stressedpenguin's manga / #Reencounter(80)

Nope! 1/10 for me

story 1: dolphin trainers falling in love with hints of supernatural? unsatisfying ending story 2: college guy (seme) runs into a beautiful astronomy buff (uke). uke is a sex addict. there's some very dubcon stuff with another guy and everything ends. 5/10 name on MAL is Yokujou Aquarium

Somehow, this didn't feel like a lot happened in it, just a lot of sex and some drama that they resolve via communication like mature adults. I was kinda bored tho, idk if that's just me. I think it's because we don't really get to see the uke doing anything but getting fucked. Like where does he work? I read this like 30 minutes ago but I think I forgot everything.... 5/10

Honestly don't feel much for this one. Russian spy has to infiltrate the russian mafia by getting close to an old friend. Turns out the friend knew all along that he was a spy and he spends half a chapter in confinement before we find put his superior is a traitor and then hes free. Then we get 2 chapters of will they wont they with spy / mafia drama and then we end with them getting together despite being literal enemies in Russia because that would totally work Also ed stuffed his cat in a bag and then chucked it out a train window at Ivan and we're just gonna ignore that I guess 5/10

Ch 4 is super censored and ch 5 isnt translated... why... Alpha guy is scared of interacting with omegas bc he raped one when he as young. then he meets a confident omega prostitute who's determined to help him through his trauma. was surprisingly wholesome and consensual, which is rare for an omegaverse 6/10

first story about the plain guy in the poly relationship was... not bad, surprisingly. second story was also pretty good. guy has a voice kink 5/10

Stressed out salaryman (uke) being overworked at a black company suddenly runs into a kid, now grown up, he knew back in middle school (seme). Seme asks to move in temporarily while his boss, who he lives with, is in the hospital. Watching Hiro be stressed and worn down mentally by that job was starting to stress ME out (⋟﹏⋞). Shotout to Kaneko, his team lead or smth, for encouraging him to quit and pointing out just how badly the chief has twisted his image of himself. Kai's life was also sad af, just neglect after neglect, and it shows so clearly through his mindset. I really liked the old guy who took him. Also props to the son for recognizing what a shitty thing he did and genuinely apologizing for it. I liked a lot about this story, but the ending was just unsatisfying. It feels abrupt and like it didn't solve the underlying issues. Hiro quits his jobs, which I was rooting for. But Kai just abandons the old man who's cared for him for the past 5 or 6 years. There's nothing wrong with Kai moving on, I just wanted some scene with the old guy where he talks about it, so we can resolve that plot thread. idk. This was almost a 9; the ending brought it down to a 7; Kaneko, the old man, and the son brought it back up to an 8/10

Uhh started as a pwp massage therapist fucks his patients, but then it introduces like the seme's past lover (a sports guy who quit sports bc a sports injury) and some angst, but because of the genre switch (pwp to drama) and bc we didnt follow the story from the start, the angst does not hit. 4/10

Standard oneshot reencounter story about a guy who got a cum on face fetish after doing just that to his friend in middle school. They reunite. They fuck. 5/10

Why was this the stupidest thing I've read in a while. The seme is actually crazy. He hears it once that his crush likes a fictional character and spends 8 FUCKIN YEARS perfecting his new personality and lifestyle and everything??? That's so creepy dude. 2/10
