ArtemisFowl's manga / #atypical dynamics(53)

Truly a compilation of stories concerning characters who are generous and kind and nonjudgmental, traits society rarely spotlights but are worth more than their weight in gold.

Yesss their relationship is a mood!!! Plus, the fact that cute things weren’t seen as abnormal and weak was awesome. Summary: Two brothers (one short -- in high school -- and one tall -- in elementary school) bond over discovery of the other person. ~Chapter 25

Princess Alicia is a modern woman from Tokyo, reborn as Alicia in a novel her sister wrote. Alicia was born in a small smithing town, with her mother and her half-brother by her side...until they discover that, at her mother's untimely death, her half-brother is the last heir of the noble crown to Lianne. He and his half-sister go to Lianne's capital, where the mc is trying to avoid all the 'doom flags/endings' and get the heck out of dodge with some guy named Lancelot, whose face she's never seen. Little does she know that she ends up sleeping with the novel's hero, Ares Crenoix, who takes a little more than a liking to her...and ends up entangled in her problems within the castle and the petty politics the main establishment is up to. She ends up at the castle, trying to increase her power and protect her little brother by ending up as Ares' weapons' advisor (all while telling herself that Ares is not her type). Edit: He proposes at the end of chapter 73 (despite them technically being engaged, or pretending to in order to introduce the idea of 'she's potentially going to see someone romantically' to her brother); also, the end of the season Edit: on the verge of answering his proposal in chapter 80 Edit 9/9/23: She proposes to him. - Chapter 85 Edit:1/9/24: They basically admits that they like each other - Chapter 109 ~Chapter 102

No...no, no, no. Chapter 7 onward is a downward spiral. And it had all the right explanations and all the right ingredients to be great.

The seme’s ex was literally such an interesting character! I understood why they both ended up in the place they did, and neither disrespected the other. I also appreciated the fact that there was a level of realism going on in the uke’s acceptance of his own feelings. He seemed to acknowledge the fact that he felt strongly about this person, but couldn’t reconcile those feelings with what it would be like to be in a same-sex relationship (which is fair, since he had likely never felt that way towards a guy, and being in a relationship with someone generally includes sex). Finally, he ended up acting on those feelings and deciding to choose the unknown for this other person.

Ha ha ha, another mask manga for the pandemic of the century (discounting the 1918 Spanish Influenza). This story has nothing to do with a pandemic though. Sayama, regular guy with a penchant for wearing a mask, ends up in the nurse's office after some douchebag (read: the main romantic lead) falls hard (literally, not figuratively) on Sayama and doesn't even apologize properly. Therein lies the set-up for the romance, and our mask-wearing hero is pursued. Update: Sadism, weird, creepy...Saikawa's got some issues... Update on update: Like, I understand why you've got the hots for him (bc he's a good kisser and smexy and whatever) but the feels? I don't get it brah... ~Chapter 7

Yaaaasss this is so good!!! Chapter 26 so far. The characters are all so defined and likable. Summary: There exists, in this world, muses, a type of human that must be wound by a key in his/her neck (where a keyhole sits) in order to function and prevent rusting. These humans, who are rare but not wholly uncommon, can give their keys to people called conductors, who they are supposed to trust and have the position of winding the key for the muse. In exchange, the conductor can hear the music of the muse who entrusted their key to them. The mc is a human that can hear the sound of any muse, whether or not s/he has handed his/her key to the mc. He can't turn their sound off, and many muses in one classroom means a cacophony of noises in his head, and has always hated muses as a result. The main character, after one trauma at his last school with a particular muse, has come to another school where he knows (somehow?) that this school doesn't have many muses. He then encounters one (whose music sounds beautiful to him), and the rest is history. ~Chapter 50

Actually pretty funny, but sometimes crossing the line. However, the dynamic between him and the uke is pretty different in the fact that I feel like the seme respects his personality (though not his boundaries). Despite being omegaverse, this is pretty good. ~ Chapter 8 Update: Mmm...chapter 7 was a little off. I'm gonna keep reading it though, but I don't like the creepy, possessive stuff and the promise of violence if something "wrong" was done.

~ Chapter 13 currently Truly a laugh out loud situation. What a weird setting to be part of...with such odd people ha ha ha. I never knew that you could communicate with some chinchillas by holding its pellets.
