stressedpenguin's manga / #meh(446)

Uh lowkey no idea what I just read. They sped ran a reencounter unrequited love story for the first half and then a persist pushy seme chasing after the same guy's ass for... apparently multiple months?? years?? Idk theres no build up. Characters react like something dramatic just happened but I dont see the drama in it. This was kinda a mess 3/10

Dropped at ch 5. I'll be honest, really cant get past the keeping... people as pets thing. It's really... dehumanizing yet tha somehow feels like it's the point? Idk, I dont find this wholesome or enjoyable at all so I'm dropping it -/10, can't rate cuz I didn't read enough

Dropped at ch 30. Yeah technically there are more episodes, but I'm good here. Hot, beefy seme saves a beautiful sexy baker uke and wind up working for the uke. Seme has a massive crush on the uke ut the uke only has eyes for those big tiddies and glittering abs. Seriously this uke is absolutely drooling over the seme. Some silliness ensues and the uke finally falls for the seme. I have no interest in whatever drama they're gonna throw in next so I'm tapping out now 5/10

Ch 1-4: Uke is dying to get laid and orders a rental boyfriend not knowing they don't do sex. Winds up having sex with the young but charismatic rental boyfriend. Does that a few times before they fall in love with very minor hurdles Ch 5: um guy gets turned on by a waiter boy in an apron, find out that waiter is his kid brothers friend, fucks the friend. Massive age gap, and a minor. At least its consensual? Ch 6: really short bit with a silly vampire and the guy he bit 4/10?

This really is oops all fake dating where both couples play pretend lovers and of course wind up really lovers. Was pretty meh for me but I'm knocking it down a few points out of spite for sending the message that romance is more important than healthy sibling or other platonic relationships and another point for drawing Blond Uke like an actual child in their attempt to get across that hes naive and childish. ....maybe I'm just in a real grumpy mood today 3/10

Guy who loves pastries works at his favorite patisserie. His grumpy boss suddenly confesses to him because there's no one else who loves his pastries like the MC. A bit cliche maybe but still cute. (That's what happens when you read so much BL lol) 5/10

Yknow. I want to say this hit me in the feels, but I honestly just couldn't get into it. After hitting his head in an accident, out MC is suddenly able to see the 17 yr old ghost that's been living in his apartment. MC was an aspiring mucision who's given up on his dreams after a heartbreakingly disastrous first street performance, but through his interactions with this ghost, he rediscovers his love for singing. I think knowing the ghost was... a ghost and given the very grounded tone of the story, I probably checked out emotionally before I even began. I want to say this was good and that it hurt or was cathartic or whatever, I cant. I just didn't engage with the story at all, so it didn't feel any different from all the other things I've read. I think it was just objectively good from an art, story, and execution standpoint so.... 6/10

Ch 1-4: Seme has a one night stand, gets hit by a car, and winds up at the hospital where his one night stand is a nurse. Naturally they fuck some more theres the lightest bit of drama, and they go back to fucking. I need more of Takuma in his mechanic uniform Ch 4-7: um. A teacher is fucking another teacher and his high school nephew... so. That's a thing. Overall, 4/10?

Very cute domestic fluff, not a whole lot happens tbh, but that's not a bad thing. We dont get too deep into either character's personality and theres very little if any drama. 4 or 5/10. Felt like a lit of fluff with not much substance for me. Wasnt in the mood for this kinda story so maybe being a bit harsher than usual
