Mimi's manga / #dropped(13)

I'm gonna make sure I stay away from anything with the tag "Omega verse" from now on. Not only was the characters and story tellings completely unlikable to me, this "Omega verse" mentality just rubs me the wrong way. It's really fucking disgusting and hard for me to read.

The only good thing about this one-shot was the art. The fact that it started with a rape scene that led into kinks and only kinks only made this bland and uncomfortable.

I couldn't really get into this enough to finish it. I never really liked this style of art either and the 1st story I had to force myself to read. Not sure if the other stories in this are better but I'm just not interested enough to check them out.

I'm not really here for threesomes but I wanted to put that aside because the art was cute... I couldn't really get past it. Update: Ok, so I'm looking at the tags and their is a trans character along with poly rep that I'm guessing happens eventually so that kinda makes me wanna pick this back up... kinda. I hate- I mean really really really really really hate love triangles with a burning passion. I also hate the gender bent/swap trope because they're always done for comedy or an excuse. BUT if the triangle becomes poly and the gender bent/swap shit is wrong and we’re actually dealing with a trans character…. maybe.

I had so much interest in the beginning but by the middle of chapter 3 I kinda just lost any interest. Maybe it was because of the bullshit vampire stuff or maybe I couldn't keep going after I found myself hating the writing of both chapters 1 and 2. Chapter 1 was, like fine but a lower grade kind of fine. But ch.2 literally took me more than 2 days to even want to finish. Not sure if the stories are any good. I was promised something "sad" but the only thing sad was how long it took me to drop this manga.

Oh MAN do I wanna scream. I really need a stressed facepalm emoji for books like these. First off, the obvious ear fetish isn't my thing but that's whatever. I can live with that. The student/teacher relationship isn't my thing. In fact, it has me on edge because I know anyone at any age can be a student and I was hoping the student(s) would be 20+ in uni... and I was wrong. The 3rd couple has a student who's a 2nd-year high schooler so he'd be a junior who's at least 17. I instantly skipped the rest of that chapter. Another thing I've noticed is the excuse of rape and abuse that's very similar to Junjo Romantica's romantica storyline and it makes me uncomfortable. "Rape to Lovers" is bullshit. Consistently people overstep the other's boundaries despite the other telling them to stop or expressing their anger. I'm tired of this just being overlooked and ok. I'm not even gonna touch the incest thing that pissed me off even more after finding out they're a trans character! Like, bless! You have a trans character! But for it to be the first BL story I've read to have a trans character and their story to involved incest killed me inside. I'm too old for this, it just screams Junjo and it makes me sigh so hard. There's so much wrong in these stories that I couldn't finish this fucking book. The only person with any sense in this manga was Ninose. Also, the use of the word "monopolize" makes me wanna punch a wall.

I'm sure this is a super cute story about two people growing old together. I'm sure this has really heartwarming scenes that would make me cry. But I did not know the age gap was so significant when they met. I don't really read descriptions, I like to go into these books mostly blind with only mangaupdate's tags (bs I don't trust this site) to guide me and, honestly, I wouldn't've touched it if I had known that was when they met. I'm already someone who doesn't like age gaps anyway, but I thought they were both mature adults at the time of meeting. That aside, though, I think the way dialogue is written where they wouldn't shut up about being old got old really quick. I completely understand that some people start to think about a lot of these things like the passage of time, the world around you changing, dying, figuring out what to do with that time since you're not working anymore, and so on. I get it but how they kept talking about it at the drop of a hat was a bit overdone. I wanted to keep truckin' but then I remembered the age gap thing that weirded me out so I'm good.

I'm both sad and disappointed. I was gonna update this with more but, really, nothing about this made me want to keep reading and I hate both the main characters.

Honestly, idk if I'm actually dropping this or if it's just on hold for me. Thought about picking it back up bc I miss it but at the same time I just don't know.

Another one I'm not sure if I'm dropping or if it's just on hold. I'm giving it the tag anyway.
