well shit's manga / #GOOD FOR THEM!(250)

YEAHHHHHHHHH THIS EATS SO HARD love love love the dynamic, the anatomy in the sex scenes goes so hard oh my god im sold the moment i saw chaejun nuzzle his nose with seunghyun AHHHHHHHHH this is gonna be such a fun lighthearted read

I LOVEEEEEEE this story so much oh my god its pure adorable fluff, it feels so fresh despite being the usual abo setting, i think its because of the rarity of secondary genders so much so that even when jinhwan turned out to be an alpha, he doesnt make it a big deal and even clarified that he got a vasectomy LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME HOW MANY MLS DO THAT!! NONE NADA EXACTLY?!!? he rlly said we having creampies worry free babyyy RAHHH i love him…. And i love the author for just dropping that in casually as a way of contraception thats so rare to see in fiction, especially an abo ml to say that AHHHHH the way he jumped into top 10 best mls for me instantly lol thats so insanely attractive of him!!!!!!!!!! A Sexy confident flirt and a puppy golden retriever to boot??! Author!!! I SEE UR GAME LOUD AND CLEAR BC ME TOO!!!!! Love love love the romantic chemistry and progression doha and jinhwan had. Usually when couples get together early in the story it’d automatically be a snooze fest but this one took me by surprise!!!!!! I loveeeee how sweet and timid doha is in navigating a healthy relationship and how supportive and adoring jinhwan is in helping him along the way, its soooo adorably sweet and vanilla that doesnt feel too textbooky. Especially with the way the author handled their past traumas. Their dialogue and communication shines a lot in those scenes, its soooo endearing TTT their little flirty banters is the cherry on top i swear bc it just flows so naturallt between them. I LOVE when characters does a big loud smooch over the phone, its so rare that whenever it happens i cheer so loudly ITS SO CUTE AND REAL!!!! Dont get me started with the gorgeous anatomy holy fucking shit???? The way the artist depicted their bodies interacting with each other during the sex scene and other intimate moments was fucking amazing. Hands HANDS THE HAND PLACEMENTS!!!!!!!!!!! immediately shot this story up to magnum opus bc of how natural the body movement is in each scene. And with the dialogue??? Perfection. I dont fucking care if we get zero plot and just have slice of life stories of these two being adorably in love i will fucking eat it bc the visual treat im seeing rn is INSANE…. love how author draws expressions as well, sure jinhwans mug is intense in some scenes but idk i find it so fresh and fun!!!! The way the characters are placed and posed in certain panels are so fresh too!! Jinhwan backing his car into the parking space as doha talks and fiddles with the cake box, jinhwan massaging doha’s foot, the constant hand holding, jinhwan teasing and flirting with doha by not letting him hold the cake box, all these acts of intimacy are so naturally subtle and it hits so hard when u notice it AHHHHH artist you absolute madlad…… so much care and detail is being put into consideration in the storyboarding man how could u Not love it????? Its so sweet and doha’s character is just So fucking adorable and jinhwan is absolutely smitten!!!! The chapters with sex are a lot, sure but it doesnt feel mindless or redundant to me, mainly because of how good the anatomy and dialogue are, i cant get over it give me more of those scenes bc holy shit does the artist know how to draw them!!!! The art style is so so mature and refined!!!!! ITS FUCKING GOOD!!!! I LOVE THIS STORY WAY TOO MUCHHHHHHHHH instant magnum opus for me idc LMAO its vanilla done right!!!

mc’s narration really sets the tone of the story to be both sweet and poignant. the memories we’re seeing from his time in middle school and his first love experience with ml flows like a journal/diary entry. Its so personal and naive and earnest all at the same time, its soooo endearing. You just know with all the shit mc’s going through, author is setting up a good stage of angst and heart break for that eventual separation im nervous to see what lead to mc’s insomnia and ptsd,,, but seeing how volatile his relationship with his dad is, i can kinda expect the direction. Angst buildup aside, the way mc and ml interact in their fresh years of middle school is so adorable, its so clear that ml has a crush on him too the message exchanges, the sweets, the little trinkets,,, oh the nostalgia of first love <3 im really digging this so far, cant wait to binge this after marinating :3c

Has the perfect nostalgia of old school yaoi with a modern twist to it; a very endearing and earnest amount of communication that left me pleasantly surprised! I love age gap relationships where the younger one is more emotionally apt than the older one LOL. Aoi setting things straight by explaining his background and why it’ll take him longer to understand certain things and asking takane go be patient with him…… oh tears….. and double it with takane apologising aoi for being the reason why he felt embarassed in the first place after that document/office ordeal…. Its so refreshing and touching i actually shed a few tears ;-; I just adore that scene so much, takane insisting aoi to not apologise bc it isnt his fault…. Its so rare to see such a genuine apology in bl ??????? Immediately left a mark on me bc despite the cliche fake dating for money premise, the sensitivity and writing of the characters made them feel so down to earth and real that i genuinely felt bad for aoi and touched that takane is taking steps in being more emotionally open and sensitive in his interactions with aoi… just… TTTT its so good…. author rlly took all the things that we love in old school bl and rehash it with modern standards making it soo fresh and entirely its own, the art style especially! I was rlly skeptic of it at first but god im so happy to be wrong! The commentary on class differences between aoi and takane was well done as well. Both of them having gone through their own difficulties and acknowledging both parties’ efforts in helping the other AHHHH i love it!!!!!!! I especially love aoi’s slow budding feelings + professionalism in his role. All the communication… its just such a joy to read omg…. Author i will lay my life out for u im so fucking serious. I rlly rlly hope we get an anime adaptation or jbl from this, the potential is there!! Its so refreshing!!!! Its so fun!!! While still maintaining the old school bl essence that we all love and adore!!!! Please future adaptations and physical eng copies soon !!!!!!!

Theyre so fucking cute oh my god, im so happy its a lighthearted sweet enjoyable read, i was at the edge of my seat worried something is gonna happen to them but im glad that the couple is so strong and supportive with eachother :’) the constant affirmations and communication is so endearing too AHHHH they love each other so much…. Like its completely believable that theyre an established couple bc of how they settled their problems AHH i love it, Its such a fun secret relationship showbiz trope that i rlly wouldnt mind getting more of them

Very fun and lighthearted read!!!! I love love love mc’s character especially, very sensual and professional and just very likable in general. Hes such a babe omg. Some commenters were yapping at how he sucks but I genuinely dont see anything wrong with him? Hes just a guy who went thru the angsty gay rite of passage of falling for a straight guy and is Traumatised and well dont we all go through that LMAO. I rlly think its just the writing that did a disservice to his character. Sure, his whole in-denial to being attracted at ml bc ml is “straight” reasoning was starting to feel rlly redundant by vol2. But still it wasnt anything too bad it was rlly fun for me! There is this commenter’s analysis on mc’s character that i rlly rlly agree though that captures the overall experience of the story; mc is introduced as a character that knows what he wants, is professional and kind/polite/friendly. And sadly some viewed this as an invitation to pursue him for something more when clearly he has clarified that it isnt anything like that. Things are going well and dandy UNTIL mc’s friend started victim blaming him for the whole harassment ordeal. Its like blaming a girl for being kind to a guy bc that equals to flirting when its clearly not??? So yeah i felt a bit icky and pissed that the friend acted that way. Left a bitter feeling in my mouth bc the author presented it in a way as if its mc’s fault when it totally isnt?? And this leads to another gripe; its the way the narrative didnt consistently follow the main reason Why mc is so adverse to wanting to pursue anything with ml beyond sex which is straight guys = heartbreak bc of his past experience in high school. didnt ml said multiple times that he’ll never fall for a guy and how hes just in it for the sex and kept on insisting it even when mc wanted to put some distance between them. I think that justifies mc’s back and forth conflicting feelings for ml pretty well, like shit what are we? Casual by chappell roan? its completely valid for mc to be confused and worried at where their relationship is heading, especially with the ml insisting he wouldnt fall for a guy. Like DUH ofc mc doesnt wanna fuck with that??? so i dont understand why the author, again, presented it in a way that makes it seem like its mc’s fault for pushing the ml away under the reason that hes “straight” ? Like ?? Yes?? Thats exactly the conflict at hand here LMAO. Ml has no right to go all “im tired of your “hes straight” bs!!” at mc bc dawg u started it See, author did mc dirty bc even to me his “oh no hes straight” was starting to feel redundant and irrational WHEN THATS WHAT THE ML HAS BEEN SPROUTING SINCE THE BEGINNING It would have been a better resolution if ml clarified that part in his confession bc !! cmon guys; bisexuality exists author can just make ml have a bi awakening, its completely fine lmao. HELL, it wouldve solved this problem and tied the ends of the inconsistency up. its these details and mc’s character development/reasoning not being fully explored and thought out that makes some scenes frustrating bc mc rlly truly did nothing wrong but oh well im just crashing out bc the more i think about mc’s character/reasoning the more jarring the narrative the author set around him is lmao. Weird writing but oh well it was still a rlly fun and enjoyable read eitherway. The jarringness wasnt too bad to the point it put me off from reading the story. Its just that commenter’s analysis on the mc that had me realising some things werent adding up lol. I rlly enjoyed the story in general and didnt mind brushing these flaws under the rug, still a solid 9/10! i rlly love the cozy, homey restaurant setting where their relationship developed. Ml’s reasoning on wanting to cook for mc, his work becoming a labor of love for mc is rlly sweet i love it so much. And mc being so earnest and professional despite everything makes their push and pull sexual/romantic tension rlly fun to read too. Love how ml’s unabashedly drowning himself in vinegar and isnt afraid to admit it LMAO and mc being so adorably cock drunk every time is so good too, hes so sexy!! Serving devastating amount of cunt with that face card WHEW. And the sake expert flair mc has doubles it!!!! the old man kiyo is such a darling too i love how supportive he is of the main couple. Overall with and without the things i ranted, its still a solid fun read!!!! Rlly love the romantic chemistry and the theme (food as a sign of love) in here hehe def wouldnt mind just reading cute slice of life chapters of them living a domestic life while serving customers :’)

OH NATORIIIIIIIII MY SHAYLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MY BEAUTIFUL SWEET EARNEST GOOD HEARTED PUPPY YOU ARE EVERYTHING TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE One of bl’s magnum opuses easily just by how everythinf (EVERYTHING) is written in here i have no notes everything i just so so perfect. I adore rui’s character, hes so professional and considerate i fell in love with how his character is written in conjuction to his profession; a shibari artist and how much he loves his work and the care he puts in tying up his clients. Its so good ? Like considering his job, author didnt make it overly sexualised (which is fine either way) and instead made the approach to it so refreshing and eye opening!!! Feel like his job doesnt add any horny points into the story, just a testament to his dedication and kind heart in his character which i fucking adore??? And natori OH MY GODDDD LOVE OF MY LIFE natori my sweetest baby my earnest eyed gentle hearted beautiful puppy i wanna cry i completely understand rui’s confession when he said he loves natori so much to the point of crying like girl me too the confession scene from either of them is sooooo fucking good, the tears, the yearning, the bittersweet heartbreak at how natori doesnt see any worth in himself that could be loved and rui’s insistence that there issss and even if its a little bit he hopes natori sees it in his heart to love himself too GODDDDDDDDDDD I WANNA FUCKING YELL its all so tender and sweet and fragile and romantic. So so so romantic, im still reeling at how much natori adores rui and is even willing to bring his feelings to his grave oh my god………. These two im so happy at how rui’s character is written in response to natori’s low self esteem, hes such a real ride or die for that man (AS HE DESERVES) it makes me so happy to see natori showered with so much love and affirmation oh my godddddd The shibari play is rlly just a bonus in all of this its so sweet and romantic, it doesnt feel kinky (?) at all (again which is fine either way) it just feels so grounding and fulfilling for both parties i just enjoyed seeing them relish in their love for each other so much….. and that first meeting natori and rui had…. Natori barkinf and giving rui his paw….. AOHHHHHHHGHHH MY SHAYLAAAAAAAAAA THATS ALL I KEEP SAYING I JUST WAIL AT HOW SWEET AND PRECIOUS NATORI IS MY SWEET EARNEST SUBMISSIVE PUPPY TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALSO PLEASE HIS MR DARCY LEVEL CONFESSION AT THE END rui’s “my love for you wouldnt lose to your love for me” and natori’s “i pine for you, today tomorrow and forever” OH MY GODD I WANT TO YELL I WANT TO CRY THATS SO !! THATS ROMANCE!!! THATS FUCKING ROMANCE!??!? Genuinely felt my brain and body melt…. Such a refreshing and pure confession like baby thats a proposal atp oh my god im genuinely obsessed god i want to cry we need more mls to say new and fresh ways of declaring their love and yearning pls god its the intimacy, the bliss in confessing your love after all the chaos; knowing that this love is wholly yours to cherish and keep, unabashedly. Oh author this is so romantic God i cant do this i rlly need multiple volumes of this like that brief little petplay undertones they have has me biting the walls (good boy/puppy/doggy/kennel OHHH rui the dom bottom u are/ the way natori also relishes in it by responding/admitting to it so cutely too GODDDD the doggo imagery with his wagging tail MY SHAYLAA) rui is just so good to natori and natori is just flourishing so sweetly under all that love and care how could i Not wish to see more of them like the whole entire yakuza premise is so well done and i adore how rui is familiar with their business and understood natori’s choice in staying there under the new boss so he could pay him back. I love how rui didnt turn into this cliche naive mary sue of “but no u cant, repent and go to the light!!!” Bullshit and accepted/respected natori’s choice bc thats his step to healing. Just so so supportive and considerate to natori’s tune. SWOONSSSS its just so good and the way natori the ever so sweet and submissive baby earnestly and shyly reaches for more of rui’s love……. And once their love is established u can see glimpses of him being shameless with it AHH the sweet pathetic little sorries as he obliterates rui UWAHHHH UWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH INJECT IT INTO MY VEINS PLEASE PLEASEEEEE YELLS BASHES MY HEAD GODDDDDD author u have created a masterpiece that others in the bdsm/shibari department wishes they couldve done oh my god……. Such a perfect bdsm/shibari bl with an equally perfect couple dynamic. So sweet so devoted so pure so earnest and most of all so romantic every step of the way. The pacing is perfect, the characters and conflict are beautifully written, and the romance godd the romantic progression has me swooning in each chapter the more their love and devotion is revealed AHH just 10/10s in everything. I adore natori’s character design too a big buff physique with the most gentlest sweetest eyes and demeanor GOOD LAWD what a darling babe, im so in love, oh to be rui AHHHH its just fucking Peak rlly. This story is rlly made for me my god author i cant thank u enough. I genuinely need physical copies of this PLEASE god i beg u give me more volumes

author crafted all the tropes and kinks in the lab specifically for me oh my god im frothing at the mouth at how good this is holy shit??????? The premise started off as the usual supposed enemies to lovers office romance but then u add in ml’s constant growing misunderstanding with mc’s professionalism and friendly customer service attitude + mc’s closeted sexuality and u get one hell of a good fawking time I LOVE ITTTTTTTTT its hilarious dramatic angst from sihyun’s side while the angst from joohwan’s closeted sexuality hurts like a punch to the gut such polarising feelings its a whole roller coaster LMAO. I just adore the couple dynamic in here especially sihyun’s affronted/cheated mistress situation going on in his head LMAO he’s such a tsun babe and seeing him create insane levels of misunderstanding and getting hurt by it fills me with so much joy such an adorable bulliable pitiful wife ml who just wants to get choked and dick stepped on…. My babie……….. can def see the angst for him picking up more seriously especially when he kept seeing himself as his mother who still clung onto his cheating dad’s shadow. Like AHHHHH that panel in ch28 where he gazes down silently and almost dejectedly at joohwan’s clarification (ring) and accepts it as long as he gets to stay with him… him looking hurt everytime he thinks joohwan is sighing at him… AHHHHH MY SHAYLA……. Also peeped his insanity with how he’d rather joohwan Have evidence to threat with him bc clearly that’d be a way to bind him to joohwan GODDD My sweet beautiful wife with a mental disorder i love u so much….. hes jsut grasping on straws thinking this is all he could ever amount to in joohwans life AHHHHHH my baby my wife my sweet pookie wookums the most absolute perfect submissive maso teary eyed kinky ml ive ever seen AND HEWLO THE TONGUE PIERCING???? author truly cooked him with the finest ingredients i owe author my life my GAWDDDDD what a babe fr i can go on and on about him forever. Also im OBSESSED with how author wrote joohwan’s character too bc that professionalism is off the charts like my boy has his entire foot down in the consultant business. Didnt waver at any of sihyun’s slick comments. That A1 customer service silver tongue winning hearts everywhere!!!!!! Adaptable in any setting!!! Unknowingly a man of charms and charisma!!!!! Just all smiles and sweet talk and immediately has sihyun melt into a putty i love joohwan BADDDD i love how hes so smooth with his talking too, such an enjoyable mc seriously. Like this man has crazy fucking game does even know that LMAO, he can easily pull any guy if he puts his mind to it its just a shame that he has gorilla glued the hinges of his fucking sexuality closet and yknow what in a way i get it His interactions with sihyun is just the cherry on top bc hes rlly just wrangling a tsun little cat with nothing but charm and flirt talk and sihyun’s just misunderstanding everything HDBDB like imagine your game too smooth someones first Immediate thought of u talking with another person is “Oh this MANWHORE!!!” theyre on completely different pages of different books its making me crydhhddb sending sihyun all my prayers bc WHEWDHBDBD its gonna be a while to get thru that noggin of his. i love them so much their dynamic is so addicting and fun GODDDD author nailed it downnnnnnnn!!!!!!! The fact joohwan doesnt have any recollection of their first make out sesh is hilarious and also being the igniter of sihyun’s choking kink??? Amazing. Obsessed crazy LOVE the increasing misunderstandings and the angst and drama its gonna eventually spill LMAO its my favourite kind of romcom borderline angsty misunderstanding flavour that i adoreee. Also the art style and anatomy? The facial expressions? The sex scenes????? The sexual tension?? “Donf worry i’ll be careful not to get you pregnant” THE DIRTY TALK HELLO???? THE SHAMELESS KINKS?????? Everything is just peak 10/10 my GAWD what a great adaptation, this is rlly my favourite story ever for this year god give me 20 more of these PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE IM HONEST TO GOD OBSESSED
