stressedpenguin's manga / #misunderstanding(36)

I frickin love this series. Lots of cliche bits but so fluffy and domestic and cute aaaaaaaahhhhhh. Now I want a spin off for Hidaka. 7 or 8/10 Series order: 1) Renai Nante Yurushimasen 2) Netsuai Nante Ariemasen 3) Dekai Nante Mitomemasen

Guy who loves hamsters finds out his kendo rival can turn into a hamster. It's pretty cute overall, a bit wacky, but in a fun way. There's the slightest smidgeon of drama and then a happy ending. (They never explained why he transforms into a hamster tho...) 5/10

The angst is strong with this one. Seme took advantage of uke's break up back in high school. They started a messy friends with benefits relationship until they graduated. Seme was and still is in love with the uke. Four years later, uke seeks out the seme and they have a lot of angsty back and forths. There's a fine line between understandable, character-driven drama and annoying, unrealistic miscommunication plots. This manga walks that line. It works just well enough and the characters are just forgivable enough that I could indulge in the angst without wanting to peel my face off over the fact that neither of them bothered to clarify their relationship for like, what, 1 year? 2 years? 6/10

So many misundsrstandings =_= Bro this uke cannot just TALK about his goddamn feelings. The constant back and forth was beyond frustrating. So these two guys are dating, just moved in with each other, and cant talk about romance stuff without the uke freaking out and running away or jumping to conclusions. And then the SEME jumps to conclusions all the time and UGGGGHHHHHHHH 3/10.

Dropped at ch 27. Uke can see auras and apparently plays match maker for other people based on the aura compatibility and then the token hot guy shows up and ooh he has a special aura or whatever. The drama feels so manufactured. Like the story goes out of its way to keep the main couple from talking when there needs to be drama. Tbh I was kinda bored the whole time. Idk. 4/10

Everyone gets character development! and there are so many little funny moments. I thought I wasn't gonna like the young master kid but he turned out great after a bit of character development and Riichi learning to stop spoiling him. Art is CLEAN and the story is cute. 7/10

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

Could be more but I think ch 5 was the end. Story feels like it's really glossing over some things that need to be explored. MC clearly has issues about his wife dying. The thing with kataoka's mom is so... weird and mysterious. Also really annoyed me that Kataoka would kiss MC whenever MC was talking about trauma like dude this is not the time? Stop thinking about your own feelings. The kid was cute yeah but he also felt like a prop bc the story only barely touches on his own feelings. Still better than some other BL family stories but not great. Overall, 4/10 it's not actually bad just annoyed me

Two childhood friends mutually and unknowingly manipulate each other into a...romantic relationship. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Okay that turned out surprisingly wholesome??? They actually talked it out and the seme apologized for being a manipulative jerk? I was not expecting that. 6/10. Normally this kinda twisted melodrama annoying the crap outta me but this one turns out surprisingly good O_O

Its just drama cuz miscommunication cuz people here dunno how conversations work. VERY weird that the uke was so into the seme while the seme was literally a child. Uh. Overall thoughts: smutty and dumb? Didnt really like anyone here but the brother... ಠ_ಠ is chapter 4???? Who swapped all their heads and why???? 4/10
