Hyung's manga / #Slice of Life(156)

The first season revived my cold dead heart. I don't know what it is about the portrayal of feelings here but it got me in my feelings.

Lol, the seme is a piece of work. So there are these two guys, right? They're dumb. Exhibit A: The seme is too stupid to notice he can develop these things called "feelings" bc they're not attached to his dick. Exhibit B: The uke is too stupid to establish proper boundaries in their relationship for his own sake and does That Uke Thing where he decides everything by himself. The standard BL foundation of a toxic, nonreciprocal relationship. Neither of them seem to develop much as characters outside of their relationship with each other, but it's like 35 chapters, I wasn't expecting too much in that regard. The plot twist: I enjoyed this immensely lmao. This falls under the guilty pleasure category for me. Sometimes I enjoy reading about semes being mean to their ukes (I mean, as long as they don't take it too far). :D

Wooow. This is only 28 chapters long (not including the 2 side stories), but it manages to capture and convey the growth of the two MCs. One student has unresolved and unprocessed personal trauma, while the other is being crushed by expectations he has via archery. This makes for an interesting dynamic as the story progresses bc they go through so major bumps as they get closer. Possibly one of the best stories I've read in a while.

Bro, I felt so sad for Jihan for most of this story. And then the story just snowballed into a mess after they agree to date. I was so mad up until about 25 chapters about everything lmao and then I just felt sorry for everyone. A fun read if you want smth dramatic hehe.
