just_m3h's manga / #break up(68)

Yuuya, a loner, fell in love with Ryuji, the popular guy at school who befriended him. But after his confession got rejected and they share a sexual moment, Yuuya overhears that Ryuuji cares way more about popularity than their friendship or his feelings and privacy. After Yuuya transfers, they meet again in university. Is reconciliation possible? Ryuuji certainly did his best to redeem himself. But the rape, ughhh. Also, the students at their uni kinda suck. 4.1

Fucking hell. This is the pits.

Yohta's love language is acts of service but he keeps miscommunicating in relationships. Eventually, after being left homeless after a particularly nasty breakup, he meets Tatsumi, who takes him in. Yohta is so precious. I don't think he went about it the wrong way, per say? He just wasn't in love with any of the people he dated. And they most certainly were not in love with him. Heck, the last one lacked basic human decency. Tatsumi was good for him, but Tatsumi should have a little more faith in him, honestly. At least, he realised the error of his ways. 4.7/5

hhnnnnngh!!! motto motto!!!

1: Student x Teacher. A kid in sensei's remedial class keeps insisting on his romantic feelings for him. Sensei keeps dismissing him, thinking it's all a prank, but what if the kid's serious? I don't like it, he's just too young for sensei. 3.4 2: Student x Teacher. They were lovers when Kaya was in high school but the teach broke it up, because he was worried about Kaya's future. When Kaya disappears shortly after and returns 4 years later, teach is still left with nothing but regrets. Still squicky thay he dated his student, but better than the first story, where we actually have to read through the underage relationship. 3.4

Kirino was a young pianist who peaked at 10 when he lost his beloved mother (a famous pianist, herself). Disillusioned with life and estranged from his father, he finds his doom and salvation both, in an up and coming new pianist, Takase, who seems to idol worship him. Again, unhealthy but strong relationship. I feel like they'll become healthier as they each come into their own more and more. Why are musical yaois always so angsty? ~Ahhh. 4.6

Yoo Haa and Lee Sak are both people with difficult personalities, forced together by circumstances beyond their control. Can they make it work? It was good and all. Demo, nanka unsatisfying? Both characters were hard to like, but their pasts and trauma made it easier to understand why they were like that. And I truly did wish them well. But the end was still so vague and unsatisfying. I guess it was too unstable. And I also didn't particularly want Joon Young to get infected. I just, didn't like this one that much. 4

Yup. Still infuriating, 10 years later.
