Bike's manga / #drama(61)

ML, this motherfucker, is too smug for his own good. Also an asshole, but at least he’s hot?? But he’s such an asshole! God damn, I think I get it, but that doesn’t stop me from getting upset. Even if it’s temporary, I’m just glad that MC has enough a spine to leave this dude, because good grief. Praying for some character development… …And we get it! Woohoo! The dynamic’s much sweeter now, and I can only hope I may be able to enjoy the rest of this ride.

Been almost a year, but cool, chapter 23. I read this manga not expecting much a year ago, and what I've ultimately concluded is that it's just your run-of-the-mill "slice-of-life school" kind of manga with a quirky twist--except the twist here is that the MC's accidentally gotten himself involved in a gay sex club. The guys are aiming for his virginity, but really, the only person who stands a chance is his black-haired classmate friend, who also got roped into this mess. And unfortunately, he's also got a cousin(?) who festers a likely unrequited love for him (2nd ML Syndrome, I suppose), but it doesn't really matter right now because he ain't really doing anything in response to anyone's advances. Honestly, it's pretty cute. Other notes: If I were to describe this manga in a single phrase, I would say that it's "YAOI, but camp." An absurdly ridiculous premise, but once you get over it, it's a fine, albeit slightly weird, slice-of-life manga with a bit of heart. I've grown to like the other characters in lieu of their subplots, but I still can't help but LOATHE Yuri (the pink-haired dude with the shades?), because he genuinely terrifies me. Like yes, I get he's a messed up dude, but he's freaky. Can't stand him. Anyway, manga's surprisingly ain't bad. Just don't take the core premise too seriously and you'll be (mostly) fine.

Oh my god, I'm a big fan. Found personality clash interesting---representation of "old" and "new" generation, muddled with romantic feelings. Good, felt uncertainty from the blond dude, bold character used to living as gay in society that's moving towards increased right towards homosexual, yet at its current state holds people who remain prejudiced (especially among older generation). His crush on the dad feels emblematic of...something, not sure what. Big fan of older, tired guys in BL + fan of the coworker, too. Both provide their own distinct perspective and I find their personalities interesting.

The family drama in this is absolutely insane. Really filthy smut, everyone's completely crazy, reading it makes you feel like you're descending into hell. It's a horrible trainwreck that you can't help but watch. (I personally don't mind a good trainwreck story, so you bet I'm here for the ride...I say this as if I haven't already read most of it on MRR.) Hope y'all enjoy this glorious mess

Fave. Strong panelling, great establishment of tone. Really awkward, but really suited exploration of adolescense thing going on here

Feels oddly dated, but it holds its charm. It's a simple(ish) concept, but it's done well. Super pretty.

Read and finished two days ago? Love the subtle humor. Love their dynamic
