stressedpenguin's manga / #showbiz(49)

Been a while since I read a pure shoujo. It's a bit rushed and messy and very very cliche, but it's cute. Yakko's younger sister and mother are both big actresses so shes left alone a lot. Then the popular actor Araki shows up at her house and confesses and Yakko falls in love and theres some very minor angst and drama. Yakko's family lowkey sucks, Araki is a very enthusiastic puppy bf, and Yakko herself is a pretty generic nice girl. 5/10

See, it's bad if someone ELSE assaults him but it's fine if it's the seme. That's how this works right? Yeah idk I didnt like this one. Very cliche plot and characters. Seme always forces sex on the uke especially at the start. For some reason no one tells the uke important work details? Idk man this just wasnt it for me 3/10

Dunno how to summarize this one. Uh, seme is a 17 yr old model, who's genearlly known to be callous and emotionless. Uke is like a writer or something who gets involved with the seme. Uke is very pure and doesn't want sex without. Seme sleeps around without any emotions attached and that causes a lot of friction between them. Very off and on story Seme is a literally a kid (17 yrs, so yikes) and really struggles with communicating his feelings and winds up talking like he doesn't care which only makes this relationship more complicated. Overall, I kinda liked this, but it also irked me and I'm not a huge fan of adult x minor with massive age gaps hmmm. 7/10?

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

Dropped at ch 5.

gay guy runs into his first love while trying to get over him and well you know how it goes. a little angsty but pretty cute. 7/10

Dropped at ch 9. Uke's sex toys get delivered to his neighbor and the neighbor forces him to use them. I'm seriously low on patience for seme's with zero respect for boundaries lowkey blackmailing the uke into sex. Come on this is so fucking annoying -/10, but 4/10 for what I read.

Seme gets roped into being a bodyguard for a strip club and immediately falls for the lead dancer. There's some back and forth drama where the bar gets attacked, angst, seme takes over bar, bar gets attacked angst. Also the uke's been raped in the past (not shown) but still has to perform strip shows. Idk. This one felt random like the author was just throwing bad things into the plot just cuz. Kinda. Idk. I just reread it and didnt care much though I remember liking it once upon a time 5/10

Loyal knight and his prince have been reincarnated over and over and this time it's as a cool salary man (knight) and an idol (prince) Overall it's cute, fluffy, and fun. I have no strong feelings but it was very easy to read and not too boring. 6/10

5/10, no thoughts really name on MAL is Sex Influencer
