aranara's manga / #cute(10)

i find the sex worker to lover trope a little annoying, but sometimes there's diamonds like this one in every trope. the art is so nice, the seme is so kind, gentle, RESPECTFUL, and skillful. the uke is adorable, and his insecurities are super relatable. i also really appreciate the fact they didn't vilify his ex, and that they worked out their past!! the expressions are also 10/10, the sex scenes are just absolutely phenomenal

i really loved this, the whole plot is really good, and i think it's really sweet and cute, and a stoic gangster who plays an mmo with a cute innocent college boy is a really adorable dynamic. i want to give it 5/5 but i have to retract one star bc of the confession chapter. the fact that there's almost a rape scene, and then they just talk for a few minutes and it's okay and then they have sex is just. bad writing. absolutely illogical, and they literally write both sides saying that if it had been too rough that the uke would have run away??? he was about to rape him how was that not too rough wtf. anyway i had a good time reading it before then, and it still ended nice, that just killed the vibe really bad.
