❀'s manga / #slow relationship(469)

pretty cute and got me teary, but seme is kinda an asshole. i was all ready to forgive him but they showed a montage of the shitty hypocrital things he's said and i thought he was really bad lol. his reasoning for being so rude is not even so understandable. so uke is a half demon and seme is human. they used to be friends in middle school but suddenly uke moved away one day and seme mad about this. uke doesn't know it affected seme so much. now as adults they're working at the same company, unclear what the company is lol but uke uses his mana energy to take care of these demon plants and seme is a researcher on these plants. seme super rude to uke from the get go though uke thought they were old friends. but uke has some mana problem so he can't control his human/demon appearance without a necklace. he lost it getting pushed by seme and turns to his demon form. seme suddenly hugs him and is like i've always been looking for you. cuz he remembers the demon uke saved him from falling off a bridge when he was young. so they go through a lot of stuff at work. seme being super rude to human uke. but confessing to demon uke and being super kind. seme waits for demon uke's answer. along the way uke's mana disease is cured and he can go back to the demon world. but he is hesitant because he likes the seme (?? how?? lol he suddenly developed feelings for seme even though seme was being totally an asshole to him). so he turns back and goes to tell seme the truth about himself. that he's both the human and demon. seme doesn't believe him and says some rude things again. uke saves him from death again. then uke goes back for real cuz fighting again with rude seme sigh... then seme comes to realization that uke was not lying about both ppl being him. he goes to demon world to find uke. they find each other and uke saves seme again cuz seme can't survive long in demon world. they come back to human world and get sweet together. i like how uke said he didn't forgive seme right away, but ofc he ended up forgiving it all lol. anyway then uke goes back to demon world for a while to get his mana necklace fixed. seme waits a month in human world before they're cutely reunited! seme gave uke his apartment key so uke just walks in one night and they suddenly have sex right away.......not so into that but ok nothing shown in shounen-ai. and the explanation seme gave for why he was an asshole. he liked his mom a lot when young but she left him and his dad. he liked uke a lot when young but uke left one day too (went back to demon world after parents' divorce). so seme was afraid of liking uke again and being hurt again. also seme said he only liked demon uke cuz demon uke reminded seme of human uke lol. kinda dumb explanation but ok it's cute story overall.

amazing art and well thought out story. but tbh the cat and dog uke and seme characterizations are not my fav, especially not the cat type personality and long hair. uke 24, seme 20. uke is young master of rich family, seme is hair cutter in salon owned by his dad in the countryside. long haired uke hates being touched after he got touched inappropriately by his older bro when he was 14. older bro kidnapped him for 3 days in a warehouse and touched him and shit, what happened not explained in full. so uke gets sent to live in the countryside for 6 months by his grandfather to learn about the area and prove he can live well on his own. his family just bought the whole area's land and considering redevelopment. uke upset about living in this rundown place and writes a proposal to demolish this place. but slowly he starts to warm up to this place, especially with help from the seme. the seme is super friendly to him and reminds him of a black dog from uke's childhood. slowly uke gets to be ok with seme touching him, but nobody else. there's some drama about another guy liking seme and that makes uke jealous. but that other guy is getting pursued by another guy lol and eventually those 2 get together after a traumatic kidnapping incident. but along the way there's a lot of cute stuff like the 4 of them going to live on a farm for a while to help out. them working in the modelling industry a bit and seme getting a hair stylist job there part time. the final arc is uke's crazy older bro coming back into the picture. first the bro meets seme and seme isn't aware of their horrible history, so seme gets sucked in by the bro's kindness. uke sees them together and starts to question seme's motives and stuff. seme also didn't understand their bad past, so questioned by uke was being so silent about his bro. things were kinda stiff between them. then seme finds out about uke's old proposal to demolish his neighbourhood. the older bro revealed this to separate them. seme and uke get into a fight and seme tries to reach out to the older bro to reverse this decision. at their office seme sees the older bro giving presentation on how much he wants the demolition to go ahead. just as he's going inside to object, he sees uke objecting and proposing something much better. to keep the homes but upgrading the district and stuff. so investors decide to go with that plan and the neighbourhood is saved. seme and uke meet after and talk it out. everything seems good between them. some time later they are eating with the 2 other guys to celebrate the saved neighbourhood. uke gets kidnapped again on his way home, by his brother. seme works with uke's driver/butler and the other 2 guys to find uke and save him. again the older bro took uke to the same place and is touching him. older bro just hates uke so much cuz of jealousy. bro is deaf in one ear and treated like disabled, so he mad at uke's better treatment by parents. but really he is misdirecting his anger. anyway, so uke is saved and gets his hair cut better. the older bro kinda chopped it off ugly. story just ends with 4 friends spending time on the beach with fireworks and one last kiss between seme and uke. finally uke kinda admits that he likes seme back even though all this time it's pretty obvious and they're already shared a lot of intimate touches. well that's the end and idk if there are extras on the author's weibo but too lazy to search that up. well written story and would be rated best if not for the fact i did not like uke's character much and seme is too typically a dog character. just kinda boring stereotypical characters i guess, but in a way i don't like... cuz i at some point preferred the second couple...they are also pretty stereotypical, especially the cute fiesty uke, but i liked that seme a lot more, the persistent, kind, but also cold exterior type.

good art and 3 couples. surprisingly i fricken love all of them!! so main couple is about this uke who thinks he's in love with a girl. the girl is fujoshi and actually cheering for him to end with seme lol. anyway uke gets a master (seme) to teach him how to seduce girls. master actually falls for him and kinda hinders him in his goal. while on a trip to seme's private island, seme keeps seeing uke get close with the girl and is upset. seme confesses and at first uke rejects it and thinks it's weird. but he quickly comes around. honestly i think it's too fast how uke's feelings change from liking the girl to realizing he actually likes seme. but he realizes he likes seme and goes to find seme to confess his feelings back. and they get together after that pretty easily. seme is from a rich family that doesn't pay much attention, so he just wanted someone honest to always stay with him, which uke promises to do. cute, but honestly the uke's feelings changed too fast! second couple is about the uke1's other "master," a computer science graduate student, and this student's friend from undergrad, who's a rich young master. so uke2 was helping uke1 get the girl and along the way uke1 wanted to help uke2 back cuz uke2 was getting ostracized by his classmates. someone had framed him for stealing other people's computer code. seme2 had to come back to uni from his ceo position at his family's business to help out uke2. he provided proof that it was all framed and uke2 got an apology from the bitch who did it. uke2 is really oblivious to seme2's feelings. they were roommates and great friends during undergrad, but seme2 thought they were kinda dating the whole time cuz of a misunderstanding. when he realized uke2 didn't see him in that way, he said he never wanted to see uke2 again. but now seme2 is back and willing to restart their relationship, even just as friends. seme2 floods his own house to have an excuse to stay at uke2's house. they slowly get even closer and uke2 begins to realize his feelings are not just friendship cuz seme2 helps him out so much. their confession scene is so unique and lovely, they might honestly be my fav couple! so they're talking about how good each other are and how they'll both be jealous of whoever got to be with the other in the future. and they look at each other and realize what it means lol, or at least uke finally realizes, seme always knew. then seme proposes they date each other to see what they had to be jealous of. i think this line wasn't translated properly, but i get what they were trying to say. very cute, love oblivious ukes! last couple is an art teacher at the uni and the model he knows. they knew each other for a long time and the model always wanted to prove his worth to the art teacher. but prof always super cold and unwilling to say any compliments or acknowledge the model's beauty. model actually became a model just to show prof that he is indeed beautiful and that other people agree or something like this. anyway whole time we see just model appealing to super cold prof, but at the end we see that prof actually told model that he was perfect one time. and model was drunk that time so he totally forgot and thought it was a dream. after prof told model this, model went overseas to start his modelling career and prof was hurt. thought that once model got validation, he would just leave prof. but model realizes this happened and comes to confront prof just before he always gives up their relationship entirely and goes overseas again. prof confirms it and they make up and get together. their ending seems kinda forced like author couldn't think of a way to make the always super cold guy suddenly change his mind, so gave him some sad backstory reason hmm idk. anyway overall a good read despite the weird title!

real fricken slow relationship but not really in a good way. feels like this story got censored or something so they delayed the confession again and again and even then it was barely a confession... there was also only 1 kiss and then everything else was censored. also the whole ending arc was about the uke's grandfather's old flame, so wtf... took a star off cuz the shounen ai was too little ai. basically uke one day turns into cat and finds out he's a cat demon. he gets picked up by seme, who is also a demon, but hiding his identity. seme is son of powerful demon family and ran away to human world. some demon relations team finds him and makes him go back and he has sad parting with uke. during the time when uke was figuring out his cat demon powers, they got pretty close. after that a year passes and seme comes back cuz he has to look for his sister and other demons who escaped to the human world. they find her pretty fast and at this point human demon world travel is allowed now. so they all go back to demon world together. uke also wants to find his mother cuz his father is human and they separated when uke was baby. in demon world uke meets his mom but she does not reveal her identity. only later when they all go back to human world, she also comes cuz she's finally escaped out. she never wanted to leave them but her dad, uke's grandfather, hates humans and didn't approve of her marriage. so uke pretty easily accepts his mom back into his life and his dad is happy to see her too lol and everything seems cool. but then the grandfather sends cat minion demons to get the mom back. he kidnaps uke's human friend to lure uke there and eventually lure the mom too. this whole final arc is so dumb and barely any romance. honestly barely anything of importance happens in uke and seme's relationship this whole story... but i find this is pretty characteristic of chinese manhua. just telling life story and the romance is interwoven. so uke and friend in demon world now. everyone else follows to save them. uke found refuge in a spirit old woman's flower patch protected by some spirit barrier. everyone else follows inside cuz old woman won't let him leave until she regains memories. then the grandpa chasing them meets the old woman and old woman's memories start to spark. basically they used to love each other but cuz the woman was human and would die early, she decided to split up with grandpa to spare him the pain of seeing her die. but wtf poor reasoning is that... anyway in the end her spirit flower garden is broken into by some random forest demons who actually were doing it for her or something? and she regains all memories and dies after that. guess it didn't matter who caused it but she would pass after regaining memories. that was pretty sad but this whole last big has no fucking romance between the seme and uke... whatever the end after that and uke's parents host a second wedding.

actor who has some curse that makes everyone like him upon sight and his new manager who isn't affected by the curse. interesting premise and cute art but the ending sucks so much. they are basically not even together at the end. just in some kind of wishy washy relationship but it's never clearly talked out and defined. so actor needs a new manager and the guy needs a job so he becomes the new manager. luckily he isn't affected by the curse so they hire him. everyone else around the actor is part of the actor's family and that's why they aren't affected too. they go through some normal actor problems like fans. then there's the actor's cousin who is also an actor and kinda hates him for having a curse that helps his job so much. so the cousin tries to get the manager away from the actor and even kidnaps the actor to do some evil shit but it's not well explained what the evil plot was... anyway manager comes to rescue the actor and they are fine. even reconciles with the cousin later. then there's a stalker guy revealed to be a guy who used to work with actor in a boy band. that stalker is so jealous actor went on to be famous while everyone else in the band kinda went back to being normal people. tries to stab actor but manager saves the day again. then actor is kinda seriously considering ways to give up this curse. but the only way they know how is to have a kid and pass the curse to him. and actor is by now in love with manager so he can't really just have a kid. in the end he confesses to manager and somehow that breaks the curse?? or the stalker shit broke the curse??? not fucking explained what the fuck broke the curse cuz it was supposed to only break with a kid. anyway it ends open ended like that and then the extras show them getting a little closer but nothing defined. but at least the manager initiates a kiss.

uke is super popular straight guy kinda living off of women. his latest gf dumps him and he goes to drink at a bar. there he is picked up by seme and they go to seme's house. seme wants to fuck him but uke protests and seme is a respectful guy so seme backs off. next day uke doesn't remember anything of the night before with seme and seme tells uke he can live here as long as he wants. seme is gay and always sleeps with men but only once per guy. uke has always dated girls and always rejects seme's advances by saying he's straight. this becomes kinda important later. this story is really relationship driven opposed to most other manhua which i would consider plot driven. the plot stuff is resolved super easily but the focus is mainly on their relationship development and growth. uke starts working as seme's assistant cuz seme always goes through them so fast. seme is a fashion designer but from a rich family. he keeps rejecting his dad to go back home but this is not too important and easily resolved, as is every other external problem to this couple. anyway over the course of half a year or so seme sees uke is a super good assistant. uke also starts developing feelings for seme. like his feelings of admiration turn into something more. uke is also pretending to be seme's bf in front of one designer cuz that guy likes seme. and uke realizes that he's jealous for real now when seme is close with the designer guy instead of just acting like a jealous bf. one night they kiss and have sex. seme is super serious about getting uke's consent the whole way through. they do it and the next day neither really acknowledge it. this is cuz seme thinks uke is regretting it cuz he was always straight. uke thinks seme only sleeps with guys once so that was it. well they resolve this shit and seriously get together pretty easily lol. they are good at communicating and don't drag shit out by not saying shit. there's some outside drama like uke getting kidnapped and seme saving him. then some powerful guy blackmails uke saying have sex with me or i will ruin seme's career. but uke blackmails him back by using his son's drug use. then seme's career is super successful. but media reports on some shady connection between uke and that family and seme's business falls again. seme also has to sell his mom's property left to him in order to pay employee severance and stuff but whatever, that house was like introduced at the last minute just to give seme some money outside of his dad cuz he's not talking to his dad. all the plot is really too easily resolved... so in the end seme's business is not successful at all.....................very not on trend with other manhua semes lol. the story kind of ends there but in the epilogue they go to uke's mom to tell about their relationship. much drama with the mom not accepting them at first and two chapters out of order like around chap 86. but in the end mom accepts and they grow super close and seme is reassured that uke won't leave him for a girl and they say they love each other. honestly would have given it a 4 star cuz i'm not into this whole coming out shit. but i guess the beginning was pretty good relationship progression. this author just kinda sucks at plots.

story kind of all over the place. started as animals. wolf pack picking up a golden retriever. then everyone turned human and they are part of some secret mafia or something. and boss in hiding after picking up a kid idk. and he was a kid but not an adult..... there's like a huge 20+ year age gap between them. very cute moments and love the characters, but no overarching plot? or just a lot of side shit? like 19 days so can't really give 5 stars.

stopped reading mid chap 18. scanlators used the chinese version to translate until chap 16 switches to official eng trans from the korean version. dark haired guy was fat and ugly but turned his life around in middle/high school. now in uni he aims to be popular still with good looks and good grades and good extracurriculars. but at first year gathering he meets the super attractive and friendly light haired guy who is also rich and just naturally attracts everyone. dark guy jealous and gets drunk and says how much he admires light guy. light guy somehow develops feelings back? because he is narcissistic and likes anyone who can appreciate his beauty?? idk this part is so weird and not really mentioned before or after, like his narcissism. but somehow he pursues dark guy and dark guy is kinda confused cuz only admired light guy but he starts having feelings back. they decide to get to know each other and that's basically what's happening. they are the president (dark) and vice (light) of the student council or something and working on the school festival together. some side couples introduced with dark guy's sister liking a girl. and just random other ppl in school introduced as another couple who used to know each other from kindergarten to high school. but short guy confessed to tall guy. tall guy oblivious it was a confession and transferred. tall guy transferred to another high school halfway but now they're meeting again. tall guy super friendly but short guy really scary and rude to him. but he never made it clear it was a romantic like and not friendly i guess idk.

pretty cute story all around, but nothing too spectacular and the falling in love seemed to happen out of nowhere for both. uke has ability to understand and talk to birds. seme can take over the mind of birds. one day seme as bird randomly sees uke and says his food looks good offhandedly. uke actually replies and seme is surprised. some days later uke helping a baby bird who fell out of the nest. he can't climb the tree to put it back and seme shows up to help put it back. after that somehow uke is in love with seme........... and it's later revealed that seme fell upon first sight when uke talked to him back............. anyway, uke acts awkward around seme's crow form now and kinda reveals to seme he's in love with the bird......... seme is like oh crap and leaves cuz he's feeling awkward, not cuz he's against it. anyway uke kinda gets over this love and redirects his feelings to seme's human form, an 18 year old guy. uke is 23 btw. so uke likes human seme now and completely over bird seme. since seme knows uke's feelings, he just asks uke out and uke agrees ofc. they start dating and pretty quickly kiss and touch each other and go on a date to an aviary even though uke hates birds (kinda weird seme pushed him into it. but author needed some plot device to make uke reveal powers). there's a fire at the aviary and uke uses power to tell birds to come to safety. after that seme takes it into stride he can talk to birds and uke is like wut why you not surprised. and seme reveals he also has a secret. uke guesses he was that bird and seme confirms it's true. seme stays over and they touch but not all the way. story basically ends there, but we get to see a cute snap of a year later or so when seme has started uni. they're still basically the same and spending time together. seme always popular with the ladies. then we see an extra of their first time when seme received acceptance letter to uni. overall cute read!

super cute and fun. like both characters a lot. a good read but don't expect deep shit. uke always buys food at this deli after the grandma who works there gave him free food one night when he was feeling weak and sick. after a while the grandma dies and he is sad but still goes to see the closed shop sometimes. after some months the shop is open again and there is a guy working there. the food still tastes super good so uke is not angry about this guy replacing grandma. he goes there all the time to buy food now and the guy working is always flirty with him. one day seme kisses him as he's eating the food. uke is shocked and leaves, avoids the shop for many days. but he keeps thinking about the food and seme and decides to go back. seme is so happy to see uke again, he stays up all night preparing for the next day's food as well. next day uke comes to buy and notices seme looks tired. seme says he's fine but then collapses. uke closes the store and brings him upstairs to rest. when seme wakes up, he says he was overworking to try to make sure uke didn't get bored of the food. uke says he would never and seme kisses him again lol. uke is like why you keep doing that and seme confesses seriously. uke goes off and thinks about it and one night sees seme with some girl walking around. he gets jealous but seme already saw him and is coming over. seme thinks it's cute uke got jealous and accused him of being with girls after confessing. turns out it's seme's sister. then they go back to seme's house and have sex. next morning they're cute and saying they'll be together forever. too bad no extras :( but so sweet nonetheless.
