Sensei de, sekkusu no renshū shite ī?

Ongoing | Asou mika | 2019 released

The uke is ruffling my feathers..like the plot is stupidly fast paced as it is but the uke is..WOW..I thought he would be in his 20s at least but he is in his 30s getting jealous over a high school girl..that's so lame..the age gap does bother me after all..it's also the fact that he acts like a victim in the midst of it all..how does someone fall for a kid? Also his sudden burst of emotions..him fainting in the classroom cuz of him overworking and not getting enough sleep over a kid..seriously? Him overhearing the seme's conversation with his gf about his feelings for her or lack thereof and here he is being conflicted over the guy in question..he is your friend's nephew...his uncle is your first love..he bears great resemblance to him I know..but it is clear as day that this guy who is supposed to be an adult is acting like a damn child!! The seme is childish and falls into the 'good at everything+ popular ikemen' trope but he gets a pass cuz his childhood is honestly not the best with him not having a mother so he could not have breakfast and eats readymade foods..his father is clearly busy with his work so he doesn't have time for him. His age is also a justification for his asshole attitude at times. Like he is acting like a kid..and that's OK cuz he is a kid..but how do u expect him to be mature and all..I have some problem with him being the seme..He clearly doesn't respect uke either so the whole power balance thing is out the window..anyways two stars

Murder on Sunset 19th Street

Ongoing | Soji | 2022 released

I like this. The MC isn't what I expected but we'll see how it goes. The ML is the one being clouded in mystery rn with the connections he has and how he has answers to everything and a way out. I do like that they aren't too serious with one another. 15 chapters in and we already got so much story so I guess that's a plus. I do like the fact that the old man was the mastermind (not really) and has a warped view on everything. He blamed our MC for taking credit and diminishing the value of the police. Such an old police man thing to do. The MC is smart but he kinda lacks something. I can't get over how easily the ML got him under his thumb. He also seems to be weak mentally so ehhh. He's smart so he gets over his head a bit so that kinda is something he can work on. Ch15.
