nini's manga / #age gap(168)

this was kind of cute but a bit disturbing as well :'> it's a guilty pleasure of mine since i did quite enjoy reading it but the thing is i was just a bit bothered by their relationship since takamura is his teacher, it's odd for me to say this bc i've read at least 50 mangas with this type of trope but this one was a bit too much jahahshshd they kept having sex in every single chapter and i also didn't feel quite comfortable since takamura kept on forcing rin to go to his house and tbh the cabin scene was definitely dubcon since rin was probably was feeling indebted to takamura that time esp when he just saved him from falling off the cliff as well as a bit hazy and traumatized from the experience :(( i was uncomfortable the whole time bc the teacher was the one who was courting his student but as i said it was a guilty pleasure bc its very rare to see this type of dynamic so i quite liked too, and they have a background as to why takamura's pursuing rin so ig its not that creepy at all.... overall it was okay, might be a little uncomfortable to some, but it wasn't the worst ^^ their conflict was quite petty and immature tbh esp with takamura being 7 years older and a grown ass man but ig it ended well for them :')) the piano thing could've been better if it was incorporated more, i actually added this to my read list bc i was expecting a bit of emotion esp with the piano involved in the story but ig they were still kind of cute :> shino is such a good friend, always being there and supporting rin ^^ also can we talk abt rin's father >< he's so gorgeous !!!! ㅠㅠ i hope takamura stops lying to rin's father though :< i wanted to see their relationship after rin graduated since that setting would probably be hard for them but ig the ending was okay too~ the art style is pretty though this was an okay read :))

omfg idek what to say PLEASE I CAN'T MOVE ON FROM THIS ㅠㅠ it was so freaking good :')) my emotions went on a rollercoaster ride bc of how intense this was it had everything from supernatural to wholesome to more drama and angst :'DD but don't worry it ends really well !! might be one of my favorite endings (╥﹏╥) i just want to scream and rant about dohui PLEASEEEE this man needs to get more appreciation !!!! i must admit it was very red flag of him to make that deal with the ghosts but i mean the man was in love and we all know what love does to you :'> but the important thing is he atoned for his sins by protecting seongjae from all harm, staying with him until his last breath, waiting for him to get reincarnated for more than 2000 years LET ME REPEAT THAT 2000 YEARS (´༎ຶ ͜ʖ ༎ຶ `), after that he waited for another 20 years and finally he got to hold seongjae in his arms :')) like i can't stop thinking abt how hard that must've been, to see the love of your life die and to wait for him for hundreds of centuries until he gets reincarnated + he didn't remember their old memories :'< i think that was enough punishment for what he had done in the past and i really commend him for that >< he's up there in my green flag list, literally raised my standards for everyone :'> i have a lot more to say esp with how he treats seongjae, the little things he does for him ㅠㅠ he always pays attention to the smallest details and he always prioritizes him above everything, even his own life i can write a whole ass essay abt dohui but imma just keep it in my heart :DD i admire their relationship, the mutual pining in the beginning was a bit frustrating bc of course i just wanted them to confess to each other but it had the right pacing so i had no problems with that ^^ they had great communication and there wasn't any misunderstanding, drama whatsoever between their relationship which is why i'm just obsessed with what they have >< seongjae is a ball of sunshine, very precious and i just love him :(( they both care for each other and you can really feel how much they love and treasure each other ㅠㅠ tbh i have a lot more to rant abt their relationship but i still have more to talk about so i'll be moving on to the next couple hehe~ so for sooyeon and beom, tbh their relationship from the historical era was not that appealing for me bc i'm not into that kind of dynamic esp with its incestuous side to it, but i still did get attached to them esp when sooyeon was already a ghost and all :> their modern relationship was still a bit disturbing bc they did have an age gap and they were yet again siblings but the difference is that beom was adopted so they were not really related and he also went to the states to study so they didn't grow up together but idk something abt step siblings and age gaps makes it kind of disturbing for me esp when they're both present in one relationship but i still liked their story so it was fine :)) lastly, the king and joohwan, tbh i wanted them to end up together but i think the king deserved that treatment bc he took joohwan for granted :(( i think that's the punishment that he'll be going through for the rest of his ghost life lol but i mean maybe modern joohwan would end up getting feelings for him at some point we'll never know~ but i do like their dynamic, they have a fun and chaotic dynamic i love it overall this was such an amazing read !! literally in love with everyone and their stories <33 i absolutely love the ending for all couples esp with our main couple of course >< dohui deserved that so much esp with how much he had gone through ㅠㅠ i'm so happy that he won't experience seeing seongjae die before his eyes knowing he can't go with him afterwarda :')) i'm legit just so happy for them bc they can finally rest and live happily without any ghosts bothering them (´ω`) i also love the new king of the underworld >< he's very classy and kind ^^ i also love how sang-il was a part of the gang and how he also got reincarnated as seongjae's best friend (╥﹏╥) ugh idk what more to say, this was a masterpiece !! <33 definitely worth to binge ^0^ the art style is immaculate !! every single one of them are gorgeous i'm obsessed and in love with all of them this was such a worth it read !! i also recommended this to my friends and even ranted abt it on twitter bc they deserve the recognition ❣️

this was so beautiful :')) it reminded me of Life: Senjou no Bokura bc of how realistic it was ^^ it showed how life went for an lgbt+ couple who had a 10-year age gap~ of course they had a bit of problems at the beginning since their pairing was a tutor and a student but i love how there was no grooming involved and makoto did what a mature adult should do, but kazuhiko fought for their relationship and waited up until he graduated to prove himself that his love for makoto is real and that he'll willing to wait even if it takes 20 years for makoto to believe him :'> i just love how wholesome they were all throughout :'(( they were so domestic and adorable even though they were old already <33 they still had so much love for each other up until their last breath ㅠㅠ the story shows you how their life progressed and how their character developed as the years went by ^^ it also showed how much they value and treasure each other esp when kazuhiko got into an accident, ik how painful and anxiety-inducing that was :(( i'm glad it didn't leave any type of effects or harm on kazuhiko :)) overall i really love this (´ω`) i love how the plot was simple yet meaningful ♡ it shows that age gaps isn't something that should be stigmatized (of course unless if there was grooming, pedophilia, and other illegal and disgusting behaviors involved) i must admit that this age gap was a bit big and if you look at them, it was between a student and a working adult in his late 20s but the reason why i liked this and wasn't uncomfy at all is because if you looked at makoto, he never acted in a predacious way, he never made any moves or sexual approach towards kazuhiko~ he respected what kazuhiko's mom told him and he completely distanced himself from kazuhiko :> and even after they got reunited, he still never did anything and just continued to teach kazuhiko ^^ he waited and even refused kazuhiko at first but i'm glad that they ended up together bc look at how they made each other happy for the rest of their lives (╥﹏╥) i also really love the ending :')) it was bittersweet but i felt like it was so wholesome bc it just felt right <33 kazuhiko was happy and i just love the final panels esp with the letter, i teared up and got emotional bc of how heartwarming it was ㅠㅠ i just love them ugh they are the standard !!!! this was a masterpiece >< and the art style is gorgeous !! this was a great read !!

its been a while since i've put down reviews but this was a masterpiece !! ik it was rocky, painful, and had annoying characters but i must stay the story was full of emotions and i just love how unique it is though it also reminded me of banana fish which is just pain :'DD kyle and sean's relationship seemed like sean used kyle as vinny's substitute ?? but i feel like he also had genuine feelings for him :')) i felt bad for kyle but not really lol bc he looked like he wasn't that much affected by sean and even straight up did it with another man after throwing a tantrum anyway the only character i love is sean though we must admit him doing it with kyle is a bit :/ idk though bc kyle just seems like a little kid but sean was kind and i felt bad esp how he was despised by the one he truly loves :(( i understand that vinny had trauma and whatnot but girl u don't need to kill and traumatize other people just bc of your trauma ???? bestie needs therapy :'> but i'm glad he accepted kyle towards the end and he even named his son after sean :)) i would also like to point out how mature and likeable sandy is ^^ she's one of those best girl characters bc she understood kyle and changed vinny ig ?? i mean i just want to give sandy some credit for not being a part of the annoying character clan :DD overall i think the plot was very interesting and quite unique ^^ i must admit it was a bit annoying and frustrating but it still deserves a higher rating !! there was also some character development so~ i think the selling point for me was the ending bc i'm glad that vinny changed for the better and i love how he still treasures sean even after knowing sean's true feelings for him :)) the art style is gorgeous !! love the classics this was a great read !!

i didn't expect to like this bc even though i did have an arranged marriage phase i just thought this would be too forceful esp with the tradition thing involved but to my surprise they actually ended up being so inlove with each other ^0^ i love how their parents let them live together in tokyo so that they'll be more comfortable with each other (though i must admit it was still pretty forceful lol) ^^ i love how respectful chikage is !! he never forced momoki to do it until he was ready~ he even made a how-to-do list on how to successfully do it with one another >< they both did it with consent and they were also both okay with their positions which is great :)) i love how we really got to see how their feelings were formed and i really felt how much they loved each other ^^ i also like how tabata wasn't annoying and instead of pursuing momoki, he still stayed to be his bestie (ू˃̣̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣̣ ू) i also love how chikage went back to his parents to officially ask momoki's hand in marriage and they also got married again (for real this time ㅠㅠ) overall this was really adorable and funny !! <33 i really liked how it had a great balance between the comedic atmosphere + romance side ^^ i also really love the extras ^0^ this is one of those stories wherein i'm pretty satisfied with its ending bc we really got to see it all :DD i wish we got to see more dosmesticy after they got officially married but i mean they were already pretty domestic since the beginning (≡^∇^≡) plus the extra at the end was pretty domestic too >< i'm just happy for them the art style is gorgeous as well !! this was a great read !!

again i don't remember much but what i do remember is getting annoyed at ritsu lol i can't explain it but i think he doesn't really cherish katagiri BUT i do understand that katagiri was the one who kept pushing himself to be with ritsu so yea overall i just felt like the relationship felt forced though it did have potential ^^ i think the plot was quite unique it just needed ro be executed in a different way ig ?? but that's just my opinion !!! i think it was still pretty good, it just didn't fit my taste that much~ the art's great though i've read a lot of this author's books and i will say they do have a lot of different tropes to choose from !! ^0^ this was a good read !!

most of the ratings are for the first couple bc i liked them more ^0^ their dynamic is literally one of my faves >< its also had a bit of unique trope wherein they're both inlove with the same girl (i say unique bc they were polar opposites but they have the same taste) :> they were so cute and sweet >< i love how shu's always looking angry or pissed at tsuyoshi but on the inside they're so inlove ㅠㅠ as for the 2nd couple, i wasn't that into it bc aiji is so ??? (red flag) he has some anger issues and he's also such a jerk for using ayabe :(( but ig he changed (?) towards the end, it looked like he really loved ayabe so ig i'm happy for them bc ayabe did love him for the start :'> the art style's cute !! this was a good read ig ^^

this was pretty goooood !! the plot is so unique ^0^ its my first time reading about bl superheroes their dynamic is so cute and i'm also obsessed with the superhero x villain but the villain is more innocent and cute >< i love how their relationship started out as friends and we really got to see how their love developed !! this is a fantasy bl but their relationship is very realistic (≡^∇^≡) they have such an ideal relationship, they have good communication and they're just overall adorable :> i think it had a good balance between their love and the conflict but it did focus more on the conflict :DD but i still enjoyed it ^0^ jose was also not that annoying ex-bf, i'm glad he acknowledged his wrongs and he apologized to daniel :)) overall it was pretty good !! kept me hooked, i had the urge to finish it all in one sitting :DD i really enjoyed reading this while i was sick <33 also i'm glad that dan's mom apologized and accepted his son for who he is >< all of the side characters esp dan's coworkers are so funny and kind :> i also love that they invited their friends and we got to see them have a proper wedding ^0^ their dynamic was filled with comedy which make me like it even more >< the art style's very pretty too !! this was a great and funny read !!
