just_m3h's manga / #Model(28)

1: Girls have always obsessed over Chiaki's beautiful face, and guys have always shunned him. As a result, he can't seem to keep a steady job or friend, except Kei. They are both in love with each other but don't think they have a chance, admist small misunderstandings and jealousy. When they finally riddle it out, Kei declares that he'll only be with Chiaki when he finds a stable job, so Chiaki goes out and gets scouted as a model!? They were cute and all, but it was just an average plot with average characters. Not bad, just boring and predictable. Also, Chiaki wasn't so hot that people perpetually need to fawn over him, come on! No one is! That's such a weird trope mangakas insist on employing! 4.3 4: The supposedly delinquent Haniwa finds out Hana is in love with their classmate, Itou. Contrary to what he expected, Haniwa does not blackmail him or make fun of him, rather, he gently cheers him on! I really liked Haniwa. He's a great character! No need to make him terrible at studies, though! It didn't add much to the plot and unnecessarily takes away from how cool he is :/ 4.6

Young president of a small modelling agency scouts a lazy rich boy whose only motivation is his feelings for the manager. I actually really like them together. It was sweet. Didn't really need the smut, though it would have been nice. It's not a feel good storey, there isn't enough fluff for that. But it's simple and relatively uncomplicated and the side characters are all supportive and nice barring that arrogant male model, andrej or whatever 4.5 Also I really like the store manager Side story about crepe and fillings :'D

I feel so fucking bad for the ex, though. Legit one of the few exes in yaoi who don't have an ounce of assholery in them

Stop treating uke like an idiot. Uke, please stop behaving like an idiot. That is all.

There is always that annoying fucker of a paparazzi Edit: Despite the shitty rapist and the shitty sexual assaulter (I mean, seriously?!), the uke kept his head, the seme and agency were great sources of support and everything worked out. Though, I have to say while I understand why the seme resisted for so long, his feeling seem very abrupt 4.5

Less and less interesting as I read on Edit: No, past me! The slump is only in the middle. It picks up, and how!! Edit: Chap 12 is the 'enjoy some hard core gay sex' and Chap 17 is the boss/subordinate rp Edit: I mean, obviously, this hardly needs a review. It was phenomenally hot, of course. I do hate that we don't find out the truth behind the app, though. And the dude for Dobin was the fucking worst. I also hate that they did it to Dkbin, like?! He's innocent?? Anyway, still, was a good and interesting manga, cannot deny that.

What... *pauses. grins creepily* ...a nice view 'nuff said. 5

The reviews looked to be a mixed bag but personally? I enjoyed it. It was basic, but nice. There were clear line Eien wasn't willing to cross, there were feelings and there was consent, and a lot of relationship development and even character development, they didn't just jump into bed together in the 1st chapter (I don't hate those either not necessarily, bit this was just refreshing). My only regret, really is that the ex never got his just desserts. Acting all casual while knowing he broke the poor guys heart a hundred times over. Sawa was also a really emotionally strong character with good work ethic and I just enjoy MCs like him. Their loyalty to each other was also really nice to see. I am alittle worried about Eien juggling modelling and running a company, though 4.5

Chiaki gets dragged out to a gay orgy with his fashion model coworker and it brings some much needed colour and passion into his life. Whaaat O.o This is actually SO good?! I am genuinely so surprised, because of the ratings??? Taiga is really, quite lovely. He's very out going, obviously, you wouldn't frequent gay orgies otherwise, but man, he's so timid in so mang ways too. My favourite is easily Chiaki, though. Easily. Aaah. He's such a cool dude! The way he quietly accepts other people and their points of view, the way he is unashamed about his relationship with Taiga despite not knowing he was bi up until he met him, how straightforward he is about his feelings. I just love him? I love this story, dammit. The friends were all really cool, too! 5***

Um. Masamichi (Mari) spills coffee on Satou, a super model who insists that Mari let him live at his place if he can't foot the bill for a new 860,000 yen (!!) coat. Whyyy did he make him agree to live together though?! What's the deal with the relationship between Satou and his mum? Will Mari ever find out the truth about his own parents? It was cute and all, but too many loose ends! 4.4
