just_m3h's manga / #Wedding planner(3)

1: Kei is a wedding planner who has a bit of relationship trauma from his past and Ichinose Seishi is his client who gets scammed by a fraudster. Kei sleeps with him, after Ichinose drowns his sorrows in alcohol one night, thinking it would be a one night stand. But Ichinose ends up insisting he'll take responsibility, the next day. It's okay, I guess. Kei shouldn't have taken advantage of him while he was drunk. And Ichinose is so persistent, he sometimes borders on creepy. But overall, I didn't dislike it. 4.3 3: I'm just in love with this one. Daichan has always been taking care of the kind-hearted Izumi who always gets taken advantage of. Daichan confesses to him and is rejected because of a misunderstanding. I love the angst, the teasing, the sex, the way wishy-washy Izumi takes charge when his switch gets flipped is so hot. Ugh. 5 4: Chiaki is Kouichi's sister(?)‐in-law's kid from a previous relationship. Chiaki proposes to Kouichi when he was a little child, and grows up still loving him. Koichi is slowly won over. I don't particularly care for the age gap, which, we never even get told what it is. But the sister and sister(?)-in-law are such a power couple, I HAVE to support this. 4.75. 5: Probably a short extra from some other story? Overall: 4.7

Very run-of-the-mill slice of life story about a wedding planner (Haruka) who has a hard time smiling genuinely and a wedding photographer (Jun) who prefers the dazzling world he sees without himself, from behind a lens. It was good. There are was a lot of subtle themes in this, about self perception, mental health and loneliness. I think, they're really, really good for each other. Hated Izumi, though, wtf? How shameless do you have to be to go after someone who is clearly in a relationship with someone else you know. And he didn't even know Haruka well enough to be going after him, tf? Shameless. 4.4

Kyungwon has a one night stand with Kangwoo, whom he met at the bar, only to meet him again the very next day as a prospective bridegroom at the wedding planning agency where he works. Honestly? I liked neither character that much and the plot was so ridiculous. That's just such an absurd misunderstanding. 4.4
