stressedpenguin's manga / #supernatural(164)

Uke can read minds and knows his kinda friend had a crush on him. There a bit of light drama and interference from uke's overprotective brother. Also the seme is very awkward and a bit... air headed? Is that the right descriptor? Idk. Either way, he's earnest but a little too like "omg does this mean he likes me" kinda energy, which is not my cup of tea. Also its unclear if the uke is really romantically interested in the semenuntil the very end, so hes kinda leading the seme on for that while 5/10

Aww~~~~ that was adorable! MC is stuck in a time loop and realizes it's because of his childhood friend whom he hasn't been close with in years. I love these sorts of ground hog day stories haha 7/10

Vampire gets purified up the ass by an angel, definitely an UNKNOWN work lol

Unique art, standout art, smut, supernatural, dragon, demi-human, sci fi, action, boss, YOOOOOO I cant believe this is finished O_O I feel like I've been following it forever. As always this mangaka's art is so unique. The action AND smut is *chefs kiss* and the nonhuman characters actually look like non humans. Shocker. Somehow, I was expecting more intrigue, angst, and just longer story, but it was still good. 9/10

Guy moves out to the country to take care of a family house for a bit. Gets attacked by a yokai, gets saved by a komainu (dog statue) spirit, gets raped by the komainu for protection or whatever. Komainu then moves into his house and now they're gonna live together. There's a theme of loneliness, and the art is very pretty. Coulda seriously done without the rape and this would be good.... Update ch 5. Wow. That ending was sad. Didn't really feel like a resolution to me since it was so abrupt. It's like the story didn't consider anything but the romance, so once that was done, so was the character's life... I dunno. Hit exactly the type of angst I love, but also left me feeling a bit slighted (for whatever reason, this is the emotion I am left with) 6/10? 4/10? Not sure

Just finished it. Not quite what I expected. Uke is placed as a editor for BL manga, has a dream where he and his boss are transferred into his mangaka BL. They leave the dream and things are awkward. Then theres a new mangaka who comes onto the uke strong. And the uke reconciles with the seme and they fuck and all is good? Idk Overall, just meh for me. Felt pretty rushed with so little development with the seme. 4/10 I guess there's a second volume according to MAL?

Ch 1-4: Uke is dying to get laid and orders a rental boyfriend not knowing they don't do sex. Winds up having sex with the young but charismatic rental boyfriend. Does that a few times before they fall in love with very minor hurdles Ch 5: um guy gets turned on by a waiter boy in an apron, find out that waiter is his kid brothers friend, fucks the friend. Massive age gap, and a minor. At least its consensual? Ch 6: really short bit with a silly vampire and the guy he bit 4/10?

Yknow. I want to say this hit me in the feels, but I honestly just couldn't get into it. After hitting his head in an accident, out MC is suddenly able to see the 17 yr old ghost that's been living in his apartment. MC was an aspiring mucision who's given up on his dreams after a heartbreakingly disastrous first street performance, but through his interactions with this ghost, he rediscovers his love for singing. I think knowing the ghost was... a ghost and given the very grounded tone of the story, I probably checked out emotionally before I even began. I want to say this was good and that it hurt or was cathartic or whatever, I cant. I just didn't engage with the story at all, so it didn't feel any different from all the other things I've read. I think it was just objectively good from an art, story, and execution standpoint so.... 6/10

Tbh, I had no idea who was who the whole time

Dropped at ch 32. From all the comments, this gets weird after season 1, so Ima save myself some pain and call it here. Byeeeeeee Starts off as some quality fast food angst, fluff, and smut. *chefs kiss* Its kinda melodramatic but not too rushed and not too dragged out. There's enough of a plot to convince you this isn't just popcorn worthy angst and smut. Also, its surprisingly wholesome??? Despite the story trying to portray him as a rich asshole, the uke is actually genuinely sweet. I mean, from the start, he was motivated to protect his sister, so like. 6/10, this feels complete so ima put this in the read pile and keep my eyes peeled for more chapters UPDATE ch 30. I knew it! ugh I was hoping the seme wouldn't turn out to the a dependent possessive lover bent on confining the uke to him but here we are. Sure was hoping for a healthy relationship
