stressedpenguin's manga / #8/10(76)

Ch 1: A aspiring writer working as a bell hoy has a one night stand with a visiting model and falls in love despite himself. Ch 2: The son of some important person has been kidnapped by a group of terrorists. He's attracted to the gruff guy lowkey in charge of him but it's just not meant to be. 8/10

That cant be it. No way that's it. We were just getting started. Jonathan is a med student just tryna live his life. He and his professor, the affluent Paul Haskins, take turns seducing each other, getting on each others nerves, and dancing endlessly around their almost lovers relationship. A lot of the conflict centers around honesty, being honest with others but and to yourself. The characters dredge up old, painful memories and have to grapple with a very homophobic, rich people culture that just... [insert sigh here] Update ch 8.5. ??????? The... the alternate ending feels like it resolved even less????? It was good. 8/10

Two high schoolers explore what it means to be a dom / sub pair. I like that they talk things out and they're careful. They always ask consent before doing anything new. I like this one! 8/10

bigger uke. i don't remember anything. gave it a 6/10 so i guess it just wasn't memorable to me. EDIT: past me was dumb. This is adorable bro. Salaryman uke has mad anxiety about sex and has had his confidence horribly eroded by a previous boss. After he meets the outgoing call boy and starts "practicing sex" hes able to talk to his coworkers for the first time and it's really, really sweet. The seme has a bit of a possessive streak, but hes mostly just supportive and encouraging and sweet. Also shoutout to the scary boss lady for immediately apologizing for being cranky at him for her own mistake. 8/10

Was expecting this to be cliche, but it's actually tor a lot of depth. The characters have some interesting conversations that make this feel almost like a character study. Tsuzuki (seme) feels like your usual perfect popular seme but he's got more substance to him that I cant describe. Hanaura feels like your usual gloomy, outcast uke but you actually get ro see his inner thoughts and piece together why he is the way he is. I frickin love this 8/10

niiiice. i love the supporting cast! the main couple is cute and the plot is solid. art is unique, which is always a treat. 9/10

Cuuuuuuute. The prequel kinda the other dog-shifter story. Very cute and fluffy. 8/10 I like this one. 2nd story is a cute one about a cheerful painter (like wall paint not artist) x gloomy accountant

Sweet afterstory oneshot from Living With Him! We get to see some sweet, loving sex >///<. I love these two!!

Guy who's afraid of dogs gets sent to work in an office full of dog-shifters. He gets over his fear, helps the dog-shifters get over THEIR fears of humans, and falls in love. 7 or 8/10
