stressedpenguin's manga / #Kid(35)

HAHA yessss FINALLY a story that focuses on the kid! Too bad it's short. 10/10 adorableness. I want more about this kid, hes a riot. It's too short to really give a rating but eh fuck it. 9/10! And a 10/10 in my heart.

dropped at ch 10? another one where there's a kid but the kid literally is treated like an object.

"I can't believe it's not incest" What... wat... nahh bro that's trash. The man just moves in with TWINS and dumps the kids on BIL. The only good thing this dickhead does is threaten to get the rapist daycare guy arrested but then the BIL is like nah??? And the sister is trash too 1/10

Uke's entire family died in a tragic accident, and now it's just him and his nephew trying to survive life together. The hot and mysterious guy running a small restaurant in the town they move to takes in interest in them and they start building a relationship. The overall tone is melancholy as all three main characters are suffering from painful experiences, and it's sweet how they fumble through supporting each other in their developing relationships. There's some angst, some drama, and some ghosting, and there's a This story gets two big pluses from me: 1) The kid actually has agency. He's not used as a plot device. The story takes him seriously; it doesn't do that thing where they just call him cute and ignore that he's a real person with real feelings. Still looking for a story where the adults validate even the silly things kids get upset over because... like it's silly to us but very impactful to them and--I'm getting worked up lol. Anyway, this story did the kid justice. 2) The single mom the uke makes friends with is amazing and feels like a real person. For all the degrading the seme did of women, I was worried this would be another BL where everyone woman is shitty. But this mom was incredible and her handling of her son was incredible. I know this is like almost the bare minimum, but I'm happy to see it. Also a plus is the sex is consensual. Aside from the somewhat dubious bit because alcohol, the seme doesn't force the uke into anything sexual. I appreciate it. This is an 8/10. Would be 6/10 but it gets +2 for the kid and mom friend

That's not a child, that's a blob. Anyway, ngl I kinda skimmed rather than read this one after ch 2. There wasn't a lot of substance. The romantic drama was repetitive. The child was more of a prop than a real person, which is typical but still lame. And the sister only exists in theory. This wasnt it for me. 3/10 name on MAL is Danshikousei-teki Kazoku Keikaku

Uke is a teacher in training even tho he doesn't like kids. For some reason he gets forced to move in with this other teacher guy and starts to fall for him. There's a bit of drama about the seme's past and then they kiss and confess. Uh. So like they really just glossed over that bombshell traumatic past... like they really pulled a "hey thanks for telling me about your traumatic past where you got assaulted by your teacher and then your friend went psycho and stabbed him and for some reason you had to take the fall for all of that. By the way I love you and your trauma is now irrelevant" Also the kids were like 99% irrelevant Uh. 6/10? name on MAL is Aozora Wars

Melodramatic omegaverse worh all the tragic tropes tossed in for good measure. Ukes omega parent was abandoned by their alpha and sold their body for money until they committed suicide. The alpha seme is super persistent and the story never validates the omegas very valid hatred of alphas. Geez these kids need therapy. 4/10 I guess for the lil kiddos who were just living their lives

Handsome super top falls in love with the fluffy, mellow newcomer at work and decides to bottom for the first time . They're very cute and domestic. There's pretty much no drama. There's also a 6 yr time skip but it doesn't really feel like much changed. The second story with the dads was like.... stop fucking where your kids can see you,!??!?!? Anyway, over all 7/10

Ch 1-2: delinquent who's trying very hard not to be a delinquent falls for a guy with a cute face. They both suck at communicating and it takes several meetings (and several slaps) for them to figure out they like each other. The uke turns out is super into the seme but also a mega tsundere Ch 3-5: uke's lover ditched him five years ago. During those five years, uke had a kid with a woman who then died. Uke's shitty ex lover returns and forced his way into uke's life again. I cannot stand the seme. He completely disregards the ukes wants and feelings in every conversation. He's manipulative and a bum too. He's got zero respect for the uke. This guy sucks Ch 6-7: Vocalist for a band is suddenly kissed by the bassist and freaks out. Vocalist is also obsessed with the bassists playing, so even though he'd freaked out by the kiss, he winds up getting together with the bassist in the end. The bassist has a pretty shitty, cold, manipulative attitude, so wasnt a fan Overall 3 or 4/10

Uke isnt aware hes in love with the seme who he thinks is in love with the uke's uncle. Seme at first says hes using the uke as a replacement for the uncle and then backtracks but that didnt feel like a lie so mmmm... Theres a significant age gap although the uke is at least an adult (barely, still gets an allowance), and its even weirder bc seme has been in love with him since the uke was in middle school? There is also a kid who's basically unrelated to the story and just there for cuteness eye candy. Not that into kids especially when they're just there to be cute, so that's minus points for me tbh Overall... 4/10? Something about this one was just... mmm?
