stressedpenguin's manga / #i cried over this(33)

This is so sweet and fluffy AAAAAAHHHHH I love everything about this. Kazuma and Chiaki have been daring since high school. Suddenly their childhood friend Tomoe turns up pregnant and then asks them to care for the kid while she goes on a humanitarian trip. Its irresponsible of her, but the whole situation just works. Kazuma and chiaki are amazing dads and Tomoe still manages to be a good mom if an unconventional one. The whole story is kinda about them raising the kid together, all three of them, in their own weird adorable way. And they have lots of support from family and friends. I love it. 9/10

this one has a kinda sorrowful, lonely vibe to it, so it's super comforting when the two move in together. very atmospheric. 9/10

last read ch 73. Very fluffy slice of life about a tokutatsu villain taking is weekly day off. Mans loves pandas, which is a massive mood. It's silly and cute and then it hits you with the rangers and suddenly the tone is like... haunting. I'm absolutely loving this (no romance so far!)

this is how you do healthy, kinky relationships. 9/10

Second story really got me man, all the tropes I love to death. First story (1-3): two friends watch porn together, get horny, and jack off together and it becomes a habit. they figure out they like each other Second story (4-7): gay hs kid (uke) is in love with his best friend and is jealous best friend (seme) is in love with this girl. uke finds out the girl likes seme and confesses, but he backtracks by pretending he's passing on a confession from the girl seme likes. seme can't stop thinking about uke's confession and after much good angst they get together. 9/10 for me

wasn't expecting to tear up over this but i did. closet gay gets durnk with his high school buddies before they all split. his crush, also a closet gay, takes him home and rapes him (drunks can't consent yall, why is that so hard to comprehend) and feelings are messy. MC can't bring himself to come out and acts like nothing happened. They split on bad terms but reunite in adulthood when the MC is spilling his guts to the kind people at a gay bar. it's a one shot but somehow had enough room for everything to happen. ima give this an 8/10

Yknow hanahaki used to be my favorite fanfiction trope so this was right up my alley. A mailman falls in love with an enigmatic flower vendor. One day while delivering a letter to the vendor's house, the mailman stumbles upon a secret. Where do all those out of season flowers come from? Very sweet and slower than the usually BL speedruns. Hard to really call this "smut." Its more like lovingly sweet sex. 8/10

Kid is working hard at a job to buy smth for his bf only to find out his bf is cheating. Falls in love with the cool manager dude at work. Also motorcycles! Cute, slow burn kinda story. I'm changing my rating after a reread. The sense of passing time is incredible. The story and characters feel very real. The ins and outa of the jobs he works are shown and I love the scene when kipper reveals he bought a bike too. The impact was so sweet. Final verdict: 9/10

it's so cliche but i'm a sucker for this storyline. 5/10 but its a 10 in my heart. ultimate comfort cry.

Bl I can talk about A hero who cant control his strength and is super naive goes to live with the demon king because that's the only place that will take him. So far it's been cute and interesting. The art can be hard to read. Update: THATS IT?!?!? NOOOOOOOOO Ayo that was too short. I wanna see more of them bruhhhh Again, the art can be messy and hard to read so sometimes I was a bit lost but I liked the characters and the whole section where the hero guy dies is super sad. Was gonna give this a 7 but the art style and story is so unique ima bump it up to a solid 8/10.
