Maybeblue's manga / #Gloomy(22)

Gghdgukligergbk i loved this sm Chapters 5 and 5.5 are so damn perfect

I want to read more stories with straightforward and proactive main characters like Subaru. He's pretty much the opposite of the uke's stereotype if you think about it, and that's probably why so many people dislike him. Ukes are usually weak and socially awkward, they have no self esteem or sense of self-worth so they accept and forgive everything that the seme does to them while never imposing themselves and their opinions, they pour their heart in the relationship and obviously never do anything to wrong the other. Subaru instead is confident and comfortable with himself, and even if he's a pretty loose guy, he believes someday he'll find true love. When the day comes that he finally falls in love he chases after it head-on, doing everything he can to win the cold seme's heart. It's adorable that he's so earnest and carefree at the same time, and you can really tell he cares about the seme a lot too, so why is everyone bashing him in the comments? Everyone loves a toxic seme who sleeps around cause it's sooo romantic when someone popular is willing to wholeheartedly commit to a relationship and completely change his lifestyle for someone else, right? So why is it that when it's the uke doing it then he's a slut who doesn't deserve the good guy he's chasing, even tho he clearly treasures him more than anything? People are such hypocrites sometimes...

Last couple was the only likeable one. First story was not developed well enough to make you sympathyize (?) with the seme, there's really no wonder why everyone hates him, and even if the second story was overall cute it just wasn't interesting. Nonetheless Akio and Ryou's story stucks with you, I might have re-read it 3 or 4 times already. There must be some good to it
