ArtemisFowl's manga / #dropped(38)

Farm-boy Lee moved to Australia for a gap year from school, both in order to learn English and pay his parents and for his education. He's about to end a peaceful year peacefully as employee of the year when his supervisor tells him there's a party, where the donor of the farm he works at is hosting, along with the son. The day of the party the supervisor calls in sick, telling Lee he has to secure the funds for next year before the night's end and sends him on his way. The naive Lee tries to make his way towards the president of the farm, only to be pushed out by the crowd swarming around the president. He makes his way upstairs where the party venue is less crowded, to hear a noise coming into the hallway from a room along a corridor. He stops to look inside, seeing a very handsome man playing a beautiful song. Slightly drunk, he comes inside and they have an exchange, where the handsome piano player very quickly makes a move on Lee. They definitely have sex, as seen in the first part of the chapter, but what will become of them in this exchange? ~ Chapter 1

Falls in lust with this guy (it's the hottie who he keeps on having future dream sex with -- his dreams show him the future), who he says some very rude things to and ends up having sex with. This could have been a really good set up with an awesome plot, only for that idea to swiftly fall apart as soon as he opens his mouth and starts talking to him at their first meeting. ~Chapter 2

I don't really understand the reason for them having the relationship they had in the past...I mean, it seems like the uke's (who I'm presuming is the uke, in this very black and white binary) behavior in terms of taking and posting pictures would be pretty normal for the industry. I don't understand why the seme is exactly cold in the first place, and really why the uke is interested in someone who is that bluntly rude. That guy doesn't seem to give him the light of day at all at the beginning. After they become friends, I liked their relationship, but man, that chapter three was...ARGH!!! Why, WHY even before admitting that you're kind of interested in them in that way would you ask to do that???! He can't even admit it to himself! He has to first acknowledge his own feelings, clarify what he wants with this person, and then pursue a line of action based on that. He is not the most egregious case of something like this, but it bugs me all the same. Two idols who don't get along very well (one likes the other one, but the other one doesn't like him) end up forming a friendship after a secret is revealed by the second one (the one who is gruff). Suddenly, there are more complicated feelings in the first person (the fluffy idol) that may seem to be more complex than friendship. How is he supposed to deal with his feelings moving forward? ~Chapter 3

Good concept, poor execution. *cries in corner quietly* Restaurateur meets host club host every night after his (host's) job -- he and his cohorts are the only ones who go to the restaurant. Restaurateur thinks he's trashy, only to change his mind when he hears his life's philosophy and the actions that back up those words... ~Chapter 2

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).

Combini store guy and an older salary man...a hot night in the shower after a rainy day leads to a post-sex date that reveals their ages -- which freaks the older guy out. They decide to go out -- on trial. ~Chapter 6

I don't like how much hatred this dude has for this other dude. It's honestly creepy. Just because you don't like some rich people doesn't mean all rich people are horrible (which is true for other labels too). Dude's got it all except for the fact that his body is suuuuuper sensitive. He ends up trying to take out his *ahem*...frustrations... by going to the gym, only to bump into the pervert who keeps touching his body in later chapters. Thus sex galore ensues. *Reading chapter 8 for the heck of sex* Why can't he just end up with the colleague, not this douchebag loser *cries loudly*. Gah, the world is criminally unfair to manga ukes who deserve much better.

Babysitter sleeps with single father. Drama and chaos ensues. ~Chapter 2
