Ambrosia's manga / #Unrequited Love(40)

This was very cute and good yearning! Fake dating started with uke trying to get rid of stalker, and seme proposes they continue fake dating and get intimate. They don't take it all the way until the end after they confess which is great bc that first time was so much better with the additional emotional weight and yearning. Uke is the very kind but naive type, seme is the kind of can't be bothered type but also really cute at the end with his secret crush on the uke since college. They both yearn at one point and think their love is unrequited even with the fake dating situation. A good read, would like to see more of their relationship.

list - opposites This was cute and okay. Uke is the shy studious type and seme is outgoing and mistaken for a player at first but actually not. Uke was in love with his best friend but that friend got a girlfriend and the seme befriended him. Turns out the seme knew his feelings and was in love with the uke too for a while. It was pretty cute and easy pacing, both were good people and no big issues. A slight bit of jealousy with the previous best friend but not bad. The translation was okay but felt a bit unnatural at times and so felt like the story lacked some depth. Overall could have been cleaned up a bit tighter both story and translation wise for a smoother read but not bad.

So this was super cute! Unrequited love and opposite personalities. Outgoing, friendly, kind of lonely playboy type seme but really quite friendly and respectful just can never seem to keep a girlfriend. Serious by the books but kind and tsundere uke who is very insecure deep down. Very dog x cat personalities. Uke has been in love with seme since they met in first year of college. Seme misunderstands him to be in love with his best friend, and painful yet kinda fun hilarity ensues. Seme slowly finds himself falling in love with uke, but bc they both do t want to burden the other there is misunderstanding and annoying angst. The build up of feelings was quite natural though, they both truly like each other for their personality and how good of a friend they are. They both help each other and it’s quite sweet. It can be a bit frustrating at times (especially the uke’s insecurity and constant pulling away) but it’s par the course for these tropes and once things are resolved they are very cute. Seme becomes a bit jealous/possessive and uke is quite sweet. They also have pretty good communication afterwards. Enjoyed it!

37: sorry but this is a classic example of why I hate the miscommunication trope. So stupid and pointless. Uke is beyond naive, he’s downright stupid. Oblivious and idiotic with just absolutely no sense of what other people could be thinking and always in his own head overthinking and coming to the most nonsensical conclusions. He’s supposed to be the cute clueless type but he is just so dense and annoying and frustrating, idk how the seme puts up with him. He has absolutely zero understanding of the seme, he really did just fall in love with the image of him and not the real person bc he doesn’t pay attention at all to the seme’s real thoughts and feelings and just doesn’t have the comprehension skills. We don’t get the seme’s pov and thoughts, but even so I could understand him perfectly just from how the uke misinterprets everything and how frustrating it must be. The seme is like the perfect guy but is thrown around and ends up driven a bit crazy and is possessive and very sensitive and constantly suspicious bc of years of the nonsense misunderstanding between them propelled by the uke. Yes, seme should have been upfront much sooner, but it’s understandable after the way he was spurned after their first kiss and how heartbroken and confused he must have been. His misunderstanding makes sense. The uke’s however just stems from his idiocy, lack of self confidence, and just complete obliviousness to others. It was so frustrating and got worse and worse as the story went on, even after they started dating. It started out with a pretty good unrequited feelings yearning and miscommunication longing, but was drawn out into a crapshoot with a barely functioning brained mc. Deep sigh. I can’t continue to read this bc no matter how cute they are together, the stupidity is just too much for me. And there’s alarming signs of toxicity, with the uke wanting to please and go along with anything seme wants and seme being overly possessive and suspicious to a stalker point. Seme is also showing red flags of being suspicious of literally everyone in uke’s life, even his sister and friends, and wanting to isolate him from them. Also didn’t stop the second round when uke asked to stop… big sigh. And what’s unfortunate is that they could have had a really wholesome and sweet relationship, with the uke as the cute sunshine one to be spoiled and the seme as someone devoted and doting who loved to spoil him, but the years of frustration and misunderstanding on top of the uke’s current stupidity and inability to understand the seme’s feelings, have twisted things into this relationship they have now. Unfortunately I just can’t bear to read more. Art is stunning though, very clean and pretty. Wasted on this story.

Pretty cute. Unrequited love and a re-encounter scenario. Seme was a chubby kid who changed himself but uke liked him back when he was chubby and has a bit of a fat fetish now. Uke is the slutty type who doesn't take things serious, but he actually really likes seme and is clever and protective. Seme is quite sweet, the naturally kind type and a bit naive or sheltered and typically very straightforward and bit haughty but kind of in an endearing way.

This was interesting and complex. A toxic relationship, emotionally abusive and not in the typical sexual abuse/rape way. Both parties can be at fault, though I do think the seme comes off worse though I understand why the uke is not blameless. There is just plain meanness, negging, controlling, jealousy and obsession, guilt tripping, near revenge porn on the part of the seme. Uke is persistent in love bombing even when turned away, then lacks clear communication and empathy when he gets bored and drops the other person like a hot potato. Though he was worse to the redhead partner than current partner. With the redhead he was basically stalking, with his persistent love bombing and inability to take no for an answer despite the redhead's clear refusal. Their relationship seemed to be all good though until he lost interest and tried to cut off his partner with no communication. But afterwards, redhead's violence is all on him though it's sad things turned out that way. With seme, seme was toxic towards him from the beginning so him cutting off the seme when it got too much is more understandable. Though he shouldn't have pursued him from the beginning bc he knew what the seme was like and seme had set clear boundaries and expectations, which uke's persistent pushy nature ignored. Seme's nature was explained as the neglect and lack of emotional warmth he was shown as a child, but less traumatic than other stories with this same backstory. It was definitely messy and toxic, but they seem to be improving in communicating and setting boundaries with each other and are on the way to a healthier relationship. They should definitely both get therapy, separately and couples therapy until they can handle it themselves though.

Aww really sweet childhood friends to lovers, where seme had an unrequited love. It progressed quite naturally and uke took the time to realize his feelings. They're very comfortable with each other and progressed their relationship smoothly and swiftly after that. They were basically attached at the hip before and now you can really feel the love between them. Quite openly affectionate, both with their actions and their words. Good communication and understanding of each other, and similar sexual drive. Some dubcon moments which are overlooked by the fact that both parties wanted it anyways, on both the uke and seme's side. A really lovely couple and we get a good amount of depth and character as well.

That was quite cute!! A good mix of sexy and wholesome. Uke has always been in love with seme, and confesses in a prank set up by his friends. They start dating and seme develops feelings, there the drama with the reveal but it's resolved well. Uke is the cute smol type and seme is the handsome tall laid back and fashionable type. They were already pretty much acting like a couple as friends so the transition was pretty smooth. Very affectionate couple and their desires are reciprocated. It was great but missing a little something...maybe it's the translation or something but sometimes I couldn't feel the seme's heart? Or it seemed to lack a little heart or depth idk...maybe bc there were a lot of smut scenes which could have been substituted for development. But still a great read and enjoyed the character types and dynamic.
