stressedpenguin's manga / #meh(446)

Blond monk dude is hype to meet the guy his master has been praising since forever. But the guy is way more carefree and irreverent than expected, which irritates our boy. They have like two misadventures on the way back to the monastery and our boy develops a crush Uhhh wasn't much invested in this one. There wasn't enough time to develop the relationship, so the relationship basically exists because this is a BL and it had to? Or at least that's how I felt. 5/10, it was fine I guess

That... somehow felt like a whole lot of nothing. There's so much fluff that it feels like the story had no meaning. I dunno. Uhh the brother sucked and everyone else was generically nice? That's about the extent of my feelings on this I guess. 4/10

Pretty standard popular seme x shy otaku uke. Exactly what I read it for 5/10

Two guys wash up on a deserted island that actually isn't deserted. Uke doesnt want to fall in love. Seme is very persistent. Uke falls in love. They get rescued. End of story. 4/10

Last read ch 6.5 Okay I know I just read this but I dont remember much about the plot. Seme and uke somehow start talking at school for unknown reasons and the seme falls in love, kisses the uke, uke falls in love, sex. That's about it? Pretty cute and surprisingly fluffy despite the over all mellow tone. Supposedly there's more but I'm pretty satisfied here so I probably wont keep up with this 5 or 6/10

High school boy gets interested in anal and asks the popular guy at school to fuck him. They both immediately get hooked and then feelings happen. I think they did a good job showing the slow ish progession of the seme getting totally hooked on the uke. There was also a side throuple with the uke and seme's friends, and it kinda... sucked. I dunno if it was supposed to be funny but the uke in this pairing was absolutely not ok with any of it and that seemed to be the point? Anyway, uh I could barely tell any of the characters apart and kept getting them mixed up even at the end. 5 or 6/10, wasn't a horrible experience but kinda just... meh, but I liked the main couple so

Dropped at ch 4(?). This is a mess huh. Everyone is hooking up with everyone else and getting hurt Rooting for the childhood friends Edit: well I started reading this forever ago, ignored every update, and remember not liking it that much so ima just.... go -/10

High school boy starts cooking for and caring for his scruffy but hot neighbor, they fall in love, there is some very light drama, they confess, the end. Mmmmm not a fan of the age gap. Could've just... not made him a high schooler and this would be less sus. But cute i guess? Theres the The classic mistaking the sister for a gf which is annoying. And well. I guess they at least kinda waited until the kid graduated. Idk 5/10?

i... yknow

Hmm. Started very cute, fluffy, and domestic. By ch 4 tho, it's starting to feel like this is an unhealthy situation for all of them. Seme is playing the doting bf for a bunch of lonely people who all have unique needs. That's draining. It's clear they all want to be special to him, too. Idk. I'm getting drained just reading this. Curious to see how it turns out, but it's looking like a breakdown. Idk. Update ch 6. That was wildly unsatisfying. Seme and uke's relationship barely exists because it's so far been all about fucking. It's weird that the uke encourages the seme to keep contact with all his ex clients because they were specifically coming to him for the loving boyfriend act, so now he's kinda just leading them on. Hiroki doesn't have much of a personality? Hes kinda just blank all the time? He barely reacts at all to the seme apparently having an obsessive ex that regularly escapes his mental hospital? Also that was such a sudden plot point? (Unless I'm misremembering) 3/10, this kinda... sucked
