to confess too lol and they get together quite happily. then uke researches about sex and he thought he was gonna top but he gets topped. second story is about the twin brother in this family. there's a dude who comes to the family's donut shop who likes the bro. shounen-ai story of tsundere bro and forthcoming seme dude who says he can tell the twins apart and that uke is unique from his sister.

they were childhood friends, but uke doesn't really remember seme. seme was a genius kid and kinda weird. he taught uke math and how to not mind being gay and proposed to uke before going off to usa. now he's back cuz he's been watching uke and saw uke is going out with random men to find a bf. uke tries to lie and say he wants a rich bf so seme isn't good, but turns out seme is rich cuz he sold off an IT company in usa. so they have a weekly date i guess and uke slowly comes to like seme. seme says no to sex and kissing until they get health testing and confirm their feelings for each other lol. bit of drama when uke falls in love with seme for real but seme still wants to give him money cuz he thinks that's what uke wants. well they resolve this and have sex.

this is a very sweet story. uke is a cat werebeast and seme is a dog. uke sees seme defend his sis against a stalker and uke thinks he's really cool. he starts approaching seme in cat form to cuddle with him a little. seme realizes the cat's scent is the same as uke and realizes it's him. then they slowly get to be better friends with seme cuddling uke's cat form and uke doing the same with seme's dog form. one night uke's sleeping over after drinking and seme can't resist kissing him, so he goes in. uke wakes up and runs off in his cat form. seme follows with uke's clothes and they end up back at uni where they first met. uke puts his clothes on and listens to seme confess and basically confesses back. confused why he ran off then.......... and afterwards they want to have sex but turn into their werebeast forms when too excited so they hold off a bit and go on some dates and get to know each other first. then they do have sex and it's all cute!

very cute overall. uke is kinda a dummy in that he's too exaggerated in his cluelessness. 5 stars for enjoyability and cuteness, but not much plot. each chapter kinda focuses on a different step in their relationship. first chapter they're already together and it's leading up to their first time having sex. then uke feels bad doing not much around the house so he's like trying to learn and seme is super kind telling him no need to push himself. then they want to make others know they're dating so they stop getting invited to goukons but don't want to say dating each other. but then uke sees seme be popular with women and he gets jealous so he agrees to tell others and it's kinda obvious to others that they're dating each other lol. then they have their first date, which is kinda weird like you've been dating many months and no dates............. and finally seme proposes almost as a joke, just suggesting marriage, but uke takes it seriously and buys them rings. seme thought maybe he was cheating cuz uke kept being away to work more part time jobs. and then we see a cute scene of them dressed up for the wedding and then being all formal to have sex that night lol.

SUPER GREAT STORY AND EVEN THE BIT OF SEX IS SUPER HOT. i'm not into uke's look, but otherwise everything's great. uke has a blog where he posts about his life and love as a gay high schooler. seme comes across it and realizes it's uke's blog. then he starts thinking uke likes their mutual friend ryuu so he tries to get them together and plan for them to hang out and stuff. one day on a train he sees uke get molested and goes to protect uke. but as uke runs off the train, he hears the molester say it's cuz uke has a public blog and was just asking to be molested???????? wtf this part i don't get at all........... like so fake. how rare is it to find the dude from the blog and then decide it's okay to molest him?? and seme didn't do anything about capturing the molester............ after that seme says uke should consider deleting the blog. uke mistakes this as seme playing with him the whole time like knowing his feelings but stringing him along. well next day seme is sick with a fever and uke comes to give him some drinks and stuff. i like how this misunderstanding didn't drag out and become a big deal. seme confesses and uke is like you're dumb i didn't like ryuu, i like you. and then uke accepts the confession and kisses seme. after that they're being all cute together and touching each other during summer vacation. honestly do not like how author gave uke some trauma of being molested in middle school by a teacher...........and this is the reason he was very touch averse before. well he gets over it quickly with seme and it's basically not a problem but author had to write it in...... then a dude from uke's middle school comes back to apologize for how he treated uke. he kinda gets in the way of their relationship a bit cuz he doesn't think seme is good enough. but uke is very sweet and stands up for his bf and the friend backs down easily and no drama here either. all good little troubles that don't get blown out of proportion. then seme tells uke they didn't actually have sex, they were just jerking off lol so they go to seme's house and do it right then. super hot sex. and in the extra uke is like pretty dumb about sex.........didn't even know what sex toys were and they had sex with him in handcuffs.
