Lil Maniac's manga / #Yaoi(385)

That was cute

Impressive for a smut yaoi omg. This was a good one. Unlike other “sex friends to lovers” tropes, this one had a good transition that properly portrayed the uke’s insecurities (without meaningless running away and dumb assumptions.) the uke’s feelings were understandable, seeing how it started off in a non-serious relationship, ofc he’d have his own doubts that it could turn into something real. It’s understandable that he didn’t want to get his hopes too high for fear of getting his feelings hurt. But once the seme fell for him, I’m glad he accepted his feelings, instead of running away and not believing the seme’s confession (like the stupid uke’s do in majority of this trope, denying the person’s feelings and saying it must be his imagination, then running away without even listening to reason). Anyways, I also like that seme. He tried not to give the uke false hope, and also didn’t act like an asshole The whole way through. He even accepted his own feelings for the uke without too much resistance and denial. He treats uke gently, is patient with him, understands his insecurities, and without getting irritated or walking on eggshells, reassured him that yes, he does love him, and not to worry. This is the type of seme all asshole semes should look at and follow his example. Such amazing boyfriend material. We love a seme who is sweet, caring, patient, and assures his uke. Overall, quite an amazing story, despite being filled with smut. It even got me thinking that the smut scenes were meaningful, and I don’t usually think that with smut scenes (I usually get dead fish eyes and wonder when it’s going to end. Very rarely do I like the sex scenes). Oh yeah. Also, the uke is so cute. Like the seme said in the last chapter, how could u not love such a cute guy?

I was gonna give this to 5 stars but retracted it back to 4 stars after the first sex scene. Right after the freckin discovery (that akira was not mamoru). It would have been better to make this manga a bit longer instead of jumping straight to sex. Like, u just escaped from the illusion that he isn’t a brother but actually a stranger that’s been living with u this whole time, and ur going to suddenly kiss and have sex with him? Without any reservations? This would have been a heck of a lot better if that part was better paced. That’s the thing that almost ruined what was otherwise a masterpiece of a story. The dark emotions and deep trauma in this were really well portrayed. Even I shed some tears. Their characters and backgrounds were so well developed, and the story was just so very well written man. When kaoru finally accepted his brother’s death (particularly the scene where he put out the incense and pictures) I was so moved I even shed some tears bro. Plus seeing akira’s past and his shit mother hurt my kokoro. This story is amazing and well written in s many ways, that’s why I was so disappointed by that sudden sex scene that came out of nowhere. It’s like it was put there just for the sake of making this a yaoi manga instead of a shounen ai tragedy slice of life. It wouldn’t have been so out of place if it happened a few chapters later, after kaoru had a little more time to accept reality and who was in front of him (akira). Anyways, I’ll still give it 4 stars since it was such an amazing story.

This manga is a basic bitch yaoi. Typical. Boring. Dry.

Lmao what a weird manga. So hilarious (except for the smut scenes. I could’ve done without those).

Though a typical yaoi manga, this one was cute. Even better that they waited three months before they had sex, unlike majority of yaoi where they jump straight to it as soon as they confess, which makes it look shallow.

I wasn’t too fond of the beginning, what with the seme being a asshole and whatnot, but I liked how he got more gentle as it progressed. It was cute towards the end, and their relationship became so sweet and fluffy~ it’d be nice if it continued. The story kept me hooked till the end, even with things I find undesirable happening in it. Also, though the little brother was in the wrong for to rape the uke, i somehow kinda feel sorry for him. It would’ve been gross if they ended up together tho, or had sexual relations. Also their parents are shitty, blaming the uke for something physiological that wasn’t even his fault. Anyways, though full of smut (well. That’s a characteristic of this mangaka’s manga), it was a good read, especially the last chapters

Started off rough but turned out cute. Wish I could’ve seen more of their relationship. We really only got a little peek of it. It’d be nice if it continued, even with just one more chapter, and showed their relationship, instead of chara info and backstories. Those were nice, but I want to see more of the couple.

Meh

What even was that? So dumb. Uke was cute, but the stalking was disgusting. Plus bro u needa know when to give up, why u still so shamelessly and one-sidedly chasing after that guy after he told u he’s not interested and not into guys? Plus that seme. I can def understand why he was annoyed with the uke. But u too man, u told him to give up on u, then when he tries to do that ur asking, “giving up already?” Like what? Does this make sense to u? Plus what right did u hv to be jealous when he’s getting g along well with a girl? Aren’t u the one who’s always pushing him away and rejecting him? Who are u even? Anyways, dumb typical yaoi smh
