stressedpenguin's manga / #light smut(118)

Gotou's house is possessed by the ghost of a high school delinquent who's hanging out in his apartment so he can eventually reunite with his younger siblings. After living together a bit, the two fall in love. Was hoping the younger brother would get to see the older one eventually but that's okay. 5/10. Very standard plot, not a lot of drama.

Glad I'm not the only one who had struggled u freestanding this . I get the overall fist and I really liked the concept, but man it's just hard to understand. I originally read this a long time ago and it left such an impression on me that I was thinking about it for years. I guess that speaks to how good this story is. Just a shame I cant find an official translation for it I guess... 6/10? I'd probably like this more if I could understand it.

That... I had a really hard time processing the translation. I understand enough to get through the story (mostly on vibes) but I think I'm missing a lot of the nuance. I liked it, though it was kinda frustrating to read. 6/10. Its probably higher but I just could nor understand it, so 6/10 Prequel to 23:45 Re:

Was expecting this to be cliche, but it's actually tor a lot of depth. The characters have some interesting conversations that make this feel almost like a character study. Tsuzuki (seme) feels like your usual perfect popular seme but he's got more substance to him that I cant describe. Hanaura feels like your usual gloomy, outcast uke but you actually get ro see his inner thoughts and piece together why he is the way he is. I frickin love this 8/10

Mellow kinda uke x the chill but responsible kinda seme? Uke has a rule of sex friends only, no romantic relationships and now hes falling for the seme. Its very cute in a gentle kind of way. Tbh I felt like the story could have been longer! I wanted to see more of them!! 7 or 8/10. It really did feel too short, which is kinda holding it back and the random side story was a distraction for me

They are very cute and I love how indulgent the seme is, but also like wow yeah the uke is very spoiled 6/10

Hold up. What was that flashback from the shinigami??? Was he the uke's dad?!??! Or am I dumb?? EDIT yeah I'm just dumb Guy nearly dies on the daily but theres a mysterious black shadow that seems to save him. Turns out shadow is a shinigami who's protecting him from death. Guy and shinigami fall in love and fuck and theres some angst. 6/10?

Seme makes side dishes at a supermarket and notices the uke exclusively picks options he made. They happen to meet outside the super market and the seme starts making the uke food everyday. The ending is was very sweet The seme, whose life has always been a bit aimless, finally gets the courage to start his own bento food truck so he can follow the uke wherever the uke's work puts him. I love food based stories man there's something so homey and soft about them 8/10

Uke can read minds and knows his kinda friend had a crush on him. There a bit of light drama and interference from uke's overprotective brother. Also the seme is very awkward and a bit... air headed? Is that the right descriptor? Idk. Either way, he's earnest but a little too like "omg does this mean he likes me" kinda energy, which is not my cup of tea. Also its unclear if the uke is really romantically interested in the semenuntil the very end, so hes kinda leading the seme on for that while 5/10

Ch 1-2: high schooler x his not blood related uncle have had the hots for each other since they were actual children. Wasn't a fan. Ch 3-5: Seme confessed 5 years ago but chickened out and said it was a joke. They live together and the uke is annoyed the seme hasnt completed his confession yet. Overall, 5/10
