stressedpenguin's manga / #sports injury(9)

don't remember much but it was a kid with a sports injury x older baker hiding his delinquent background. cute and fluffy. i remember liking it so 6/10

something about this one irked me. it felt disjointed at times. i guess this one just wasn't my thing. the guys didn't seem all that different ngl they felt like they had a lot in common. i'm giving it a 5/10 cuz though it could be good, it annoyed me too much

kinda tragic somehow? 4/10

Uhh started as a pwp massage therapist fucks his patients, but then it introduces like the seme's past lover (a sports guy who quit sports bc a sports injury) and some angst, but because of the genre switch (pwp to drama) and bc we didnt follow the story from the start, the angst does not hit. 4/10

Uke is shy and withdrawn bc people are homophobic assholes.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

Guy runs into his old classmate who's always been an aloof asshole. Keeps running into him and the seme keeps kinda prying into his past. Their relationship starts off very terse and almost combative. Both of them initially hope the other is more miserable than themselves. I'm sad the hamster wasn't more relevant. She's only in a few scenes but shes so ROUND. I need more hamster! Overall thoughts tho. Didn't really enjoy it. Its just not what I want to read rn I guess. I may have misread it since it was late af, but characters were all kinda nosy but with a feeling like they wanted to amuse themselves? Also the teacher was kinda a creep? Who runs I to a former student and then begs them to let you stay there? Don't you have other people closer to you? And then also prying into basically a strangers sec life? Weird. The story does feel grounded, but the characters feel isolated. It left me feeling like... depressed for some reason. Idk. This one wasn't it for me. Sorry. 4/10

Completed at ch 50. I was starting to get tired of the uke and seme blaming themselves for each others problems. That's not a bad conflict it just happened like... every 5 chapters. They have an issue angst about it, resolve it kinda, and then immediately go through the same angst again. For 50 chapters. The relationship was realistically codependent but pretty cute. They couldnt stop fucking for ONE chapter tho. It was either drama and angst or fucking. Often both. I think they fucked more than they talked. Also not into pregnant sex and fully thought the uke would abort the baby ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 6/10 name on MAL is Surge Towards You

Seme works as a hairdresser, having given up his dream of being a soccer player. Uke has a lot of guilt for causing the seme's injury, so he became a host to earn the money and network to help seme's salon through advertising. Big angst from both these characters being simultaneously too proud and too lacking in self worth. I did really appreciate that the uke still uses his medical knowledge, although I dont think becoming a host--an industry famous for its unhealthy alcohol dependency--is the best idea... Anyway, 7/10 for the feels

Seme is the second hear to a traditional Japanese tea... house??? Uke used to be a track star but was injured and gave up on his dreams. Wasnt as much...plot as I expected but still cute and fluffy 7/10
