lilithespark's manga / #older-uke(14)

Comment: I think the two stories were fine, but nothing about them really stood out to me.

This was a really nice read! It’s very uplifting, and if I had to describe this manga in one word, I would say it is “effort.” This isn’t the most fully fleshed out story, but I liked that we could see the leads making the effort to reveal himself to the other, waiting, etc. I liked how the presence of their age gap was portrayed. Their romance felt sugary sweet! Yet nothing too substantial.

6 ATS

4 ATS I don’t know about you, but I really like this so far. The romance is kind of subtle, and it is slowly builds up and up. It’s just like a very good example of excellent storytelling. I quite like this kind of slow burn. Feels realistic and mature in that sense.

Sure, the plot doesn’t make much logical sense, but I do enjoy their dynamic! Very cute and light read. The ending was kind of rushed, but it’s not a really deep story. The conflict (misunderstanding) was meh. The smut was good, but that’s pretty much it. Puppy MC x Older, elegant ML

I’m sorry to say… but this was a bunch of clichés wrapped in one. Reading the first chapter I could only sigh. Like the black mail / almost rape plot in the beginning. Then the ML spends a few chapters redeeming himself… The MC just falls in love with the ML without rhyme or reason… I really liked the career aspect of this manga (the hair styling/ modeling), but as a romance, it’s just mid. The characters lack depth, and story lacks originality in terms of progression. I’m unimpressed to say the least. Good art, though.

yikes this seems messy… i’m here for it tho update: okay so i’m actually not here for it!! the mc legit knew the ml when he was a baby… this feels very wrong even if he did “wait” for the ml to become an adult. almost predatory in a way? honestly im rly grossed out by the age gap. i don’t like the message of getting over grief by turning your crush’s son into your lover lmao. the author tried to make this story sweet but failed

5 i loveee the pacing! the themes and art are so beautiful
