❀'s manga / #childhood friends(347)

two pairs of twins get together. one of them has a son who also gets a story with his childhood friend. nice art, old school yaoi stories of little plot and much fluff.

first is cousins getting together. older rough looking guy and younger princely guy. second is rough architect and ex-delinquent construction worker.

the seme is a terrible character, which makes the uke unlikable by extension for loving him so much. how can he accept the seme getting girlfriends while fucking him on the side? the seme is cheating and the uke is aiding in that without feeling anything. both are kind of shits. also the seme is literally expressionless and dumb for not realizing uke and his own feelings. not even a cute dumb, just literally unbelievably dumb and only in fiction would this exist. saved by the art that's good but not really my style.

i didn't really get the whole deal with the going into space thing. it was like added for depth to characters and plot, but not developed enough to really give anything. a little misunderstanding angst. fatty and super elite guy met in high school. then after some misunderstanding, fatty left the school. now meeting again at work where the elite is his company's president. elite guy likes him but he has trouble believing due to the past misunderstanding

only read chap 3.5, about high school friends 12 years later and one has a child while the other is taking care of nephew

kind of ambiguous cuz the uke never confesses back?? and somehow he is able to move on pretty fast from his previous decade long crush...

weird why they had to put in all that rape stuff when they love each other... art was not my style. too much black and white whispy lines.

spinoff of the author's completed series. involving the mc's brother, even though this brother only makes one appearance in that story's christmas portion. one guy jerked another off in junior high cuz he said he didn't now how to cum. guy who jerked other off starts to avoid other. now they are adults and commonly jerking each other off. slowly beginning to expand into something else cuz seme confesses.

first story about delinquents who used to be childhood friends. one expressionless guy and other dummy who didn't understand other guy's feelings. cute! second story about fake one night stand and them getting to know each other afterwards and actually having a relationship. kind of kinky, but not enough sex scenes to really say the story is about that.

really weird and fast to jump into relationship after rape that uke didn't like but then accepted?! then weird plot about being outed and dealing with that. felt very tacked on.
