starrybuns's manga / #BEST BEST!(5)

This is so funny!!! That handmixer/dildo mix-up part will always make me laugh no matter what lmfao and this manga was pretty educational.. i got to learn abt OCPD and was even presented an example of it in the form of Naruse so i was able to understand the symptoms. But the thing i can't grasp is the fact Naruse's only 19?! And they have a 10-year age gap oml he's so young but suffers from such traumatic memories. It's sad that in reality Japan is still pretty conservative so same-sex relationships are still not looked at kindly but that's the thing abt this story.. it wants to show the readers how you can still be happy despite all the looks from people that you may get by just concentrating on what's in front of you and not around, focusing on your emotions rather than trying to conform to a state of normality. Really amazing portrayal and depiction and made me think a lot despite the humour (which i love!) so I'd say there's more to the story than what just meets the eye. I also really liked that their looks didn't typically stand out? Sure the characters are fun and quirky but their design was made with the intention of invoking laughs and it works! Especially Kei who has such a square face with square eyes and a special mention to Naruse's face whenever he's going thru something traumatic (it was legit creepy!!)

This manga was a real gem for me. What pretty art and what humorous references! Ahahaha had me smiling the whole time. Naka-chan has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen and he's such a perfect guy! It's so fun seeing him be lustful and seducing Kisuke hehehe it's impossible to keep your hands off when a hot gay is tempting you~ Ah! Not to mention, I related *heavily* when Naka-chan was talking about how through movies, one could see the lives of other people which is what he loves about it and why he joined the "Movies Lovers' club" even tho he could've joined the Igbt club since it's way more fun and free in a way cause clubs centered towards minorities are very helpful in letting ppl accept themselves and their identities but sometimes, for some ppl it can feel like too much as if you're being put in a box and that box shouldn't be the one validating your entire existence. It's something that's part of you, not the whole of who you are. And the 4th chapter omg!! How they showed Naka-chan missing and interacting with his gay friends from the US felt so real! It's typically hard to find mangas or manhwas where the gays are on good terms and can have casual relationships/sex with their other gay friends which is so overlooked as they do happen irl. I also didn't realise that the main couple didn't have sex till the last chapter o.o that's how lewd they were able to portray Naka-chan's character and also along with his innocence. Such a wholesome, funny and soft manga~ instantly one of my favs!
