Attachment Love

Complete | Matsumoto Yoh | 2000 released

the translation was probably not good enough for the full depth of the character to be explored (sometimes, I didn't really understand what he meant lol). But when you extrapolate, the story is pretty sad, deep and lovely (even tho the seme is stupid for pretending to be a motherfucking flasher just to get the attention of the uke; jesus, that's dumb).

CUFFED!

Complete | Guwang | 2022 released

The plot, saddly, was predictable. When the MC spent the night with the second guy in the love triangle, I could tell what the reaction of the main love interest was going to be. Which means, this story is automatically given a 2/5 (since the art is good). Although it was original for it to have « outlawed gay people », the main love interest rapes the MC MANY TIMES and then when they kind of «officially» get together, he apologizes about bullying him, like it's just been a little annoying. AS IF HE HASN'T BEEN FORCING HIM AND NOT LISTENING WHEN HE SAYS STOP AND NO!? Which makes me deduct one more star for rape. I feel like the main love interest has nothing to make me like him; yes he's cunning, but it's in a manipulative way and he shows no vulnerability, except surface level ; he never listens to the MC's limits ; they were «friends» in the past, yet the manga never shows them being actual GOOD FRIENDS and kind to one another in the past, AND the MC even keeps saying how he fucking hated him and he made his school life horrible and annoying. WE HAVE NO REASON TO ROOT FOR HIM OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THE OTHER GUY (the second choice in this dumb love triangle) IS SLOWLY TURNING INTO AN INCEL AND GETTING COCKHOLDED. :C
