ALisAnimeLover's manga / #cohabitation(19)

Lol, for once, I love the MC's (Santa's) ex. He really just wants to be friends with Rintarou so he keeps bothering him

Ksksks, the amount of times I wanted to slap the uke

"now your problem is you're taking a walk everyday?" Pffft, if you only knew what the actual problem was, coworker-san

*spoiler-ish* I LOVE HOW THERE WAS NO CONTROVERSY WHEN WAKI CONFESSED ON LIVE TV. HUHUHU Edit: okay, I finally read vol 2 and apparently even though the confession got good feedback, they still denied the confession (ie Waki is not gay, Waki is single). Eh, classic tv politics ig. Now I feel bad for feeling happy about it The mom still irks me. At some point, she shows qualities of a good and funny mom (like being overly nosy why Waki has a big specially-made lunch box and offering to eat dinner every now and then), but she's still overall a bad mom. If she ever shows up more in the story, I hope she gets more character development. And yeah, kinda weird that Waki and the mom were being shipped together because there's at least about 18 years age gap (actually maybe at least 9 if she's really young when she conceived Waki /j. She's probably at least 18 at the time since the flashbacks showed her to be a grownup and the story implied that she just chose her career over her child, nothing about regrets of conception because she's too young). Though tbh, from what I've seen irl, it's possible to have TV pairings with that kind of age gap (or even a bigger one), but it's not that famous. It only exists when the story (tv show, movie or whatever) calls for it. So it kinda feels like ukie being Waki's mom and co-host at the same time was just done so both plots of ~dating controversy~ and ~Waki backstory development~ can be squeezed into the same volume.

Ch1-4 is the title story "Whoa, I'm naked! Ah, but I'm wearing underwear!" Lmao. Also, I can't help but read the title as Teacup Boy Toy. Help Although the story seems a little absurd (no, not just a little... Also, unintentional pun lol), it's just a classic fairytale-style of story which has its own charm. Though the bad thing about the story is that it's too short to develop the characters and the non-existent romance - it's even worse than some Disney fairytales. ... Which leads to the second lead syndrome being too strong let's be honest, the ML didn't actually do anything except express interest in the MC because he's tiny and ~out of this world~. He wasn't shown to have interest in the MC as a person, unlike the second ML who's shown to care for the MC (though it could be as a genuine friend/brotherly figure, not much romantically). I would really love to see more stories of this type. And hopefully a longer one or a better-paced one. Ch5-8 is different story. This time about a pretty guy who got confessed to by another guy. To make the confessor stop from harassing him with daily confessions, they strike a deal to have a date once and if he's still not interested, the confessor will stop. Sadly, this story lacks the magic of the first story. Not to mention that the plot is very very very overused, and the story doesn't offer more than the trope. Ch9 is a one-shot about a longtime couple who got into domestic troubles due to the seme's increasing sloppiness. Ironically the best-paced story out of the three. While cliche like the 2nd story, its charm is that it's a perfect story for a one-shot. The character of the characters (erm, what is English), their relationship concerns, the resolution to their problem are all well established.

Uke grows up taller and tries to become seme, fufu~ I kinda feel like Keita didn't prepare Satoshi enough compared to how Satoshi prepared him, but I guess it's partially because of Satoshi himself. Also, dude. Stop calling your BF straight XD you've been together for three years XD I looooove how the story went on through the volumes. A true reversible couple (unlike others which only switch once), and a very loveable one at that. I'm happy everyone around them is understanding and reasonable (I kinda hate the rival though he did apologize so...). Honestly want a continuation. 2024 edit: ueueue there's a continuation and they get married waiting for the translation

The dad though Also I'm laughing too much at the 18+ censorship. First time seeing it lol If I had any complaints, it's the fact that nothing got settled between both characters and their families. Actually, I'm satisfied with Mari-chan's dad and their relationship. It showed how difficult it is for the dad to open up the truth, and how he knows his own mistakes. Though I do hope one day, Mari-chan learns the truth. Meanwhile... we're left in the dark about Satou and his mom's situation. Rather, we're pretty much left in the dark about everything about Satou since all we know is that he's a model, his mom is the agency president, they fought, and that's it.

Nah, that fujoshi ain't shipping real people. She just has a gaydar Damn corporate life though

It's always the side character in glasses who make the MC realize their feelings
