ALisAnimeLover's manga / #Actor(15)

cuteee. this was surprisingly wholesome. dudes fall in love during their one night stand, learns that they're co-workers, continues their relationship as sex friends and finally upping it as lovers

Ch 1-3 is the titular story. It's fine, not bad but not good either (lol, I'm remembering that genshin simp again that said that this just means it's bad fine, it's bad). As the manager/friend of Arihara said, he is naive. This makes it feel as if Arihara's love may not be the same as the MC's. Like seriously, all it has shown is Arihara feeling down because the MC suddenly ghosted him, staying away from him while looking hurt. Even for a friend, you'll feel bad if you know you made them feel bad. Basically another case of a manga being too short so you can't feel the romance. Ch 4 is a one-shot about an actor x a normal person. Too bad it's a one-shot, it has a potential. Ch 5 is about a guy with a hair fetish finding his ideal hair.

Lol, poor chairman, he won't ever see his great grandchildren from his own grandson and his grandson/secretary since they're both gay well, they could always adopt, but it's too early for Noble members to have children when they're still climbing the charts. Hmm, I kinda want to see more about Max. Ngl, I felt disappointed when the drama with Max started so suddenly (well, yeah it got hinted way before, but it seemed forgotten and suddenly returned to the story) and ended suddenly as well. That's a lot of suddenly. Lol. Simply put, there was no build-up at all. Another thing I'm sad about is that Leo, LB and Tarius didn't have a comeback together. Just LB and Tarius because they're the couple the arc was focusing on... But what about Leo? :( (and ngl, I still don't like Tarius after all that's happened)

I had to read the flashback chapter twice before I realized it was the teacher's past life I love how they made peace with their past lives. Their old nemesis became their friends and/or mentor. But I still would've loved to see more of the process of getting there instead of just a timeskip. I hope there's more in the author's Twitter.

I liked each character as themselves. Though in the story... Hrmmmmmm. Not so much. Suffers from being a short manga so the romance isn't well-built. The side couple is literally just an extra set of characters (it's just mentioned that they're a couple, but they're never shown together). The other alpha is just there to make some sort of progress to the romance, but it's too late since the readers were already slapped to the face multiple times that the main alpha doesn't want to get together with the mc.
