WHY SO SHORT

I really liked about 80% of this. The art is great, the characters are HOT, Seojin is very mature and communicative. So I could overlook the extremely dicey opening where Jaeha straddles an unconscious Seojin, cums on his chest, then crawls back under his covers like he didn’t just commit a crime, but I can’t with the side story. The sex scene that wrapped up the main story was so good because they were both really into it, so the fact that the side story got rapey out of nowhere was fucked up and really disappointing. I kept hoping it was some pre-established kink and Seojin was faking being asleep, but nope. Apparently we just can’t have nice things.

Sort of cute but with an ominous undertone? Especially at the end. Run away hyung.

Read season 1. My god this is perfection. The story is sweet and wholesome, while also being incredibly hot. Their chemistry is off the charts and the smut is so satisfying because everything is mutual and consensual and you can tell they’re having FUN. Even just watching them kiss is electric. They act like the adults they are and actually communicate! The art is great, I love all the characters, the story is interesting, hilarious, and emotional. Chef’s kiss. My soul has been rejuvenated. S1: 25 Chapters + Review S2: 6 Chapters

This was really cute, refreshing read. Nothing crazy dramatic, just a nice realistic slice of life. I really liked the main couple, so at first I was a bit disappointed that season 2 and half the epilogue revolved around the side couple. I never got quite as into Bumchul and Kim Jaehee (mostly because Bumchul annoyed me a lot), but I still enjoyed their story. Arguably they were more interesting than Sunjin and Wooseung, who have a pretty easygoing relationship without much conflict. Bumchul and Kim Jaehee have very different personalities and ways of showing affection, so there was more to navigate and compromise on. Both couples communicate really well, especially the latter, and the problems they do run into are realistic and not contrived just for plot purposes. I really appreciate that they all look like normal people with normal dicks, as opposed to office workers who are somehow secretly super jacked with dicks the size of hydro flasks. There’s lots of sex, but it never felt particularly smutty. And a big gold star to this story for always showing fully consensual, mutually enjoyable, SAFE SEX! In one instance Wooseung even asks if they can do it without a condom since they ran out, but Sunjin shoots him down. That’s huge and SO uncommon in yaoi. Their friends are great, but I particularly loved JJ. It’s the first time I’ve seen an explicitly asexual (likely aromantic as well) character, and as someone on the ace spectrum, it means a lot to see that representation. It was done really well, too - his view of love and attraction and what he would want in a relationship were all very relatable. The fact that he would still want a relationship without sex wasn’t treated like some kind of contradiction either - Kim Jaehee took the time to look it up and in some ways identified with where JJ was coming from, even if it wasn’t his own situation. There are all kinds of relationships, and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that acknowledged before. It made me really happy.

Abrupt end, no build up of past relationship -they went on ONE date. Awkward writing, bad translation. Uncensored beefy bottom and pretty art I guess. Though about 30% of the time MC has crazy eyes.
