stressedpenguin's manga / #friends to lovers(96)

Two guys get isekai'd into a bl game. The uke has to fall in love and fuck someone before they can get out. He spends the whole time bouncing btwn the game's love interests and his friend and being too nervous or smth to get with the friend. Then they resolve the emotional issue, confess, fuck, get back to their own world, and immediately recreate almost the same love triangle drama. These characters were hella annoying. 2/10

Last read ch 4. Uke is still cheerful and optimistic despite his shitty home life and I'm really rooting for him to get out. For whatever reason, I just wasnt that into this, but ita still sweet and heartwarming. 6/10

Ch 1-2: Seme and uke used to be kissing buddies until it goes a little too far and the uke runs away to tokyo. They meet 10 years later and kinda sort things out. Also lmao "trauma-source-kun" Ch 3-5: two childhood friends, one the loner type and the other the outgoing type, split after high school. It's a whole mess when they reunite 5 years later. Overall ima give this a 6/10. The art almost makes me wanna make it a 7, but the stories were too short for much development

A good ol' friends to lovers unrequited love story. Seme catches his friend masturbating while calling his name and doesnt know how to act, but slowly starts to realise his own feelings. Theres some more angst and drama as the uke straight up moves countries to avoid talking it out. The ending is kinda abrupt and I didnt really feel like they resolved the problem but overall it was good. 7/10. Id actually give it a 6, but I like this mangaka's art a lot so...

Cute! Lowkey yakuza seme is In love with his airhead childhood friend. Childhood friend suddenly announces he wants to be seme's mistress and they start fucking weekly. These two idiots are in love but just don't know it. I like their origin story too, very cute and wholesome Good 6 or 7/10

Read this a while ago so memory is a bit hazy. Seme's long time friend (uke) rapes him and confesses his feelings before one of them is leaving or smth? And it hangs over both of them until the reunite later and then there's drama? I dunno 3 or 4/10 I think? I don't care to reread this one. I remember disliking it

Story 1: Average guy's old classmate-- who's had a major glow up from chubby kid to prince--is now his new, more popular coworker. Average guy days he was only nice to the seme because it made him feel superior, but tbh for a kid in elementary school that's genuine kindness. Kids are pretty self centered at that stage so it's good that helping someone else makes him feel good about himself. Average guy has been kind all along Story 2: uhhh I gotta come back cuz I've already forgotten but i remember it was good! 6 or 7/10

Dropped at ch 3. A little friends to lovers story that starts because they keep kissing each other as an joke and then it stops being a joke and romantic feelings are happening Having a hard time getting into this one partly because its older -/10

Nope! His friend rapes him and we pretend that's not a crime??? Also they're fake dating whole the uke is actually dating someone else? Also, maybe it's just me, but it seems like the uke's hearing loss is pretty inconsistent?? Sometimes he can't hear himself singing and others he can hear someone calling his name from far away? Idk if he just didn't have his hearing aids for the singing thing or smth. I don't know how hearing impairments work, I'm so sorry if this is wildly ignorant Overall, pretty standard. 3/10

Ch 1-3: Plain, outcast uke x hot popular seme who are childhood friends and the seme has been totally in love with the uke the whole time. This is perhaps the most cliche way to do this trope. Theres some drama that leaned heavily on the uke's insecurity, but honestly, I enjoyed it. Its very like... meal well made? Comfort food? Ch 4-5: uhhh I'll be honest i dont remember much about the second story. It's another popular seme x not popular uke. Uke has a big family. Seme has a touch home life and takes refuge in teasing the uke. It's fine. Overall 5/10 but still enjoyable
