plip's manga / #Inferiority Complex(7)

""Are you going to spread your legs for me like you did for my brother?" After Louis was dumped by his boyfriend of many years, his ex-boyfriend's younger brother, Theo, appeared before him. Frustrated with Theo's relentless inquiring, and in spite of his dejection, Louis lied: "I was the one who broke up with your brother." That's when Theo started to follow him. "If my lie is uncovered, it'll all end. That's good." That must have been what he thought, but before he knew it, Theo’s obsession for him began." ✰ Older Professor Uke x Younger Ex-BF's Little Brother Seme ⤷ seme stalks brothers ex bf, becomes obsessed.

"University student Hikaru is an egoist whose type is "Girls who tell me that they like me." One day, something changes after finding his younger brother Hijiri going on a date with a younger boy (not really his lover). The stage is set for Gihou Ido's first comic!" ✰ Senpai x Kouhai; University ⤷ rly like this author + their art; story wasn't bad, just wasn't super invested. bit weird MC tried to h/u with a middle schooler at first tho, lol.

"Kanata Aoyama is an outgoing boy with many friends, but he also has a cold side. Akira Sen-kawa is a more reserved type who attends a class for more gifted students with excellent grades. Neither of them knows each other's names, they only know each other by sight. One day they have the opportunity to meet on the staircase leading to the roof of the school and it will be the staircase to the top floor that becomes their secret place." ✰ Outgoing, Popular ML x Reserved, Smart ML ⤷ this was really sweet; i liked the natural progression of the MCs relationship, obsessed with the trope where characters meet in an isolated area of the school to confide in each other. very nicely written. the angst was kind of odd; they both knew they liked each other but then dawdled... i loveee longer stories but it just seemed kind of unnecessarily dragged out? also. WHY DID BLONDE BOY GET A HAIRCUT HIS LONG HAIR WAS SO HOT!!! 4.5

"1-3) Sweet Bitter Candy Kawaguchi spent his entire life in high school as the short chubby kid, "Chidebu". His one secret was his admiration of the rebellious, openly gay Kanaya. Five years have passed and now that Kawaguchi has lost the weight (but is still short), does he have a chance of catching Kanaya's attention? 4-5) Wait a Little Longer Student council president Tone is used to being a slave driver, and he's sure being stuck with overly persistent kouhai Ninomiya is just another cross for him to bear. After all, Ninomiya already confessed to him and he's only joining the student council to be close to Tone. But even though Ninomiya turns out to be a great worker, Tone relax around him..." ✰ ⤷ the author's note on the end is so sad lol girl your art is fine. Don’t apologize. but also I really love their writing, even though their older stories have that older art style. The writing is just really great. sometimes a little confusing, but the relationships just develop really naturally and seem really realistic, not over the top/dramatic

"Imai, a member of a baseball team, has his eyes on Hikita, a younger member who works so hard despite how awkward he is. Whenever Hikita gets nervous, he seems to glare at people. Imai just finds him so cute. "I'm the only one who's noticed how sexy you are..." He tries to get close to Hikita, looking after him in the way a more experienced member should, when deep down, he just really wants to touch Hikita's naked body!" ✰ Senpai x Kouhai; Baseball Teammates ⤷ so sweet! art is down ugly tho

"Top students Kawase and Kurihara have been locked in an intense rivalry since the start of high school, unbeknownst to Kawase. No matter how hard Kurihara studies, he can’t seem to take the top spot. Kawase, taken aback by Kurihara’s hostile and self-damaging behavior, becomes determined to help him in any way he can." ✰ High School "Rivals" ⤷ loved the way Kurihara developed, i really feel for him! i loved his blunt and outwardly cold but inwardly sweet personality

N/A ✰ ⤷ idk i really expected this to be better bc the angst levels were high, esp with the uke(?) being kidnapped yada yada i was like oh this is boutta be good. but then it just wasn't. lol. i don't understand the ex-friends arc, why didn't the uke(?) fight back or have any thoughts on the matter or have any trauma? i dont get it. also don't get the uke and seme's relationship and it wrapped up way too quickly and neatly but also incompletely. lol idk!!!!
