Ambrosia's manga / #puppy x cat(24)

50+ 53: I absolutely adore this. It's refreshing and sweet and melancholy. Beautiful art and characters with some depth. Uke that has social anxiety or rather in public spaces, and seme that is used to giving up what he wants. Sweet seme and tough uke where it could have been reversed. Also rich and poor trope where the uke dotes on the seme. Both are quite thoughtful and considerate, while the uke is more straightforward in initiating at first, the seme becomes quite affectionate as well. Very wholesome couple with a good build up of the relationship in the first half, and a nice blend of affection and smut in the second.

list - turn tables, BAMF, sweet seme, 9.5+ 50+ Just starting out but the alpha omega dynamic is basically men and women dynamic (as always) except now it’s two men. And the omega/woman has to go through childbirth and STILL go back to work to provide for the family?? Boy if you don’t… They’re cute and really sweet! The uke is so pretty and cool. Seme is a total puppy.

list - masterlist, unique 120+ season 1 is one of my absolute favorites, but season 2 was a lot more messy/incohesive and I barely have any interest to read season 3 at all. It really fell off so I have to take it off my favorites list, but it's still a good read. Season 1 can be a stand alone honestly and an excellent work if it was. Shin and Wolfgang's adult relationship was a lot different and more frustrating than I thought it would be, and not for the right reasons. I thought we'd go into what was hinted at the end of season 1, the curse of power on the royal bloodline and Wolfgang struggling with that and the want to own and control or with tyrant tendencies, but he's remained a good egg (the best!). Instead the drama stemmed from Shin overworking and overthinking as always, and while I do understand him and defended him, it was just so drawn out and overcomplicated for no reason. I wanted to see more of the romantic side and them reciprocating each other's feelings, but Shin is still too reserved/tsundere that it's not satisfying. He was a lot more honest and forward as a child. Then what seems like the entire drama of season 2 is solved so conveniently in season 3 by....magic... like literally created a magic baby out of thin air to be the heir. Very unserious and unraveled a lot of the depth of groundwork of season 1. The magic/fantasy element was there a little in season 1 and served to add a little interest, but the more they delved into the magic/fantasy aspect without really a clear framework, the more convoluted and nonsensical the story became. It really fell off and that's so sad to say bc I love these characters and really loved season 1. ➼ historical / royalty / unique plot / interesting characters / political intrigue / full color ➼ charismatic good-hearted seme x reserved intelligent uke Great writing with characters that you'll easily fall in love with - Season 1 Gorgeous full color art ❖ Mature version of season 2: http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/king_s_maker_triple_crown/ ∴ pederasty - not between mcs and not romanticized

25: really good so far! action bl in the world of vampires where our mcs are special agents that hunt them. Shounen ai but kind of classic puppy seme x cat uke types. Seme is rich and polite and talented, and wants to get closer to the uke but is constantly brushed off. He can also be a bit cold, the type who is all smiles but has the possibility of being a bit manipulative, although he's a really good guy so far and hasn't shown any red flags. He does crave the attention of the uke and I can see him being possessive/jealous in the future. Also he seems to have a praise kink which I love. Uke is the cool cat type, a tough agent and great fighter but doesn't easily get close to anyone and seems to not care about anything / is always napping. But he's very dedicated to the people he cares for. It's cool that they show him as such an amazing fighter, and that the seme is clearly weaker as the rookie, even though seme is talented as well but their experience is different and it shows. It's a nice mix and different dynamic, and I enjoy it a lot. Really enjoying it so far, the plot is interesting even though it's just training really so far, the characters are great and I love the dynamic. Art is nice too and translations are official. Has a lot of promise, hope it continues.
