Genboxxy's manga / #neighbors(10)

Another great one from this author, really fantastic lore that justified the plot route and character backstories well; with just the right balance of action and romance it keeps you wanting to get to the next chapter. The couple are actively loving towards each other but not overtly cutesy, cringey lovey dovey type. Uke is sensible in his motives to isolate himself and was not angsty at all, rather appeciative of his life but not in a suffocating happy-go-lucky sort of way; seme is kinda dimwitted wc could explain his lack of control towards violent tendencies, but despite that, he's eager to change and do better, choose the moral option, though he's technically a cat and does exhibit traits that affectionate cats have, he's still very much a candidate for puppy-like seme. The second couple is also really interesting and that one has an actual dog familiar for the seme but unlike the typical puppy seme sort, he also exhibits dog like traits like being rough, hyperactive, persistent (in hunting), and of course loyal wc is a given. Really nice work, absolutely adore this one too.

2.5/5 I really like this author and I think they did a good job with this but it feels like it's not really something that they want to do, probably just given a prompt to work on, something different because boy oh boy the plot for this sucks it's basically cheating galore, by that cheater uke (has bf) x cheater seme (has gf). And even their motivations for coming back together sucks asssss, basically the uke's just a horntoad who couldn't get enough smegs from his current bf and was easily swayed by his ex, the seme is just someone looking for the most convenient partner, regardless of the point that he eventually broke up with his gf, truth of the matter is he can't handle long distance, the uke is the nearest so he's the best choice; and if he happens to be transferred for a job? or just wants to go somewhere else again? will he break up with the uke again, it's so stupid; they even had this idea pop on the uke's head that the reason why seme is having long distance with his gf is because she refused to break up, and that had he done the same with the seme before they probs wouldn't break up either, BUT in the end the gf and seme did break up so clearly that tactic does not work, plus why would you even offer to break up if you were just wanting to be chased and asked not too, horrible drives. It is something, I'll give you that, but it's just annoying, the low rating is understandable.

3.5/5
