stressedpenguin's manga / #neighbors(26)

Collection of short stories, all pretty cute but kinda unsatisfying to me. Also didnt really feel like the zodiac part was relevant most of the time but tbh I know nothing about astrology so im assuming all these characters were their astrology stereotypes. Idk. 5/10

Uke and seme were friends for a short while as kids Uke moves away but comes back some years later in high school. He's cold and shy around the seme and his friends but they eventually bumbled their way into friendship and bumbled their way into a romantic relationship. Has slow burn vibes even tho it's very not slow burn. Had a 10/10 grandma who apparently makes bomb fried chicken 7/10

guy blackmails his neighbor but turns out the neighbor planted the blackmail material in the first place cuz he wanted to be blackmailed so... consensual??? kinda fucked up either way

guy's straight neighbor comes over and they jerk each other off

Last read ch 4. Uke is still cheerful and optimistic despite his shitty home life and I'm really rooting for him to get out. For whatever reason, I just wasnt that into this, but ita still sweet and heartwarming. 6/10

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Uke is shy and withdrawn bc people are homophobic assholes.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

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

Guy cant without his perfect pillow. Turns out his slutty neighbors bubble butt works great

Last read ch 4. Ch 1-3: Seme moves next door to his childhood crush and discovers his grumpy lookin crush wants to be fucked in the ass. Hmm. The seme really just forced his feelings on the uke and had acted like they're exclusive when the uke has very explicitly rejected that. I know at the end it's oh it's okay because the uke is actually in love too but that just does sit well with me. Ending was real cute tho Ch 4-5: Anxious uke befriends. the popular seme who actually cant handle girls. Seme pressures him into jacking off together. Its framed cute but he DID pressure him even after saying he doesnt like when girls come on to him... so... I mean, it didn't seem THAT bad, but just kinda irked me the whole time? Overall 4/10 for annoying me I guess
