Ch 1: seme wants to have sex with his partner to confirm their love but the uke firmly shuts him down every time. Turns out he was insecure about the seme seeing his man body and getting turned off. Which... the seme is gay for you what are you on bro??? Anyway the seme is very pushy and the uke is dumb as hell 4/10 Ch 2-3: Socially clumsy, endearing boss x employee that takes on too much responsibility. Cute and comfortable. 7/10 Ch 4: Guy's senpai impulsively moves in with him and likes monopolizing his time but also kinda feels guilty so he winds up running away. Honestly, despite the premise mot being my thing, twas cute. 7/10 Ch 5-6: Guy somehow stumbles into a lopsided relationship with his expressionless kouhai (?). Kouhai doesn't really get how romantic feelings work and it causes a rift but they're able to kinda sorta maybe???? figure things out. This is a very bad summary, it's good I promise. 7/10 Ch 7: short follow ups with some of the couples Overall: 7/10

That was strange. The author wanted the drama of "dont talk to me anymore" but didn't want to actually split the characters up. So what we get in the first two chapters is a toxic noncon relationship where the seme forces the uke at every turn. Then tells him to stay away which makes the seme sad for plot reasons, and then they're immediately paired together for the remainder of the series just... slightly nicer??? Nah. 3/10

Was cute but also just felt like I was going through the motions of a popular seme x friends to lovers BL, like it was just checking boxes? Idk 4/10 for me on this one

That... did not go the direction I thought it would and then also wasn't that... great. Bruh I'd be devastated if the one really good friend I thought I had turned out to be a paid guardian from my parents. The man got PAID to befriend him. I wouldn't trust a single thing out of this man's mouth after I found that out. Idk. The execution of this plot was a little sloppy, the characters didn't quite behave like real people in a story that definitely seemed like they should, and I kinda just didn't care post reveal 4/10
