cmdrbanger's manga / #cute(193)

This is fantastic!! So much normalized gay tealtionship stuff, and without any homophobic social barriers. I love it. It's also long enough that is explores lots of different angles to the relationship and the ongoing work subplots! This is in a shared setting with "Capture Me With An Expert Kiss". I liked both because they don't follow stereotypes about positions in sex/relationships. Also both characters get to be enthusiastic about and during sex, as well as showing affection!! It has (almost) everything! (just doesn't have any 'meet the family' chapters).

Much more interesting than their other manga! This one balances the relationship and character development more effectively, is still super horny, but doesn't have to circumvent the taboo age gap issues.

This is fantastic! A friends to lovers story where the label is less important than the actions. Doesn't waste (much) time backtracking either. Character's actions are allowed to speak for themselves, instead of being willfully misinterpreted (or not interpreted at all). I love this, wish it was longer!

THIS IS SO CUUUUUTE. Very wholesome college relationship about two people catching feelings and then catching even MORE feelings while going out. I especially like what Takara says about allowing feelings to grow after starting a relationship. So mature and thoughtful.

This was cute! Delinquent friends to lovers with some self-sacrificing resistence along the way. The translation made me want to redo all of it though.

Kinda boring? Just didn't strongly explore any of its themes or subplots. I can't really complain about the love triangle never fully manifesting, but I wish the rest had more depth. It seemed there was more potential for Azuma's awkwardness and Ao's growing confidence to bring them together honestly and with some more cute domesticity.

Moves oddly fast and doesn't have a lot of actual romantic events, just the drama of getting together and then sex. But the last chapter is interesting in how forthright they are with their feelings.

I thought it was a joke from the list comment that the top is autistic, but no he literally is! Interesting wrinkle to a short, cute story. The two extras getting together in thr afterword was also hilarious.

I wonder how this is gonna go - someone's gonna catch feelings eventually. Hopefully it won't be drawn out - that doesn't seem like this mangaka's style. And then it just ends! Happily, but still. A little too quickly for my taste, it feels so rushed!
