❀'s manga / #slow relationship(469)

childhood friends living in same building. both like each other but nobody says anything until uke is contemplating transfering schools in middle of high school. his parents divorced so he's thinking maybe going to live with his dad and getting away from seme would be good for last year of high school. getting away from distractions lol. seme gets super mad cuz he likes uke and doesn't want him to leave. actually we don't know yet but seme has liked uke since 3rd year middle school. anyway they fight and uke says he never thought they were friends, meaning he always thought of seme as more, but ofc seme doesn't want to hear more and storms off. then some time later at a school trip they have to room together with a bunch of other guys. some other guy tries to assault uke and seme comes to the rescue lol. seme confesses and tells uke not to go, but is like i don't expect a reply. but uke holds him back and kisses seme as reply. cute!! then we see a little hint into the future where they're in uni and still together <3 and uke got drunk so seme takes him home. then in the extra stories there's the look at them in middle school and we see seme's point of view. then we see them in the present again and seme gifting uke philharmonic tickets for christmas.

SO GOOD. SO CUTE!!!! experienced hot uke thinks he can get anyone, but while modelling for photographer seme, realizes seme has 0 interest in him. uke rises to the challenge of making photographer sleep with him and makes a bet with his friends. eventually he starts doing practice dating with photographer cuz seme says he's never had an interest in relationships and uke pretends he also doesn't have experience. along the way seme starts having real feelings and uke as well. seme says to end it and uke upset. turns out it was just cuz seme felt bad having real feelings for uke while they were supposed to just pretend. uke is like let's date for real and seme agrees. so now they're blissfully dating but seme doesn't take the next step. uke keeps trying lol. one night seme meets uke's friends and they reveal that uke made a bet about dating seme and also uke has lots of experience. seme upset and walks out. all of this was cuz of one guy uke dated in the past and still in love with uke. he's in the friend group and kept wanting seme and uke to break up. but he was ashamed of publicly being with uke, so uke broke up with him. anyway, uke tries to run after seme but falls down the stairs and ends up in hospital. next afternoon he wakes up and searches all over for seme while seme keeps trying to call him as well. finally they meet up outside of uke's house cuz that bad friend had uke's phone and called seme over and stuff. anyway, uke talks it out with ex and they stop being friends. uke and seme meet up inside uke's house. both thought the other wanted to break up but ofc not lol. then seme puts uke to bed and leaves. a while later seme takes uke to a friend's wedding and openly introduces uke as his bf. uke so touched. that night they go home and have sex for the first time lol. seme was not without sexual desires, but just didnt want to burden uke cuz seme thought uke was a virgin without experience. now he knows otherwise and is more forward about it. SO CUTE. SO GOOD EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. AMAZING ART. AMAZING CHARACTERS. WELL PACED STORY!!!!!!!!!! actually funny how uke is so confident and narcissist and seme is a bit clueless but still very smart and confident at dealing with problems. honestly how they passed every problem was so refreshing. no dumb shit like usual in stories, just to make shit more dramatic.

bad fashion guy gets makeover by fashion student uke. first seme liked a girl but got over her fast when she started dating another guy. he went to get makeover to appeal to her, calling an ad and finding the uke. uke was gonna refuse but then saw seme had potential to be a great model for his graduation fashion show so he agrees. he helps seme pick clothes and gives relationship advice. somehow along the way they both start liking each other. seme is also kinda crazy and asks uke to kiss him as practice lol. anyway seme causes a dumb misunderstanding by saying he's dating the girl. it was just a lie he told due to bad drunk advice he got. they separate for a while cuz uke sad but then seme receives a text from uke saying to end their stylist agreement thing. seme rushes over to uke's house and clears up the dating misunderstanding and confesses outside his door. uke comes out and they start going out lol. then everything is fine and we see them continue well with school. kinda boring but ok.

first and third year high school students. younger seme had to quit baseball in middle school cuz the seniors were jealous of him and make problems for him. now in high school he wants to pick it up again, so keeps approaching the third year uke who is vice captain of the club. but uke has heard the bad rumours and don't want to let him join. only when he realizes the rumours are all false he lets seme join. they spend a lot of time together and get close, seme developing feelings for uke and kissing uke one night. uke actually has feelings back but is very conflicted and not sure. they agree to kinda go back to their friendly relationship before, acting like it never happened. after a while uke almost decides to reciprocate but then thinks maybe better to let seme go so he can find a gf and be normal. but then decides to stop being a coward, scared that seme will leave him one day, and just be honest with his feelings. so he confesses back to seme even though seme was beginning to put some distance between them cuz he realized uke had some feelings but was still pushing him away. thought uke was just not going to start a relationship no matter what. but uke confesses and it's all cool and we see them 1 month later at a training camp. still acting mostly as before but now with some cute kisses <3

kinda boring cuz a whole lot of nOTHING happens for 50 whole chapters lol. author starts the story saying these two people in a car accident can be brought back to life if they show love for each other within 1 year. but nothing much is done about this premise beyond the first few chapters. at first uke and seme keep feeling heart flutters around each other and seme is against the whole deal. then seme falls for uke, but uke is unsure?? also uke has an image change to blond hair in the middle which is super weird. there was also a scene where seme's famous powerful politician dad comes in and threatens him a little but then is never to be heard from again. also some drama with another guy liking uke and an evil manipulative girl like seme. but they get cast off pretty easily and ofc seme and uke end up together. the angel that made them live again only shows up as another uni student in the middle and doesn't do anything angel-like ever again.

two guys friends since birth but seme moved away in middle school. then uke moved to seme's next door in high school so they meet again. one day seme dies on his way back from buying a gift for the person he likes. uke is mourning but next day wakes up and seme is alive. the date is in the past. then he tries hard to figure out who seme likes and to prevent seme from going to get the gift. in the end ofc figures out it's himself and asks seme about it. seme confirms it's him and uke says he doesn't dislike being liked. then they just hold hands cutely and it ends.

kinda not well written, but 4 stars for the effort of the story lol. so in uni uke is totally in love with seme for 3 years. but one day seme says some rude things to him and suddenly he just hates seme lol........... so never wants to see seme again. but during this time seme realizes he actually misses uke and wants him back. so he starts pursuing uke back but uke is totally stubborn and refuses to even consider a relationship now. i mean good for him, but this change is sooo drastic....... some drama with another guy liking uke and another guy liking seme. guy after uke goes off to military and he meets his own uke there but they don't get together yet. our uke currently has kidney failure and goes off to another country to get treated and get a transplant. seme trying to find him desperately, which is weird cuz he followed uke to the airport and knew uke's flight number......... well eventually seme finds out which country uke went to and which hospital. but uke moves hospitals and seme thinks it means uke wants to avoid him, so seme decides to withdraw the investigation. 5 years later. uke back in china. meets seme through some friends. seme gets injured cuz of uke and uke takes care of seme. then the guy after seme, still after all these years lol, hires some nasty thugs to kidnap uke and take lewd photos. uke escapes and seme finds him and beats up those thugs with bodyguards. guy after seme goes to jail i guess, he's gone. uke finally decides to give seme another chance. after all these years goddamn. i mean obviously he always had feelings so why was he being so stubborn........but anyway after that the guy after uke initially gets together with the uke he met in military training. and all seems good. they also exchange rings and kinda suggest will marry in another country.

uke said some reassuring words to seme in high school when he saw seme crying on his parents' death anniversary. uke was third year, seme second year. some time later, like 2 years maybe, uke visited the cafe seme worked at and noticed how handsome seme is. seme also acted a little awkward cuz he recognized uke but didn't acknowledge it. now another year or so later both are in uni and neighbours. they kind of get closer as neighbours cuz seme makes some small advances. uke just broke up with a bf and seme went to interfere when he saw uke crying meeting the bf again. but it's fine uke's moved on. then at the end it's just seme proposing uke gives him a chance too. and uke says to try it, so no relationship at all in his story... seme is indeed hot, but honestly both character look so typical and boring.

seme is police officer/detective. uke is forensic pathologist. uke once got kidnapped and electricity tortured until he gained bioelectricity. so his body can emit electricity, which he uses as a pathologist to solve cases. most of the story is just them solving one case after another. we just see a little about uke wanting to find his torturer, who is still out there. and seme wanting to find his little sister, whose whereabouts were unknown to everyone. only in the last 10 chapters we see some advancement in both of these plots and even their romance is kinda dead until the very last chapter....... like they don't kiss or hold hands or say anything romantic to each other. just some blushing and deep care for each other until a kiss in the last scene. anyway, so basically they catch the woman who was behind all that. she also kidnapped seme's sister, but her body is unfound. don't even know if she is dead or alive. uke and sister were held together before when uke was captured. it's not clear how uke escaped before. lots of plot holes and not a lot of romance, but i like detective stories so it was okay.

SO GOOD WISH THERE WERE SOME EXTRAS!! seme bullying uke cuz he thinks uke attacked his brother 1 year ago. but uke was just being scapegoat for his half-bro cuz he needed money for his grandpa's surgery. as seme is bullying, he realizes uke not bad and uke never fights back or anything. somehow he starts thinking uke likes him lol and he does everything saying it is to be nice to uke and to consider uke's feelings when obviously seme just wanted to do them cuz he likes uke. all this bit is so funny and cute! there's some drama about the half-bro coming back and causing another trouble. uke's dad tries to get uke to be the fall guy again, but uke records the convo and says no way. seme is super bold and kinda an idiot, so funny, and he comes out to his whole family right away. seme also super nice to help uke with work to help make him money even though seme is from a rich family and can give the uke money. but ofc uke always refuses direct money. anyway ofc there are some bits left unexplained and wish there was more to see of their future, but this story is so sweet and good. unfortunately one of the worst translations i've ever seen in my life but i got it because they're translating so literally from chinese.
