just_m3h's manga / #Housekeeper/Butler(10)

Well done, sensei. Well done. It was so adorable.

I am at a complete loss as to why this is so highly rated! 1: Hiroto, who works at a convenient store runs into Mamoru and his single father, Suguru, in the park. Mamoru loves Hiroto's cooking and after being offered a hefty sum, the poor Hiroto agrees to be their housekeeper. I really disliked how easily the seme dismissed the uke's explanations. Absolutely abhorred the interloping brother and am disappointed with how spineless the uke was. 3* 2: Youhei experiences his first love with Takumi, an otaku at his high school. Only, Takumi's interests do not go beyond 2D. It was all right, I suppose. Rushed with little depth, but still held up fine, because it was so short. 3* 3: Riku is kidnapped and kept as Kazuyas's sex toy, to prevent him from marrying Kazuya's brother because he either disapproves of the disparity in status or the fact that it's a homosexual relationship. But of course, he has no qualms doing the same thing himself. I cannot believe you would fall in love with this person :/ 2*

the story with the room that has a line which goes the middle - chapters 4-5 ("Aki" name story)

1: Shou, who lives with the camera Shiba as his assistant after his parents died, is suddenly asked to be a model by Amamiya, the chairman of a productions group. Shou reluctantly agrees because he doesn't want to keep burdening Shiba. 4* 58: Rin is the rich young master, who is Amaya's cousin, and works as a model in his comapny. Rin is infatuated with Amamiya but has a physical relationship with his butler, Kazusa. 3* 88: Yuki and Kei have been childhood friends and neighbours for as long as they can remember. But when Kei kisses Yuki one night while he thought he was sleeping. Yuki is very flustered and starts to avoid Kei. 3* 116: Toshiki is a free spirit who travels the world, often stopping to work odd jobs in Yuu's hometown. Yuu is a boy with a weak disposition, who was brought up very sheltered by his loving foster parents, who yearns to be free like Toshiki. 3* 148: This is the MVP, right here! Hazumi is an in experienced pure guy, while his co-worker, Kamura who is always teasing Kazumi, is his exact opposite. When the two happen to run into each other in a gay bar, sparks fly. 5* Total: 3.6

Why??? Why are all the mains so likable? They were all very nice characters. Showed so much depth in so few pages, the first seme (?) and the second and last ukes. 1: Rich young master starts working part time but he's super honest with not a single proud bone in his body 4 * 2: Butler who looked after rich young master all his life is now at a loss since he has moved out 3*, but only because I was so mad at his dad for restricting him that much. And not even because of concern over him, but rather because he wasn't performing his job well enough. Shame on you, dad! 3: Social recluse and old childhood friend who never lost touch start living close to each other again. 4* because tooooo short! But very heart warming, though.

Great story and extremely likable characters. I usually love stories that jump around and do time skips but this one's execution hinders the flow of the story
