IDKBTS's manga / #Shounen Ai(49)

The amount of emotion in every face, damn, there is a lot of angst but it just made me feel good reading this...which is surprising because I usually cannot handle angst lol. The whole story is so bittersweet, starting with Takiya's boyfriend cheating to Honjou's long unrequited love getting married, but them both finding comfort with each other. I love characters like Takiya's that are straightforward and assertive but in a not attacking predatory kind of way lol. I needed more lovey-dovey at the end, and thank god here is an extra.

Simple but so well written, I really enjoyed reading this, IT GAVE ME THE FEELS. This kind of mangas makes me love love lol, and the art is truly beautiful.

Cute oneshot, no enough happened to judge is it, but whatever was there - WHOLESOME.

Someone in the comments wrote (and I totally agree): "Childhood friends + Unrequited love is an overused theme in BL but this mangaka really took a different path and delivered in a realistic way. Usually when one of them force himself on the other, the later just accept it with confusion or run away because of embarrassment/confusion but still is ok with it. But here the author choose to show this as a traumatic event for both of them. Same for the confession, here Kazu said that he doesn’t think of Moto like that but still want to be friend with Moto. And his feelings didn’t change for 2 years. In other BL, Kazu would have ditched his gf to be with Moto without questioning his feelings and sexual orientation. It was nearly excellent, too bad we didn’t see more of them after Kazu accepted Moto’s feelings and as a couple. A 6th chapter would have been great…"

First story - love. It was cute, it was a little more interesting as they started from a bet, very weird how he fall in love so fast though...loveddddd seeing them in university, that they are still togther and he told his friends about Dal, wish for more fluffy scenes. Second story - ummm, very meh, didn't like it much, more "unique" i guess but just was not working well. And I swear the author has a thing of making people fall in love weirdly fast.

It was fine, just weird how aggressively fast the switch from "ain't no way I am dating you" to "let's date" happened, like he was very against it in 3-4 chapters, then in half a chapter he suddenly is ok with it...? Weird. Idk, meh. Someone wrote "I don't really buy their relationship. Not wanting to lose your best friend is not the same as falling for them romantically, and i don't think MC had enough time to process everything that has changed between him and ML to actually develop a genuine feeling. It felt like he just settled to be "in love" with ML so that he didn't have to lose him." AND I TOTALLY AGREE.

It was cute, development felt nice and stady, but just WHY END IT LIKE THAT?! They litreally just said theyr love each other, then they go do stuff, and that's it?? Bro, give me some dates, give me them trying to figure out how ti nevagate their relationship in school and etc! More was needed.

So sweet but SO SHORT!! Why make such a wonderful story for it to be done sooo fast?? Sadness.

I am not sure what to even say...what was this?!?! Why for months he been his marriage advisor even though he knows that he is his mate and he has a child from him and bro somehow didn't know AND didn't remember that he had sex with this guy and bit him which by the way was so weird why did he so much wanted to bite him and then propose to him?? And why is Kairi right away and had the child and never told him?? like whyyyyyyyy, I don't get it. AND THEN they had sex again because he was jealous of the child's father that he thought Kairi is still in love with, and then Kairi has sex with him because he still loves him but it's so weird!! I feel like I lost so many brain cells reading this!! oh and somehow I rated this 5 out of 5 before, what was I thinking ?? Did I slip down and hit my head?? the child was the redeeming quality of the story because he is so darn cute. I am happy they had a happy ending in a family but Kairi is the stupidest, somehow Haruumi is less terrible - still not great. Also, I feel like the mangaka has a thing with kids, they might be a pedophile cause what the FUCK would a policeman and that child looking (that is 22 year old)?! Kairi kind of looks like a child as well like his expressions and features are childlike and then in the end there's this guy that I think he is in high school telling a child let's get married when you're older what do you mean bro??? What do you mean?! WHAT IS THIS GOD.

Can't believe this is over, it's one of those mangas I thought I will be reading forever! It was sweet, nice, and great clinches put in a new spin. Breath of fresh air.
