crystalvmin's manga / #BL(103)

I was really stoked for some black people representation, but this manga was mid don’t get me wrong, their dynamic as a couple (I’d like to think it’s a more realistic portrayal of a loving relationship and partners’ intimacy during sex) and art is like cute asf but the pacing is so bad tbh and like the author concocted their connection/chemistry out of thin air just so that they could start having sex lol the plot holes as well with Luca being polygamous but considers dating other people as cheating. Woulda been cute if everything wasn’t so random.

Since this was a short manhwa, I’m probably not going to nitpick much on the development and all, I think the general pacing and development was okay for a short manhwa. Though I definitely have mixed feelings about the development of the uke’s feelings, it did feel a bit more rushed despite him having a reason to believe why his feelings are the way it is. Obviously not the best psychological story there is, but it’s not the worst, it probably could’ve been done better if it was longer tho. Warnings: SA, Master-Slave Relationship, and overall just a toxic duo.

This better have more future chapters cos there’s still a lot to address + their kiss

Bit sad there weren’t any spicy scenes but shounen-ai does fit more with the overall vibe of the story. I’m always here for old men experiencing love !! This was so wholesome and cute it made my heart hurt

I don’t really have any strong feelings for this manga since I’m not the biggest fan of Touma, mans was too obsessed, the portrayal though was light-hearted so it didn’t bother me too much. For some reason I wasn’t feeling the reveal that they were both pining for each other even though it made sense. They were definitely cute though once they got together and finding out Kengou was the bottom was a pleasant surprise (yes I know the cover makes it obvious but u never know touma could have been a power bottom for all I care).

Bl manga (more specifically japanese ones though) with older men really have a mature (?) and superior connection and affinity towards each other which makes their story seem so rich, tender, and realistic all at the same time. The manga’s pacing is very good and you really could feel that the author put some excellent thought and care into telling their story and not just making it about sexual relations between two men. This needs more updates.

This was really good!! (aside from chapter 6 I’m ngl the timeline of the events confused me a bit, not sure if it was part of the story or just extras) I LOVE ME SOME OLD DIVORCED MEN HAVING A CHANCE TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AGAIN. But seriously though it’s insane how a person can love one person for so long even though they never got together during that time. I really liked the comedy aspect of the manga too it was really kooky and the way they behaved was so fun to see especially in middle-aged men. Sometimes tho it was a bit too kooky at times especially during the sex scenes cos they’re censored with random things and random texts lol the art style is also very unique and non-conventional (in the manga way), definitely not everyone’s cup of tea but I see the vision.
