4 stars // I can't bring myself to dislike this manga because of how weirdly light everything is. To be very honest those two from the first story are equally as weird so /claps/ they're made for each other! But in all seriousness, i don't get the Uke's line of thought? Like, yeah ok you got confessed by gay men a lot back in highschool and they blamed it on you even though you didn't do anything and that somehow traumatized you, WHY the FUCK is your coping mechanism seducing gay men and make them confess only for you to reject them? What kind of unhealthy toxic predatory bullshit excuse for a coping mechanism is that? And he ends up enjoying it judging from his expression and inner monologues, speaking as if he has "experience", makes it his "habit", it's not even a coping mechanism anymore he just does it because he's an asshole who enjoys seeing their rejected faces and that's so fucking weird, get therapy little dude, you really need it.
And then we have the double-personality seme, also fucking weird. He knows that Uke plays around with men only to reject them so the fact that he's attracted to that is already a red alarm, because why, why are you attracted to that? The answer is because he himself is worse. With the way the story is layed out it makes it seem like the Seme is this cunning dude who gets what he wants, in an "attractive" way, but i juts see it as shamelessly manipulating someone to date you by blackmailing and visiting their workplace everyday and force them to go out to places together.
Both of them are so fucking weird jesus christ i don't know WHY i like this story, and the fact that Uke's supposed "trauma" isn't even resolved like at all? The nightmare he had had no significant meaning whatsoever, so is he a traumatized kid with bad coping mechanisms or just a straight up asshole of a person with no grasp for social norms and how hard it probably is for gay people to confess their feelings?? And how did the Seme even get to know him that well? He probably stalked him before going on with his plan shshsh Oh god the more i type the more i realize they need therapy, but it's ok, they're perfect for each other. I guess the reason why i couldn't hate it was because it was kinda,, uh,, cute? It's not dramatic at all and even sometimes comedic, even if the way they started out is kinda fucked up they make a good couple, they "truly love" each other well, if you uh, forget how they even got there in the first place and pretend Uke's weirdass backstory who HAS NO SIGNIFICANT MEANING TO THE ACTUAL PLKT doesn't exist it makes a cute, blackmail-to-lovers type of story, i swear they could've made the uke an actual gay fuckboy and it wouldn't change a thing to the plot, at all. Sigh.
As for the second and third couple, and fourth (?) couple, i have few things to say. First of all for the second couple, eh as long as it's a mutual roleplay i have no problem with it, Seme-kun also seems like he doesn't have a very heavy problem with it so i guess they're not that bad, the third story gave me a sugar high! How cute!! The misunderstanding that ruined a few years of their life where they could've done more lovey dovey stuff lmao. And potential fourth couple, let me say this beard guy would absolutely smash that ass, he knows how to smooth talk that means he's d a n g e r o u s.
Oshiete, Ookami-san.
