Mama Fujoushi's manga / #rich x poor(3)

Okay, so, I enjoyed it for the most part, but I don't get how if they were so in love, they spent a year apart like it's nothing? That makes NO sense to me. Like... why didn't the delinquent guy go with him to a different school? Why not help him with tutoring? Wtf is that all about? That didn't make any sense to me. And the second one with the model and businessman. I dunno. I thought early on they said he wasn't supposed to be close to other models (or he said himself he wasn't) then did it anyway? Huh? Confused. Yeah, this was too confusing for me, hence the 3* and not a reread.

I enjoyed the light stories. Not to hard on angst. The poor kid in the first chapter got on my nerves a bit, but he found his footing and admitted he messed up so that was good. The second with the butler and restaurant owner from the first story was sweet, but I didn't like the butler's dad. >.> He annoyed me. I get that they have a lot of duties, but dude went WAY overboard. Grounded? As an adult? Fuck that. /annoyed Third story (ch 5) was the childhood friends with the one who came back after being gone for a long time. I like that the one who was basically a shut-in except for school (and work) made the effort to go out to get his lover. The extra at the end with the first couple was really sweet and I loved how determined the (formerly) rich kid is. Sweet stories.

I really liked these two. I liked that Gin really gave thought to what he did wrong and why he reacted the way he did. I liked that they insisted on staying together and I liked at the end where Gin started thinking about doing more for himself as well as his family. I *didn't* like the older brother. I got that he cared about Ouji and that he wanted him to have a good life (the whole brother complex thing *sigh*). However, it pissed me off that he called "age" the reason he doesn't think they'll last and that somehow everyone finding out they're together would spell total disaster for everything. THAT, I'm really getting tired of. This would have been 5* if not for that.
