ALisAnimeLover's manga / #Neighbours(4)

????? Why is this not bookmarked/marked as reading/read???????

Read this like 3 weeks ago but forgot all bout it to the point I had to reread it as a whole (tho I still remember chapters 3 and 4 (yes, 3n4 not 4n5) a bit when I got there) Ch 1-2: about coworkers, both with unrequited love towards the other. One gives hints that he likes the uke, uke is too dense to realize and instead offers a one night stand. Seme feels shy because of the sex, making uke feel bad. Smh. Uke might do better if he let himself get scouted since he's gonna get more salary. 3/10 Ch 3: host x host. At least seme ain't mean cuz of the "I'm mean cuz I like you and I'm tsundere" trope. He's just mean to be noticed by senpai. Cliche af, but okay. 5/10 Ch 4-5 neighbours. One's a chef. Both have the same bday, one got dumped by his gf, the other dumped his bf. Both seems to like each other way before, essentially committing emotional cheating. Tho all's well that ends well. Gf is possessive, and bf MIGHT be violent, so ye. Ch 5 interaction is cute and fluffy though. 6/10

I liked the first few chapters showing the culture difference, and how difficult it is to be alone in a country whose culture you're not familiar with. However, as the chapters went on, the romance became inorganic and just existed out of nowhere, thrown to you without you feeling anything about it. Like, "okay". The translations isn't the best either

Ch 1 is cute and simple. Ch 2 is annoying as hell. Neither of them wants to bottom. The MC just agrees to be the bottom because he likes his bf a lot. Yet his bf never even considers it and just manipulates the MC to stay being the bottom. Love is give and take, you know? So why is it just the MC who's willing to sacrifice his preferences?
