Popo's manga / #age gap(46)

It's the typical insecure, hurt by a previous love uke and almost perfect seme whose life revolves around uke. Too annoying how MC just abandoned ML for months and then when he comes to terms with his feelings, just hopes ML will show up to meet him when he can literally unblock ML and call him up to arrange a meeting uhhhhh. The art is pretty and cute, the only saving grace of this story.

There was some substance with the main plot point about finding your path after college but I didn't like when one person ghosts another, reappears and only grovels for 1 panel. And uke's background wasn't explored enough to make me sympathetic with how he just dipped.

Ch4 - dropping here. The story was teetering into weird territory and finally fell there this chapter. It's confirmed that Uke was sponsoring kids (at least around seme's age of 17 but some of them look very young on the site) for 15 years. I hate how the author gives no blame or accountability for uke. Oh, he just really REALLY wants to help the poor kids. Oh, he kinda just fell into the sex aspect of sugar daddying - a crossdressing kid suggested it to him! Oh he's strangely fixated on a child model but that's cuz he's enamored by his beauty...no other motivation I swear! That is straight up PDF file propaganda

2 stars The art style is very cute but the characters suffer from same face syndrome so I think it's a little silly that the premise is that Wuyi looks like Muwan’s ex when errbody had a twin or two in this story lol. Muwan is not a red flag but definitely someone to side-eye. He very much gives “loser you want your friend to break up with but they keep going back to him to later cry to you about”. Gives me the ick for: - dating a student (his ex)* - dating a guy who looks like his ex AND is like a decade younger too - being wishy-washy AF despite being the oldest in both of these relationships - not seeking help for his relationship PTSD despite being old and rich enough to afford it *He was in the wrong to be in a relationship with his student and Juhee’s family was definitely justified in making a fuss about it and forcing them to break up. Juhee feels more like a plot device than a character. He's gone to give Muwan a sad backstory and a reason why he refuses to have a healthy relationship with Wuyi. Then he pops up at the end to force Muwan to move on. Ch37 - I hate Muwan's wishy-washiness. Either kick MC to the curb or fully commit. You're a full grown adult who wants that cookie but won't resolve your relationship PTSD to give Wuyi what he deserves. Ch48 - at least Muwan knows he's wishy-washy. But still doesn't excuse taking him him 4 chapters before the end of the story to figure out he liked Wuyi, all while boo-ed up with him lol. Ch51 - brooo the audacity to say “I didn't know I was giving you a hard time” if this old hag don't shut up and go to therapy! Also pisses me off how the reconciliation and confession happens literally 1 chapter from the end. I have no motivation to read the second book cuz Muwan annoyed me lol.

Ch26

Ch5 AI is adorable. How could one resist?
