Came for the Yaoi. Stayed.'s manga / #cute(14)

This was... phenomenal XDXDXD Lol, the premise was the most yaoi thing ever, but it was excluding any rape. There was ONE scene which was dodgy, but it wasn't as horrible as it could have been so, yeah. Anyway, simple AF story. YP Uke realises Seme constantly horny and "helps a bro out" *facepalm(¬_¬ )* ANYWAY, it felt fun AF because of the meminess of this and how honestly caring they were (At SOME points) Plus! The tension in this thing was done M A S T E R F U L L Y ! ! ! I'm unsure if the author even knew what they were doing, lol, because it was the gauges that were doing all the work, but none-the-less, the gauge for the best friends added a perfect aspect of constant tension to the story, because we knew it was FULL and it was DANGEROUS, mixed with the fact we knew he was in love with YP and were waiting for it to be revealed, since it was pretty clear. Anyway, this was extremely straight-forward, it was SOOOO fun, but not unique or special in the slightest and I feel like the tension was done accidentally, so that's why it remains a three. But! It was jolly good fun, so nothing wrong with a reread when I want something just with a fun vibe, because that's exactly what this one has. Very good for a good mood, only reread if not looking for quality XD It's not really "funny" at all, or even "yaoi connoiseur" funny, it just had a few moments where I went "Now THAT would make an amaxing meme." But that's it. Fun!

This was ALSO an awkward comedy bl webtoon, but it wasn't as awkward as the first one XD It was almost as funny, though and all the misunderstandings were awesomely resolved. I am... So touched by the end of the story T^T It has a bitter, uncomfortable feeling the way everyone grew up in the end for me, but I GUESS I'M FINE XD Now, this focused on two couples. Originally there were four friends and one of them confessed to a dude, thinking it was gonna be that girl he likes, which becomes the first, surprisingly wholesome couple, while the second veered a little away from the awkward comedy drama, into serious, childhood friend drama (it wasn't too dark and unhealthy, though. They just threw a few punches and it was good ) Anyway, nothing was too hard to get through and only a few moments were awkward!! It took me half a day to read. Good fun. Laughed out loud a few times. Nice. Oh, also I live in LV, now. I read this over at Dzērbenes māja, while I was supposed to be finishing my maths work lolol... Anyway, good times. This manga was fun, it wasn't the BRIGHTEST vibe, but PRETTY DAMN BRIGHT!! so it was good for a fun mood. And that's what I had. No regrets, was definitely a good time, definitely should read again some time... hhmmm, maybe I really should reread that other, first awkward one sometime soon. I liked even the age-gap couple, so it was cool lololloooool XD Not rn, though. It's 1am rn... ANYWAY, good read, there were no rapey vibes, even with a few stolen kisses, so it was all cool. Clean of that. 100% clean of any rape. Only showing a point at one point?? Like, the childhood friend who was into his friend, pinned him against the wall and said with a pained expression "this is what I mean", but he didn't even kiss him and pretty much cried when the dude hugged him back. It wasn't bad. It was good. Both couples were great lolol, just had firmly different story vibes. One was comedy awkward. Other was drama. But that was it. Not much to say, I guess, I feel like a lot of what I've written here was just repeated or obvious. The story felt like it was planned out, so that was good, a few surprises I wouldn't have expected to go into, which felt like they came out of nowhere. Like the first serious antagonist, despite his past history with the boi. And the girl in the second half just felt... Frustrating, though she wasn't a bad guy even and that was made clear. They fit in a few tropes which appear quite a bit, is what I'm saying. And though the story itself was just.... Normally progressed by these surprises, like any other plot device would work, but now looking back, I do see it felt a bit unnatural. They could have made the drastic shifts work, if they had stuck with the "Oh my GOD and now THIS ridiculous thing happened because of/to/around our protagonist?!" but as I said, it moved away from this comedic style, into a more "No, look, story serious" style, which is totally cool!! But perhaps it should have been done better. I have a vague idea how, but that's for another time. Anyway, no smut, though a few impassioned confessions and arguments. (Not even the kisses were hot. I didn't notice the lack-of, though, because that really wasn't the focus.) Start was more lighthearted and the ending was bittersweet, until the very last scene, which was just plain adorable, I guess XD. Reread is a good idea, maybe right after the other awkward one XD Anyway, that's it. See ya in another wierd manga~

Sooooooo cuuuuute T_T Age gap was... Great. I loved the way these guys interacted. I feel like the old guy was... Fitting for his age? I couldn't have imagined him any other way? But he WAS a liiiitle too old The story was incredibly simple, there was barely anything there, but the story pretty much had nothing to do with "plot" XD So ain't no complaints. Old man was pretty shy about them until, like, the last chapter XD Only agreed to date MC in the 4th chapter, I think. I didn't mind. The romance wasn't built up too much, but it was the attraction that the MC had for Uke was blooming and shown throughout the whole story, so that was great. It could have been very easily annoying, actually, that the MC was interested but the Uke gave 0 fucks, but it wasn't like that. The uke was so smooth and kind, but not in an oblivious, Prince charming, way. More of a... "You're making me embarrassed..." and it was shown entirely genuinely. So that made it likeable. Also, the MC was nice the way he was into the Uke. No force. Polite and unabashedly desiring the Uke, so I liked it. It was this small story with not a lot going on, so if it had been longer, it would have felt like it was dragging on. No real complaints? But it could have been a little more interesting, I guess. Some quiet, complicated thing could have been involved, to make the story more packed. But that's only "if" you'd want it to be. The simplicity felt like a nice change.

Listen. Fuck this. I've already read up to Ch17 and I got this as a rec from KrisPNatz. But I didn't see it was ongoing!!!! So... Yeah. And dw, future me, I'm not that upset by it Also also, two couples so far, with the main one holding centre-stage.
