tofu's manga / #Manly(200)

Im screaming ????? There is dubcon and identity issues but A a a a a a a nishida higashi is seriously the best when it comes to writing romance between men. Idk but sometimes when i read BL it's very clear that the author is a woman, and a straight one at that, so the romance aspect feels very hetero imo. Nishida higashi though, the romance that she writes always feels organic and makes sense in the context of mlm relationship to me, even when there are unsavory or outlandish elements in the plot. And the little interactions or headspace that she writes ALWAYS hit me like a brick bro like they would be a simple moment of hand touching or staring at each other from across the room and i would feel like im DYING. It's really fuckin good. Idk how to explain it better, but. Nishida higashi fuckin rocks, man.

Pretty good, though i wish MCs had interacted more before they had sex. The author did such a great work on the scenes where they were flirting or just hanging out together, and i want more of them!

Screaming and throwing myself inside a manhole and never coming up again

Premise is interesting, the ML is smokin, and most importantly: MEN IN SUITS!!! I'm not feeling the story tho, bcs it all feels underdeveloped, so 3 stars for now.

Why, and i mean WHY, does this manga has such a low rating??? This manga is another example of why i love reading Nishida Higashi's mangas -- the way she writes romance between men is unpararelled. Especially the first story (since the second one is a spinoff of a manga that i didn't read), the characters are so flawed, but they felt SO human for that. The longing, the heartache, the mistakes and regrets between the two MCs felt so fucking real all the more because of how their characters were written. And don't get me started on the internal monologues -- they're so fucking excellent. It baffles me again and again to see people not liking Nishida's stories as much as i do.

Romcom with gay men in suits is my fave genre

MLM oneshots through women's POV. I love this way more that i thought i would!

i get that this is smut, essentially a pwp, but it's still weird as heck remembering that these two are 15 and 16 years old considering all the hardcore sex they have lmaooo interesting dynamic though the relationship is super underdeveloped. I wish it was more about them kicking ass together than them doing the deed.

Okay, the character dynamic, the vibes, and the art -- it's so good! But then (i can't remember why since it has been a while) i started losing interest midway and just skimmed the rest of the manga. Probably needs a re-read.
