NI-KA-CHUUUUUUUUUU's manga / #insecure uke(84)

Realistic portrayal of an abusive relationship. My issue is that this manga wants to deliver a heavy story and has all the elements that could make it one but theres something missing that doesn't allow me to have a personal connection with the characters. Similar issue I had with "Renai-rubi" (though its story is better in my opinion). Might be an issue with mangaka but her later stories have less of this issue.

Aw this one was quite sad but sweet Reread: BUHUHUHUHU OH THE TEARS. Reread 2024: lol nah this was stupid

I loved this just like I love most of this mangaka's work but idk the ending as well as the couple's relationship didn't feel completely satisfying to me.

I think I'm in love! Gahhhhh my fucking heart I can't take this onesideness!!!! It hurts so much but feels so good (ugggh I'm such an emotional masochist). My two favorite yaoi tropes: the adorable tsundere uke who is actually very innocent and shy and falls in love first and the bully asshole seme who will eventually realize what a fucker he is and that the uke is perfect. This manga really knows how to tug the heart strings.

3.5 Dammit why you give me no satisfying ending for the first story!

3.75 I like the concept of the first one (uke being insecure and thinking he's boring) but it wasn't quite up there. The last chapter/extra =

4.75 OH MY GOD THIS IS SO ADORABLE. THE UKE = HEARTBREAK. GAHHHHHHH (only reason it's not a favorite: I need more chapters to satisfy me)
