❀'s manga / #supernatural(302)

set in 1950s japan, one guy is a tengu/unidentified supernatural creature who does not age and the other guy is a reborn human. they used to know each other in their past lives. the now human used to be a monk and the now tengu used to be a child studying under him. now they meet again and sort through their feelings for each other. really beautiful storytelling all the way through. the tengu has always been watching the other guy, ever since he was born. saved him when he was 16 and leaving his mountain village to go start a new life in town. guy ended up just staying with the tengu while working a little in the town. some drama happens and stuff that makes the human dream of his past life together with the tengu. then there's some kind of notice that the place they live in is going to be developed so they move away deeper into the woods, forever away from the town. but they had some conflict about the tengu wanting the guy to live a normal life and the guy being like no i want to be with you i don't care about trying to be normal. and feeling bad that they will one day separate cuz the human will die while the tengu lives forever. such a good story even though i'm not into the supernatural stuff much.

kinda weird. like a ghost and a dentist who has past trauma cuz his bf died of some illness. and the dentist could still see his bf sleeping at home, but maybe it was him hallucinating. now this other ghost is here haunting him and saying things like wanting to kiss him and be with him. they kinda go on a journey to where the ex-bf was cremated and stuff, and the ghost has sex with him. then it's revealed the ghost is actually a child's spirit, so the actual age of the ghost guy is like 5? cuz he's in preschool lol. and it just ends with the child waking up from the car accident coma, so the ghost is gone, the spirit is back in the original body, and he meets the dentist again...

first 3 chapters are stories about pet people who work at a company where people can hire them and those stories are cute. last story was not cute. 1. guy hires a pet rabbit to save his failing company. he kinda gets jealous how competent the rabbit is, but in the end sees the rabbit is still has weaknesses and really respects his human master and stuff. cute. 2. writer and a cat he hires to replace his dead real cat. he needs a pet for inspiration. cat falls in love with him but writer says he'll give him back to the company when contract done. cat is sad but then writer says it's cuz he loves the cat too much and couldn't bear to see another pet die. ofc cat loves him back and reassures him. 3. stray dog type and rich young master. age gap of like 10-15 years probably. young master helps the dog out when he's young and dog is injured and in hiding. 10 years later the dog is back as the young master's hired tutor. slowly they bond cuz the young master always wanted a dog. dog is grateful to the young master for before and kisses the guy one day while he's sick. when the kid gets better the dog had quit. kid goes to find him and they walk off hand in hand. ok now this last story spans 2 chapters and it sucks. some bullshit about a guy who can make others beautiful or lucky in love if you touch him and have sex with him. he doesn't really let anyone do that but he falls in love with his teacher and wants to have sex with the teacher. teacher still in love with a past student but their relationship was discovered and student suicided. so the teacher and the saint guy have sex and teacher can see past student. almost died so his soul would go to past student. but saint saves the teacher and they are goign to be together?? but the ghost guy says he's waiting for teacher in after life and they'll be together later or when reincarnated?? just bullshit feels bad for saint.

only finished chap 3. first 3 chapters about long living cats who can become a human if the person they like likes their cat form back. first chap a cute couple but the guy is kinda abusive. 2nd story some sad shit about a cat who tried to become one but his human left him. third story again the first couple with the guy trying to educate his cat on human matters like what kisses mean. they're all interconnected.

boring shit. guy with supernatural seeing powers picks up a demon dog. demon fucks him for energy, in exchange he gets some life stories for his writing. somehow they fall in love through the fucking. some woman who stole the demon's energy before is in the guy's body. another being attacks him and he's saved by the woman's soul inside his body?? idk and then the woman tells him the demon's real name so he can give the demon powers back. when he wakes up, he says the name, demon is fine, and they still stay together. bullshit at every turn. so many badly clobbered together ideas and things that are just clobbered in to advance the plot but never talked about again. like his writing job, his dead mother, the weird kid at his house, how they even fell in love?!

ending sucked ass and honestly this manga should have been dropped after they got together. everything after that, the last 50 chapters or so were pure bullshit. started focusing on another couple and then the ending just didn't make any sense. added a bunch of random backstory and didn't explain it well like does the main lead know his friend is actually his uncle or not?! and did not resolve the weird relationship with his obsessive friend even though at the end the friend beat up the seme?! don't know what happened to author at the end but she fucked everything. base story is seme finds out his senpai is a vampire, then finds out they are rooming together at school. idk why but senpai suddenly starts annoying him and pranking him. somehow seme falls in love and then uke falls in love cuz the pranks were not his way or showing love but just random for fun shit?! and he has some obsessive friend he was going out with out of fear and pity that he didn't really explain well or break up with before jumping to seme and just bullshit.

main couple is tiger spirit guy who guides dead souls and reincarnation singer guy. the singer uke used to be a butterfly that followed the tiger seme but died trying to save the seme's friend. now the seme smells something on the uke that seems familiar and eventually they get together? even though uke liked his friend before? somehow they fall in love.....kinda just cuz seme is hot. anyway then the ending is trash and confusing like seme loses his powers to be human cuz he did bad thing? or cuz the gods were scared of how powerful he was getting? all very confusing. but apparently it was nothing even though the author tried to scare us by hinting seme lost memories like wtf.....but nothing and happily ever after i guess....... read the side stories cuz those are cute and pure smut and seems more interesting than this shit. art is very good but story not really and characters are not really my taste, especially not the uke in some alt rock band.

so the two main characters meet in this life after 10000 years ago, uke was killed before they could properly get married. seme is a celebrity actor. uke is some art student who just graduated. his gf cheats on him with with seme, but they meet and clash and switch bodies. they get to know each other through that and uke so quickly forgets his gf and falls for seme. they get into an accident together and that's why seme falls for uke back cuz he sees uke being submissive?? like saying good thing i was hurt instead of you. cuz seme had home problems and didn't feel love from people or something idk. anyway they switch back after the accident but some time later they switch again. they find out it's all cuz of this necklace uke got in australia. they go to find the necklace's pair that's in an australian museum and there's some drama with the past gf and past professor who loves uke and the seme's father, but all resolved pretty easily. they come out to the public but it's like fine with everyone lol. they all live happily ever after and uke's sister even marries seme's manager. there's an epilogue chapter showing them 2 years later still happy together and with a film about their experience and then an image showing them old together. cute and nice art. just didn't really like how fast they fell for each other. all the feelings kinda depended on their history together in past life, where uke saved seme's life even though they were in rival tribes.

SO GOOD SO CUTE!! guy with psychic dreams keeps visiting this cafe worker cuz he saw him getting in an accident and wants to prevent it. cafe worker seme gets the wrong idea and thinks uke is interested in him, and seme is interested back. they slowly get closer through interactions at the cafe. then the accident actually happens, uke couldn't prevent it, and uke feels so bad cuz seme got hurt trying to buy medicine for him. they talk at the hospital and confess!! a great confession scene, very refreshing. beautiful art throughout. and then they go out and there's some drama with another guy trying to just troll and get between them but uke's psychic dreams save that guy's grandma and all is cool cuz seme is also real scary when mad and makes that guy promise not to do anything else. also the seme's 2 friends get together as well. all the ways the couples get together are so unique! lately very tired of alcohol leading to confessions and though the side couple did have alcohol to facilitate the confession, the progression to feelings and relationship is very well presented. they do a dating trial for 1 month cuz seme has liked uke ~10 years and uke not sure. but uke suggests extending another month at the end of their first month haha and looks like all will be well with them too!

was going okay except uke went crazy in chap 21 and suddenly breaks up with the seme over a misunderstanding. then there's too much lgbt shit with the uke showing his sad bullied gay kid history from middle school and his senpai who dated him and threw him aside and is now acting evil towards him. and the weird thing is suddenly the seme's ability to hear thoughts goes away and it's just not explained why at all. maybe cuz he finally likes someone back? and too much other shit going on unrelated to the couple's romance. uke's childhood female friend likes him. another gay kid in class. seme and gay kid trying to get revenge on uke's senpai by creating false evidence of sexual assault. too much sjw crap. not enough romance and development of feelings. just bad shit overall.
