stressedpenguin's manga / #mangaka(12)

It's alright. No substance just kinda stuff happening and bam their love is mutual and then bam they have sex and yeah. Kinda speed ran some tropes and didn't establish any real connection considering their basically strangers. 5/10?

ch 1-4: bl mangaka gets fucked by his fundashi assistant ch 5-6: incubus 5/10

Haha that was cute. 6/10

Starts like a sekaiichi hatsukoi knock off and then becomes every standard cliche, so 5/10

So the uke was just gonna sleep with the other guy no problem?? Man I do not like the uke. Seme was also kinda annoying. Relationship is unbalanced cuz the uke is an M but the seme isnt an S. 3/10

Last read ch 4. Kinda like a weather man sugar daddy. They're both dumb. That was a silly miscommunication but I guess it was okay. Update ch 3. UH NOPE WTF the seme is apparently just straight up keeping the uke confined there by emotional manipulation and now that's not working so hes turning to physical confinement???? WAT

Huh. Okay I didn't really feel much while reading this one. The seme confessing was almost a surprise for me. Uke gave me almost aro / ace vibes with his complete lack of interest in the romantic part of the date and general not understanding romance, but that's just me projecting. The seme put a lot of effort into their relationship, but the uke barely reciprocated at all. Everything was for research. Yknow... it's kinda bugging me know. He barely seemed to think about the seme at all ever, even when they split up. He seemed so lonely but part of me wonders of a romantic relationship was the answer, or if he was just lacking in close friends outside his brother. Like, when the seme finds him alone and he finally starts reciprocating the seme's feelings, I didn't feel like he was actually in love. It almost felt more like... he was relieved someone was thinking about him, romantically or not. In the end, their relationship still felt one sided to me. So I wound up feeling kinda.. empty when I finished this. Idk. Not sure how to rate this one. I feel so conflicted about it. Hmm 4/10? 8/10?

I need a full volume about about these two

Really liked this one although I wish they had told the two couples stories in blocks instead of jumping between them. It was a little distracting and less satisfying. Now I really wanna read the story within the story, but perhaps its better as just brief glimpses. This had a really strong bittersweet vibe despite the endings for both couples being very lighthearted. 8/10
