ReviewRaptor's manga / #GORGEOUS Character(s)(754)

Why was this over way too quick!? I wanted more of them! XD The characters both feel very realistic but still idealized for a semi-comedy setting, which I am very fond of. Both have flaws and strongpoints, but somehow i wish we could have known them a bit more in a personal sense. I wouldn't say they feel shallow, just that we only saw the surface because that was all the plot needed to work for the romance. A bit more immersion would have been nice tho. Love the story tho. The mild comedy and weirdness of them interacting in any way was decently done. Could have done even better with more detail to characters and maybe some dates and happy or cute moments. Maybe some slightly sad heart to heart talk at one point. But I suppose the author wanted to keep it simple and light as a read, which the endresult did perfectly so. Might not be everyone's thing, but I'd suggest reading it and giving it a try. It's no grand romance or such, but definitely something you can read when bored or just want to browse new content.

This really is a complete greeen flag comic from start to finish. But that's also why I wish this was WAY longer! The character personalities are all great, each character feels realistic in behavior and is acting like a person and not just doing things to create moments for the story/drive the plot along as the author wants. The writing is definitely well done. Overall setting, dialogue, characters, etc.. Very well done in every way, which is a surprise for something so simple. Usually there are flaws here and there for some things at least. But I honestly didn't spot any. The art is lovely and the world setting is super interesting. Makes me hope the author will do many more stories in this setting. :) The romance is super sweet and simple because sometimes it's just like that. Definitely recommended and something I will add to my favourites. Worth re-reading too I think, just because it's such a nicely written story all around.

I really like seeing two guys acting like guys, these two feel genuinely like two dudes falling in love and being awkward with each other, as one would in real life. The story has enough detail but not too much when it comes to the surrounding aspects of the characters and nothing is over-/under-done from what I can see. Lovely little read, definitely something I would recommend for someone looking for a realistic, simple story. :)

Definitely a good read for anyone looking for something simple and more realistic. Could have used a bit more of that hook factor in some way, but still good as is. I'm personally not a fan of the personality and reasoning of the love interest but all in all it's a decent story. Has it's negative aspects in very small ways here and there but it's still a good read. Small Spoiler: Love seeing actually abusive parents get reported. I think the mother should be send to prison as well tho, given she WAS around when the boy was abused. That bitch is just as guilty for not protecting her child. So fuck her. :D

Both stories are just adorable. All characters are endearing and feel realistic. The pacing could be a tad slower and more detailed but it's a good read regardless because it works well with what it has. Would honestly say this would be worth an anime (not long enough I suppose tho) because this would be such a sweet romance to see animated, I can totally picture the soft, watercolour type shots of them smiling and blushing, surrounded by flowers. Those scenes were just beautiful. Would totally have been worth a full page illustration with lots of details every now and then. <3 Definitely recommended. It's simple and quick but the stories and characters worth experiencing.

Somewhat rough spoilers, because it's needed. Beware. The overall story setup and art are great, Nekota has a talent for making situations good with expressions, cute and serious alike, very talented in making sensual smut scenes that are often creative in terms of angles and whatnot. The comedy, adorable scenes and sexual moments are done incredibly well and with great detail. It's definitely a joy to look at and read. Especially since the dialogue is well written as well. Which makes reading just for the story/romance interesting enough and worth it in and of itself. But the one thing I think is the detriment of this story is the initial encounter/treatment before we get to the actual romance part of the story. It's incredibly bothersome how the MC is treated and his justifiable fear and hate is invalidated. To top it off, the typical nonsensical and straight up idiotic 'you have to be a doormat no matter what people do to you' ideaology of the asians being thrown into it all as well is making it really nasty tbh. And it's odd, because I find myself agreeing with the openly homophobic MC more than any of the other characters. The gay characters were the ones needing more reprimanding than the MC most of the time. Yet the story pretends only he is at fault for anything. Sure, he calls people faggot, but that is NOTHING compared to sexual harrassment and invalidating said harrassment! I mean, really?: Being randomly grabbed? Your fault for being scared. Being literally sexually harrassed? Better go apologize to the guy so he doesn't cause problems for the company! Just, no. He was in his full right to lash out. Especially with the company client incident. WTF was that?? Don't get me wrong, the story is still good! It's just this aspect of it that is really shittily done and you need to be able to shrug it off to enjoy it. Granted, it being somewhat unrealistic/comedy focused and having the typical comic 'they WILL screw, no matter what!' idea attached to it, make it end up as a somehwhat cute love story (if you ignore the afore mentioned), but the mistreatment and invalidation of problems really, REALLY irks me and leaves just a bad taste in my mouth since it is so badly done. Has back then when this came out and nowadays. People need to take serious problems, well, serious. Working them out with care is important. :'D If Nekota had put in effort of making a therapeutic arc or such in which the MC looses his fear gradually rather than just the typical smut trope of 'I feel good after being touched, therefore my problems are nullified', then it could have redeemed itself for the issues. But it wasn't so it definitely can be that some readers will not enjoy it. If you CAN shrug off issues in a plot, then you can still have a good time. As I said, the overall plot idea is great as a setup and the art amazing. Worth a read but depends on taste and ability to read fiction even if it's unpleasant. I suppose reading 'for the endgame' applies here rather well.

My review: https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/19070082/ The story itself as a base setup is EXACTLY what I always wanted, but it having such creepy, nonsensical and quite frankly rape-y aspects to it make it more of a dissapointment than me screaming with joy. That made it meh, because this is literally the exact same nonsense as a typical smut hentai: abandoning all reason because the MC randomly feels good and then becomes an obedient cocksleeve. XD Great fap material. Great disappointment for those who hoped for something like a romance even in a very small way. The art is really great btw, some really interesting poses, angles and so on. Could have done without the dumb smut ahega-ho faces tho. Give it a try, but don't expect more than just fucking. Because that's all it is. Sadly.

I honestly love this. FINALLY a sub/dom without any creepy, rape-y undertones or blatant plot tropes. We need more of this! <3 The story itself is incredibly interesting, but I do think it was really rushed. The jump from testing the waters to both of them dating was really random and came out of nowhere, so them 'falling in love' somehow didn't really register. Kinda fell flat and made it feel shallow in terms of emotional impact and immersion. That could have been done better I think. BUT! It's still a good read. Both characters are lovely and interesting and the story and art definitely worth experiencing I would say. Give it a try, I don't think it's a regrettable choice to read it. :)

The base story is really great, I DID think they were highschoolers tho, not adults. Don't think I ever saw adult delinquents except in yakuza comics. That kinda came out of left field. XD The art is lovely, the characters nice, the story really interesting and wholesome and overall writing is very well done I would say. I honestly have nothing to complain about. It used everything it had well, just to the right amount, and wasn't weirdly paced. Definitely worth reading, maybe even a must read for those looking for a fun little romance that's both wholesome and funny. (I also agree with other posters; this is anime worthy!)
