❀'s manga / #childhood friends(347)

kind of confusing at times from poor translations and need to read the prequels of other couples. but cute overall and felt pangs of misunderstanding angst. nice art.

cute height difference/complex story, but not very memorable... i'm sure i've read at least twice already and still can never remember what happens when i come back... i guess this is the third time and this is just super fluffy no conflict. enjoyable read, especially with the official good translations now. seme and uke both obviously like each other but not aware of their feelings. seme starts realizing he likes uke and wants to wait until he's taller than uke to confess. but he's only 165 while uke is 180+ he even tries going with a girl for a bit but realizes it's impossible and the girl was just annoying him. at this point uke realizes he likes seme cuz he's so lonely after hearing seme is spending time with a girl after school. so they confess to each other and ofc it's mutually accepted. then they keep going as before for a while though seme keeps wanting to have sex. until they have a date at disney and then stay at a hotel afterwards cuz both have been wanting the same thing. super sweet honestly. at the end they are having so much sex uke wonders if seme is only after him for his body. but then after 2 weeks of them not doing it, uke is pent up too lol and goes to seek out seme. seme is away but comes over after and then they do it and profess their love again.

guy takes care of sister's child but has no money and is helped out by his childhood friend who comes to live with them in exchange for food. they used to jerk off together and do that again, but now they're actually serious about liking each other too. hard to say how feelings developed, felt more like rekindling high school affections. also includes another story of creepy lab guy who loves collecting cell samples of another guy to look at under microscope and jerk off. didn't read it too closely.

might as well try to keep up with this since it looks like it won't end in another 20 years......

had a lot of potential (like bottom loves the innocent looking top and had a deviant sexual history before amnesia accident) but then did not go where i expected. writing is kind of bad, like things happening without logic and for no reason. they just made a simple accident super dramatic and it doesn't make sense why it needs to be such a big deal. also extra chapter showing the minor character bully falling in love with the top guy is weird and doesn't make sense since he hated him......

first story is childhood friends reuniting at work. second is childhood friends in high school and one is effeminate.

love triangle between two brothers and an omega relative. kind of dark, but has a really stereotypically yaoi story of powerful possessive seme and sad poor uke, so it's tolerable and the seme is very respectful of uke's feelings.

childhood friends separated after misunderstanding are reunited when they start living next to each other. hot and cute story

very messy and confusing at times, especially with 3 secondary characters, but i guess it's to make two of them into a couple, too. also weird how the uke kept flip flopping if he liked the guy or not. thought he finally decided but then no again... just not well written overall but cute. actually the last chapter is the best, showing after they are dating and a little look into their future and their fathers.

SO GOOD IN EVERY WAY. BRILLIANT STORYTELLING AND LOVABLE CHARACTERS. EVEN THEIR FIRST TIME WAS SOOO CUTE AND ADORABLE. MORE REALISTIC THAN BEING SEXY. LOVE IT SO SO MUCH!!
