stressedpenguin's manga / #consensual sex(38)

WARNING: mentions of suicide. Feels incomplete. I wanna know more about Mike's past, what he did for work, what he's gonna do now that he's quit that work. What about Ethan? Man's in a bad place even if he acts like everything's fine. This is such a small slice of their lives. I wanna see more (‡▼益▼) 8 ot 9/10

Pickpocket (seme) gets caught by a no nonsense retired cop (uke) and is forced to do some manual labor. To retaliate, he breaks into the uke's house but pa icks and leaves when he finds out the man's a retired cop. Then he finds out the uke's got PTSD after finding his partner dead in his house and that's why he quit. The distressed expressions in this are so good; I know that's a weird thing to say, but they do angst so well in this. There's genuine character development for both characters despite this being so short. The drama of the reveal is 10/10 angst without been dark or twisted or depressing. I just wish there was more to explore the semes relationship with his friends and rhe ukes relationship with HIS friends and his trauma. As a minor note, the seme's hair is on point Story wise, I'd give this a 7 but the art is so frickin clean and fluid it gets bumped up to an 8 so 8/10

The seme's family is doing this man DIRTY keeping him isolated and kinda socially inept but forcing him to be a puppet head company prez. Listen, a friendly, puppy-like supermodel would still look great on the family resume, what's wrong with that?? That aside, the relationship is overall cute? But kinda weird cuz the seme is so isolated from everything. The uke is a good guy and I like that he does stuff like picking away at home dates so the seme can be himself. But like. The real problem is that the seme fan only be himself... in isolation... so like... this is just sad. I'm stuck on this whole isolation thing. 4/10? I'm docking points for the poor seme.

It's surprisingly wholesome and consensual. Shoe shop employee (seme) with a leg fetish realised the part timer (uke) has his ideal feet. Seme lowkey attacks the uke but the uke is very into and they start a relationship but the seme is conflicted bc he doesnt know if hes in love with the uke or just his legs. Things happen, they split then reunite later and we get our happily ever after. the absolutely random story in ch 5 has romanticized molestation in a train and a bit or victim blaming. Overall verdict: 6/10

6/10

This one's a super sweet. The characters are so well written, the story feels grounded and realistic. Their job is an actual part of the plot and the manga shows specifics about their work. THS SEME ACTUALLY STOPS AND ASKS WHAT'SWRONG WHEN THE UKE SAYS NO AND STOP DURING SEX. Very sweet. 9/10

uke does feel anything with sexual stimuli and his friend the seme offers to train his body. surprisingly consensual albeit weird. 5/10

we lookin at a size queen here? It's cute and smutty and surprisingly wholesome? 7/10

I liked this one. It somehow felt like a slow burn even tho it's just one volume. Also consensual sex! And the uke is clearly into it 7/10

not into the uke but consensual sex so
