Genboxxy's manga / #Age Gap(103)

fluffy but not overtly sweet that it's cringe-inducing. I also like the fact that the uke did move on from his first unrequited love (there was that HS classmate yes, but forget that prick) AND they managed to have a healthy friendship afterwards. The seme is the puppy sort but at least he knows when to back down and owns up to his faults while still attempting to communicate, he might be too good though, not much flaw there aside from the insecurity that he has which also made sense with his background embedded in the plot. The important thing tho, is that the leads seem to compliment each other, and their dynamic works well.

this author is really good at making smooth and mellow conflicts, the right amount of tension that doesn't drag on so when the pair finally consummate, it's so worth it and everything's all good. It's a comforting read. I like that the uke did not sexualize the seme when he was a kid and only even realized his (romantic) love for him years later, I thought this was gonna go through the shota/pedo route, thankfully it didn't. The interactions between the pair when the seme was a kid was really wholesome, they love each other, but it was more of a strong friendship kinda bond, I think it's the absence from each other (tho they do keep contact) through the years that made that warm feeling evolve into desire and even romance. All of the works from this author that I've read have been rated 5 stars thus far, it's just so good how they present the plot, plus the art style is so good too.
