ALisAnimeLover's manga / #gay trauma(5)

The first story is a heartwarming story about 2 sex friends turning into lovers. Simple, but sweet. The second story is about childhood friends turning into lovers. The start was a bit bland, and as addressed by the story, the uke's response felt empty - after all, his response was simply brought about him not wanting to part, not necessarily because he likes the seme the same way. What I liked about this story is when the seme harassed the uke while he's asleep (kiss + light touch), and how he stopped in the middle and felt guilty about it until the big revelation that the uke was actually awake (+ the uke's revenge by kissing him while he's passed out drunk). Another likeable thing about this is how the uke actually felt scared when the seme kissed him while he's supposedly asleep - would my friend/bf actually stoop that low? Nice realistic touch. The third story is the weakest story in the anthology tbh. Whilst not bad, it's just... meh. The uke just fell in love with the seme's hands (lmao fetish), but I never actually felt how or why, just smashed onto your face. Likewise with the seme. You just know they like each other because they're in a bl. I'd actually appreciate the story even if they just stayed as friends.

The main story (ch 1 - 5 + 8) is nice, and has a nice pace. The teacher might seem a bit wishy-washy although you could totally relate to his feelings. I want more closure with regards to other related stuffs though - like how his ex will act (I mean, it's a bit illegal to have student x teacher, although at least they got together only after the student graduated). Aside from that, all's well. And I love the seme's friends, so chill. Esp that black-haired dude that already knew way before but never talked about it as sign of respect for his friend. Ahhh~ such nice friends. As for the extra stories, the first one is... too fast too furious. Uke got drunk, mistook seme as his ex, wakes up and realizes what he's done, pretends to forget. Seme learns a bit about uke's past + that the uke is gay (yay), makes a move. The end. Although it's nice that the seme already liked the uke way before, haha, kinda fresh. -- can't say anything about the uke tho. As for the second/last extra story... MAN, THAT WAS HEARTWRENCHING. "Let's make a fruit and move on" :((( Can you call it a happy ending if they don't end up together but are "happy" nonetheless? :(((

seriously though, wtf is wrong with the ex?! you darn cheat on him, leave him for a wife, then expect him to still be with you when you return? wtf? then there's also a random rape part where the ex saves him then attempts to rape him as well. wth and the story also kinda started with rape - although the seme didn't mind at all??? wth are with chill people anyway comment from N years ago (i.e. when I still read in MF): So... Beautiful... "you're you" "I'm me". Further than lgbt. Hate that the bastard didn't get what he deserved tho. And why a rape scene? :( 9 (despite all that) tho i upped my standards and now it's a 7/10
