stressedpenguin's manga / #this annoyed me(104)

Story felt like a frayed rope being held together at each end. A lot of things happen, like they jump from case to case with very little explanation. 90% of the story is just close-ups on people's faces so it's really hard to get a bearing on where anyone is. Theres a scene where they're rescuing some kid from a building and they have to jump from one balcony to the other... and it never shows us the balcony or the characters mid air. Really weird. The drama was repetitive. One of them will say "don't get hurt'" and then get hurt. Every. Single. Time. Like, it's cute that they care about each other but man, it's so predictable, it's boring. The emotional drama of Miro liking Ian keeps getting interrupted and we also know Ian likes him bc this is a BL so of course he does. There's no question about it and it's not set up well enough so by the confession I was like who cares just get over with. 4/10. It's not bad, just not good and I got irritated reading it

This annoyed me Dropped at ch 2. I'm outta patience for pushy semes who "wont give up" even when they're told no ans the story treating that like an admirable trait. Standard weak delinquent in love with a stronger delinquent and forcing their way into the others life. Could be cute, I'm just tired. Cant really rate it, but it's probably a 3 or 4/10

This.... is so dumb. Everything is so contrived. The author's got their hand shoved up everybody's ass as is piloting them like a bunch of brain dead, horny muppets. The author reeeeally couldn't come up with ANY other scenario for fake dating? Every thing is just forced drama. These characters dont act like real people The red thread premise isnt even relevant for 90% of the story. It's just a way to make drama. Bruh =_= 2/10

Did not like the seme. Not a fan of coercive people

Dropped at ch 6. Man they spent so much time going back and forth and back and forth I really wanted to smack them. The relationship between all of them is something you dont often see although it definitely seems like Nao and Ryo used the threesome to get Chika involved. Idk, this was pretty dramatic and a lil frustrating personally 5/10. Just not the story for me.

Dropped at ch 25. Another generic villainess isekai. I'm really not into these. The characters at least feel like they have... something of a personality but they still feel pretty flat. 4/10. I was bored for half of it but I did laugh at least once

dropped at ch 2 or 3. didn't like the kinda sadistic seeming dark haired dude. zero respect for personal space which is a massive pet peeve of mine. bleh, got too pissed off i guess. can't rate

Dropped at ch 30. Slow, kinda janky pacing. Not a lot happens and scenes felt repetitive to me. Host plot feels forced for the sake a drama, which there was plenty of with just the filming crew. Coulda done a lot with that without the weird rapey host plot idk. 2 or 3/10

Story 1: guys best friend confesses and then starts avoiding him. They resolve it. This happens twice, which was annoying. The friend also really pushes for sex without really considering if the MC wants that. Didn't really like this one Story 2: Two college guys living together. The short one is in love with the tall one and the tall one knows but kinda teases the short one about it without explaining that the love is mutual until the end. Was cute. Overall verdict: 5/10

WARNING: depictions and mentions of suicide Th....no. no thank you. Mangaka really out here romanticizing cheating? The uke SUCKS. He's cheating on 5 different guys at once but he's "so nice". Cmon, no. Also why did no one in the company call rhe cops when the uke gets called in to the presients office by bf #2 (kento jr) and comes out bruised and MISSING A TOOTH??? this sucked. Tora, main seme, was actually really nice and deserved better but the real tragedy is Jisabudo | Naomi who put up with all the BS, gave the uke advice, and dealt with crazy kento jr when he shanked our boi Tora. Jisabudo | Naomi deserved WAAAAAY better 2/10
