bokutotiddies's manga / #deep(5)

so good! i think it was a little slow in the middle, especially w the main couple w jaerim rejecting yuri and the whole ex prez arc bc it got repetitive, but before and after that whole section, it was really really good! i actually really liked the side couples, though ik a lot of people didnt like them. tbh they were very complex, and thats what made them so good despite still somewhat unrealistic. the first side couple resolved their issues too quickly imo, but their fluff was so cute that i wish we got more of them. the second one w the ex prez and vice prez is the only frustrating one bc we never got a proper conclusion or even understanding of their relationship. i really liked aerak and heeno, even if their relationship was built on one-sided resentment and trauma. it really made me think abt how i would feel if i was in aeraks position, and i only grew to love them to this extent in the very last panel of the the very last chapter, i adored it. fuck that random bitch and fuck her henchman too idc. i dont think he raped jaerim but i think he unquestionably assaulted him. the main couple were great - again it was so slow at the beginning but i really enjoyed seeing jaerim slowly fall in love and yuri get over his demons. the art is really pretty and there were so many hilarious reactions from all the characters. the art is what made it what it is and also - no wonky translations!! its rare but truly a gift i didnt know was so satisfying. ALSO - i was expecting some smut damn. i realize that though i dont like when the plot is 50% smut, i do enjoy a pinch of it in every story. it wouldve been nice to see yuri and jaerim, especially bc he was assaulted :( i'll always love pure angst and fluff too tho. the message was really good and deep too. i really enjoyed it and i think i might reread, maybe? no real urgency but it was a fun time! 9/10

i really liked this. it was really mature and interesting to say the least. i cant say i understand sekines perspective but it was so interesting to see his insight on life. hes so beautiful too, he reminded me of akaashi, which only hurt my feelings more. their relationship was so frustrating and even though it did work out in the end, i really wish we couldve gotten that earlier without the misunderstandings. the lack of communication hurt me deeply lol. i adore sekine though and i wanted to best for him especially after all the traumatizing things that have happened to him. i really really liked doujima and his unrequited love story too and im so upset he doesnt have his own story. i guess i shouldnt be surprised though, i mean this isnt shoujo manga. sigh, this was good but i feel so unsatisfied even though i liked the ending. i suppose im just greedy like that. my heart was so heavy seeing sekine cry and fall in love for the first time and it still feels somewhat heavy. after reading some replies i get why. he never really addresses everything he went through, properly vents to anyone and has someone listen and understand him, or face his issues head-on and achieve catharsis. we dont get to see any of that, however, i guess that's what makes it so realistic. normal people don't get to magically forget all their issues and move forward. i went into this pretty blindly but im glad i read it. overall probably an 8/10, mainly bc of the speedy conclusion.

hi okay imma be honest this was one of the best bls ive read and the fact that it was so short is CRIMINAL but the way it had such an impact on me with such little content is incredible. this was so fucking great, from the characters to the plot to the structure of their relationship to the art style to the underlying message shared. im in love. ugh, i love kyousuke so much and i relate so much with the mentality of not knowing whether something is "right or wrong" and being too afraid to pursue anything that seems wrong. but hes also everything i want to be, from his self-assuredness and motivation and work drive. hes inspirational but pitiful at the same time. i cried reading this. i only ever cry for long ass works that have time to play w my emotions but this did it for me within the 5th chapter. i loved this so much. i want to read the rest of the authors works if theyre even half this good. ugh. so fucking good. 10/10 literally. the only issue is that its so short. i could read 50 chapters about them and not grow tired. cant wait to reread.

this is so profound. i loved it so much. it makes me want to experience something like "once in a lifetime" night where you meet someone who you click with just so instantly, and spend the entire night chatting about everything and everything - only maybe i would leave out the never seeing them again part. i also am so strucken by the concept of one entire bloodline, from single-celled organism to modern human, can carry memories of their ancestors, passed down generation by generation. obsessed. how do people even think of these things. sci-fi truly is so fascinating. its been so long since ive read smth like this but im glad i did. the title is so cool too, emanon being an anagram for nonone. just so cool. 10/10.

i really liked this aww. their relationship fell into place so smoothly despite both of them being kinda depressing and awkward. their confession was so cute and natural everything just felt so accepted and wholesome. the art is also so so cool and i love the symbolism behind the laboradite. just leaves me feeling kinda warm and happy. 8/10
