5 years ago, high-schooler Tomoya faked his age and tried to get laid at a gay bar. While the attemp...

it's 1:30am but i think i need to go touch some grass after reading this

I choked to death reading this I'm typing from the afterlife to finish ridding myself of my worldly desires goodbyeeeeeeee

this was seriously like reading gay Ghibli (with a small smattering of smut)
my fucking heart
it's always been a little awkward for me as an American whenever manga/manhwa is set in the US bc there are just little cultural tells that aren't natural to us but that the mangaka doesn't even notice they're doing, but this was so good I forgot it was a manga for at least a whole volume so serious props to the author, esp since it was also a historical piece, which even us USian writers struggle with. takes some serious gumption and skill to do that and pull it off so beautifully. masterpiece, honestly.

absolutely do not get the hype on this one, sorry
their relationship was so flat, it would have taken way longer than 5 chapters to make it believeable, uke was a complete lamp and had no backstory or personality (we literally ended the manga knowing one thing about him: that he has a brother. tf man lol), and the seme was such a huge piece of shit it was almost hilarious, like reading a trainwreck
don't get me wrong, I'm all for polyamory (god there are some love triangle stories I just wanna pull a "now kith" for) but this ain't it. This ain't even an open relationship situation bc seme doesn't respect his current partners, any of them. he's just a fuckboy. "Don't ask me where I've been/who I've been with/what I've been doing" soooo don't talk to you at all lmao. And there's a difference between having a mature conversation about your boundaries and preferences like an adult and bluntly plonking down expectations for compliance.
art's good tho

Tsuchiya Mao is roommates with Otomo Hisashi who is secretly gay, that's why they made 3 rules:...

if you want a comedy BL done right with an over the top delulu seme that isn't ragebait/secondhand embarrassment death, read Be My Baby

ah yes
I read the comments
I thought I was prepared
I was not
this hits extra hard bc my spouse and I are getting old (I'm in my late 30s, we've been together for 20+ years), our kids are in their teens. The thought of being separated from my SO makes my throat close with terror and grief (thankfully at this point there's no sign of us separating for any reason other than death haha). I can only hope we, too, can be reunited on the other side.

this wasn't a terrible age gap manga
it wasn't the best story overall but it had heart
glad they waited, and also (speaking as someone who also seduced an older person when I was 17) teenagers are horny af so the part of the uke embellishing the truth to get jerked off tracked. good on the seme for having proper self control and laying down boundaries.

god this is so perfect
the fact that the uke is taller but not a stereotype (tall&buff, tall&puppy dog, tall&gentle), the masculine shorter seme
and just...taka. fuck. I'm salivating. his drive, his cute little grumpy bad boy attitude, his smiiiirrrkkkkk. top 10 seme, easily.
can we? can we talk about that one scene? picking up your taller bf with one arm and a broken hand
"this isn't going to stop me from making you cum"
HNNGGGGGG TAKA THE MAN YOU ARE
this reads like it wasn't written by a 16 year old like so many BLs. The dialogue is strong, the characters feel like they have depth, and oh the banter. cute, little tiny bit of angst but not enough that it feels stupid, seme is forceful but not rapey -- and on that note multiple times displays the self-control expected of an adult.
I normally hate love triangles, and especially when an interloper pops in after the main couple is established, and don't get me wrong taka x hina for life but Sunny is fucking cute and I want him to have his own spinoff so he can find his own love. I LOVVEEE manhwa so seeing a Korean character in a manga is like a shot to the heart. and honestly he's a sweetheart, he didn't do anything ridiculously terrible other than just fall in love with the wrong person. Taka is SO mature about it to holy shit the love and trust.
and THE ART is so gorgeous too
just, everything about this. instant fav. deserves all the stars. give me 1700 volumes.

Hinata's been in love with Hakuba since he was little and they used to perform together... now ...

comedy? more like anxiety
I want to kill someone, either myself or the ML
I fucking hate hate hate that after all of what the ML put the MC through he's gonna end up with him
this is def for those people who think a chasing arc is enough for years of bullshit (which is fine if you like that kind of story but it's not for me)
ig it was funny to see the ML freaking out but it was more just secondhand embarrassment (one of the major reasons for my homicidal urges atm) bc he's so fucking pathetic in literally every way
definitely dropping this

that was a ride

I feel like I've read 1000 BLs just like Junwoo x Taesan but this person actually wrote it realistically rather than romanticizing it like the stories where they're the main couple
I'm a bit torn I'll be honest. I like that it's dark and twisted but also it seems a bit much for a high school setting lol

this is like junk food
I know it's bad for me but I keep eating

I'm sure the tatted guy is some kind of bastard bc they're setting him up to be TOO nice (compared to everyone else anyway) but holy shit he's my type
