Ambrosia's manga / #Childhood Friends(42)

list - masterlist, cotton candy, hidden Theeee ultimate best friends to lovers story!! Soooo sweet and wholesome!!!! Sprinkle of drama because unrequited feelings and all but so good and cute

list - smut fluff, top tier Surprisingly wholesome for a story about a stripper. Everyone in this story is just so nice, and it makes stripping seem like such a clean and friendly job environment. Seme was super sweet and respectful, childhood friends to lovers dynamic was really well explained, though it felt like they got together pretty quickly but there's only so many chapters to the story. I liked learning about their past and background together though, and the family dynamic that really added weight to their relationship. Everyone was so nice that it felt fake kind of, but this is an ideal fictional world in the first place. I liked how understanding the seme was and how well they communicated. Also liked how each character was given a motive.

list - masterlist, cinnamon, seme pov, This was really sweet! It was interesting if not completely unique, but it was written really well so it felt fresh and made an impact on me. Lots of attention to detail that made the characters feel real and made the writing really stand out to me, for example when Ichigo says all the things in his imaginary world and then the line "a strawberry can't become a peach....i can't become my sister" when their names are Ichigo (strawberry) and Momo (peach). Or when Hirono realizes that Hime is afraid of thunder because of the night when his sister died or afraid of that being ignored hurts him more bc of how his mother treated him. It was really beautiful. The characters were wonderfully mature in their own way, while still being kids and struggling to figure out themselves and their feelings and come to terms with their sexuality. They still tried to own up to their actions and communicated their feelings and apologized in a way that with much more emotional maturity than I see in many stories with adults. The characters were well fleshed out with reasons for their actions and beautiful character development. Even the mom had an understandable reason and had closure in the end. Along with the main story/plot, these are kids figuring themselves out, finding love, and growing up along the way and it was beautiful to read about. I only wish there was more. 10/10 5/5

list - masterlist, cotton candy, seme first last extras - cuddling and kisses? This was so warm and sweet and wholesome and just everything good in the world. Purest pure happiness! Both of them are such good people, no sex at all so can’t assume who was the seme except by stereotypical classifications. Seme was such a good person, genuinely so respectful and amazing. Uke was also a good person, and very considerate of the seme’s feelings. There wasn’t a lot of awkwardness, just a lovely progression of feelings with real thoughtfulness and it was easy to see why they developed feelings for each other. I genuinely loved this, it made me so warm and was so sweet. Even if it didn’t show a lot of moments, they were very comfortable with each other and their affection for each other was very clear. 5/5

list - wip, smut fluff Uncensored but no real smut till the last few chapters Aww this was cute as I remember. They blush SO MUCH and their interactions were cute yet comfortable bc of the childhood friends thing, a natural chemistry. Uke is a bit of a tsundere but not that shy about what he wants. Seme is the big brother type and kind of clueless in love, but doting and cutely blushes a lot as well. The heart rash was a convenient and cute idea. Really liked the second couple too even if they only had a chapter. The puppy seme and beautiful cat uke who had been hurt in the past, one of my favorite tropes.

quick and cute little childhood friends to lovers with a possessive seme who is clingy and sweet only to the uke and cold to everyone else. Uke is the naive and innocent cinnamon roll type.

List: 9.5+ Aww this was such a sweet and simple story! Friends to lovers with mutual love and an easy progression. We’re introduced to them as friends already with feelings, and they progress to lovers so naturally. One wants to be a fisherman and one is figuring out life, and it touches on that bit of youth where you’re figuring things out and finding yourself without getting too deep. No seme or uke shown but you can type them. Seme is the puppy type and uke is pretty and cool. They’re very understanding and supportive of each other. And since they’re friends they’re quite affectionate it’s very cute. Loved it!
