❀'s manga / #slow relationship(469)

the art was seriously amazing here. author actually did panels instead of just random boxes and very detailed art even though it's not really my taste. story was okay. would be 3 stars if not for this impressive art. basically uke has to hide seme cuz of some drama with his abusive birth mom coming out and seme is a celebrity singer. they get closer as they live together and somehow fall in love. then comes a day where uke's mom comes and is super nasty so uke decides to break up with seme. seme super hurt but leaves the country to escape the drama instead. some years later his mom suicides and he comes back. he acts cold to uke at first to make uke beg for his forgiveness and love but caves and they enter a relationship again. seme's manager and seme's step-brother also get into an age gap relationship.

seme 30s, uke uni student. good art. they meet in online game and then fall for each other after meeting offline. seme wanted friends so played games and uke, a veteran gamer helped him in game. seme is in some korean gang, a small boss, but they don't go into anything relating to his gang and it seems like he's still keeping most of it a secret from the uke? and like 10 chapters from 20-30 are wasted on retelling the first 20 chapters from the seme's perspective. also i did not like the scene where their feelings came out cuz seme kinda raped the uke and uke was so unclear with explaining his feelings for seme and also explaining about his previous feelings for his friend. maybe just poor translation. ending feels kinda sudden cuz it just ended on some extra about the uke finding a job after uni.

dropped after chap 10. not into the art and the story is going too fast all over the place. confusing. and wtf the characters are literally named fanboy and star lol....

SO GOOD SO CUTE!! guy with psychic dreams keeps visiting this cafe worker cuz he saw him getting in an accident and wants to prevent it. cafe worker seme gets the wrong idea and thinks uke is interested in him, and seme is interested back. they slowly get closer through interactions at the cafe. then the accident actually happens, uke couldn't prevent it, and uke feels so bad cuz seme got hurt trying to buy medicine for him. they talk at the hospital and confess!! a great confession scene, very refreshing. beautiful art throughout. and then they go out and there's some drama with another guy trying to just troll and get between them but uke's psychic dreams save that guy's grandma and all is cool cuz seme is also real scary when mad and makes that guy promise not to do anything else. also the seme's 2 friends get together as well. all the ways the couples get together are so unique! lately very tired of alcohol leading to confessions and though the side couple did have alcohol to facilitate the confession, the progression to feelings and relationship is very well presented. they do a dating trial for 1 month cuz seme has liked uke ~10 years and uke not sure. but uke suggests extending another month at the end of their first month haha and looks like all will be well with them too!

dropped after chap 15. translations are so bad and the art is mediocre at best. story flow is too weird and just not interesting enough, especially not with the poor english translations. we're halfway through the story and still no certainty of feelings from either side though both has initiated a kiss and an alcohol encounter happened.

dropped after chap 10. guy whose heart never beat before and the guy who makes it start beating. the unbeating guy's doctor hires the other guy to hang with unbeating guy to get his heart beating idk. just cuz unbeating guy wants to keep feeling heart beat. moving way too slow and now there's some bullshit conflict where neither are really mad. both want to meet, but both holding out. ok apparently the author had to rush an ending cuz she was going into surgery or something. so guess it's not worth it to finish.

just a basic story of an older dad with child and younger guy. no sex. 10 year age gap or around there. they meet cuz the younger guy is a toy company salesman and he calms down the older guy's daughter. after that he helps older guy out with cooking and how to handle kids and also when older guy can't get in contact with his divorced wife who has his daughter, younger guy sees them on the street and brings them home. nothing much happens.

repair shop son and a guy who keeps breaking kitchen appliances cuz he never cooked before. uke was kicked out of home for being gay. first time cooking and he keeps breaking stuff and going to the repair shop to get them fixed. at first the seme is suspicious that uke is trying to scam his father by getting close and stealing or something. then they grow close too cuz seme sees uke is just dumb lol. so seme leaves a lot of notes for uke telling him what not to do and stuff. uke falls for seme and confesses one day. seme thinks about it. first time they kiss seme's dad sees. at first he's not ok but then is like do what makes you happy cuz i can't control you anyway. so seme does and goes to respond to uke's feelings. uke was actually so depressed about being found out and thought seme's dad would be like his family. but when seme returns his feelings he's happy pretty quick lol. then we see some months later they have sex the first time. cute overall, but kinda nonsense lol

it was fine but kinda boring and not into the random history of the master uke nor his personality. so seme starts working as driver for uke who is the manager of some pharmaceutical thing in pre-ww2 japan. at first seme is totally bad cuz he's from tokyo and not used to osaka stuff, but uke helps him out and doesn't fire him. anyway uke is very nice so seme starts developing feelings and writing it all down in a notebook uke gave him. one day uke reads the journal and finds out seme's feelings, but seme seems cool with it. then for some reason it gets revealed that seme has realized uke is gay and used to like a guy he grew up. also uke confesses he was almost raped by the man who brought him up after he was orphaned...just touching but stopped. and idk like seme takes uke on a trip to see the guy he used to like to get closure or something. but then they realize it's the wrong guy and don't know where that guy really is. well uke finds closure in that anyway i guess cuz he changes supposedly. and after that he goes to the guy who brought him up and says he is leaving the house and won't work in this manager position anymore. he's going to tokyo to start on his own, doing similar stuff. takes the seme with him as a servant as an excuse. but at this point i guess uke already likes seme back and we see them fucking in the car right after they leave the old master's house i think. basically they fuck right after uke shows interest back. lastly we see them now living in tokyo and having sex again talking about their new life there. pretty boring but i commend the story and art so 4 stars. on how much i liked it, i would only give 3.

police officer and elementary school nurse. officer uke is 24 and nurse seme is nearing 30. they meet when officer mistakes nurse for a flasher. nurse immediately starts playing around with him cuz officer is so kind and gullible. nurse makes officer treat him to food and i guess nurse starts liking officer cuz nurse likes cute things and never lets go. but the story is a little all over the place. reason for nurse liking officer is pretty wishy washy and officer doesn't show why like nurse back. actually it feels like the author doesn't know how to get them together, so she took a break and after the break she just said their kinda obligated kiss before was the start of the relationship.............but ok if she really intended that from the beginning. anyway then we just see some random shits happening in their lives while we wait for 3 months to pass maybe? cuz officer said they'll have sex in 3 months.... so there's picking up an injured cat, a love rival kinda homophobic and kinda into the officer, a kidnapper, and just seme spazzing to his friends about uke. no coherent march towards an end goal and too many random characters that seem unnecessary. funny and good but definitely messy. in the end suddenly seme gets mad seeing a text the love rival sent to uke and walks out of uke's home. but he literally just got there with food. anyway uke chases after but seme waves like no, bye. but then uke yells today is 3 months (implying they'll have sex) and that makes seme stop. just weird situations all around.......so i guess they have sex and the story kinda ends. good art though. characters just kinda lack depth and story messy.
