Mangonificent's manga / #Multiple Stories(6)

(Ch.1+) Incest is something I usually avoid but for some reason it did not bother me here at all. Maybe because it was written in such a good and plausible way, maybe because I really liked how the characters interacted. It didn't feel creepy or forced, it felt real. Other good stories here too like the 2 jobless men bonding over a hilarious misunderstanding (Ch.2). In addition to being fun and surprisingly heartwarming, the story was interesting from a RL perspective because the author described it as their "first BL manga... just without boys and love" (lol).

The second couple sold this to me. So much depth, emotion and drama in just 2 chapters. Had a lot of potential for a longer story since there were some elements that would have benefitted from deeper elaboration but I’m still impressed how much was done with so little. Might have helped my enjoyment too that the boss is totally my type. During the first half I already was like “… would you like to step on me fine sir?” (lol) so color me very pleasantly surprised when he ended up not being just a side character. The story of the first couple, while I wouldn’t call it bad, it just didn’t immerse me in the same way.

Disappointing. The first story had such a promising premise with its’ interesting character dynamic but was ultimately rushed in the most unsatisfying way. The author decided to switch to a webtoon format in the middle and the story suddenly became a cringy rushed mess. Even had a “villain reveal” which felt right out of Scooby Doo. Frustrating since the beginning did such a good job capturing my interest. Did not bother to read the second story due to lack of interest.

Note to self: I recall liking the main couple but skipped over the other one. Maybe should revisit.

The stars are only for the main story. Did not care about the side one at all. Ch.1-3: The meat of this manga and the reason I read it. Fast paced and simple but gets bonus points from art, characterizations, overall fluff and BUNNIES. It’s just a sweet little story to enjoy when you want some light reading. I absolutely love the way the artist draws the seme and his resting bitch face. His personality is refreshing as well. He’s taking care of the uke but does this in a manner that respects their own ambition. I often get irritated by semes who just be like “Well I’m rich and ur poor so I’ll now solve all your problems whether u like it or not!” That can just make one feel like a cheap freeloader. The biggest negative I have is that the sex scenes were lackluster and did nothing for me. Especially the first one. The characters basically just did the deed while staying silent as if it was some sort of obligatory scene they wanted to be done with. IMO they could have saved it for later for a way better scene. Ch.4: Did not like this one at all so I decided to exclude it from my rating (would have brought it down to 3 which I feel is unfair to the main story). The beginning made me uncomfortable and while it does get a bit better the seme is just too much of a possessive asshole for me to care about any of their supposed "lovey dovey" crap. If I ever reread this manga, Imma just proceed to ignore this bit.

The first story managed to actually be quite interesting for the whole substitute and unrequited love angles but before it really goes any deeper with the theme, here's a second story hitting you in the face with some twincest. Yeah, not my cup of tea thanks bye.
