❀'s manga / #rich(98)

17 year age gap between rich guy and the random salaryman he picks up. guy was overworked and fainted. confused how the rich kid falls in love so fast.... the older guy has a kid and is divorced, but this only shows up for half a chapter. another obstacle is the rich guy's butler who is pretty rude and hates the salaryman... and then there's a coworker who loves the salaryman and tells the kid he can't do shit by himself, he's just relying on parents' money so kid goes to get part time job. anyway very simple story but fine. there's 2 chapters dedicated to the butler and the student who he gets with. i skimmed it cuz i didn't like the butler guy. student is the rich guy's friend.

sensei and student. student is super rich and sensei has some trauma with dating rich kids. but the student eventually wins sensei over using non-monetary means like cleaning the class or working hard studying. they are barely together before another student sends an incriminating picture to the rest of the teachers. but they find the guy who did it and it's resolved easily cuz the guy likes one of the friends of the main student guy and the culprit convinces the other teachers it was photoshopped. then another teacher comes into the picture that was the guy who traumatized the teacher. in high school he only dated the teacher for entertainment and he was actually betting with other kids on how far they could make the teacher go. pretty messed up. teacher and student couple kinda hit a rough bit cuz the student tries to stay away to protect the teacher but the teacher is like no you don't need to cuz that other teacher can't do shit to us anyway. and in the end another peaceful resolution where the other teacher gives up his threats and stuff and says he feels bad for what he did but could not apologize so tried to make the teacher hate him....idk. but ok and we get some cute scenes of them sleeping over at sensei's house. and an extra short chapter showing the culprit evil guy from earlier trying to win over the student's friend.

dropped after chap 15. translations are so bad and the art is mediocre at best. story flow is too weird and just not interesting enough, especially not with the poor english translations. we're halfway through the story and still no certainty of feelings from either side though both has initiated a kiss and an alcohol encounter happened.

dropped after chap 9. too much gag comedy and not enough romance. so fake how feelings develop between them after just helping each other from bullies and getting free stuff or some shit. also uke is boring loser. seme is boring hot rich guy.

seriously one of the best manhwa i've ever read. solid plot throughout and a real tearjerker. uke has amnesia and i would have liked if he gained his memories back but i guess that's not realistic. so uke and seme used to date in high school and were super sweet, both running away from their rich families. one day they decide to escape for a date and set up a time, but uke never shows up. seme waits and is then super sad and angry, wanting to get revenge on uke abandoning him. but uke got into an accident that day and lost his memories, it's implied his older brother had a hand in causing it by pushing him and giving him a concussion or something earlier. anyway 10 years later or so, they meet again as part of seme's revenge to take over uke's family company. he pretends to get close to uke under false identity and makes it seem like uke was the one who trapped him and not the other way around. uke starts falling in love for real. seme also gets his feelings back and doesn't want revenge anymore. so he protects uke during the company takeover and at this time founds out about uke's amnesia and accident. so now he knows uke didn't abandon him that day and only didn't come cuz of accident. he goes to confess everything about their past and why he did what he did. uke doesn't remember past, but forgives him for the current stuff i guess. pretty easily lol. and that's basically it. they are just together then. signs of uke getting some smarts back, but no memories :/. super hot sex scenes, long and various interesting positions...

very interesting dynamic of step brothers. can't get enough of this forbidden love shit lol. basically both like each other but feels wrong about it. uke younger bro leaves the country and goes back to korea. 6 years later his older bro comes to find him and younger bro is super conflicted cuz he can't act like a good step bro. but turns out older bro didn't need him to so after uke confesses, it's sex and supposedly things will work out. nice art.

kinda not well written, but 4 stars for the effort of the story lol. so in uni uke is totally in love with seme for 3 years. but one day seme says some rude things to him and suddenly he just hates seme lol........... so never wants to see seme again. but during this time seme realizes he actually misses uke and wants him back. so he starts pursuing uke back but uke is totally stubborn and refuses to even consider a relationship now. i mean good for him, but this change is sooo drastic....... some drama with another guy liking uke and another guy liking seme. guy after uke goes off to military and he meets his own uke there but they don't get together yet. our uke currently has kidney failure and goes off to another country to get treated and get a transplant. seme trying to find him desperately, which is weird cuz he followed uke to the airport and knew uke's flight number......... well eventually seme finds out which country uke went to and which hospital. but uke moves hospitals and seme thinks it means uke wants to avoid him, so seme decides to withdraw the investigation. 5 years later. uke back in china. meets seme through some friends. seme gets injured cuz of uke and uke takes care of seme. then the guy after seme, still after all these years lol, hires some nasty thugs to kidnap uke and take lewd photos. uke escapes and seme finds him and beats up those thugs with bodyguards. guy after seme goes to jail i guess, he's gone. uke finally decides to give seme another chance. after all these years goddamn. i mean obviously he always had feelings so why was he being so stubborn........but anyway after that the guy after uke initially gets together with the uke he met in military training. and all seems good. they also exchange rings and kinda suggest will marry in another country.

kinda short and underdeveloped, but a good cute story overall. uke and seme used to know each other as kids and uke saved seme from bullies. they promised to meet again in future. uke had an accident in middle school and forgot all this. now they are adults working in entertainment. uke is singer, seme actor. but one day uke gets caught kissing a man and his career is kinda over. his company dresses him up as a girl and has her act in a commercial and start an acting career now lol. seme also working in that commercial. when they first meet seme is super cold to female uke, but uke lets slip something that only uke knew, so seme suspected that it was uke. then they are acting on set and seme hitting on uke pretty hard. i feel like the story got rushed from this point on. seme says uke should use his real identity to ask for favours, cuz uke was helping another female actress ask seme to teach her. seme gives uke his phone number. after that uke just casually texts seme saying meet up and i'll return your umbrella, something seme gave to male uke. so it basically confirmed for seme that fem-uke and uke are the same person i guess. and after that there's a little scandal with the other female actress stirring up media problems. but seme holds press conference and tells everyone he loves uke. then uke gets moved by it so he decides to confess back. he arranges a date with the seme to meet. on that day he gets kidnapped by his crazy manager who loves him cuz they apparently knew each other in middle school and uke helped him from bullies too lol. uke's ex who he was caught kissing also helped this plan, but he was only there to half help uke. the ex texted seme what happened and even helped uke escape out. seme storms the building where uke is captured and saves uke, who was collapsed outside. they promise in the hospital to always be together from then on the end.......CUTE BUT TOO RUSHED. WANTED TO SEE MORE DEVELOPMENT. chapters really got shorter near the end :/

amazing art and well thought out story. but tbh the cat and dog uke and seme characterizations are not my fav, especially not the cat type personality and long hair. uke 24, seme 20. uke is young master of rich family, seme is hair cutter in salon owned by his dad in the countryside. long haired uke hates being touched after he got touched inappropriately by his older bro when he was 14. older bro kidnapped him for 3 days in a warehouse and touched him and shit, what happened not explained in full. so uke gets sent to live in the countryside for 6 months by his grandfather to learn about the area and prove he can live well on his own. his family just bought the whole area's land and considering redevelopment. uke upset about living in this rundown place and writes a proposal to demolish this place. but slowly he starts to warm up to this place, especially with help from the seme. the seme is super friendly to him and reminds him of a black dog from uke's childhood. slowly uke gets to be ok with seme touching him, but nobody else. there's some drama about another guy liking seme and that makes uke jealous. but that other guy is getting pursued by another guy lol and eventually those 2 get together after a traumatic kidnapping incident. but along the way there's a lot of cute stuff like the 4 of them going to live on a farm for a while to help out. them working in the modelling industry a bit and seme getting a hair stylist job there part time. the final arc is uke's crazy older bro coming back into the picture. first the bro meets seme and seme isn't aware of their horrible history, so seme gets sucked in by the bro's kindness. uke sees them together and starts to question seme's motives and stuff. seme also didn't understand their bad past, so questioned by uke was being so silent about his bro. things were kinda stiff between them. then seme finds out about uke's old proposal to demolish his neighbourhood. the older bro revealed this to separate them. seme and uke get into a fight and seme tries to reach out to the older bro to reverse this decision. at their office seme sees the older bro giving presentation on how much he wants the demolition to go ahead. just as he's going inside to object, he sees uke objecting and proposing something much better. to keep the homes but upgrading the district and stuff. so investors decide to go with that plan and the neighbourhood is saved. seme and uke meet after and talk it out. everything seems good between them. some time later they are eating with the 2 other guys to celebrate the saved neighbourhood. uke gets kidnapped again on his way home, by his brother. seme works with uke's driver/butler and the other 2 guys to find uke and save him. again the older bro took uke to the same place and is touching him. older bro just hates uke so much cuz of jealousy. bro is deaf in one ear and treated like disabled, so he mad at uke's better treatment by parents. but really he is misdirecting his anger. anyway, so uke is saved and gets his hair cut better. the older bro kinda chopped it off ugly. story just ends with 4 friends spending time on the beach with fireworks and one last kiss between seme and uke. finally uke kinda admits that he likes seme back even though all this time it's pretty obvious and they're already shared a lot of intimate touches. well that's the end and idk if there are extras on the author's weibo but too lazy to search that up. well written story and would be rated best if not for the fact i did not like uke's character much and seme is too typically a dog character. just kinda boring stereotypical characters i guess, but in a way i don't like... cuz i at some point preferred the second couple...they are also pretty stereotypical, especially the cute fiesty uke, but i liked that seme a lot more, the persistent, kind, but also cold exterior type.

one of the dumbest, most poor quality manhuas i've ever read. uke has some sad past about being outed as gay in high school by the guy he liked. that guy took a video of him masturbating after threatening him and it got leaked. uke tried to commit suicide after that and moved away. not as an adult that guy from high school becomes his superior but uke pretends to not know him. at this time he also meets some guy working in a convenience store. that guy reminds him a lot of an old childhood friend. they get really friendly fast and start dating no problem. then there's just dumb drama about the guy from high school threatening him again. somehow the seme is not the son of a rich family and they move to his villa after he gets into a fight with the other guy. the other guy kidnaps uke again and tries to rape him. he is saved by seme and family but uke tries to commit suicide again. then he looks at his wrist with the matching tattoo he has with seme over his past self harm scars and decides to live on. BULLSHIT DUMBFUCKERY EVERYWHERE. uke so dumb and weak and useless. his dream suddenly becomes to open a flower shop in the seaside town where seme's villa is. seme then becomes ceo of his dad's company and they live happily ever after. so stupid wtf. really generic characterizations and just a bunch of crap thrown together.
