ALisAnimeLover's manga / #no communication(7)

A story about a couple who does not communicate well. The man feels like he's only feeding off the woman and that she only stays in the relationship to get back what she gave the man. But in the end, it's revealed that it's not the case and they do love each other. Although the fact that this has to be explained by the third party is kinda annoying yet strikes to the heart - she's the third party but she understood both sides better than they did themselves. The third party is pretty honest though. "I liked you because you're taken". Still a bitch tbh.

I'm on the cheater's side here tbh. Uke is toxic. I'm glad they worked it out in the end, but they should really start communicating better. The seme obviously dislikes how the uke treats him. The uke has this complex where he wants to see the seme like him no matter what he does to him. Bruh, get a therapy.

Ch 4 pg 27 ️️Warning: child sex/abuse in chapter 5 (unrelated one-shot)️️ Okay, let me just clarify. STOP HATING ON THE DEITY. First, he's a deity with no sense of age. Second, THEY WERE FORCED TO. The deity didn't have sex with him predatorily. The deity's power relied on sex and the people forces the deity to have sex with any sacrifice, and he's effing weak to fight back (for reasons unknown); and the child would die without communion (sex) with the deity because he wouldn't withstand the powers of the seal. I won't deny that the story had child rape, but the deity isn't a pedo, and the blame shouldn't be put on him. It should be put on the people who forced them. Rape isn't black and white y'all. It's possible that both sides are offenders and victims (e.g. drunk sex where both didn't consent because they're drunk), it's possible that both sides are victims and the offender is a third party (though ofc in legal terms, that person wouldn't be referred to as the rapist per se; and technically both sides are also offenders, though the major offender is the third party). Also, clarification on terms: Pedophile: attracted to the young. The deity doesn't have any sense of age, nor was he attracted to the kid per se. Grooming: raising up the kid while mentally manipulating him to lower his defense towards you. No, the deity didn't do anything like that (if he had the intention to groom someone, he'd have groom at least one predecessor and he'd be free years ago ffs). Akari was portrayed as a kid to show how cruel the townsmen were. Portraying him as an adult wouldn't change the fact that his and the deity's feelings aren't a result of a consensual relationship because they were forced to be on that relationship.

Ch 1-2, 6-7: almost dropped after ch 1. I don't like how the seme is threatening the uke just to have his way. Skimmed through 6-7 to look for the side couple, lol. 0/10 Ch 7: side couple. I'm more interested in the pun, haha. Too short to judge, honestly. Ch 3-5: I'm pretty sure I read this story separately here in mangago. Weird. Cute story. I love the emphasis that communication is needed between a couple. 9/10 Average: 4.5/10

Ch 1-2.5: story about childhood friends who hate each other but got married. Sweet! I love the subtle love-hate relationship where action speaks louder than words! Though I'm mildly disturbed by the seme tweeting that the uke is cheating - although the fans support them so I assume they know the context afterwards. Ch 3-6: A story about the bartender and his step-brother who's a famous actor with whom he had a heavily toxic relationship with when they were young. They were feeling the same way towards each other, however, they didn't talk about it, hence the story. I like how they (especially the seme, since he seems to be an entitled asshole when he was young) matured nicely and came back together well.

As cute as this is, their relationship is really messy - understandable for their age, but they should at least improve??? In chapter 2, they almost broke up because of the seme being cold towards the uke. Then the uke just gave up. The whole class had to help for them to make up, then it turns out the seme is a "tsundere". I'd expect an improvement in their relationship, but nooo. In chapter 4, the seme decides to keep another secret from the uke, and the uke just accepts it without a fight. Again, the whole class had to help. Btw, bruh, that's technically cheating. And gurl, accept your rejection. The fact that you weren't able to "convince" him to go out with you when he said he wasn't prepared to date anyone already means you have no chance.

Ch 1-3: title story. Too fast too furious. It is cute though. Ch 4: unrelated one-shot. Ngl, this annoyed the shit out of me. Friends who became sex friends with absolutely zero communication. They're not even sex friends with an agreement. They just do it when the seme wants to, making the uke seem like a convenient cumdump. Luckily for him, the uke knows him long enough to understand his feelings and is just waiting for confirmation about their vague relationship. The boss was just there to spark an argument between the two and finally talk.
