EnBogreol's manga / #Possessive lover(13)

Itsumi is a high school student with an intimidating face and style that makes people think he is a violent delinquent. In reality, he is a kind and gentle person with a soft spot for cute things. Recently though, things have become strange for him, as he is constantly approached by the handsome, adored, perfect school president, Seima. Much to his shock, the latter refers to him as his “Cinderella” and then asks him out??? What is going on?! —- Itsumi is bae, the gap between his appearance and true nature is just so cute! I have such a soft spot for delinquent bottoms lol. Seima is an example of another favourite trope of mine: the perfect prince. I think he manages to reach a good balance between being princely and “perfect”, while also still feeling suitably human. Like, he’s not a flawless robot, seen for example when he is just as flustered as Itsumi when they are romantically or sexually intimate(which is pretty rare for “top” characters). And his interactions with Itsumi are pretty entertaining. My favourite was when he came to Itsumi’s aid during the confrontation with the student council/bullies uwu. The story felt a little short, but that’s probably just me having gotten attached and wanting more lol. The art is beautiful; love the style. The story itself was simple, but sweet. Nice overall, and something that I go back to every once in a while ^^

Yuuya keeps failing at getting a job. Frustrated and looking for change, he goes to get a tattoo. At the shop, he meets a flashy foreign-looking young man, named Atsushi. Having fallen in love at first sight, Atsushi manages to get Yuuya into his bed. He now hopes to be able to keep him there. —- This has a lot of things that I like. It also has a lot of things that I hate. I think that the puppy-love vibe coming from Atsushi is great; pining is my jam. That they got together as early as they did was something that surprised me, but pleasantly so. No beating around the bush, let’s live together! Yuuya’s design is also pretty cute imo. I also really liked how chill Atsushi’s “brother/friend” was. What I hated was Atsushi’s possessiveness and abusive behaviour. He tried to isolate Yuuya, have him be completely reliant on Atsushi for everything, and got extremely upset whenever Yuuya had to stay out a little later than normal. This seems to have been intended as at least mildly funny, but I don’t agree with that sentiment. This is not cute, it’s alarming. Their physical altercation did not help. I mean, BITCH, HE DEADASS CHOKED YOU...! I get that Atsushi is possessive because he was abandoned, and can’t bear the thought of going through that again, but I do t think that’s an excuse to choke your boyfriend????
