NI-KA-CHUUUUUUUUUU's manga / #love triangle(38)

First story particularly vol 1. Holy fuck where have you been all my life?!?!?! Fluff and smut best balanced combo in yaoi one could ask for!!!!! Veeeeery shoujo but don't care. Issue: the amount of misunderstandings and lack of trust. This is so fucking girly so I get that there's this shit ton of this because i will agree it makes it less enjoyable (and that's why I don't really like long mangas because it's usually just the misunderstandings of an already established couple). I love misunderstandings because it makes me feel but it's a lot more organic and enjoyable during the "chase" part of the couples stage. Which is why I love short mangas because they usually stop once the couple is established or still on there beginnings of their relationship. It's much more exciting. Second story: hella dramatic and angsty and has a very familiar shoujo feel because of the love triangle. One could sense the primary and secondary characters from a mile away so it came as no surprise when the older brother was picked. This treads in gray area on reasons for infidelity (though imo he's married so any excuses are bs).

3.5 Christ this was so melodramatic and full of nothing but untold feelings and misunderstandings. Idk if I like it or if I think this was stupid.

3.75 Jesus this is so frustrating! Fucking tossing my heart and shit.

This shit is the worst.

3.5 The first story is disgusting because the uncle is basically a rapist and a pedophile but ughhhh so conflicted because this is my guilty pleasure and the uncle is so yummy. Second story: so sweet.

Story 1: 3.5 I hate uke/seme's who just string along but maybe I actually do like it only if it's from the manipulator's POV because I liked this trope in the story. Story 2: 3.75 made me hurt and cry and the uke is so pitiful yet adorable. However I felt the story didn't meet its potential because the uke had such a tragic past yet the story seemed to just gloss over that.

YES! FINALLY ANOTHER WORK BY THE MANGAKA OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE YAOI MANGA. I have high expectations for this one and I'm glad to say that I'm liking what I've read so far. It's also interesting that this story is essentially the opposite of Itou-san (ie sadistic younger seme vs caring older seme), yet still just as twisted. Ugh I can't wait for more! Chapter 2: OH MY GOD I CANT. ITS SO TWISTED AND FUCKED UP AND I LOVE IT.

3.5 Yeah this is pretty cute. The seme turned uke is pretty sexy.

3.75 This is one ultimate story about unrequited love. It had all the elements that would make me love it: slow pace but necessary to develop seme's feelings; the uke and his feelings are very clearly strong; and essentially a love square to create jealousy and push the couple to do shit. However, I didn't love this (and maybe thats because I skimmed most of this). My heart ached (especially for the uke) but I didn't feel for it as much I thought I would. And that's mainly because of the hella annoying secretary uke who is a fucking bitch and crybaby. You are waaaaay to biased for the main uke and his unrequited feelings to even have any sort of sympathy for the secretary uke. He was just a fucking obstacle. And another reason I didn't like this more was because there were a lot of cheesy cliche moments to stir conflict (which I wouldn't mind if it was so fucking excessive). Idk maybe I just need to reread this.

Oh god this is so twisted but so good. UGGGH I'm so turned on right.
