Omae no Tame ni Houritsu Kaetakara, Ore to Kekkon Shitekure
#Childhood friends #First Love #Friends to lovers #Pushy seme #Gungho seme #Passive uke #Kind uke Awwh. Seme becomes a minister to change the laws so that he could marry Uke. It's cute and reflects a change that Japan is in dire need of. The only thing I don't get is why Seme and Uke lost contact during that time?? I'm thinking because, otherwise, the whole marriage thing would've gone way too smoothly and the manga needed conflict somewhere xD

Ooof. Hah. Whew. Just. This manhwa man. This manhwa. I just spent around 25USD to buy all the chapters so I can show love for Munamu-ssaem's work. And this is HUGE for me. Not just the price, but buying from Tappytoons, cuz I abhor their purchase-by-chapter system. I get it, Marvel and DC Comics do that too, but I no longer buy or read comics for that reason either. WHICH IS PROOF THAT APBC IS A GAHDANG MASTERPIECE. I honestly cannot explain everything I love and hate about this manhwa. I could probably make a gahdang thesis just based off it. There are parts here that are hard to get through because the angst level is just...dear lord. The resolution doesn't erase the pain of the angst, but balances it in a way that makes the future hopeful. Plus, the ending of the story, while happy, is also open. We have a sense that the rain can go from showers to deluge at the pull of a trigger. But at that moment, where Munamu-san ended...everything is okay. And being okay is one of the most underrated and beautiful states of being. I wish I could give more specific details about what I love about this story, but I don't want to give anything away. This is also unusual of me because I typically don't care. My other reviews shamelessly have spoilers lol...again, bitch move, but am I sorry enough to stop? For the sake of my organizational aesthetic...nu~. This is a story that needs to be appreciated and enjoyed in its entirety. Afterwards, I encourage you to support Munamu-ssaem by buying their chapters because APBC fkkn DESERVES IT. I AM REALLY SAD THAT THIS DOESN'T GET MORE APPRECIATION.

Excludes chp 9 from review. #Asshole alpha seme #Meek omega uke #Sensitive uke #Insensitive alpha #Dubcon #Rape #Seme's grandfather sexually assaults uke in front of a crowd #Heat-less omega goes into heat #Fake pairing turned to fated pairs #Uke has a twin #Twin betrays uke #Possessive seme #Nosebleed worthy smut #Legal shota Definitely not the kind of alpha you want or the type of relationship that should be sought after, but the smut is undeniably delicious and their relationship in chp 6-8 made me helpless to their whim lol. Seeing the alpha go from "I hate you, you no good omega" to "fuck, let me be your alpha, I beg you" was also, admittedly, satisfying. I do get why he's an asshole, because the family he comes from actually makes him look like the kindest alpha in the world by comparison (he's most likely the kindest one in that household, at least). But what's also satisfying is the way he puts Uke first by chp 5 and then is pretty muched whipped for Uke by chapter 7. So, over all, I enjoyed reading it. ^^

#Dubcon #Rape #Sexual Assault #Legal shota for a different couple #Rich alpha seme #Omega uke works as matchmaker #Uke had seme's kid after accidental one night stand #Seme later gets amnesia #Possessive seme #Typical omegaverse stuff #Kid is cute lol I find it very amusing whenever the omega has alpha's son and hides the fact from the alpha. This manga was doubly amusing because Seme thought the Uke had a kid with his subordinate and Uke still refused to tell the truth because he didn't want to make Seme feel responsible. But Uke doesn't understand that Seme WANTS to be responsible and that he wishes he was actually the father--and is very bitter when thinking that he's not. Other than that, the story is so derivative that it would've been boring without the other, more fun cliches as mentioned.
