ironparameters's manga / #healthy relationship(4)

Ask Affection

Complete | Yoichi makina | 2019 released

- Heartbroken guy yeets himself into trash, piquing the interest of an ex-classmate (now av actor), who takes him to his house. Actor guy becomes infatuated with mr. heartbroken and they start an intimate relationship, but mr. heartbroken's past trauma presents a threat to their burgeoning feelings... - good! I liked this, especially because of the communication and the health of their relationship. No power imbalances, totally mutual. Why am I only giving it four stars, then? The premise is hurt/comfort, but while reading it I was kept on edge by the expectation that something was going to go wrong, that something would happen that would really trigger the comfort. In reality, it came in short waves (which is good and cool), but it felt sort of unsettling reading it because I thought actor guy was going to be a villain. Definitely good for repeat readthroughs, though.

(ch 7) - Dragon guy gets demoted to field work after helping to stop an incident, and he meets a human who has enhanced hearing. And then they were roommates (not literally). - Dragons AND crime??? Plus homoerotic tension between the two male leads, one of whom is a huge sweetheart??? Dang, it's pretty much perfect (5/5)
