ArtemisFowl's manga / #yay!(152)

Chiharu, the vice-president of the archery club, only gets the job because of his position as a third year, even though he practices a lot. He is always overthinking archery; it's only when Naagame, first year and genius newbie to the high school team, comes to the school, that he gets a break from his thoughts with Naagame's ardent love for Chiharu... ~ Chapter 3

Wow, wow, wow! This manga blew me away. Two patrons at a bar become friends, one a straight-laced alpha who doesn't believe he's better than everyone else (and is constrained by the pressure of expected perfection at work). His drinking buddy hears him out, and in the first chapter they end up in bed, with the seme super out of it and the uke (an omega) just wanting to be impregnated so that he can have stability. Things do not go according to plan for the uke, and the seme stops anything from happening once he comes to. The next day, the seme goes to work and realizes that his drinking buddy happens to be a coworker in a different department -- who pursues him with the same relentlessness he showed the night of their almost-consumation. Easily could have been trite, but the author managed to spin gold with the dynamics and the complexities of their pasts. An exploration of depth, tenderness, and what it takes to love another fully. ~Chapter 6.5

That was so cute!! I’m surprised I’ve never read it before. It was full of imagery, and the main characters really suited each other. The way they ended up becoming friends was very funny as well. The one thing I would criticize was how long it took, time-wise, to fix the misunderstanding.
