stressedpenguin's manga / #angst(93)

I read this once a while ago. I remember very little. It was okay? 5/10

Dropped at ch 6. Man they spent so much time going back and forth and back and forth I really wanted to smack them. The relationship between all of them is something you dont often see although it definitely seems like Nao and Ryo used the threesome to get Chika involved. Idk, this was pretty dramatic and a lil frustrating personally 5/10. Just not the story for me.

i don't remember much other than it was okay? 5 or 6/10

Bruhhhhhhh soooooo CUUUUUUTE. Honestly top tier seme. He just wants the uke to do smth he loves and explore his own hobbies. None of that isolationism and possessiveness. Uke learns that he doesnt have to be needed by anyone to be worth something. Pure and sweet. 9/10 I really like this one! name on MAL is Aisaretagari no Tsukushikata

guy is working as a stripper to pay bills and hiding this from his friend and family 5/10

Pickpocket (seme) gets caught by a no nonsense retired cop (uke) and is forced to do some manual labor. To retaliate, he breaks into the uke's house but pa icks and leaves when he finds out the man's a retired cop. Then he finds out the uke's got PTSD after finding his partner dead in his house and that's why he quit. The distressed expressions in this are so good; I know that's a weird thing to say, but they do angst so well in this. There's genuine character development for both characters despite this being so short. The drama of the reveal is 10/10 angst without been dark or twisted or depressing. I just wish there was more to explore the semes relationship with his friends and rhe ukes relationship with HIS friends and his trauma. As a minor note, the seme's hair is on point Story wise, I'd give this a 7 but the art is so frickin clean and fluid it gets bumped up to an 8 so 8/10

It's honestly kinda cute. They both acknowledge each other's hard work at their job and talk about personal things. The omega seems comfortable with the alpha. There's some last minute angst as its revealed by an ex fringe the past that the omega lowkey planned everything and then the drama gets resolved immediately in the next chapter. The end. 5 or 6/10. Not bad and surprisingly consensual.

Ch 4 is super censored and ch 5 isnt translated... why... Alpha guy is scared of interacting with omegas bc he raped one when he as young. then he meets a confident omega prostitute who's determined to help him through his trauma. was surprisingly wholesome and consensual, which is rare for an omegaverse 6/10

Really interesting concept. The only thing I wish was different was that they both had friends outside of each other. That's a common problem with romance stories. The story-telling in this was fascinating. We saw the first chapter and then again with more context and then again with a different perspective. Really well done. Solid 9/10 story

Suit shop and kimono shop. 6/10
