alice-chan's manga / #childhood friends(35)

beautiful, pure, and heartbreaking. in just 3 chapters (and 1 extra), I managed to feel an astounding range of emotions. It was adorable, and had depth, and made me cry. the emotions that the characters and the story itself conveyed was truly amazing. I felt their regret, sadness, longing, their love that couldn't be. it hurt and yet I reread it 3 times so far. plus, the art is absolutely gorgeous

I'm very impressed because: I can't read it if the art is bad, and I hated the art of this manga. and yet! I continued reading (even tho I wanted to drop it after seeing the art in ch1). that's really impressive. the story was so gently paced and sweet and fluffy that I couldn't drop it. however, in ch6 (which is a separate story), the art got so bad that I did drop it :(

the art was gorgeous, the story was interesting and the smut was hot. the characters were cute and there were funny moments. on paper that sounds like my ideal yaoi but somehow there's a lot of things I'm unsatisfied with (still giving it 4 stars tho) I agree with the comments, something was off. the ending was unsatisfying somehow, even though technically there's a nice little happy ending tied in a bow. again, like a lot of people in the comments are saying, the uke didn't get to express his own sex appeal and potential, and the same 'got it all' but the uke didn't; he didn't even get his talent acknowledged by the seme. Also their whole relationship feels a bit one-sided because it feels like the seme doesn't see them as equals, neither in bed or business. well, I'm glad their love is mutual, that was really cute, but I'm also unsatisfied with the sex scenes because they stopped right at the best part EVERY TIME ╥﹏╥ to conclude, I wish there were some more things explored but overall it checked all the boxes for me and I liked it a lot, will def reread !! ~

wholesome and seriously good for a one shot. felt very completed. ah, it was so cute

so cute and comedic and fluffy and light and soft and innocent. I love it. ch10- NOOOOOO omg what thats it thats the end?!?!?!! not enough AT ALL!

started off very cute and fluff, I really loved ch1. it could've been a really sweet story about childhood friends reuniting and realizing their love, but instead it took an unexpected dark turn (rape). I'm used to seeing rape in yaoi but it was just somehow so disappointing in this story, especially the personality of the seme- he was way cuter as a kid, and I was so sad with his character development. the story just really went downhill from the first chapter. idk why the rape really got to me in this yaoi, like I said, I'm used to seeing it quite often. maybe it's because the uke was saying it was his fault, when it really wasn't. 3 stars because I really liked ch1 and thought the art was good, but yeah, plot disappointed me and it's not going on any of my lists

2nd story was cute a 2.5, it was pretty average overall

22.5.2020 wish I dated everything before :( A very sweet slice of life manga, feels like a compilation of stories (which I guess what slice of life means lmao), it was cute to read and I like the idea of them being literal opposites but still having these pure and genuine feelings for each other.
