Aiko's manga / #Childhood Friends(26)

4.5, always take off stars or more for dubious-no consent which in this case is obvious. thing is though, their relationship thereafter was never really abusive, too manipulative, or toxic. The seme genuinely loves and is devoted to the ukes happiness. In addition the uke didn’t cheat/sleep with anyone after meeting the seme, any misunderstandings were immediately squashed, and they end up happily ever healthy

4.3 or 4.5. Lower score because of dubious consent/SA. This is an example of there being no ill-intent with the SA being done and it’s disguised in a manner because of how the Uke and Seme clearly feel about another the entire time but it’s non consensual regardless. I appreciate at the very least that there was a side of the Seme that would sober up and not take it all the way until full consent was granted but sadly it didn’t prevent some hand business which crossed the line. But the charisma between the characters and side characters was amazing, the panels and art is really beautiful, movie-esque actually. Though it did drag on for a bit if you compare it to the amount of chapters available, I’d like to think this was done purposefully to exhibit how long it took him to decide his feelings. Unfortunately it did make it seem like a rushed ending since it basically occurred in the last two ch. I could reread this

1, because of the art being captivating. The focus of most of the comments is the art style being so vivid especially in sex scenes since it seems to be the only thing this sorry has going for it. A plot centered around a uke with a pretty face that’s a naive gullible helpless idiot is lame. A plot not worthy of recognition. On top of that, there’s literal gang r@pe. It’s not a story, it’s a porn show essentially which is why the feelings are detached, there’s no moments in which there’s a romanctic scene that makes your heart thump because they’re undermined by the fact that it’s manipulation-induced. The only reason im even reviewing it than deleting it is to ensure I don’t read it again.

4.8, KageHina truly are cute and the dialogue (both internal and external) is more extensive than most djs and BLs but that doesn’t change the r@pe. It was very much trigger warning material, they include Hina yelling no repeatedly while in the woods with Kageyama. No matter how much Kageyama regrets it and Hinata insists that he was accepting of it, having coitus under scary pretenses is not okay. The only difference is the that the offender felt humility and shame which they all should (aka this is bare minimum). The end also felt a tad bit unfinished, they should have a few chapters of just unbridled happiness without one doubting the other or Hina getting sexually assaulted or worse. That’s why these omegaverses are so disappointing. They are cute together, and they really do love eachother which is why I wish they had it better. The art is beautiful though.

3.5, it’s not one of the worst I’ve read but I do feel as though the author may resent Bakugou. I’m not sure if there’s more to this manga that just wasn’t uploaded or if the author intended to write more but by the end of this, there’s no moments in which they’ve satisfied eachother sexually without Baku getting assaulted or worse. And of course minus the rating due to the SA Grape. Now I do like that this manga found a way to balance their relationship/love while preserving their individual personalities. Again I just wish there were even a side chapter where they could be even a smidge tender to eachother. I could reread again.

4.9, it’s actually really great I just think I would’ve loved something smoother for an intro into this tragedy like a scene/few panels of the last time they interacted before Baku got the call. But other than that, very deep dialogue + inner monologue, evokes strong emotions (def a tear jerker).

4.9, again little fast on these introductions and I get it, they’re characters very well known to the anime world but I still would’ve been just that much more impressed if there was a smoother introduction that didn’t get right into a first kiss deal. But overlooking that, it’s cute. It’s literally them being a mix of fluffy and otherwise. Could reread again.

10.99, I love love LOVE this one it’s so darn cute. I absolutely love by the way a Uke that’s so extremely soft and in love with their Seme but can still kick ass. And I love how level headed and green flag the Seme is. I feel like reality would’ve been that the twins could’ve guessed how the Uke was feeling by the time the Uke refused to admit to the prank or at least try to talk to the Uke one-on-one about why he wanted to refuse but in the end their contribution didn’t matter much anyway I suppose. Would reread it again since the climax wasn’t too bad, there wasn’t a long-drawn out resolve so I’d reread this one again for sure. Such cute art style too.

2.0, the art has potential but this plot is majorly r@pe. It’s deceiving since their first time is led by the uke but it’s still dubiously consenting for the seme but it gives you the illusion that all was well, except for the fact that the transpiring coitus are all questionable. One could point out the obvious which is that the seme is manipulative and the uke is naively blinded by “love” and the type to be swept away or make excuses with rose tinted shades, major downside to their dynamic. And in the end it’s undeniable that the Seme did not make an effort to reveal the truth and communicate his since gender nor his true intentions in a reliable mature way, thus making for a sloppy ending where he’s accepted despite not facing consequences for his actions (all b/c the Uke is so accepting after being gr@ped for some reason). Disappointing honestly.

5.0+, perfectly wholesome one shot <3
