stressedpenguin's manga / #5/10(232)

Collection of oneshots about different couples. The first one was cute and then others were just meh for me. Ch 1-1.5: MC befriends the popular guy surrounded by girls who's rumored to be gay. Both characters are very direct and Mr. popular is very up front about his feelings. Very cute and a 7/10 Ch 2: Guy with a sis con complex is seething when his sister introduces her model coworker and is shocked to discover the coworker is actually in love with him. 5/10 Ch 3: grown man gets a surprise visit from the kid he's been in love with. The kid has just turned 18, is also in love with him, and is here to collect on a promise they made years ago. Has a pretty massive age gap and it's very weird the guy fell in love with this kid while then kid was probably in middle school it seemed like? At least he was responsible about it and didnt act on his feelings until the kid was an adult. 4/10 Ch 4-5: Some oneshots about a couple from a different story. Ngl, they're cute I guess but I'm not into their dynamic. 5/10 Overall 5/0 name on MAL is Houteokenai Aitsu ni Tsuite

The relationship was pretty cute but the uke's powers randomly evolving and then disappearing was just... random and didnt really do anything besides manufacture conflict that didnt develop any of the characters. 5/10

Cliche BL plot with handsome office worker x equally handsome construction worker. Very standard 5/10

Hot neighbor needs a place to stay due to flooding and our uke awkwardly offers his place. Uke is unfortunately a massive fundanshi with an overactive imagination, and keeps fantasizing about getting fucked raw by the hot neighbor that is now in his house. Cliche drama happens and they end up together and fuck. 5/10

Don't have much thoughts here. Shy, insecure, college aged uke x popular sitcom high schooler seme. No reason the seme couldnt also be a college student? Kinda weird he was a high school kid. Anyway. Pretty standard popular x unpopular dynamic (not a bad thing) 5/10

Just some old school yaoi, just a bunch of noncon fucking ¤_¤7 5/10 i guess

The fact that they had this miscommunication for so long drove me nuts and even when they met, it just felt clumsy. Mm. 5/10

Pretty cute, the romance part kinda just happens bc they put leading man and leading man in the same room for multiple days, so I wasnt really feeling that part. But I like that the uke has a talent outside of being a rental boy cuz often BLs about sex workers who get out of sex work find themselves completely dependent on the rich seme, which makes me nervous. Uh 5/10?

Lil oneshot about two girls living together as their individual lives grow and differ. Because it's a oneshot, there's not much room to explore the actually pretty interesting character dynamic of two lifelong friends (to lovers) and how their relationship changes as their lives change. Would love to see a long, deeper dive into that So yeah 5/10, I have no thoughts. The girls did suffer from not looking their age as always, so I'm docking points for that. One day. One day my anime women will actually look like women

Ngl, thought the scent kink would be.... more. Goes to show how much pwp I've been reading. They're cute. I have no real thoughts 5/10
