stressedpenguin's manga / #drama(101)

Dropped at ch 30. Slow, kinda janky pacing. Not a lot happens and scenes felt repetitive to me. Host plot feels forced for the sake a drama, which there was plenty of with just the filming crew. Coulda done a lot with that without the weird rapey host plot idk. 2 or 3/10

Dropped at ch 30. Wow this is all over the place. The pacing's a mess. The timeline is a mess. We keep going into flashbacks at seemingly random times. The seme turns out to be a possessive creep who's very blatantly manipulating and trying to isolate the uke. Like everyone knows thus butntheyre all going along with it? The only interesting bit about this was the mysterious book which kinda winds up being irrelevant by the end? This story was pretty inchohesive and a little incoherent at times. Also, minor nitpick but why tf did the names change from Korean to English names? That was confusing. Nah this sucked. 2/10

I read this once a while ago. I remember very little. It was okay? 5/10

I think the uke's annoying voice from the anime is influencing my dislike this, not I honestly didnt like either character and the seme was really pushy and possessive 4/10

Dropped at ch 6. Man they spent so much time going back and forth and back and forth I really wanted to smack them. The relationship between all of them is something you dont often see although it definitely seems like Nao and Ryo used the threesome to get Chika involved. Idk, this was pretty dramatic and a lil frustrating personally 5/10. Just not the story for me.

last read ch 17 it's been 9 chapters. how many times are shitty exes from the past gonna rape the uke =_= update ch 15. more contrived drama =_= name on MAL is Koisuru Bitch no Toroana Jijou

i don't remember much other than it was okay? 5 or 6/10

last read v2 ch 10. Idk if theres more but I think I'm good here. Update ch 5. uh, so... so far the seme is adorable and the uke has very sexy, power bottom vibes... but we gonna talk about the creepy pedophile crap that definitely didn't need to be in this story like at all? Update ch 10. Glad he turned down the creep cus I could smell the isolation and emotional abuse a mile away. The seme is such a sweet guy and I would love this story so much more without the creep. Final verdict: 6/10

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

Story felt like a frayed rope being held together at each end. A lot of things happen, like they jump from case to case with very little explanation. 90% of the story is just close-ups on people's faces so it's really hard to get a bearing on where anyone is. Theres a scene where they're rescuing some kid from a building and they have to jump from one balcony to the other... and it never shows us the balcony or the characters mid air. Really weird. The drama was repetitive. One of them will say "don't get hurt'" and then get hurt. Every. Single. Time. Like, it's cute that they care about each other but man, it's so predictable, it's boring. The emotional drama of Miro liking Ian keeps getting interrupted and we also know Ian likes him bc this is a BL so of course he does. There's no question about it and it's not set up well enough so by the confession I was like who cares just get over with. 4/10. It's not bad, just not good and I got irritated reading it
