ALisAnimeLover's manga / #rivals(26)

1-2) Koko kara Dousuru? (What Do We Do from Here?) - 7/10 Asanuma, president of the go club, has a friendly rivalry with Shiraki, vice president of the go club at another school. How will Asanuma react when he learns that Shiraki already has his eyes set on the future? I love the pacing, but it's quite bland. Plain and simple. 3) Kore mo Dousuru? (What Do We Do with This Too?) - 10/10 An extra for the previous story. How will Asanuma handle the obstacle in their relationship called "bad fashion"? A perfect extra dealing with Shiraki's mom's bad fashion style -especially with how invasive it is. 4) Zutto Matteita (I've Always Been Waiting) - 6.5/10 Convenience store clerk x Customer. Riku, a convenience store clerk, has a habit of biting his nails, leaving his nails all-rugged. Takatou, a regular customer, notices this, and starts a unique interaction between a clerk and a customer. The characters were well fleshed out for a one shot, although the love between them weren't quite as fleshed out. Could I just say I hate the senpai? 5) Utsukushii Hibi wo (Beautiful Days) - 5/10 Chiaki, after turning 18, learns that he is to serve as the Inugami's (Touga) wife. What will happen to the two of them? Perhaps a lot. But nothing much happens in the story. The plot seems to be a pilot chapter, given that it was hinted that Chiaki had already met Touga when he was young although it was never actually revealed what happened. Plus, the story ends with Chiaki still uncertain with his feelings, while Touga is willing to wait. This type of plot is overused, although the execution of the story (the pace and everything) makes up for it. 6) Subarashii Sekai (Splendid World) - 6/10 In a world where glasses are no longer solely for eyesight correction, are the glasses really worth it? It has a bit of philosophy given the theme of the story, which is a huge plus for me. Plus, the plot is perfect for a one shot. On the other hand, I dislike how it was addressed in the story that it's weird to suddenly ask out someone you've just met, yet it still ended with a kiss. Seems contradictory imo.

OMG, HE'S SO PROUD OF HIS BOYFRIEND OMG. CUTE. I kinda wish he remained shorter than senpai though =3=

rape

This actually made me cry a bit.

CW: rape in ch 5. Sleep sex in ch 5.5 Ch 1-2: Titular story. A guy gets hit by a ball and wakes up in a parallel world during sex... with his rival. At the end, it's implied that the parallel world is simply the near future :D A bit cringey at some point 7/10. The extra was... Rapey tho Ch 3: Uke has a cute face but low voice, people kept bothering him about it, so he got insecure. Seme, who has a voice fetish, finds out and becomes interested in uke. Too fast too furious. 3/10 Ch 4: Cliche story of MC's best friend finding love, and the MC swearing to be a supportive friend, then said best friend finally realizes his feelings for the MC, the end. Cute. 6/10 Ch 5: YES. A chubby character, finally! Oh but damn. It's RAPE. Don't you shit with me that it's not rape because he's a bodyguard and stronger than the seme. Strength disappears when you're assaulted unless you're able to maintain your calm and fight back properly. You guys need some lecture on sex, sexual harassment and rape. 0/10 Vol 2 ch 1-4 and 5.5 are about the main couple and I like the direction the story went. Full isekai mode with smut. Though it's a bit too much smut ig - then again that's the main thing about this manga. Banging in a parallel world, haha. Ngl ch 4 was hot. Ch 5 is about the chubby guy and his rapist, so I just skipped it

This was so cute I love how Reo is supportive of them. I actually want to see more of Reo and Arata's interactions afterwards. Even just as extras!
