lilithespark's manga / #shounen ai(266)

The story of a duo of two chaotic best friends and a closeted fujoshi who loves shipping them. Caught up to chapter 55.

Review: So I managed to stop being a weakling, and I read the whole thing. It really represents anxiety and insecurity to a T. I could relate to both Chun Sam and Mingyum. A couple had a weird age gap.... Not to mention the fact that Mingyum got groomed by a bis3xual man (demonizing bisexuals again). The art style didn’t allow for that many dark skinned people in the manhwa. I don’t think I saw any which put me off. I liked the story, though. Guess I like established relationship fluff. Side note: Left off on chapter 27. (I legit could not handle the kiss)

Side note: Left off on chapter chapter 14, page 21.

Sakurabashi Itsuki’s only hobby is listening to his favorite radio DJ, Yunokuchi Arata (otherwise known as “JUNO”) One day, they happen to cross paths at a local bookstore where Itsuki confesses his admiration. Comment: I liked the comic overall, but I didn’t really like the seme’s personality. And the *** scene? Oh my gods. It was kind of hard for me to read because the uke is so sweet and adorable. I couldn’t imagine him doing something like that. But again, he is 21 years old, and that fact won’t change no matter how much I fawn over him. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ It was steamy, though, so I’ll give it that. I like the mangaka’s art style and their stories. I’m binge-reading them right now. I wouldn’t read it again, but it was a nice read in general. It’s a light read. It’s okay, but I think it could have been better.

Kanta is an university student majoring in art. He’s always lived in poverty. As he returns home to his apartment, he learns the horrific truth that it was getting demolished. When the rich Touji overhears his conversation about it, he offers Kanta a living space in his house. When they start living together, Kanta discovers a side to Touji he hadn’t seen before. Review: They took it slow, and the plot is flavorful. The seme is so considerate, and the uke is fairly caring. Though there was steamy scenes, it didn’t really feel like s*** to me. It felt like lovers embracing each other. I really liked this aspect in the conclusion. All in all, this comic deserves the four stars.

Review: Misunderstanding after misunderstanding follows, and sometimes, I feel like misunderstandings are the only plot points that get the story moving. (T⌓T) The plot can be really frustrating at times, but the art is good. The storyline is okay, and I can keep up with it. It’s light, and I binge-read all of the chapter without it feeling like a chore. Comment: There is a legit love pentagon in here. It consists of his lover, his boss, his lover’s sister, and one of his lover’s close friend. I guess Ye Shen has no trouble bringing milkshakes to the yard? I was rooting for the male lead at first, but now that I have caught up, I’ll just say no one. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Until they grow up to be more emotionally mature to support and love someone other than themselves, no romance should be happening at all. Periodt. When I saw Ye Shen taking his stuff back from Lin Xiang Yao, I was like “wut”? They acted like an old married couple in a causal marital dispute. Like, who the hell has a bunch of stuff at their “friends with benefits” house? No one. That’s not benefits, that’s the whole arse contract if you get what I’m saying. The seme is so freaking irrational and thoughtless honestly. Not sure if we’re going to see any character development anytime soon. Side note: Ye Shen looks so cute in Lin’s white T-shirt. It’s oversized on him, and they are both boyfriend material. P.S: Left off on chapter 121.5.
