EnBogreol's manga / #Smut(83)

Azusa, an omega, was getting bullied relentlessly back in middle school. Lucky for him though, he was saved by the cold alpha Kaede. Forever grateful for this act, Azusa has done his best to track down his saviour, whom he has since developed a huge crush on. However, Kaede is not eager to reciprocate. —- Art style is beautiful, story is meh. It’s omegaverse, so there’s pretty much garabteed to be some toxic elements somewhere, and here I’d say it’s the discrimination aspect, and also Azusa’s possessiveness. Kaede is douchy and mean, so I don’t like him much, and Azusa is kind of a creep. So yeah, the smuts pretty much the only reason I’m here lol. The second couple I don’t like at all. Hikaru seems like a fairly stereotypical “bottom” type, being childish, weak, dumb, and somewhat spoiled. Not my thing. Ren has a beautiful design, but the backstory about him assaulting Hikaru doesn’t sit right with me(like, I may not like Hikaru much, but RUN, that’s your rapist!!!!), especially since I’m not quite sure how old Hikaru was at the time of the assault... I mean, their entire storyline is: “Hey, I’m sorry I raped you, I’ve since trained my body so I’m not gonna rape you again, pls marry me lol” like what??????

Omegaverse yuri...!!! And it’s actually good too...!

Sosuke thought his life was going well, until his girlfriend dumps him out of the blue. Distraught, he goes to a random bar and drinks his sorrows away. There, he meets the bartender Tsukasa. After getting too wasted, Sosuke gets taken home with Tsukasa for the night, and things evolve in ways he didn’t expect. —- A recent favourite of mine. Firstly, the art style is gorgeous. Love the shading and attention to detail. The character designs themselves are also simple, but appealing. I also liked the story. It’s a simple plot, but it works fairly well. Just two people meeting by chance, and slowly getting closer as they realise their own loneliness. A small thing I appreciated was that Sousuke was pretty quick to just... accept that he has fallen for a dude. That’s pretty rare in BL that feature a “straight” character, since most of them keep being in denial about it. Also, I like how Tsukasa was open and honest about his thoughts and feelings at the end, instead of just moving on without saying anything; so communication. I also just really loved seeing a switch couple, specifically one where it seemed perfectly natural no matter which role either partly had. It was a little short in my opinion, and these two could be easily have kept attention for a couple more chapters, but I’m not really upset about it.
