❀'s manga / #manhwa(444)

yo this is surprisingly good. beginning was a bit rough but it was not scary or overwhelmingly stressful and frustrating at any point. now on chap 5 of the side stories. omega uke is damaged after being forced to abort a child by the partner he loved. he's traumatized and his pheromones don't work anymore. but somehow seme is able to smell him and uke is intrigued and makes seme into his sex toy by buying him and cancelling is debts. then it's a big drama about them falling for each other and then dealing with uke's ex who apparently still loves uke but sure doesn't show it properly. and he fucking rapes uke at one point ugh. but in the end ofc seme and uke end up together and they are pregnant with child. in the extras we see their son, an alpha. and it's revealed what has been hinted at all along, that seme and uke's ex are half-brothers through their father. seme grew up poor with his prostitute omega father cuz he was an illegitimate child. now maybe in side stories seme will become heir to the family corporation cuz his half-bro is disgraced after the drama of attempting to kill seme and drugging him and shit.

not a well written story, but it's cute and i like the outgoing straightforward uke who knows how to use his cuteness to get what he wants lol. uke is obsessed with vampires since young. he happens to see seme drinking someone's blood and wants seme to drink from him. they happen to be classmates. after that uke follows seme around after classes wanting to get to know him. seme breaks down and does let uke get close. he drinks from uke and this part gets confusing like his saliva makes uke aroused so then he also jerks uke off each time he drinks... and somehow they don't consider this a relationship but they keep doing this. there's some dumb drama about uke's friend who is a half-vampire and who likes uke but for some reason never told uke about his identity until now despite knowing uke loves vampires. the second season is all about this shit friend so i dropped it there.

this is a fucking masterpiece. like reading a jane austin romance, not that i've ever read one. this is fucking peak storytelling and art and i don't think anyone can get better.

No visible sex, just implied since it's shounen-ai. This was generally a great story in terms of pacing, but the uke is annoying cuz he's too tsundere and his fucking last line is he'll never tell the seme how much he loves him wtfffff it's a pretty well developed story tbh. there's a game they both play and seme is super good, one of the best players and he streams playing the game online, earning lots of money. one day he destroys uke's clan and humiliates uke in his video, so uke quits. some time later, uke's game friend persuades him to play again and this time he happens to get recruited into seme's clan. uke now wants revenge on seme for the defeat before. he's playing as a girl and wants to pretend to like seme and make seme fall for him and then dump seme. but seme knows what's up and doesn't believe uke is just an innocent newbie. he can tell uke has played before so seme is just messing with uke most of the time, but still unknowingly falling in love along the way. uke starts liking seme too, though he never fucking admits it. he gets a super powerful item from seme and sells it for literally 18k real dollars. but he feels bad so he quits the game and gives the money from the sale to seme. seme is so mad uke left, cuz he's got trauma related to being abandoned as a child by his parents. so he does everything to track uke down in real life. and he does, cuz the person who bought uke's item got his ID card to prove he's not a scam. after that seme visits uke's house and uke is freaked out. seme now wants revenge by making uke fall for him and plans to dump uke after that. but he literally falls for uke more and more and realizes his feelings. so now he just really wants uke to fall for him. and he kinda knows uke likes him and just needs more pushing. in the end they get together and everything is pretty well explained. the art of the uke improves a lot too cuz in the first chapter he literally looks like a background character, that's how ugly and to the role of nerdy gamer he is. also i don't think it's realistic uke is ony 24?? his job and life seem too mature for 24, but i guess being older doesn't make sense for gamers. seme is 21.

weird universe where men can get pregnant. uke is one of such men. somehow he catches the eye of seme, super popular guy on campus. seme persues him quite relentlessly and somehow uke is persuaded. it's not bad, but such an early years bl story. even the art makes both of them look emaciated. uke has 2 babies. one of only stories to show a big baby bump, so i do like that. lots of content seeing their future together after getting together and living together and having kids.

art suuucks. literally had to force myself to read it to completion. uke is so fucking annoying, but seme is also dumb and boring. also confusing like is seme adopted or his mom's real kid, i still have no fucking clue. basically they've been online friends for 5 years. then first day of uni, seme discovers uke is his online friend, but he also hears uke confessing that he has a crush on seme's online persona. seme is not happy and is determined to make uke confess so then he can reject uke online, but become friends with uke IRL so he can still have uke as a friend. complicated dumb shit. things going well i guess, where uke is confused about dating seme but liking the online seme. then he starts putting the clues together and figuring it out. hate how fucking insecure these shy dull ukes are. but this seme only has like 2 expressions, blank and fake smile. so fucking bad this art.

seme moves to countryside to escape something in the city. he's attracted to uke, farmer boy. they fuck after first meeting cuz both are attracted to each other. then it's just them having a bunch of sex.

3 stories in this anthology. all omegaverse. i think the second two had omega tops. all kinda messed up abusive rapey shit. didn't really read any of them properly.

vampire story. but nothing is well explained or thought out. things just happen for the sake of happening and things don't wrap up well. uke always had poor health, but he's the perfect match for a vampire, seme. idk why vampires need a perfect blood match?? and then somehow uke is of a rare blood type as well?? uke and seme's contract blood relationship starts becoming romantic for no reason?? and idk why uke has to live with seme to give blood when uke does it through the doctor, not seme sucking directly. then there was a bit where it seemed like their kisses and affection improved uke's blood quality, but then it's never mentioned again and idk, is his health improving or not now..... the main problem is like seme's relatives getting jealous of seme having uke who is of rare blood, so they kidnap him to threaten seme?? cuz seme got some incriminating business records. seme just deletes everything though when they threaten uke...... like wtf idk just so weird and all over the place. now in the extras it's about side characters also getting together from a sex relationship to maybe something more. but the ending is so random and abrupt. maybe got axed...... we see no progress from them, just fucking despite not liking each other.....

read on mangadex for best translation. this is kinda messed up but kinda good lol. uke seems like a detached loner, but it's only cuz he's over compensating for his obsessive personality. when he likes someone, he reeeally likes them and that put his friend off before. seme is an attention whore and at first can't stand that uke is ignoring him despite them sharing a dorm room together. as uke pays more attention to seme, seme kinda gets bored of uke. uke eventually confesses his feelings to seme and seme thinks he will just play around with uke's feelings, but he actually really likes how uke is obsessed with him lol. i wish we had a bit more of them in a relationship for real, but it was still fun.
