kunii~<3's manga / #unrequited love(4)

Hm. I really liked the beginning, I thought it was really interesting and I liked the way they got closer, and I liked the portrayal of heartbreak and how it can really affect you and linger, and I like Wataru. I really don't like Soma. Does he? Even like Wataru?? Up until the end he still feels half-assed and clinging to his love for his ex. The author tries to have him explicitly tell people "Oh no I want to stop being half-assed" and "Oh acc from this point I stopped being half-assed" but he doesn't show it at all?? Not through his actions or his behaviour. It's chalked up to just being part of his personality but honestly I'm completely with Wataru. I totally understand why he's insecure but it's just played off as him being jealous and money. Idk it's just uncomfortable, it was not the right time for them to date and if the author really wanted to make it go the 'realistic relationships aren't perfect' then they should've shown that instead of brushing it off and just making them smile and fuck at the end. Idk it's just uncomfortable. I do like Takeichi though, he's a good friend

LMAOO I actually liked it, but probably not the way it was intended. I expected the main two to get together because it was kind of obvious, but wow the soap opera is strong in this one, I was laughing so much when I probably wasn't supposed to be. There are definitely feels and it's a fun short read. My favourite thing is characters appearing and disappearing, like where tf did Takimoto come from?? Omg he has an intense backstory with Gamou where he LOST A LEG?? They just frickin introduce him randomly and drop all his lore in the first convo, hilarious. Where tf did Murakami go? I bet no one remembers him lollll he was there for a hot second messing around and then just disappeared off the face of the planet so Anzai could pop in. I just love how random it all is for the sake of ramping up drama that never truly escalates and just sorta putters out. All in all pretty fun if you go in with an unserious mindset hdhxbxbxbx, I kind of want more

Lol the senpai annoyed me, it doesn't feel like he got his payback because it seemed to hurt the kouhai more, and also that doesn't rlly make up for so many years of messing with his concept of love. The senpai's personality was rlly charming and as a couple they're rlly cute, but it Irritated me that it feels the senpai got away with just dismissing the kouhai's feelings like that out of nothing but his own fear, like he should be guiltier tf, or at least acc face more consequences of how he treated the kouhai without it boomeranging back onto the kouhai. I can genuinely understand fear of getting into a relationship in highschool but there were better way he could have turned the kouhai down that didn't basically make a joke of his feelings ugh Oh and the second couple was fine ig, kinda mid, you only really have blondie's final confession as evidence that he acc likes the black hair one, so it's not that satisfying or romantic

They're the background idiot couple that the Mc in other shoujo manga reference fr Cutee, I liked the girl more than the guy cause he's kinda bland, they're cute together
