roseatejaded's manga / #Reencounter(4)

Re-encountering of former classmates with vastly different personalities leading to a sort of fwb arrangement. I liked the story pacing and the complexity and complexes of Ashida's character a lot. It was bittersweet, leaning very much towards sweet :))

Sakuma Shuu and Hayami Tsukasa take 'Bully x Victim' to a whole other level. They actually feel like soulmates. Their toxic, co-dependent, all-consuming relationship is based on a desire to hurt amd break each other and in turn, makes them perfect for each other. Despite all this, their toxicity makes their relationship weirdly wholesome. I only wish we could've seen more of them :DD

Crime thriller with non-linear narrative. Starring Shimojou and Kuze, our two main leads with a history of rivalry and a toxic, all-consuming, co-dependent relationship . Their rivalry and one-upmanship goes way back and although they like to refer to each other as trash, there's undoubtable respect and love between them, with Shimojou (a yakuza) even helping Kuze in his police work towards the end. One of the only downfalls is that in some parts, I was genuinely confused as fucc.

Tomohiro, an advertising agent, needs to hire Jyo, his ex-classmate, for an important job. But he dislikes said ex-classmate a lot. Features prostate massages, great ass smut, a weird sort-of yet not-really fwb situation, photography, plagiarism of art, abuse of power by a person in authority, and really wholesome romance if I do say so myself ( ˘ ³˘)
