mango's manga / #tricky(15)

it was.... so fucked up. SO fucked up. at least the ending was okay. REREADINGGGG EARLY 2024: i LOVE THIS MANGA!!! such a twisted dynamic and super hot to read. asaichi is a bitch but he really comes around and it's very sweet. i was screaming into my pillow SO MUCHHH!!!! i adore yoru so much... my king... i hope they're both happy together for the rest of their lives... the worst scene is pretty bad and kind of a surprisingly stark contrast from the rest of the manga, but it didn't take me out of the story much. i don't think the details are too important so i'd likely skip it myself in future rereadings. really glad they didn't go for the lotion + pebbles route, holy shit harada sensei really is the best at creating extremely attractive and toxic relationships. if you know what to expect and understand it's gonna get rough, it's a pretty pleasant time. she's so damn funny, too - i absolutely loved the cheeky comments of the other two band members!!! i do feel bad for people who come across her for the first time though, it's certain to be a shock. i love harada :D

i don't particularly enjoy the story itself, but this kinda masochist/sadist shit is rlly hot 2 me oopsies

art is seriously cute, and couple aint too bad. plot is questionable at best.

erg

really disappointing :( i absolutely adore star x fanboy beyond words and was super pumped to see cheumji worked on something else, but god this is bad. i'm only four chapters in, there's been two sexual scenes, and both are weird dubcon ???? girlllll come ON do better... plus the characters aren't interesting, the plot is lame, and i hate the overarching idea being "homosexuality is banned" with such a humorous vibe, like that shit is fucked up man! i wish i had it in me to continue, but this just ain't it. peaked at star x fanboy, plummeted at cuffed. how tragic
