bokutotiddies's manga / #Shounen Ai(93)

ahhhhhhhhh. this was so so SO refreshing. i genuinely felt like it summer here in february while reading this. i loved it more than i can write in words. god, it was so well written. im gonna speak on behalf of both this story, the doujinshin and the sequel here. such a wonderful read. probably the most healthy relationships ive ever read. even when i thought there might be a misunderstanding (bc there usually always is) there wasnt! even the so-called rivals were super sweet and well-meaning! there wasnt a single obstacle between them and thats how it should always be. it was just pure, healthy, wonderful fluff. they are so atune with each other and do anything to make the other one happy, even if its just by being completely honest with themselves. it makes me hope that i can find someone to feel this way with. i had butterflies so many times reading this. tbh i wanted some smut so bad by the end of this but i still love the affection between the two. it slightly makes me sad that watoru never really says 'i love you' straight up, but its true that he proves his feelings through his actions time and time again. i cannot wait to reread this one. i wished it would never end while reading too. 10/10.

halfway point - yo. the author of this story is so fucking mean. literally i just know that she lives to hurt reader's fucking feelings. i genuinely cannot keep reading this is hurting me. i have way too many fucking emotions and i hate everyone except for seth even tho i already fucking know hes the only one whos gonna get hurt in the end. this is bullshit. fuck sam bro. fuck him so much. i dont even feel anything towards him im not even interested in him whatsoever. his scenes w henry are so frustrating and make me angry ugh. he only likes being "needed" by henry its not actual love. he also put him thru so much that its ridiculous to expect him to still only have feelings for him after all this time. i think seth is kinda stupid for even getting involved in all of this mess KNOWING that henry isnt emotionally available and is still heavily confused abt his first love and persisting even after being rejected. this is so frustrating to read idk man i hate how this makes me feel but i guess i asked for angst and thats what i fucking got LOOOOL. chapter 50 - ive accepted defeat. whatever. i just hope sam redeems himself enough that i dont completely hate him. they better give seth a cute ass mans who actually DESERVES his love and sufficiently provides the same amount back. last chapter - im exhausted lol. i hated this entire experience. can say with absolute certainty that i would never ever even dream of rereading this. i hated it. it was a good story i guess and perhaps even maybe realistic in some sense but i hated it. we didnt even get to see seth move on in the epilogue. tho i desperately wished he would stop appearing only to get his heart broken. ugh what the fuck. i cried so hard. this was bullshit. they werent even a good pair (probably the most realistic part) and til the end they had such terrible chemistry. i havent liked sam since like the 5th chapter. i still despise him now. idk man i wanna sleep this story off it was so annoying. there were SO many points that i almost quit but i held it together in the hopes that seth would somehow find happiness. i couldnt have been more wrong lol.

WHAT THE HELLLLL. i want more :,,,,,,) wHY ARE THERE SO MANY THINGS THEY LEFT OPENENDED?? first of all did my boys FUCK bc i really truly want to know. ik there was a heavy makeout sesh in their seoul apartment but like... they were clothed. TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW. ALSO sOB theyre husbands!!! <3 so cute UGH. but also why did heesu have to go to the military at such a crucial time in their relationship damn that must be a nightmare irl. also THE SECOND COUPLE? THAT CLIFFHANGER? RU KIDDING ME. nah but like honestly i think their breakup was inevitable and definitely good for hansoo, as his life literally revolved around his bae and to an unhealthy degree. but like damn i didnt think they would end it /completely/ openended jeez. theyre kind of a toxic couple tho. i dont really like either of them individually or as a pair tbfh. now heesu and seungwon on the other hand, ARE PERFECTION AND THE MOST ADORABLE BBS EVER. i LIVE for them and theyre so blissfully in love its great. storywise - pacing was great. idk why but this one took me a really really long time to read and idk if its bc i just spent a lot of time carefully relishing it or what but ive spent a full day reading this. the relationship between h and s was def slow burn but it was fun to see them pining for e/o and it was really rewarding when they finally confessed and started going out. even their central conflict was a really cute one and harmless. i came into this thinking chanyoung was gonna be like more pivotal than he actually was, especially bc the entire first chapter was literally just abt him, but im glad he kinda faded away at some point. i just realized we didnt even really get a scene w chanyoung even at their graduation, showing how little he really meant to heesu towards the end. seungwon is actually the perfect bf that every person dreams for. hes one of my favourite tops ive ever read in anything so far and i want one of my own. speaking of tops, damn i wish we got some smut. its fine i dont NEED it but ... damn yall gon leave me blue balled like this? anyways i knew this was gonna be good heading into it but i liked it more than i thought i would. 9/10 easily. idk if its a reread but its sweet enough to pick up when ive forgotten the plot maybe.

sob, so cute! this is a comment on both the first one and this sequel. i loved the premise so much, such a cute idea! the first one was better than this one but i mean we finally got a seggs scene so who am i to complain. sou is literally so beautiful i love him and hes an actual cinnamon roll despite the fact that he can fuck a bitch up. sob i wish there was more :,) i really enjoyed seeing them gradually get along, truly enemies to lovers, tho sou was a reluctant enemy LOL

i LOVED this. i loved the second part more than the first bc of the perfect way they overcame their hurdles together. i was filled w some anxiety for the first few chapters bc i was sure that a huge fight would break out and theyd have issues, but it was literally just them trying to tell e/o how much they truly liked one another and if thats not the cutest thing i dont know what is. i really enjoyed mitsuomi's character development thruout and it was precious to see him come to the realization that labels arent needed for love. i was hoping we would get to see them adopt a bb, which i think they def will, since yamato is adopted too. speaking of, thats actually smth ive never seen in bl yet, but really wanna bc like? ofc a gay couple would adopt after settling down? anyways i liked this way more than i was expecting. i really like this relationship dynamic too; exuberant but somewhat dense seme that is loved by everyone and the misunderstood but equally kind uke that falls in love first with the seme's positivity. ugh good shit, good shit. 9/10

im gonna choose to ignore 8.1s existence and i barely skimmed over it too so lets just assume that the events that took place when they were like in their 50s okay? its all good. anyways! this was a sad read. tbh after the first part i was kinda like meh abt them as a couple, maybe bc of how quickly they had gotten together? idk but i wasnt feeling it that much. but once some angst was added to the mix, i started to love tomohisa to absolute bits and kinda started hating hideo. he was so indecisive and kept trying to use tomohisa's "happiness" as an excuse not to sort out his own issues. it pissed me off and honestly i wouldve been cool w tomohisa ending up w his doc bff instead. but i am glad they worked it out together and pulled thru. its a huge decision to drop your entire life and move to a foreign country like that, so it shows his commitment and im happy that tomohisa was able to live happily until the end. it wasnt necessarily a relatable problem, since they both really loved e/o even thruout their break but it still hurt. agh. i still dont really like hideo tho tbfh. he just rubbed me the wrong way. he doesnt deserve tomohisa at all. whatever tho. 8/10

so i only added this bc i wanted to read abt a melanin king and i was mad disappointed when i realized that he wouldnt even be in the endgame couple at the end. also it seems mand racist that the one brown character is like the worst human in this series. smh they shouldve switched his character w the puppy boy character. anyways this was kinda sad. jihyun was a horrible friend and person to chiwoo even before assaulting (and raping?) him so that was depressing to read but i still felt bad for him sorta. not much tho. i also started it planning only to read like one or two chaps but it really drew me in! i couldnt drop it after i reached like 10 chaps so yeah! it was pretty good!

bro how is it gonna end just like that dklfsdfks. they rly said lets spend 5 chaps on everyone else's backstorys and wrap up the entire plot in half a chapter?? what abt the graduation? and do they end up living together afterwards? tbh i really liked the story even w the lack of proper romance but the ending is kinda ruining it for me. i hope some extra chapters or side stories get released bc thats a bummer. the concept was really cool and i liked everything leading up to the ending but whatever ig.
