Sweet Trap
This was such a cute story! I’m a sucker for a playboy falling in love at first sight and I loved that he didn’t balk when he realized he was attracted to a guy. The ending left me expecting at prologue at the very least, but I would read so much more about these characters. Also, l loved the dom/sub undertones. Side note: It’s funny remembering that when I started reading yaoi years ago I was only comfortable when the uke was feminine and seme masculine (same thing with stories and tv) b/c I was trying to apply traditional gender roles and the expectations of stereotypical heterosexual relationships.. And now I CRAVE a dominant, feminine looking top! I realized how much I have changed reading this manga, because I went into it waiting for the playboy to be the bottom! I’m kinda proud that I now find all types of stories (gay/het...) way more engaging when characters don’t force gender roles and change up the power dynamics.

I really enjoyed this manga. The interaction between the uke and seme was hilarious (mainly because of the uke's "traumatic past" and his surprising pervy-ness). I would love to read more about their other dates and would love at least 2 more short stories for the other hosts. I just reread, and I feel pretty insulted on behalf of bears.

So this started off so cute and then the relationship quickly got strangely unhealthy (Yaoi always tricks me like this). But the seme and uke were crazy together so I guess that’s what really matters. Otherwise the art is really cute, and I loved the university set up. The seme was super likable.
