ni-ka-CHUUUUUUUUUU's manga / #music(7)

3.5. School rock band slice of life type. Cute but everything is typical (uke is all dark and mysterious and seme seems to fall in love first). Actually ship the main seme with the secondary seme. This manga is so meh for me. 20231204 Yeahhhh still to this day it's just all right. I mean it's pretty nice and realistic and relatable. But idk it kind of think the MC s take themselves a little too. Seriously? Like I get it. It's music and it's very personal for everyone. But dear God is this melodramatic. It also felt like it was trying to be really profound and slice of lifey but all the times I didn't really get what the story was trying to say. Also, there's way too many couples Also the mangaka is such a tease.

I mean eh... I'll continue reading it but I could care less about this manga.

I haven't read much of Harada's works but I'm still familiar with her works and how they often have fucked up plot twists. And I actually quite enjoy yaoi with messed up stories because it makes the characters and storyline complex and actually interesting rather than being the typical yaoi that's full-on fluff or full-on smut. But what I feel for this manga is... complicated. There is just sooooo much going on in this. Originally the manga was doing a good job using these twists to introduce and develop its characters: the horny straight seme shows his sadistic tendencies as his sexual relationship with the uke progresses. And the scene where he injuries a girl fan and you can see he has some deep insecurity as everyone looks at him in disgust. But after chapter 5... BAM! All this major shit happens. I can see that having the seme go through all of that will probably humanize him later in the story; but I thought that the whole idea of why it happened and the ones who did it to him was just so random to the point that it was ridiculous. I felt like the mangaka thought "hmmm what's the most fucked up way we can fuck up the seme?" But, based on comments I'm assuming this is just the mangaka's style and I'm still pretty new to her work. Regardless, I'll still follow this manga and read it till it's finished. I just have a lot of mixed and conflicted feelings for this one.

ooooooooooooooo AFTER CHP 3: OH MY GOD I NEED MORE AFTER RAWS: OH MY GOD. STRAIGHT FROM 3 TO 5. ANOTHER FUCKING MASTERPIECE.

Wahhhhhh I can't. One of the tags is possessive seme? Interesting...

Oh my God this is so lovely. Very well written and thoughtful. I really like how the author portrays the little life difficulties a deaf person goes through. And in a nuance way at that. It's really refreshing to read a bl that isn't just heavy-handed, especially what it's addressing hearing impairment. This is so great and I'm so happy that there's a second volume. I can't wait for more
