IDKBTS's manga / #Student x Student(135)

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.

Is it a weird premise? Yea, kind of...really weird. But. The story is kind o good? It has some cliches but not in an annoying way, which I love, and the story kind of made my heart flutter a lot lol. I like Yoh and Komiya wayyy more than their brothers, I am happy they are the center couple. ALTHOUGH, sometimes Komiya was fishy af, but i am gonna try to ignore that because it was only with Yoh and they are dating for years and I WILL LOSE MY SANITY OTHERWISE.

It did not give what it was supposed to be giving. The idea of the concept itself - I like, something about falling in love early, and bodyguard & high class is a fun cliche, but it was done in a quite disgusting way. Bro manipulated the uke so that he won't have any friends and make him feel guilty, and THAT ONE SCENE WHERE HE DID STUFF TO HIM WHEN HE WAS ASLEEP?! WHAT. They both are so dumb too, like you wanna tell me you really thought that after years of touching each other, you don't think the other person AT LEAST likes you???? Ugh. Such a long story for the wrong couple. I just saw that this is the author of the manga of the horse and tiger - which was so fucked too. WHY DO YOU MAKE BEAUTIFUL ART WITH A TERRIBLE STORYLINE UGH.

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…"

The cover of the manga really misguided me, I thought it’s gonna be toxic and kind of didn’t wanna read it (but I was desperate to read something) but damn was I wrong…it is the most not toxic story ever, it is the biggest green flag possible. Dom, sub, switch and neutral are secondary genders (like omegaverse), and i love how they explain that trust in each other is needed, that’s its a mutual relationship…it was so nice to read. The couple is so sweet, they are different personalities, but work so well together, I really loved this story, it was sweet. THE DOM WAS SO GENTLE IM GONNA CRY.

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.

I am honestly torn about this manga, it is kind of giving "fetishization" at times, but then it is very lovely other times. Idk. It is very sexual, and well...it was somehow of a good manga? the characters were interesting, too bad they didn't build the world much...it was just plain and soooo focused on mating, it was getting annoying ngl. It is basically a 4/5 smut, but story-wise it is a 2/5, so I am giving it 3/5.

Is it low-key weird? yes. Is it a bad manga? no. Yes, the premise is kind of weird, but the feels are there, and the chemistry is there, the lovey-dovey stuff is there...so imma give it a 4/5 hehe.

Perfect. I loved EVERYTHING about this manga, it was fun, interesting and the art is so damn gorgeous - I kept looking at each panel for a hella long time. It was just so so so perfect, I need way more of them, and honestly the world they live in as well. And I actually laughed as well!
