Ohhh. What are the names of the other manga that are exactly the same as this one?
I havent read one like this thou in almost 14 years of reading BL. Maybe the first chapter is kinda cliche, but third? Sorry my dear, but no.
The main plot line is pretty standard with just a little variation. You can only get so much change when the main intrigue dosent have a lot to work with.
Pretty much it can be encapsulated by the 'no homo' trope. You have your typical (useless) straight guy who loves women (but other dude is a special case) and some gay dude who's sick of his shit but still likes him (for some reason?? why!?). Maybe using this sorta plot would have been okay with good characters but the development of these two really has not been great so far. Nothing much to offer. It's a story Ive heard before and you saying 'sorry but no' doesnt make it more interesting or unique
Sorry to butt in, I was just waiting for the name of a manga with the same plot......
Really? So we can say that all BL is just the same, or almost the same wuth little variarion like you said ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Lmao it's like you didn't even read what I said. If that's how you took it alrighty then.
To clarify, the only plot this story has is a goodfornothing very straight dude who's only goes gay for one dude, and the no homo trope which the author has somehow managed to progress it to such an extreme that it's getting rather irritating. It's literally a put together of common tropes that are usually only sub/sideplots in other manga but somehow is literally the main focus in this manga. If you still think this is unique then youre just being willfully ignorant and can't accept the truth.
Still no answer to my question. Just a spiel.
If you are so blind that you insist on an example heres a manga which has both tropes as aforementioned:

Ex of straight goes gay only for one person:

Honestly this happens so much that I feel giving examples is dumb. The difference between some of these examples is that the single trope or two isnt what makes up the entire story. Other stuff actually happens and theres other components that make the story unique and interesting.
And ex of straight goes gay only for one person plus nohomo trope but the characters actually have some awareness and aren't completely oblivious:

I don't even read that many yaoi manga and I could easily find the tropes just by looking into a few.
And Im willing to bet there are many many more that I dont care to waste more of my time looking for to show you; and most definitely you have also come across some but can't admit it.
and again. I just found another manga with the no homo trope: http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/golden_sparkle/hs/mpn_chapter-2004854/pg-1/
Point is that these this stuff (or very similar versions of it) reoccur so much everywhere that the plot of this manga, especially considering how it legit just centered around these tropes and has nothing else that adds to the story, is very stale and unoriginal.
“No homo” is as dated as “Yolo” and “Gag me with a wet spoon”. That was high school slice of life, not comedic airheads in denial. The prior one is with 2 straight guys. You might as well list every BL because 2 guys get romantically involved, then listed every romance period since people fall in love, as being typical plot devices
lol wut. Doesnt that just make the concept feel even less original.
Oooooo so much difference!! bruh. no. thats not what I said. the point is that the concept for this entire plot has been constantly used and the tropes are the only things that make up the entire story. Other manga may also contain some of those tropes, but the difference is that they usually dont center the main story around it; the tropes make up just a few parts of the story.
hm idk I'm not too into this one. After having read sensei's other manga (shinobebo koi, nerameba koi) this one sorta seems.. stale? underwhelming? in comparison. It's a plot Ive already seen countless times before and characters that are sorta flat and don't feel as fleshed out. Atmosphere and tone dont feel as well done either compared to sensei's other manga.
Welp who knows maybe itll get better, though Im really not into the two mc's atm
