Dum's manga / #age gap(11)

This is so gentle beautiful and warm! From total strangers to lovers~ tohru who loves to take pictures of horses at horseracing on his way to kyoto meets kinoshita makoto, a man on his 40s, who sighs a lot and looks tired. Tohru catches his eyes on him and they always bump into each other at the train station.

Duh.... Huhu... I kin Akari a lot. I like it so much. This is a lot more enjoyable than Mikami to Sato, if i were to be honest. Reading this made me cry.. How i wish i can meet someone like Mizuki. They are so amazing, honestly. So out of reach to me. No but seriously, taking how productive and attractive akari is aside, Akari is so similar to me. His personality, his problems and all. I kin him a lot, so i feel like i poured all of my empathy to this and cried.

I need to say that i actually ship setagawa with hasekura more but im fine with the way it is..., i really am.... By the way. I think the dialogue bubbles composition is a bit too messy...

I think its oke, But the frequent use of “mask” cringes me off big time.. shit lah.

Its really cute. Togawa (dark hair) and his boss Nozue (light hair). Togawa has a crush on his 10 yrs older boss, Nozue. Nozue feels really old and has no life beside his work life so then out of worry, Togawa offered to accompany him and give him an anti-aging therapy by acting like teenage girls, eating parfait and cakes at a cafe, doing teenager stuff, with the hidden intention of seducing him.

Well, i like it, but their relationship is kind of shallow. Maybe it would be nice if it was longer. Jimmy, a small-time thief, is caught pickpocketing by a middle-aged guy named Reese. Instead of handing him over to the police, Reese makes him slog hard for a day at the book store where he works. Wanting to get back at the other man for humiliating him, Jimmy breaks into Reese's apartment, only to find evidence that he's a retired cop. A bit spooked now, he leaves in a hurry, determined to put it all behind him and carry on as usual... But getting Reese out of his head proves to be tougher than Jimmy could ever have imagined.

The first story is alright; I liked it tbh. But not my absolute favorite or smth. The second story was a disaster, and the third was eh. I understand that this manga aims for realism rather than a typical oh so romantic fairy tale fantasy. They have open endings, which, are the kind of stories I like to write but not necessarily enjoy for my own entertainment. 1. Torihara likes Akira, the older guy he works with at the dining bar. 2. Yatsue Toru, a student who secretly likes his friend, ends up making out with his teacher Asai (whom he met at the gay bar) out of frustration. 3. Minamida had a wet dream about his not-so-good-looking coworker.

20 yrs age gap, older uke! 2nd story is art teacher and his student

WAGHHH AGGHHHHH AAAGGHHHH Leo shouldve been with me instead ;* the black haired guy is pissing me off. Who was his name again, i forgot. I just read this 5 seconds ago. Oh. Hoshikawa.

Damn uh i dont usually mind huge age gap like this even when both parties know each other when one of them was still a child. But this one.. well.. bro literally fell for him back when he was 10… idk how to take that. Thats a very uncomfortable detail.
