stressedpenguin's manga / #meh(446)

Could be more but I think ch 5 was the end. Story feels like it's really glossing over some things that need to be explored. MC clearly has issues about his wife dying. The thing with kataoka's mom is so... weird and mysterious. Also really annoyed me that Kataoka would kiss MC whenever MC was talking about trauma like dude this is not the time? Stop thinking about your own feelings. The kid was cute yeah but he also felt like a prop bc the story only barely touches on his own feelings. Still better than some other BL family stories but not great. Overall, 4/10 it's not actually bad just annoyed me

smut was less hot than i was hoping. 5/10

Cliche BL plot with handsome office worker x equally handsome construction worker. Very standard 5/10

solid 6/10

very tsundere uke. remember reading this a long time ago. uke bullies this fluffy prince guy to get the attention of the prince's friend. was cute ish but i couldn't stand the uke. 5/10

So the uke was just gonna sleep with the other guy no problem?? Man I do not like the uke. Seme was also kinda annoying. Relationship is unbalanced cuz the uke is an M but the seme isnt an S. 3/10

Seme was kinda pushy and a bit manipulative, which rubbed me the wrong way. Cuz the story kept jumping into flashbacks without clear indicators (sometimes flashbacks would be on black pages but sometimes they wouldnt) it felt like the relationship wasnt going anywhere. I wouldn't call this cute but its not... not cute. 4/10 felt stunted even if it was generally okay.

Uhhh uke is way controlling and suspicious. Major red flags here you dont need to interrogate your lover every time they go out yikes 3/10 this is a slippery slope

Another one where the kid is used more like a prop | plot device. Kid's cute but has little will of his own. Also were they seriously fucking on the bed where the kid was sleeping??? Did the mangaka just forget the kid was there!?!??! Someone give me a truly kid centric family BL. Maybe that's what I want rn. Overall cliche. 4 or 5/10

Two idiot childhood friends and their messy journey to a mutual confession. Solid 6/10
