bokutotiddies's manga / #mature(3)

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 good!! ive thought this from the beginning but i love the maturity in the main character's narration. it stuck me how realistic ed's thought process was compared to things i see in the more childish manhwas and mangas ive read. obviously this one had way more mature themes too other than just seggs. it was actually pretty fascinating to see what might go down at a porn shooting (well a very high quality one) and the trials faced when it all came to light proved to be devastating even as a reader. i really really liked ed. i loved the way he handled shit, from being savage as FUCK in arguments and throwing away chang at the end, but also his ability to stay strong when it came to not caving into a toxic, yet tempting relationship. he was so honest about the resentment he felt towards mcqueen (which he had EVERY right to btw) and i related w the guilt that comes with wanting to hurt the one you love sometimes bc you feel that they deserve it. i couldnt give a fuck about chang but i loved mcqueen too (other than the gross rapist portrayal in his porno) he was hot as fuck and respectful as fuck too. anywaysss 8/10.
