supremecurt's manga / #age gap(171)

the jerk off in the cr bit was so out of place here lmao, like it could've gone the shounen ai route and it'll fit better. i tagged it as already read but i only skimmed. there's really not much going on, it's slice of life hands down. just reread this when i'm in need of fluff or sth. but overall, nothing special.

First story was about a writer who likes writing about old brothels, who met a young kid who had an idealistic vision of the city (the metaphor was that of a caged bird). Idk what to feel.about this one really. I didn't dislike it, but I didn't like it either lol. (and the mangaka loves drawing iced drinks on glasses. kind of weird that theyre always so detailed. perhaps it was a necessary point? like the kid got drugged coz of a drink after all lol) Second story... am i too obsessed with hijikata that im seeing a hijikata x okita au in this one istg. Guy gets his promiscuous friend captive in his house, you can tell he's somewhat guilty but he does it anyway lol. Out of jealousy and insecurity I'm sure. If the first couple was about freeing a caged bird, this one is about caging a wild bird lol. It actually ended up quite well for them. I found it a bit cute, actually lol. (and i don't get how people are saying this is open-ended... what ending are yall fuckers expecting, it's clear as day that they're together)

i just skimmed through it lol update: ...what even is their ages? it says chika is a senior citizen... somehow that made me lose all power to read it seriously lol. also, idk, i think this work is still very rough. mangaka needs more polish

ch1: Why the fuck are they all talking like this! Every goddamn sentence is an exclamation! Please! Make it stop! ch2: student thought he had an unrequited love with his incredibly kind professor ch3: CUTE. I LOVED THIS ONE. ch4: (i didnt read it, not my type of story) ch5: unrequited love with best friend who died. timeskip to him having taken care of the grown up son of said best friend. (plot twist: the best friend was actually in love with him fucking hell so sad)

I like the characters, but how on earth was the dude able to get inside the student's house in the first place?? That's just so weird... LMAO. Anyway, I'll just look past that bit and enjoy. The student is incredibly naive, and the other guy is a snacc.

I wish there were more sexy scenes lmao I kept waiting for the moment Gojyo will top lmao

LMAO THIS WAS FUNNY

uwu

update: well i read this again on 2023 and it's actually pretty good, idk what i was on in my first review lol it's pretty interesting. the mc's development is quite nice ________ idk... i want to like this but the dialogue is so confusing. not sure if it's the translation or what? but the flow in itself is already weird so i guess there's that too :(
