Yuki Nijino's manga / #unrequited love(129)

Idk what to feel about this. Like tbh i kinda already predicted the twist so i spent the entire things just looking at how he's lying. And also the parts where the mc treated seno like shit kinda stuck and didn't go away even after all that, like idk I'm just holding a grudge cuz I'm biased towards seno honestly. I like that they all ended on good terms even with hakushima by the end, cuz he was just caught in the crossfire and had his own fish to fry so to speak. I also noticed how the cuckoo imagery was prevalent in all their situations. The story of the cuckoo replacing the original child of the bird and all that. Like in the MCs back story (cuz he even straight out says it), how he is an orphan so he feels like he's the cuckoo in someone else's household but he actually has a happy home. Then seno who becomes the cuckoo by trying to replace hakushima while he was in coma, and taking mcs affection for himself. Maybe there's more imagery but these are the most concrete, the others i can think of are kinda superficial so i won't mention them.. All in all, it was good seno was cute af i feel for him mc was a bitch at the start and i could totally see that twist coming from the start. Wish they had more of what happened after they finally got together, that would've def made it five stars ngl. Also I'm not too sure what i was supposed to get outta this, like the moral(?) of the story? Cuz like it was mentioned by hakushima if he was just a soul would people still love him and all, and that made the mc believe the body swap because he wanted to believe that he loved his soul, but in the end it wasn't even his soul and it was seno all along. So like is the lesson you can't love a person by their soul? Looks mattered all along? Or is it that he wasn't in love just obsessed with h but then he actually fell in love with seno? But tbh even while he was looking for seno it didn't feel like he was in love with him. Feels like he just got together with him because seno liked him. Idk man, I don get love. Like i get maybe he fell for seno while the lie was ongoing, but like??? Idk, didn't feel like it cuz it still felt like he was obsessed with hakushima. Then hakushima (more or less rejected him) so he went for the next best option ykwim. Maybe that's my problem with this, i just didn't feel the romance.

Ch. 3 end?¿ Second hand embarrassment was strong with this one but powered through and the fact that the hyung knew everything kinda makes it a lot better lol. I also like how the mc chose death cuz anything else and i would have died from second hand embarrassment. Hyung is hot af btw as uke. Wish there was more but do i really? Well I'll never know cuz there isn't - Guy chases his crush to his workplace and got a quest to have sex in the office with him or he dies.

Ch. 6 People pressed about the age gap but honestly it's not that bad since there isn't really a power imbalance. Also note to self don't read the mains story (this is a spin off of) cuz the seme there sucks. And the seme there is the mc's childhood friend and crush sigh. - Dude isn't over his friend that got a bf then his friend's bf's brother who he's friends with confesses to him.

Honestly the uke was so cute he kinda made the whole story cuz like the seme even though he's the one lining what's with the cold treatment once they start dating?? You literally were the one sulking that bro got a girlfriend but once you start dating him you're over him?? Uke was all excited and shi about dating way to put a damper on his parade. Ughh the uke was so cute. At least at the end he went along with it but like that's it?? Wish there was more lovely dovey this had so much potential for that. - Dude unrequitedly loves his childhood friend who gets a girlfriend.

Ch. 5.6 end?¿ Honestly the mc in this was initially such a degenerate but somehow found his calling as a housewife and that's honestly so cute. Also the more i read the more i related to him which probably is a bad sign lol; the way he doesn't want to do things when told to but when no one tells him to he does them and finds his productivity satisfying, also the positive affirmation motivating him to do more. Also the way he did something and was like, I'm a genius, is so me lol. Also the way he avoids his problems like the plague, and is bad at expressing his feelings, and lives like everything is a joke and unserious, and how he's so lazy. It's all me that's crazy. Why can't i have my own then. God i see what you do for others, let me have it too. All in all was super cute. - Neet gets proposed to by his childhood friend.

I mean was okay ig. When they got together by the end it got cute. Was unrequited for most of it so I'm not too keen though. - Librarian likes an older regular at the library.

Ch. 27 Love thiss so far. This trope where rivals in love fall for each other instead is so my thing. Also i love how they got so comfortable with it other and are basically friends now. Love both of the mcs honestly usually I'm biased towards one but both are so cute and relatable aw. - Guy likes his sunbae then a rival wants to snatch him so he suggests he replaces sunbae for him.

Ch. 1 Omg i need moreee it's been like almost a year nooo - Guy's neighbour and crush saves him and loses his memory and thinks he's his brother.

Ch. 6 Super cute. There was that one sus scene where he sexually harassed the guy while he was asleep (just looked and touched his dick essentially) but if we ignore that this was hella cute, hella wholesome, yep. - Dude likes his co worker and repels the other pests who do too.
