RoseMary's manga / #Adult Couple(236)

Ok story, don't like the art style...

Foreign Setting (America) // American Seme x Asian Uke // Interracial Couple

So cute! But it's only the beginning of their story...wish it was developed with a nice slow pace, into a longer series!

Personally, I think this story is so overrated, as it's actually so average and insipid...nothing special! It was quite bland: for example, all the settings and backgrounds were very basic and bland (which remains the right word to describe everything about this!). There was nothing eyecatching, really...and it was boring as well, especially the more it dragged on, the more it became unbearable: it got so boring, in the end I read some of the last epilogue chapters just going through them quickly, because I didn't want to waste any more time and I just wanted to get it over with! The characters themselves weren't interesting. Well, we could say that Haebom was a cute kid, but still plain. And Taesung wasn't that likeable for me. At first, it was cute, so I thought that had to be the strong point of the story and the reason why it had such a high rating...but, underneath that cute appearance, there were parts|scenes that left a bitter taste, like those scenes where the seme lost control and the sex was kinda forced on the uke...that added a toxic scent to the relationship! And talking about sex, while at first it took them a while to finally do it [ch. 63 they finally have their first intimate contact // ch. 66 they finally do it], then it became so full of sex scenes that I got tired of it! From the third season, it became repetitive and boring. Seriously, of course I was excited when they finally did it and, after a long wait, maybe the author even tried to make up for it by finally giving us many intimate scenes...but, after a bit, it became too much, because almost every chapter was about them doing it! u.u In the end, I gave it three stars, because it wasn't entirely bad and I still kinda liked it, let's say, but it was more of a 2-stars-story!

[From Lililicious] Misono and Masami are working women in a long-term relationship; they even live together. Most of the story revolves around their sexual exploits, but there are also some sweet domestic moments. •[️]• Well, generally I'm not much into established relationships, as I like to see how things begin, develop and such, but I think I like this simple story. It must be mostly because I like the type of couple, appearance-wise, and I love 90s stuff! Anyway, it's only the first chapter, so I'd like to read the rest... 1 Volume (Complete)

.•✬[]✬•. Densha Otoko / Train Man series - // Based on a True Story // A real-life thread on an Internet forum got so popular that it became a phenomenon in Japan and was adapted into many different types of media. > An otaku guy intervenes to help a beautiful lady who's being harassed by a drunk man on a train. Then, the woman thanks him for saving her and unexpectedly even asks for his address! A few days later, he receives a package from her, a thank-you gift. Not knowing what to think and do about it, he posts a query on the Web asking for advice... > Well, it wasn't exactly my kind of story or a story I generally would love to read, so I honestly wasn't wholeheartedly into it and so maybe I found it a bit boring because of that, but I read it all till the end and I appreciated it overall! Even if it isn't a fav of mine, it was definitely a really good story, justly deserving a high rating - 4 stars for me! It was well-structured, developed in the right portions throughout these three volumes; it had some beautiful romantic scenes with a very nice atmosphere during their dates and the conclusion was satisfying, wrapping the story up nicely! Oh, and I really liked the old-style drawings, which gave a vintage vibe to the story! 4 manga adaptations came out in 2005: > mangago.me / read-manga / densha_otoko_ganbare_doku_otoko / > mangago.me / read-manga / densha_otoko / > mangaupdates.com / series.html?id=6344 (not scanlated) > mangaupdates.com / series.html?id=6875 (not scanlated) Live-action Drama & Movie
