Kejora's manga / #Adorable(22)

3 stars // ahhh stories with children as a plot device are always so cute no? This was cute, it's just that flower shop dude's character is really weird, i get that he's supposed to look pretty but act cunning like a fox, but to me he looks like he's just playing around, maybe it's just me being picky but it felt so weird how their relationship progressed, i think it would've been better if the "300$ a night" thing was resolved way way back when they first met, kind of something like Riku and Aoi going to Arashi's place and Riku freaking out to find out it was the dude that tried to buy him, and like, confront him point-blank right there, and then Takashi would clear up the misunderstanding saying he was drunk and Riku would be clear out of weird suspicions. Idk the plot progression just doesn't sit right with me, it was just yesterday Riku was scared shitless that this guy tried to buy him a night and now he's falling head over heels for him to the point of jealousy,, over what? I mean it's not like he's a role model kid caretaker himself that Riku admires Takashi, but oh well love is blind i guess. The story was cute though, would really like to see a story about Aoi and Arashi too when they're all grown up (✧ω✧)

4 stars // this was really good actually! it's not everyday you get a manga that starts with the couple already dating and even living together in a 1LDK! I loved both of the characters, you could see that they love each other very much the same amount, like there's not a one-sided thing where one slowly starts falling out of love with the other or something similar to that, because usually with stories where they were already a couple when it started they'd end up breaking up, only to later get back together and i kinda hate it when it goes there. And, this story *kind* of went there? but it was mostly a misunderstanding on their parts. i think the only reason i didn't give it a five star was because the conflict, in my humble opinion, isn't that strong to warrant such a reaction and aftermath. Sure refusing sex when they'd usually do it often would cause some eyebrow raises, but it could be SO easily solved if they just, talk, it, out. it's both of their faults honestly, uke was not being honest about wanting to stop having sex so often and came out harsh and rejecting, and seme was also at fault for getting his assumptions to his head and acted it out in front of the uke without confirming anything, it's just one hell of a big misunderstanding and i thanked the gods they didn't get to a "let's break up" scenario because if they did and then get back together? I would've given it three stars. Anyway they solved the misunderstanding beautifully! i teared up a little bit, it really sounded like a proposal! and in the end they moved to a bigger place! i hope they grow old together (≧◡≦) ♡
