stressedpenguin's manga / #showbiz(49)

Dropped at ch 9. Dunno why but I just dislike the seme in this. Update ch 9. I wish I could explain, but I just do not like this story. 4/10

Pwp, rich seme, college students, showbiz, model, cliche

Anthology of porn star idols fucking, what else can I say

Wow uh... this is another one where the relationship feels pretty forced and only exists because this is a BL. I'm not convinced they actually like each other. And then that last chapter oh boy. SO MUCH happens in that last chapter like the author was planning to drag this out longer and then was told this was the last one and crammed everything in there. 3/10

Completed at ch 7. Woah shout out to the seme for being responsible and having boundaries and not sleeping with a minor Update ch 6. Aw I hope there's another chapter. They're cute but this felt rushed and I wanted more with the other members. Like that was adorable that they all hung out and napped in the same room. Gimme more of that! 7/10. Miiiiight bump it up to 8 cuz it was just so frickin funny

Is the scandal plot a little unrealistic? Ye. But do I care? Only a little . It's a cute, fast paced, self-indulgent fantasy. About an ordinary guy getting fucked raw by a hot celebrity. 6/10 but I had fun

Dropped at ch 2. Nope. Making him vomit all the food he ate because hes on a diet is fucked up. Dropping this 1/10. Don't usually rate things if I haven't read at least 70% but this crossed a line I didn't know I had

Dropped at ch 37. 90% if the problems could have been prevented or reduced if the staff, the idol, and the public had any communication at all. I'm not even talking about the romance shit. It was obvious MC's company cares and listened to him, but they didnt fucking tell him he had a dangerous stalker? They didn't put out any PR announcements like "as always, please be careful with food gifts and never consume anything that has a broken seal." Then on top of that, Mr. Zero Self Preservation Skills didnt just... tell his staff he doesn't want anymore contact with the psycho ex?? He doesnt have to explain why but like, the staff could try to limit his exposure to him??? Especially the manger?? And Mr. Perfect Bodygard didnt say anything either? Just a quick "hey manager, as his bodyguard who's got an eye for danger, my client seems obviously uncomfortable with this guy. We prioritise the safety of our talent, so let's not keep putting him in the room with someone he clearly doesn't like." Basically, the staff were fucking incompetent given how many crazy psychos were attracted to this wildly famous idol, the uke doesnt have a single self preserving bone in his body, and the seme was the only mostly competent person for still having security follow his client even when he was wrestling with his emotions. I have zero interest in watching this clown show continue with a THIRD stalker 3/10. Maayyybe 4?

First couple was pretty cute if a bit awkward. I'm glad the uke (?) realized he was being kinda cruel to the seme. That was cute I was a little more invested in the second couple but like. Damn. Just talk to each other??? Over all, 6/10?

Ch 1-3 office worker is taken to an S&M bar and gets hooked on the bartender. Very sexy but he gets like actually addicted to sex and not in the fun way. Like it actually starts to impact his work and that stresssd me out . For that, 6/10 Ch 4-6: Airhead out actor falls for the hot DILF of a photographer and seduces him in the most innocent way. This one was kinda cinematic??? Like the framing and lighting was way different than the first story?? The age gap was big and uncomfy but otherwise I liked this better. 7/10 Overall, 7/10 name on MAL is Kumo to Saga
