mangasaeki's manga / #slice of life(108)

I'm sorry but I find the uke suuuuuuuper annoying... I only made it to ch. 6 before having to give up because I was so bored. If you like fluff, hardly any plot, and no build up to sex scenes, this is the manga for you. Happy reading.

Honestly, Matsumi is kind of annoying and super selfish, but I enjoyed Koki a lot. Very dog-like but not in cringe type of way, just very enthusiastic. The random oneshot had great potential but I felt like it should've been longer so it would feel a little less rushed. Fun read overall.

the different perspectives in the manga are interesting to say the least. However, there clearly isn't any explanation on how male pregnancy works in this universe... It was an interesting read nonetheless.

This was really refreshing in the sense that the character's personalities were so calm and collected. There was no major drama either which was unusual as well, but it was portrayed in a comfortable and sincere way. I really liked the amount of time the characters didn't spend together. Typically, even in real life, people would meet up more often than they did but because of their personalities and having their priorities/morals in check, they just came to each other when they had the time or it was necessary. Both characters, despite the seme being more antsy, were very mature and had a certain dynamic that was spicy but sweet. The art is stunning, of course. Smut was full of chemistry. I personally don't like stories from a brothel perspective, so I can't say I loved that plot point but either way, I very much enjoyed this read.

Tbh, it was really meme-able. Anyway, slight dubcon but a cute read!

This was a great drama. 100% shounen ai, but I'm glad that was the case given their age difference. The way their relationship built over time and the twists in the narrative were really well thought out and executed. Definitely a bit of a tear-jerker, but gentle as well. It was nice that both characters had tragedies of their own to work through, and go through the motions of acceptance. I'm glad that Kouki was able to find peace in the end considering that he allowed himself to suffer for as long as he did. I really liked how realistic the connection to society was, too. There was no majorly satisfying revenge, just the reality of moving on and coming to terms that even though one could have intense feelings of revenge, doesn't mean you should act upon them. Great read. I seriously enjoyed the story.
