apopoi's manga / #yaoi(106)

I like this. It's simple and straight to the point, it does all that it needs to do and hits all the correct beats in the story. The boss asking "Who's gonna be the top" made me chuckle since it was very obvious that Kazuma would be it with how proactive he's been. There is just something magical about an older uke×younger seme that tickles my fancy. With the latter being stoic or spacing out most of the time, not as bothered by societal norms. I want a Mr Inuma in my life, someone to take care of me and cook for me. He's so sweet and giving. Their combo works on paper and in reality too I would assume. Gastronomy, I haven't heard that since Food Wars (Shokugeki no Soma), with that short white-haired character. I like that he broke up with his ex because she didn't like the smell of fish, which was essentially her denying him his passion and so forth. Many might put up with it but damn he knows his worth. Also I like that he called it 'sexual assault' cuz it was and also him easily admitting to his feelings and naturally dating. I love how his co-worker wasn't a douchebag and started tattling to everyone about the fact that they were dating and is genuinely happy for him. It also speaks volume on the Boss's character that him extending his help and looking out for him was seen as something normal and not him giving favours to him cuz he liked him. It shows he would do the same for any other in that situation. He has been in that dorm for ten years as well so they might have seen him doing the same for others. Also, many situations point to them dating yet they don't even consider that and I think it isn't due to them being naive but simply them faulting it to the Boss's kind nature. Currently on Ch14.

Recently I have been into guys with glasses. They're hot. Typical manga behaviour.. So fast paced and cliche. The bottom is as pretty as a female so he's constantly being cornered/not taken seriously plus imo he's a sissy. The ml saves him and offers him a job after he quit since his boss put forward some unreasonable conditions. Now he works in a nightclub, is hit on by an old dude and the glasses dude comes to the rescue. Turns out he's part of the yakuza hence the title. They have a party, the top is a light weight so he gets drunk, bottom offers to carry him home and they get into some action, no sex though that only happened in the last chapter. Morning arrives and the top apologizes then the bottom admits it's his fault since he was the sober one. The top finds him cute yada yada yada then some conflict happens in the form of a stalker then the top saves him yet again... I'm starting to see a pattern here guys. Before that, he gifted him a earring which he didn't put on since he saw him together with a girl and misunderstands. Now in a car, he just blurts out he likes him for a reason I forget then the top says he likes him too and has been waiting for him to admit his feelings. They make love and the end.

Whooah! That seems hot as hell This is so lovable, it's actually insane. The bottom is the one who makes the shot though he is weak to the top's aegyo. I thought that the top was dumb as fuck as well but it turns out that he's been making passes at the bottom. Offering to have sex with him etc was him putting his best foot forward. I love their dynamic as well, the bottom has a soft spot for the top and goes along with everything he says. He is also hot af so yay! Hot bottoms are hard to find these days.

I currently read upto Ch11 and it's decent. I like the connection between the MC and ML. Wonwoo being a mascot with that spicy personality is top tier. The ML also laughed because of that, he seems prickly and stuck up with a serious face all the time so it was nice to see him like that. He remembers the MC because he was the reason that they aced that game. Tbh I find it pretty hard to keep up with this because it's very focused on baseball and the lingos, and me going into it not knowing anything find myself lost. It's a manhwa that's made by someone very knowledgeable about baseball, and that's nice since that's what the manhwa revolves around. But I'll get back to it when I have some time. I also apparently have a thing for baseball players so there's that. Talking about Ryu from Kimi ni Todoke btw.

I like the premise of this story but everything seems to happen for the sake of the plot. The Emperor and the Empress are a laughing stock, the influence of the Empress imo isn't that strong, she also seems very dumb. The ML is the best character for now, but he seems very naive. Like I would imagine him to find something amiss about the prince since he has known him for how long? But he only asked to conduct an investigation recently. All of his people are aware of his affections for the prince yet they don't seem to take him seriously either. I am so used to MLs in this genre no matter how easy going they are to have their subordinates take everything they say seriously. I understand that they think only an alpha and omega should get married, especially since he is a Grand Duke but them asking him "You're not doing this because of 'him', are you" rubs me the wrong way considering in the previous chapter they acknowledge that the Duke only attends parties where the prince attends. The characters are not the smartest, I guess it's better to write dumb or average characters since they are more predictable and you don't have to go through hoops so that they don't seem to be out of character. That's why Gege hates writing Gojo from JJk since he is so OP, he has to modify and think things through since he is a pain to write about since he could change things with just a wave of his hand. The MC being an omega and therefore living a life where he has to hide his identity since in the imperial family only an alpha can become an emperor is very sad but I wish he wasn't that much of a pussy. Like he is so easily pushed around. Istg when he woke up after being forced to eat those suppressants by his mother, and decided to use the back door since he didn't want to open the window(it would wake his servant who was sleeping after caring for him) which btw only the duke and him know the location of, I rolled my eyes since it was so fucking obvious that it was a way to make him meet with the ML. Also conveniently that's when the ML suspects him to be an omega, he even asks his subordinates if it was possible for a beta to smell like an omega and the obvious answer was 'no'. But there could be two reasons 1) there was an omega who passed by in that area so it was the residual scent/pheromone left by that omega. Of course this is ruled out since only him and the prince knows this place. 2) the omega mistakes himself to be a beta. They brush this aside since it was preposterous and such a thing couldn't happen. But not the ml, a lightbulb seems to go off in his head. I am worried tho that he will be too careless and that will cause the Empress to find out and cause more trauma for the prince.

I actually like this. If it were another manhwa, the seme would be a turn off for me but the way he acted got me wondering..why is he like this? Also he is evolved and since this is a world after the age of man filled with zombies.. I could understand why the ML is so unhinged. We can't use our common sense in their world, I didn't like him rubbing his stinky ass dick on our pretty MC's mouth but whatever. I knew something was suspicious because they insisted on him being his guard even though the MC has said twice that he wanted a different one. Also him being sent to the garden or some shit for drinking was a bit strange for me but I pushed it aside since I thought they probably didn't think much of it(the writer) and I considered it to be a typical yaoi. But a lot of thought is going into making this manhwa, like them putting the ML(the strongest person) by the MC's side and them keeping an eye out for him, like the higher ups are definitely shady people. The doctor who got killed must be an inside job but what's up with the MC's dream? I want to know all the info.. Like I am invested! Also I don't think the MC lacks emotions, I think he is just a stoic person who never interacted much with others, also he is a mutant and mutants are usually obsessed with something.. In his case 'stones'. Him being called 'Dr Stone' made me wonder if it was a shoutout to the anime/manga 'Dr Stone' but it turned out to be a play on words. I'm also glad that there is more to the ML, like he seems to be super serious in the scene where he looked over that Dr. Oh and our MC and he has access to the Top Class secret so...

This is phenomenal. I like the MC a lot, even more than the ML which btw is out of the norm for me. I like that the plot is at the forefront for this and the dots are connected one by one. Every decision made is done after careful calculation, it's every man for themselves. There is nothing done just for love or compassion, everything has an ulterior motive. I like Hawon and Jahan's relationship even though the latter is hella annoying most of the time. I like how Hawon cares for him, I like how he is aware of his father's crime and acknowledges it instead of ignoring it. I like the flashbacks especially, his dad was such a piece of crap but he loves his son dearly. That juxtaposition makes me conflicted and makes it all the more interesting. The bio mom is a painter and she seems to be a pivotal key to this all debacle, the step mom seems to genuinely care for Hawon and he loves him back too. The reason he slapped Jahan was because he tore the letter she wrote him although it was just four words "I am so sorry". Taehan's fixation on Hawon is because of his dad who kidnapped him for a ransom and made him the horrible man he is today. I like that too, I think he fancies him as well but not in a pure way. He likes his face and body, and wants to dominate him. Tangbang is a cunning merchant and I like his character, he knows so much. I want to crack open his skull so I can find out everything. Aiel is also interesting, his hobby is umm terrifying.. Stuffing pretty things? Ewww! Reminds me of Dylan from 'I tamed a tyrant and ran away', before she tamed him he considered stuffing her so she could remain by his side forever. The loan sharks are so annoying and a hassle, they are a reality that is hard to digest exists in our world. Interest is something I learned that I hate, so unfair. Only someone at the end of their rope takes from loan sharks.

I like this in a different way than the author's previous works. It surprised me that the seme(I assume) is a rich old man's lover and the uke is an intimidating loan shark. The former has the chairman wrapped around his fingers and seems to have a thing for the uke. I mean in the first scene, the seme fucked the uke pretty hard in the bathroom (tho the uke had a blindfold on so neither of them saw each other's faces, the seme probably knows him but I wouldn't question it if he didn't since this is yaoi logic). The uke has a mole under his eye, which the seme is weirdly fixated on and I can't figure out why (I think his blind fold covered his beauty mark as well) . Also why is the seme seemingly obsessed with uke, just because he fucked him that one time? I like the uke's personality, he is so kind. His kindness reminds me of Cale Henituse from TCF in the sense that they are inherently kind, it's not the type that's in your face but the considerate type. He wants to take revenge on the chairman and is very patient in his goal (people like him are the scariest). I love how he looks after his people as well, Yeongcheol's mom is a bitch, the lowest of the low. When I saw that she bought so many shoes while not paying her rent(?) I was livid. The flashback didn't help either, she left her son at the age of five and came back into his life when he became successful and leeches off of him. The seme is a black Panther (name given by the uke since he didn't wanna give out his name), very quiet, doesn't take initiative yet follows accordingly, is shameless and does his own thing. He also likes plants and tends to them, which btw is why the uke gave him the name panther as he resembled one in the scene where he tended to some plants.

This is very sub par. The MC was a slave who was saved and given a name 'Yona' by the second prince to a kingdom (the name of it I've forgotten). You know Asians and their obsession with fair skin, one Indian said it best "Being fair is so imp that you could have a missing eye but as long as your complexion matches the whites in your eyes, it's all good. But if you are in the tanner side, you have to be perfect..like having symmetrical face, luscious lips, cheekbones etc." It is made known to us multiple times in the manga that Yona is very beautiful, and that is because he's fair as fuck. The big question is : Is he Ed Sheeran level of white? cuz that shit crazyyy.. Anyway it's mentioned that he was named Yona cuz he reminded Al of white doves with his white hair and skin, serene eyes etc. The plot is plotting.. I guess. Like it's very standard trashy shoujo-yaoi that's reliant on tropes to make it be a story. The only good thing about the MC is his appearance. Like this guy dumb as fuck.. I guess men like their partners stupid regardless of gender. Anyways he mad gullible.. Believing that snake advisor when he said that he would send an army to Al if he slept with him. Like how you gonna trust that shady motherfucker? Also him being dragged by some maids then being dressed in that cloth that only covered his genitals (yess I said it) then randomly dancing since it would be awkward if he just stood there in front of everyone (I mean..to be fair it was a dancer get up, is there a fetish about dancers in the olden days?Was it considered exotic? Because this isn't the first time I've come across this trope and it's usually done in the scene when the dancer wants to attracts/seduce the ML) . This is obviously a dumb set up so there could finally be some action ᕦ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) between the two leads. Like some girl gave him aphrodisiac for no reason (they didn't even bother to give an explanation like they be like 'here a scene of Al getting Yona off by rubbing his dick a couple times'). They are engaged technically according to the seme's tradition since Al gave Yona his name then Yona gave something that's of importance to him.. without Yona knowing (that they're engaged since seme didn't think to disclose this info, then he has the nerve to be disappointed, HOW HE SUPPOSED TO KNOW? U DIDN'T TELL HIM MF) . It's giving Ross not telling Rachel that they're still married. I have a lot of opinions about their very unbalanced dynamic, like that boy a prince and u his slave.. I know he says he didn't wanna be just his prince and he his attendee yada yada. But the power level is insane.. Like his name alone.. Do u know the power a name holds? Like they say if you know the devil's name, you hold control over him(or her or them, whatever they identify as) . The same can be said.. His existence is like to serve him. He said so himself and seems to embrace it. Like noooo.. Even if the prince said some corny ass line about them being equals, ya really think that's gonna change shit? Hell nah!! Also the king high key hotter than Al, not gonna lie Al looks goofy as hell with this static face. Like it doesn't move..his face I mean. Also how hard is it to dismiss an adviser, I get needing evidence since he is of high position and has connections but he dumb as fuck. That don't add up. I know the king said it took having a very beautiful person to act as bait to catch him slipping.. But I don't know. That just seem so half-assed and is supposed to magically solve everything? What else? Oh.. The MC is from a tribe but no detail is given about it. Maybe the tribe is full of white people (Ed? You there?) It never got to that point since it don't need to apparently. It was mentioned in the last chapter the morning after Al fucks Yona's back off. The thing he's been searching for all this time was actually...dun dun dun dun Yona's tribe! Well.. I totally didn't see that coming(O_O). Also this rock faced ML is a manwhore.. Three girls at once? What is that.. Is it a sandwich? No that's three people him included, so an orgy but that don't make no goddamn sense. Also the smut scenes were not it..I'm sorry. The fact that it's black and white, their dick light sabers and the expression or lack thereof except blushing with their hand on their mouth. It's mid. Anyway yeah that's it for now.

This some NTR shit right here. Unfortunately I've read worse than this so this is tame compared to some doujinshis *ahem* so it's aight. Of course the focal point for this plot is hypnosis, I wish we'd dive deeper in this aspect does that mean everyone can do it if they put their mind to it or what? There are trigger words like "Let's Play" Or "Playtime's Over". What surprised me was that the MC involved their parents into it, I could understand to some extent why he wants to torture his hyung so he makes him do his bidding. He's a psychopath essentially. There's not enough substance for me to feel pity or sorry for anyone since there are only 3 chapters and it's basically torture porn.
