Came for the Yaoi. Stayed.'s manga / #shounen ai(32)

Great fucking romance development. Love the resolution. Not rushed at all. Relationship felt comfortable to watch and the characters were lovely, without needing to seem super unique. Something felt like it was missing because of how short it was, but the story it is is the absolute best it could possibly have been made.

This author's just great. Seriously.

Honestly, first manga I've given a four to. They made the ugly characters look ugly and the handsome characters look handsome, so points for that. It went darker at some points and I honestly couldn't take it, but the way things always resolved was cute. I liked the length of the webtoon and the diversity of the couples, though I wish they'd have gone a bit deeper on the fatso and narcissist couple, they were my fave. But of course, we got attatched to the main couple. The characters weren't entirely... fixed? Sure, people change, but the red-head main couple guy does a full 180 in personality and just shows us a completely different character a l o t. And though that gave him... /Kinda/ depth and "character developmment", I definitely think it could have been done better. But this manga isn't bad at all. Honestly only issue I had with it, that wasn't personal. Personally, I couldn't take a lot of the stuff they were showing about being bullied and the guy's backstories, haha..ha. But other than that, it was honestly awesome! It felt unique! The author had something they were personally exploring (it felt like) and that gave a great vibe! Though the characters felt a little inconsistent... I didn't mind! Because it was the only flaw, which also seemed like just a result of a personal story-telling style. Not a five, because though it was good and definitely hit in me in some nice spots, it didn't "Wow~~ Holy hell~<3" me. It was great for absolutely everything, which is why I gave it what I did, without it hitting exactly home for me. I could see it was honestly good, with just enough gay and fun and solving personal shit to satisfy me, without really giving me a personaly connestion to it. But probably wouldn't re-read it. Unless.... Hey! Future me!!! If you want to re-read, just KEEP IN MIND!!!! EVERYTHING! A L W A Y S!! Turns out FINE!!!! As it does in life ;) Just trust that you'll be fine with this one. And I cannot STRESS how much I love the diversity in the couples and character developments! It was awesome, they're definitely something to look forward to! Good luck, sis!!

So. Much. Consent. Amazing. I SWEAR THIS SHOULD BE DONE SO MUCH MORE!!! Also, definitely recomend it to be a re-read, after it's been forgotten a bit, though. Because it's very mellow for a yaoi manga. Also, don't come here for the smut. Barely anything shown and always cuts off, but it wasn't the focus-point of this anyway, so I don't mind. No huge twists in the end, no massive concerns, no over-blown misunderstandings, it's amazing. It did gt a little frustrating at FIRST!! But no pushiness that was over the top. The Seme was going after the Uke at the beginning, pinning after them and the Uke was clearly alright with it, though a little annoyingly quiet and reserved about their thoughts. And the Uke Seme thing! Neither felt like they were overpowering the other here!! At ANY point!!!! I loved this. A three, because it was O K A Y!! Look, I loved the sweetness and mellowness of this. Honestly, I am so goddamn gratefull for the opportunity to appreciate the sweetness of a relationship without overt drama T_T T_T Loved it. But there was absolutely nothing there to hook me up in drama or passion. I liked this because it wasn't intense at a time when my own mind feels overpowering, so that was just nice.

Umm, feels like they didn't go deep enough with... anything. Cute! Oh, hell yeah, cute. But: No sex, When the lover's protective, it's shown in this light-hearted way, (which is fine! But was just another thing not seriously done.) the "bad guy" doesn't seem like a bad guy (again! Which is fine!! But it seemed they wanted to make him feel like an actual bad guy). Romance was cute, with when the misunderstandings were resolved, it being awkward but not that bad. Second couple... wasn't even a couple yet. Which isn't a bad idea for a webtoon tbh, not bad at all. But it was just executed in a way which seems half-assed to me now. And though I'm shitting on it this much, I'll be real, it never felt like a bad manhwa. I wouldn't care to re-read it again, but hey. If you do, no problems, /really/, it'll just feel very "mid", as Joey would say XD.

Pretty basic plot, now that I think about it. But beautiful. I felt it and loved this soooo much T_T I loved how the bittersweetness was done! It was just right! They didn't go a lot into details and logistics, but I didn't mind that much, since the futire world wasn't much of the focal point, and the feeling of being a stranger in your own world was carried across anyway. The android was... Good. Great. Lovely portrayal, actually. Just fine. The MC was a biiiit annoying at first, but honestly not a horrible guy. He fell in love and it showed when he did. Their romance felt a little awkward, but I loved it, and not in the bad way. I actually just found it after not remembering the name or anything, so I'm very happy about finding it again. It did well as a re-read for me now, and it definitely will again later. But you need to be willing to go through the wringer for bittersweet tears, sooo... Be prepared XDXD Anyway. Much love. Feelings portrayed beautifully. Everything carried across the way it was meant to be, I believe. Maybe if I'm nitpicking, they could have made those last few characters feel more actually RELEVANT, since that doctor and cuboid just felt like they kinda came out of nowhere and we didn't ave any sort of conection to them. Also, as I mentioned before, the logistics and details of maybe how he could even afford to do all that should have been adressed just enough to comfort the reader that this wasn't all entirely impossible, made possible by plot. But again, those are nitpicks. I have no issues with this manga really, those are just things I thought could stand out as flaws if you cared. But good.

I need to re-read this again in a clearer state of mind to apreciate it properly.... But here I go. These characters had their little bit of hitches in their relationship before they started going out and it was given good screentime and a good portion of the story to feel relevant, without dragging it through mud and making it frustrating. So, good conflict, while keeping it with the "soft bl" vibe. Which is what the author intended! I didn't see anything unnecessary in this story really, with a lot of sweet moments. A LOT. And them falling for each other seemed to progress naturally and slowly, while giving just the right amount of sweet moments. Though MC DID fall a little fast, in my opinion, when it came to just feeling attracted. Not that that was a bad thing. I was just caught off guard. So I'd say apart form the very beginning, which felt a little (JUST A LITTLE) rushed to get to the romance (Though it would have been interesting to just jump in. That could be a good way to write a romance.... I should try it.) Anyway, it was good after that. Phenomenal, even. Loved it. Super super soft and sweet, apart from the rush in the beginning, everything went smoothly without feeling bland at all. The issues just felt a little "meh" to me, but that's a personal view on the world thing, I'd say. So yeah! I definitely need to re-read this again to feel the full potential of this! I feel like I missed it this time around because of my own head getting in the way. So my three star rating may change to a four some time

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~

You know when you read something and things are so awkwardly, ongoingly misunderstood that you feel uncomfortable? Well, yeah. It's a comedy but I can't believe I muscled my way through all of the misunderstandings, even while gritting my teeth XDXD I honestly loved this webtoon. It began by making me feel awkward, then laughing, then having me feel bad for laughing when things take a turn for worse, then finally, a wonderful resolution. Dealt with important topics and turned out heartwarming. rr

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.
