tofu's manga / #Decent(243)

TW: dubcon Everything except the sex is great. Really moving, i even teared up at some scenes. I wish it focused more on the plot rather than the porn.

TW: prostitution, abusive family, huge age gap Oo leon movie type of feel but with zero professional killing and less creepy age gap (it's still Huge though). I like the premise and was glad that it didn't drag on because it has all the potential to become Very Dramatic and thats not something id enjoy. It's short but the relationship is decently written eventhough it sacrificed some of the plot development.

Two bros can't help but falling in lust with each other. One of the MCs is real annoying but their relationship is so fun to read. Seriously, they're both idiots and they deserve to be idiots together.

Classic honor student × delinquent. Nothing new with the plot and progression but i like how author chose to depict realistic sex-- the uncomfortable and embarrassing preparation, awkwardness during sex, "failed" first time, the constant anxiety of not being good at it, and finally communicating what feels best for you and your partner. Not a lot of authors made that choice and opted instead for the unrealistic (and tbfh, quite damaging) depiction of sex, so i respect this manga for it.

What i like: - relationship discussion & compromise - consent & communication - reversible established couple - bottom positivity! position dont matter and it never represents your masculinity or whatev, the only thing that matters in sex is that you and your partner enjoy it! you're free to like one or the other or both as long as you're comfortable with it! What i dont like: - the writing's not very good so 3 volumes of this felt like a drag - the flashback when they were in HS kqjwjwjsiwki 100% skipping it

JAHDGJWHSWJHWHWH this is freaky but adorable atst??? The tentacle porn dream and talking about fish mating while having sex weirded me out but.....ignoring those, it's v wholesome.

Short and uncomplicated! I like that it's only 4 chapters whwhwh i imagine it would be a drag if it were any longer, but as is it's a satisfying quick read. The whole time i was reading i was thinking that this wouldve made a good teenlit movie.

Healthy rs points all checked, writing's kinda subpar but still decent.
