Popo's manga / #childhood friends(59)

- spoiled himbo fairy x slightly yandere otaku - childhood best friends to lovers - lots of hilarious otaku, fujodanshi & manga references - the chibis are adorable - the side characters are funny and aren't annoying nor feel unnecessary It's simply a story about two guys who figure out that they want to take their friendship to a romantic level and then awkwardly try to navigate sex LOL. Very cute and fluffy with so many funny moments.

ch5 Seme is a weirdo stalker who can't confess to his bff but it's ok cuz uke knows he's a weirdo stalker & still loves him for it lol. Very fuwa fuwa doki doki, sexual tension so thicc and hot af despite the kooky premise. Also hilarious how they outright state their gayness and their friends laugh it off. It didn't really have direction but it kinda did?? Idk, felt more slice of life rather than a singular plotline. I think there was a planned plot but the author got distracted asking the way lol. My boss really lost their virginities in a public bathroom (not even a stall, they just did it out in the open lol). Also yay @ the gay & lesbian sibling mutual coming out in ch5!

Very cute but since it's a one shot, the plot went by like whoosh. It would have had more impact if it was a full story.

ch8 Puppy uke chasing after stoic seme/long unrequited love who doesn't take him seriously

Ch1 Plot happens so fast. Btw, his actual name is Gou - not Howe. I don't know how the translator came that conclusion :/

4.5 stars This is a surprisingly very mature bl. Love IS a partnership and one person's needs shouldn't supersede the other's. I'm glad Tatsumi didn't remain a man child and learned how to take care of himself and others. I'm glad Kei didn't throw away his career to stay on the island and continue to make his life revolve around Tatsumi. Only lacking .5 star cuz I feel something missing from the story or I just didn't connect with it enough?

V2ch12.5 I like soft semes like this one. I also like how uke actually cared and felt bad when he realized how hard it must have been for seme to have unrequited love for him for years. V2 mainly dealt with them prepping for post uni life, coming out to friend and family and commiting even harder to each other.

Ch22

Ch18 Girl reunites and hooks up with her childhood friend/unrequited crush who's in a loveless business marriage. His wife has her own affairs but still girl.....you really just taking his word for it without confirming. They keep saying they live each other but all I'm seeing is lust. It's he really loved you, he'd give you all of him, not half, not once in a blue moon when he can get away from his wife. But goddamn the art is pretty.
