Honestly, big Sasaki and Miyano vibes.
It's that onesided crush on someone who never even considered being with someone of the same gender, mixed with that school life manga feel.
It is still ongoing, but so far, a precious bl that gently nudge the edges of homophobia.
Sasaki and Miyano is just straight up goals. Everyone deserves a love like that.
So cute and sweet I think I got cavities from reading.
I loved the communication aspect as well as the consent focus even after they confessed. Just, a fun little journey into a game of love.
Got the 3 C's! And I loved the realistic portrayal of how the internet has affected us sexually and socially when it comes to meeting people. Only thing I could have wished for is for the story to be longer, and maybe some more moments of Chiitan being a suave, cool guy. Heh.
This is one of the first true 'age gap' stories I have read. Usually they tend to be involve odd power-dynamics which makes me feel a bit... Off... But this was so pure. And they powered through it with communication! I adore! Also, refreshing to see a couple that aren't following stereotypes. Yaay!
TW: some forceful acts in the beginning, playing along both sides of the border of dubcon, and a brief blackmail plot makes me hesitant to put this in my 3C's.
It does have cuteness and communication, as well as clear consent later on, though. Plus, the silence seems very on point for some of the stupid things we do in our youths before we know better. Hopefully by reading, others can learn through others experience rather than living through it . Probably, optimistic and naive thinking
NOTE: This is smut. It is very clearly eromanga. This is BDSM.
But it is the closest I have seen to pleasure dom rep, and it's just amazing.
The couple is pretty kinky, so it might not be for everyone, but the communication alone makes this amazing..
More pleasure kinksters please ^^.
Honestly, in terms of my 3 C's this scores pretty high. I do love me some communication after all. The sex part felt a bit rushed, but also very authentic if you consider raging hormones in general. Could possibly be expanded to make the characters a bit more 3D, but it is cute as it is too...
Very cute, consensual and communicative short story.
Note: this is very NSFW. But I enjoyed how it was executed.
