stressedpenguin's manga / #unique(7)

Bl I can talk about A hero who cant control his strength and is super naive goes to live with the demon king because that's the only place that will take him. So far it's been cute and interesting. The art can be hard to read. Update: THATS IT?!?!? NOOOOOOOOO Ayo that was too short. I wanna see more of them bruhhhh Again, the art can be messy and hard to read so sometimes I was a bit lost but I liked the characters and the whole section where the hero guy dies is super sad. Was gonna give this a 7 but the art style and story is so unique ima bump it up to a solid 8/10.

Ooh interesting, a sort of historical drama. Seme is a well off white man and uke is half chinese half white. They were friends as kids and now reuniting become fuck buddies. Uke is in some shady sjit with the mafia and trying to get out, and then the great depression hits and everything REALLY goes to shit for them. But they're devoted Solid 8/10

I literally do not have the tags to describe this one, it does a lot of things different from the usual. The manga follows these two lovers from when the meet in high school, through the struggles of college, and the struggles of adulthood beyond adulthood, and it's very sweet and painful. I loved how whimsical their meeting was, both walking the painted line, conjuring the danger waiting if they fell to either side. I love the lil tango(?) they do to get around it. It made me so happy!! You watch their romantic relationship build and then fall apart as harsh reality and their own insecurities catch up with them. And when they find each other again, it almost hurts as much as it heals. And then you watch them grow old and we return to that painted line on the street and we follow that to the end of the story and their lives. Rarely do you see a story that ends when the characters lives end outside of a tragedy. I'm really happy to have read this. Wow. This story gets just poetic enough that it brought out my own poetic side that hasn't seen the light of day since high school, I've gotta give this a 9/10

I'll be honest, I thought something more would happen given the story had like... curses and fish spirits and spirit mediums, but it was kinda... standard? Idk a little disappointed in the supernatural element because this felt like a unique yokai type story. Mm 4/10 for the disappointment

I really loved how gentle this was. I loved the softness of Chinatsu describing the aquarium to Kasumi, and all the soft face caresses, and the way Kasumi constantly reaches for Chinatsu to feel that he's there and that gentle photograph of Kasumi at the ocean. Aaaaahhh my heart 8/10

Procrastinated reading this bc any romance that has space will inevitably be existentially tragic. Start reading it. Not about space. Deep sigh of relief. Two oneshots later. Space. Goddammit 7/10

Cute, silly comedy romance in which the serious student council prez get possessed by a kids show-esque monster villain spirit and has to "defeat" the hero, the delinquent. Obviously they fall in love but bc they're hero and villain they just feel this utter disgust for reach other and its hysterical 7/10
