tofu's manga / #Manly(202)

Oh god this hurt me real bad. I love Asada Nemui's works, but her one shots are just on another level.

TW: rape (not between MCs) This has so much potential but fails to live up to it. The premise is SO good, it's a bummer that the writing wasn't better and the ridiculous storyline made the cut.

Cute and short story about schoolboys with enemies to friends to lovers trope. I like that it's so straightforward with no dragged conflict at all.

Idk how to describe the feelings i had reading this, but i like it a lot. Many things that i could relate to, and the story is bittersweet and grounded in reality.

I've read dozens of mangas with this exact dynamic and fall in love with every one of them every single time because honestly, this found family trope is god tier. Adorable, heartwarming, ML is pushy but i still can't hate him, and no unnecessary drama.

This manga is so pretty! The characters are drawn so fluidly as if they're in a drama and it fits so well with the story. I wish they had more development though....i would love to see them banter more, and i do think that the story would make much more sense if they were grown adults instead of high schoolers.

Weird that caleb has been watching eiji since he was a literal 6 years old......they did state that caleb had no sexual urges before so its fine i guess? idk, lots of unexplained things and the rules of this manga's world are so arbitrary.
