stressedpenguin's manga / #puppy seme(24)

WARNING: mentions of suicide. Feels incomplete. I wanna know more about Mike's past, what he did for work, what he's gonna do now that he's quit that work. What about Ethan? Man's in a bad place even if he acts like everything's fine. This is such a small slice of their lives. I wanna see more (‡▼益▼) 8 ot 9/10

The seme's family is doing this man DIRTY keeping him isolated and kinda socially inept but forcing him to be a puppet head company prez. Listen, a friendly, puppy-like supermodel would still look great on the family resume, what's wrong with that?? That aside, the relationship is overall cute? But kinda weird cuz the seme is so isolated from everything. The uke is a good guy and I like that he does stuff like picking away at home dates so the seme can be himself. But like. The real problem is that the seme fan only be himself... in isolation... so like... this is just sad. I'm stuck on this whole isolation thing. 4/10? I'm docking points for the poor seme.

Dropped at ch 2. Was expecting the demon to be like.. actually scary and, y'know, competent? Useless puppy semes are fine, just not my cup of tea. I'll pass on this one -/10, cant rate

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

Dunno this one felt like your standard persist seme chasing the uninterested uke whonremains uninterested until like 1 chapter from the end when the seme finally leaves him alone for this reason or the other and suddenly the uke realizes he likes the same back so they get together for real. The end. Also apparently this is a sequel and the uke is a piece of shit in the other one. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Wasnt into it. 4/10

Landlord guy takes in a younger college kid who immediately takes a shine to him (and his cooking) and confesses. Landlord guy has some hang ups about an ex and initially rejects him, but he's persistent and they wind up together in the end .Kinda skimmed this one despite my best efforts to actually read it. Dunno, just didn't grip me at all. Maybe I'm just not into puppy semes ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 5/10

Dropped at ch 9. Dude the seme is so annoying I feel bad for sun woo name on MAL is Puss in Suit, Pup in Tie

Uhhh broke guy gets a part time job testing VR sex toys and doesn't realize his sexy employer is actually sucking him off 5/10?

Cute lil oneshot about a guy who just cant stand watching the popular guy at school eat non nutritious food and start cooking for him Lmao he's so dramatic refusing to eat if it's not from Mizuno (Also realizing I dont have a tag for a general popular x not popular for when seme uke dynamics aren't established....) 6/10

Dropped at ch 53. I cant explain it, but it's like the story is hiding... Characters sometimes reference moments or past drama that I've been expecting to be revealed, but I'm 50 chapters in and it's only ever been hinted at and it feels like at going to be a long long time before anything is clearly explained, if that ever happens. People keep dropping hints and hints and hints that *something* has or is happening, but it's not quite enough. The mystery is good and fun but not at the expense of actually getting to know anyone in this story. Despite supposedly spending all this time in Hyunsoo's head, we still barely know anything about him other than he's got a temper and has violent outbursts. Hyunsoo and Youngchan haven't had a real, in depth conversation despite the number of times they've fought, physically and verbally. I like slow burn relationships where the two characters have to work out their own inner turmoil, but I don't feel like I'm even getting that. The story seems afraid to outright show too much about any of the characters. I dunno. I'm 50 chapters in, and I'd rather just watch everyone here get hit by a bus. I don't like angry, violent, arrogant characters, and I'm talking about Hyunsoo AND Youngchan here, and if we're not going to get any deeper into their heads and pasts (or even presents), then I don't see a reason to stick around. 3/10, for promising me an interesting dynamic and character study but refusing to actually give me those things after FIFTY GODDAMN CHAPTERS
