alice-chan's manga / #Drama(81)

best one of the series! I don't think the order matters too much tbh but here it is (I read them all out of order): - Mr.Arihara's Secret Circumstances - Ijiwaru Shinai de Dakishimete - Furete, Aishite, Dakishimete All 3 have multiple stories each and I really like that all stories have shared characters (literally each character knows at least one other character from the other story lol. everyone is gay in this universe! XD) 1) Touma x Chiaki (Touma is friends with Tokida) (Chiaki co-stars with Arihara) 2) Tokida x Takeuchi (Takeuchi is friends with Takashi) (Tokida is Seno's uncle, manager of the bar. I'm guessing there's a timeline skip because I don't think he can be a bar manager and a university student at the same time) 3) Takashi x Takahiro (Takashi, friends with Takeuchi) (Takahiro, fellow idol in anDe with Matsushita) 4) Arihara x Matsushita (Matsushita is an idol in band anDe) (Arihara is an actor, whose current and former managers Nagai and Masano have potential ~ co-stars with Chiaki) 5) Seno x Hakamada (Seno is the bartender at the bar Micchan and Yuuichirou visit. He is a fan of the show Chiaki and Arihara star in, directed by Hakamada. Tokida is his uncle) 6) Micchan x Yuuichirou (clients at bar where Seno bartends and Tokida is manager) (Seiji is Yuuichirou's client) 7) Seiji x Daigo (Seiji is a client of Yuuichirou, who was briefly interested in Seiji) 8) Seki x Ikehata (the only couple not related to everyone else lol) 9) Nagai x Masano (technically not a couple but we ship haha) Matsushita and Arihara are my favorite couple :) Arihara is so fucking cute I can't~ I do wish they would switch tho. I also want Micchan and Yuuichirou to switch as well

5.5.2020 Art is gorgeous, obviously. Characters both have clear personalities and I really liked how their relationship developed.

I can't believe this was on my 'to read' list I read this so long ago lmao.

I don't really understand why this has such a high rating... I mean, I guess it was sorta cute? The basic concept of the story should be clear, but instead the storyline is confusing and drawn out but somehow not explained enough. The puppy-like some, instead of endearing, is annoying, and so is the MC. The best friend is a weird character too, his presence was probably even more confusing than the plot. The cover art is beautiful- the art in the story is not as good and not consistent. Basically, I didn't enjoy it. 2 stars

I haven't watched this anime, I don't know the characters, and yet it was still awesome

made me feel a type of way ~

I wouldn't describe this as shota? I mean, they didn't do anything when he was a kid. Or am I remembering this wrong
