stressedpenguin's manga / #light drama(47)

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...

Uke is shy and withdrawn bc people are homophobic assholes. Then he starts sleeping with his neighbor kinda by accident and gets attached and the neighbor is actually kinda really nice. Theres a bit of angst cuz, again, people are homophobic assholes. Then a happy ending. Tbh, I just finished this 5 min ago and cant remember all that much. Feels like nothing much happens. They fall in love in a month so their relationship is really underdeveloped. Art was clean tho ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 5 or 6/10

Oh interesting! It's so rare to find such a niche profession be the main focus of a manga much less a BL. Personally, I've never gotten boke-tsukkomi humor, but it's super refreshing to see it here. These two guys meet at a comedian training camp of sorts and form a duo. Most of the plot is pretty standard, but I did like the serious-silly dynamic. I have no idea how to tag this Overall, 6/10

Last read ch 3. Way too short to fo anything with that premise but not a bad one. Uke likes his friend, confessed, gets a bad reaction. He finds a Love Note notebook and starts writing all his fiery fantasies in it but then his crush starts acting them out, and then it turns out the seme likes him back and has been reading the notebook. 4/10

The title is basically the summary. Tbh I dont think either of them should be stuck with the jobs they had. They seemed pretty dang unhappy and the paparazzi in general is a stain on this earth. Subaru's manager suuuuucked. WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE DOESNT NEED A PRIVATE LIFE?!?! Predatory as HELL. Subaru and the seme were cute and smexy but the general story just pissed me off 6/10

kudos for having a polyamorous relationship. not my thing but eh it was alright 6/10

Slutty uke is determined to get the hot virgin seme hard, succeeds, and they fuck every day. Was not that into the story or characters or smut... so basically the whole thing idk. Plus thrnlast minute drama was annoying 4/10, not offensive I guess

Yall I was bawling when they took the photos with Jisoo's dad and then again at the end. I love that this story wanted to tell you how important photos are without ever saying it out loud. I loved this one. Only two gripes honestly: 1) Jin Yi Kwon was very pushy about sex. Although they did say Jisoo liked it, it did start out feeling like he just couldn't say no. Still better than 80% of manhwa anyway. Shout out to consensual sex. 2) like 80% of the story, Jisoo and Kwon only interact with each other. I always wanna see more friendships so we know these two aren't reliant on just each other. But again this was better that 80% of manhwa on that front too. Super sweet albeit very painful. You know how it's going to end but that doesnt make it less painful. But I'm happy for them all. I bawled like a baby 7 or 8/10

Teasing office guy (uke) notices his normaly stoic coworker (seme) has a crush on him and they start going out. Seme is very pure and wants to at least have one date before sex. Yeah this was boring for me. Generically cute. Very standard plot. Very standard family drama that gets resolved in one conversation. Very standard "it's all thanks to you." ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 5/10. Would've been a 4 for being boring but the relationship is pretty healthy and consensual
