Lil Maniac's manga / #Yaoi(386)

Oh wow that was actually not bad~ one of the better omegaaverse with a non-slutty omega~ this was actually pretty cute after they sorted out the misunderstanding. Good job sensei.

.. this was... THE BEST yaoi have ever read. It has surpassed all the hundreds of yaoi I’ve ever read and has reached number one by miles. Truly a masterpiece. This has everything I’m looking for in a (romance) story. The drama, the dark moments, the fluff. The themes are balanced and well done. One aspect I love is that though the uke and seme both have dark pasts (especially seme-san), they are able to look forward. They each accept that there is nothing they can do to change the past, so they resolve to look to the future instead. A future with each other, one where they are both happy. Another thing is how they are so reliant and in love with each other. Both are each other’s greatest weakness, but also each other’s greatest strength. I love that the seme only has eyes for the uke and has been gentle towards him ever since their first meeting. He has never once forced anything on him, always asks for consent first, and never allows anyone to lay a finger on him. As for the uke. Damn. I really like him. I never thought I’d meet an uke who is so understanding and loving. Despite knowing the seme’s past and line of work, he stays with him through thick and thin. It is exactly this that has become the seme’s salvation. What I love most about this uke is that (unlike other stupid ass ukes in almost every yaoi (and many shounen ai) ever) he makes decisions that count for both of them’s happiness. He doesn’t selfishly leave the seme for reasons like “he’d be better without me” or “this is for the best”, ignoring the seme’s feelings and hurting the seme in the process. He properly things everything through, and also faces the seme fully and without reserve. He always manages to ease the seme’s insecurities. I am honestly happy that the uke has not once left the seme. Just like that president lady said, he is indeed seme-san’s greatest weakness. But seeing that he is also the seme’s greatest strength, he doesn’t let outside influences affect his judgment, and properly sticks up for the seme at all times. If he had left the seme, I feel like that would have been it, and seme-san really would have broken down once and for all; his mental state would have taken a hard hit, and I’m not sure he’d be able to recover easily, if even at all. This story was wrapped up quite nicely. I can’t even begin to describe all the things I like about this. Well. I like everything about it. That last line in the ending (before the special chapters) was a nice, poetic touch: “to me, you are like ‘a thousand cranes’”. How brilliant of the author to tie in the title like that, so beautifully. Sigh. I could write a ten or so pages on the brilliance and magnificence of this story, but amma stop here (or maybe if I think of something else, I’ll add it in). Mangaka-san, good job. You are an amazing writer, keep up the good work~

Damn even though this was short it was well written~ It’d be awesome if this had a sequel

Omygosh omygosh omygoshhhhhhh! I’m only on the second chapter and I gotta say, damn man this sensei’s works are really intriguing. The characters are drawn so realistically, the proportions are well done (unlike those manga where everyone is so unnecessarily pretty that it messes wit ur aesthetic sense. I mean, not like there’s anything wrong with that, since it’s pleasing to the eyes. But still my guy.). The story is just so.... damn. “On doorstep” is the first of this person’s work I’ve read, and it’s the one that brought me here. I’ve gotta say bruh, this sensei really has a talent for writing ‘on the edge of your seat’ manga. Amazing. That was amazing. Wish there was more... damn.

Ummmm...... so..... the development.. where is it?? I mean, yh it was short but... I’ve read shorter stories that have a lot more going on and still have wayyy more character development and satisfying plot. But.... this was.. well... a very “yaoi” story if ya know what I mean (no plot just sex and scenes leading up to sex). ┐(´д‘)┌ it wasn’t bad tho I guess. Wasn’t the worst I’ve read, and it had a little substance to it. The art was also beautiful (it’s what caught my eye in the first place).

3.5 stars. Weird but ok lol

I don’t really wanna read this cuz it seems kinda painful and I don’t want that for my kokoro, but I just want to keep it in my list cuz according to the comments, this manga has components that I like and look for in (romance) stories: second couple (actually leave the relationship that’s not working out, the one the story started with, and move on, and not stay with/ go back to first lead because of some stupid and/or cliche reason), go against the regular; plot twist, fate doesn’t always lead to happiness, sometimes it’s better to follow your heart, character growth: hated them in the beginning, but they reflect on their actions and change for the better, a solid plot line, non-cliche: go against the “everything’s all rainbows and daisies” bullshit cliche that exists in wayyyy too many stories, etc. ....wow, just writing all this makes me want to read the manga. But. I don’t really wanna put myself through that. I’ll stick with the beautiful comment that led me to put this here in the first place
