sadslime's manga / #Sci-fi(12)

Tora and Hikaru were childhood friends from rival families who eventually became lovers, so when Tora hears that Hikaru died in an accident, he can't live anymore and decides to end his life. Only to awaken 250 years in the future with an android who calls himself "Hikaru-B". It turns out his parents wanted their son to get the love he deserved and set it up for him to be cyrogenically frozen and awakened when technology allowed for an android of Hikaru to be created, but living together, Tora can't help but find all the ways in which Hikaru-B isn't quite right. Just when he starts to get past all this and accept Hikaru-B for who he is, the android is suddenly replaced by Hikaru-A, who says he was meant to be Tora's companion all along and is a much better simulacrum of the departed Hikaru. But now Tora has decided Hikaru-B is the one he wants at his side, even if it takes another 250 year long journey to reunite them. This story is very dramatic, but so far-fetched that I felt silly for bawling my eyes out over it. I don't think I would read it again, but I do think the emotions were well depicted. Trigger warning: suicide.

Choi Gyuhuk is an esper who saved Yeon Sujeong, a guide, when Yeon was just 9 years old. Now, Gyuhuk is an adult and Yeon is all over him, wanting to do kiss guiding and such, and he doesn't know how to deal with it. But when Yeon finally confesses and Gyuhuk tries to turn him donw, Yeon comes up with an absurd proposition where if they have sex, he'll give up once and for all. Honestly, Yeon's character is very bad, most of it is smut, and the plot that is there felt so rushed that it didn't totally make sense. I would have liked to see them write this story with about double the amount of chapters, and a lot more character growth for Yeon. Trigger warnings: possible grooming, lying/manipulation, noncon, rape(somnophilia), BDSM
