RoseMary's manga / #Slice of Life(571)

Uncle x Nephew (not sure if they are really related by blood) // The uncle seems to be the uke - Hope to read the whole story! Really want to see how things will develop between them! From the raws, I totally like it, it's a very nice story and there are some of my fav tropes, altough I wouldn't say it's really a great work and I feel in the end it will probably leave me wanting more. I can already say that I definitely wanted to see more of the side couple (the protagonist's classmate and that other student). 57 Chapters + Extra (Complete) - RAW: colamanhua.com / manga-ed91476 /

Mixed feelings about this story... I liked it for two reasons. Firstly, because it's an old manga, so I liked the whole old atmosphere, and, secondly, because it's a family affair story. And that's why I added this to my old-style romance and family affair lists. But I'll say that it was also a frustrating story for two other reasons. Well, first of all, as an avid BL reader, if I see a guy kissing another guy (and more than once at that!), I tend to automatically ship them, so the whole situation of Aoi and Sumire all along the story was frustrating for me, BUT, and from this I'll come then to the second reason, I actually found mysef liking Aoi and Yuri together so much, also because I didn't like Sumire much in the first place, so I was rooting for Aoi and Yuri instead! [Spoiler] But sadly they didn't end up together. I mean, no surprise there really, because they went for the obvious predictable course. It was obvious she would end up with Sumire...but I really liked Aoi and Yuri's interaction and moments all along the story, so I strongly hoped that they would end up together somehow! I don't care if they are half-siblings since it's a manga. I really think it would have been a more interesting outcome, if they ended up together. So, I can't really hide my disappointment about this. Anyway, having said all that, overall it's a good oldie, although I'm clearly not a fan of the couple...

Contrary to what it seemed at first, as they kept referring to themselves as brothers, it seems to me this isn't a family affair story at all, because they aren't actually brothers or anything. They are childhood friends and they families are also close. If anything, it's said that the older guy's parents were the younger one's godparents, but that doesn't make them related...

// Older Brother x Younger Sister // - Beautiful incest story. The anime was beautiful as well.

Kinda silly and definitely average, nothing special really, but overall nice.

1 Volume (Complete) - Dropped... > Not a fav, but I kinda like it.
