eishin's manga / #Comedy(39)

It ended so abruptly... I might change the rating if we get side stories. I enjoyed this when it started, it was cute. But it started getting a bit frustrating around the middle. It's not bad but I've definitely read better stories, and even the smut was a bit meh. There were a few ones that was hot and the art is fine but maybe I just got burned out with the plot idk. If I revisit this again one day, perhaps I'll figure out how I feel about this story.

It's a good mix of funny, cute, and sexy. Takashina being freaky made me 1) laugh and 2) embarrassed but it's all good because somehow Ariji was into it too. We had a few close calls for non-con but thankfully, nothing of the sort really happened. The one time Takashina almost stepped over the line, Ariji slapped him + we later even learn that it wasn't because he's not into it but rather he's embarrassed for getting hard while being sniffed. Anyway, it was cute and all the lab equipment took me back to that one time in high school where I basically lived in our science lab for two months because of a research convention... good times.

We have a seme with strong himbo energy (but turns into a different person when acting) and an uke who's trying his best to figure out emotions using art. It's cute and I'm glad the brother is actually a good guy. There was one scene towards the end that's kinda concerning (i.e., please don't put foreign objects in any holes of your body), but overall this was fun.

Niangniang and Yanyan are so silly, I love them. I'm a bit sad that it ended but I'm happy with the plot progression. I'm going to miss all this sugar fr. Niangzi is rio!

Both leads are really freaky... also Youngtae (seme) thought that Daehyun (uke) was very plain looking upon first meeting (he was a playboy before going to the countryside). He fell hard, though, so that's fun. Daehyun knows what he wants too, it's so funny that he just goes for it haha, a very proactive virgin indeed.

Jaewon (omega) got sold off by his father to be Joonhee's (alpha) partner because of a business deal. It's played off as a comedy but the problem is that Jaewon isn't the type to settle (i.e., mostly spent his time having flings with alphas) while Joonhee is an obsessive alpha who pretends to be a green flag to fit Jaewon's preferences. It's an alright read, I suppose. Honestly, I didn't enjoy it that much because Jaewon immediately tries to cheat a month after their wedding. I get that Joonhee forcing him into a marriage isn't great either, but any kind of cheating plot point makes me uncomfortable (even tho Jaewon didn't actually go through with it because ofc Joonhee had a tracker on him ). Overall, it's a really shallow story. I think it's more of a pornhwa and the plot is barely there, things just happened for the heck of it. At the very least I was hoping to see what their kids look like but we didn't get that either :'(

In the beginning, Kotani did pmo a bit. He was so petty and had such an inflated ego, I thought Shishikura deserved better. He eventually got better... not that much of a change but at least Shishikura seems happy and he didn't do anything too problematic (I know, the bar is on the floor). It's a cute enemies to lovers (the reason they're "enemies" is stupid tho, all that over random bickering while they were in middle school). I almost dropped it towards the end of Vol. 1 because of Kotani, but I'm happy with the ending. I'll have to admit that they have their cute moments as a couple. Although, it would've been nice if we saw more of their baby girl.
