My Purrfect Boss!
Eh...I don't know about this one. It's kind of funny but stupid. We'll see where it goes... ~ from reading chapter 1 It's pretty stupid...I just keep rolling my eyes at the whole premise (but, moreover, the execution). I don't like their relationship. Oh my god, I just want to bang my head against the wall. I kept reading chapter 4 after I clicked it (without reading all the other chapters before it), and there are just so many things the mc keeps doing after he realizes the romantic lead is from a different culture (literally from a different species, but it amounts to the same thing here). It's so cringggeeee uggggghhhhhh. Ngl I'm not going to continue to read unless I hear about some hotttt sex scene coming my way and then I'm all for those three pages (then capisce) (And honestly I probably won't read it anyway, since the material they're showing here is not my type of thing).
Ack! Its a Toy! Webtoon
Just kidding. I was all excited for this, but the ex-friend is a sleaze bag. Talk about gross, and violating personal boundaries. ~Chapter 1
Oreshika Shiranai Karada
A guy in love with his high school classmate asks him to sleep together. Thus starts the beginning of a sex-friends relationship, with the guy with feelings constantly second-guessing and unsure of the relationship that he has with the guy he is in love with but is not in love with him. Points for having an HEA, but I don't like the thesis of this manga and others like it, which reads: devotion and insecurity and reaction can get you someone you "want." No, because that's also the logic that stalkers use. ~Chapter 6
Souteigai no Sweet Marriage
A guy who lives for his cat is at the end of his rope when he is about to turn thirty. He is good at his work and handsome, and in this world, Japan has legalized same-sex marriage about six years ago, so he has no restrictions in that department. Despite his looks, and his charm, and his ability to succeed at this work, he doesn't want to get married. He's uninterested. Enter hot guy and another top salesman, who hears of his woes (his mother wants him to go on blind dates) and propose a fake marriage between the two of them. This manga is problematic for a specific reason. This would be a good plot if both were uninterested in marriage (truly) and later on fell in love with each other. Unfortunately, you have one party trying to manipulate his way around his crush, by trying to do the creepiest of all things and MARRY the guy at first sight. That is beyond weird. If I were in that situation, I may say, "Well, how about dating me? Why not give it a trial run, and see what you think." This would be a much more cute and honest way of trying to approach the situation. To be even more transparent, he should add, "I'm interested in you." This would be the start of an interesting plot, and to ease his plight, the main character could decide to take this chance and experience what it would be like to date someone. He could test his ideas of love and marriage, and perhaps reconsider his feelings about marriage and his ideas about himself. This would be an interesting, philosophical manga (or at least a cute and romantic one), if the plot had been steered at a crucial point; unfortunately, that's not what happened in this case. ~ Chapter 1
What’s the Probability of A Successful Love?
Sad hot guy with a killer reputation at the bar wants to drown away his sorrows when he finds out his best friend (and long-time crush) is getting married. He goes to the bar wanting to get laid, and finds a hot guy, who chases out a guy who wanted to sleep with the main character. He ends up sleeping with him (he honestly doesn't care what the guy looks like) but little does he know that in a month he'll end up running into him, right at his best friend's wedding... And that the hot guy seems to know who he is. Edit: Coercion, implied blackmail ~ Chapter 1
