ni-ka-CHUUUUUUUUUU's manga / #gahhhhhhhh(586)

First story particularly vol 1. Holy fuck where have you been all my life?!?!?! Fluff and smut best balanced combo in yaoi one could ask for!!!!! Veeeeery shoujo but don't care. Issue: the amount of misunderstandings and lack of trust. This is so fucking girly so I get that there's this shit ton of this because i will agree it makes it less enjoyable (and that's why I don't really like long mangas because it's usually just the misunderstandings of an already established couple). I love misunderstandings because it makes me feel but it's a lot more organic and enjoyable during the "chase" part of the couples stage. Which is why I love short mangas because they usually stop once the couple is established or still on there beginnings of their relationship. It's much more exciting. Second story: hella dramatic and angsty and has a very familiar shoujo feel because of the love triangle. One could sense the primary and secondary characters from a mile away so it came as no surprise when the older brother was picked. This treads in gray area on reasons for infidelity (though imo he's married so any excuses are bs).

So melodramatic like much of this mangakas work but made me feel the feels.

Holy shit his ass doesn't quit!

So cliche but Reread: **** can't help it love it!

OH MY GOD KILL ME. I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER READ A MANGA SO FUCKING ADORABLE AND HILARIOUS IN MY WHOLE LIFE. GAHHHHHHHH I THINK I'M GONNA DIE THIS WAS WAY TO CUTE. ASFDDSJLASDGHLKAFHLAGK

Awe so cute.

This was one giant feel-good manga. I'll admit the first half was a little difficult for me to get into because while the subject is somewhat heavy and serious, I just wasn't really into the story or had much of an attachment to the characters (probably because this manga is also hella fluffy making it lack emotional weight). But as it progressed, I grew to really like it. The characters have such an organic and pure romantic development that it really makes you feel like you're going on this journey with them. But the one thing that really sold this to me was the concept/moral. I absolutely loved the issue they address about hearing impairment and how it is often overlooked because it is often deemed as not as big of an issue as complete deafness. Because of this common misconception, characters with this impairment not only have to work hard trying to get through everyday with difficulty, but also seem to have try harder adjusting themselves just to make it easier and more comfortable for everyone else to understand them. This really hits home for me because I've been diagnosed, and am still struggling, with ADD since I was 8. And it's because of the common idea that "ADD/ADHD isn't a real thing" or that "everyone has trouble focusing" that I've spent much of life telling myself what I have isn't a "real problem." Of course I don't let having ADD completely define who I am, but like the one's in the manga who have hearing impairment, passing off one's physical or psychological impairment as being just an excuse or no big deal can really make the struggle even harder. *Most definitely the best message/moral I've read in a shounen-ai/yaoi.

Awwww this is so cute. Reread: 4.5
