❀'s manga / #future progression(61)

ART IS HOT. STORY IS SWEET. IT'S THE BEST. this is a sequel to the oneshot in chapter 2 of dragless sex 1.

kind of confusing timeline, flipping back and forth between now and past (nolan time??) but cute couple. very simple (typical) snippets of their time together, mostly after getting together.

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.

what is there to say? a tearjerker every time. fucking masterpiece no matter how much time passes.

really weird the way they first had sex and neither of them acknowledged it as sex or even said anything about it afterwards??? but still a cute story

nursery school teacher and a writer he meets who wants to have sex for research lol. but then in the later chapters it gets real sweet and the writer respects his boundaries, waiting for him to accept a relationship. then we see kids from the pre-school get together. those kids are now step-brothers and are having sex lol no real plot there.

read to chapter 4. need updates, it's fucking amazing story, amazing characters, amazing author. read raws to the end and was a little disappointed. they just meet up again in nyc. finally it's been translated to english. this story started off soo strong and i guess all the waiting made me lose interest a little. not sure how i feel about them moving to nyc at the end, but it's pretty sweet. i don't really want to tag this future progression and exchanged rings lol cuz it just doesn't feel like it added those elements in a meaningful way. but finally this manga has come to a close lol......feels like it's been 5 years.

like 10 year age gap between high school student and this cooler older guy who is currently working in some recycle/pawn shop idk. kid breaks his glasses and works there to pay it back. they fall in love pretty quick and the rest of it is confirming feelings, getting to know each other, and moving on to sex. the sex is kinda weird cuz the uke is still in high school and that's a pretty big age gap lol.

brothers meet a salaryman at the park eating a huge onigiri. younger kid brother loves the food. older bro, 23, invites him over to show them how to make it. it turns into a weekly thing where they cook together at the brothers' house. they live with their dad, mom passed away last year. the salaryman is same age as older bro. salaryman dealing with some family issues cuz he was adopted by relatives after parents died and the siblings weren't nice to him. i guess the story is showing he gave those ppl up and found this new family instead? anyway, so they slowly get to know each other, but it's revealed the older bro met him 2 years ago and already kinda got interested. older bro confesses and the salaryman mulls it over a couple days until he goes back to their house to accept. he's so in love with the guy and the whole family that he's now scared to lose it if they break up. the family's dad gives him some good advice about how pain of separation is proof of love, so be grateful you feel the pain. anyway, they are cute and happy together, with a promise to soon live together. then we get to see a glimpse like 10 years later when the younger bro is in junior/high school and they are both salarymen. we don't really see the older bro cuz he is on a business trip until the last panel lol. anyway, they 3 all living together, kinda weird idk, and apparently dad is living there too. so basically the salaryman guy moved into their house?! lol but still cute story overall

strange story. big kinda uncomfortable age gap of 27 year old and high school first/second year. so the older guy works under the younger guy's dad. he only eats out, so he kinda asks to come over for dinner? unclear if the dad invited or he wanted to... first the son suspects the dad likes this guy, but is reassured that's not the case. but somehow he falls in love fast upon seeing the guy's pretty face. he is super open about his attraction and just starts kissing the guy all the time randomly. the guy doesn't really protest much, but does try to punch him at times. young guy says he doesn't really try to reject him. older guy looks like he gets mad at this implication. but then invites the kid to his house and suddenly kisses him?? says he just wanted to see reaction but looks like he had feelings cuz then after they make out and go shower together and almost have sex... then we just see a fast forward to when the younger guy graduates school and seems like their relationship is pretty stable and they fuck.
