stressedpenguin's manga / #kinda melancholy(44)

wish there wasn't... such an uncomfortable age gap bc they're kinda sweet. also why the rape -_- They really brushing off the fact that he got gangraped? final verdict: 3/10 even tho it was actually pretty good

Really wish the two in the alternate world got together too. dark haired guy seems so lonely. this one kinda made me sad... 7 or 8/10

Really interesting concept. The only thing I wish was different was that they both had friends outside of each other. That's a common problem with romance stories. The story-telling in this was fascinating. We saw the first chapter and then again with more context and then again with a different perspective. Really well done. Solid 9/10 story

7/10. it was good but minus points cuz the ending was so unsatisfying. it feels like nothing get resolved.

kinda tragic somehow? 4/10

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

Suit shop and kimono shop. 6/10

I am in hurt. The drama between these two is so painful but it feels so real, as in it's a result of the characters own flaws rather than a contrivance created by the author. I loved that the guys design job actually had an impact on his life and it wasnt just a back drop. Solid 8/10. Would give it a 9 but I actually didnt really like it because it left me with such a bitter taste

Wish they'd figures out why he time traveled but otherwise the story is okay. Pretty standard drama despite the time travel plot 5/10

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
