NI-KA-CHUUUUUUUUUU's manga / #reencounter(116)

Insecurity and one-sided love of uke always tears me apart.

I love this manga way way waaaaaaaay too much. Reread: 5>3.75 I don't know. I don't love this as much anymore. The more I reread this the more I realize what an absolute bastard Taichi is. He's too possessive over Nao yet decides to break up with him when it's too hard for him/ convienient for him. Yet the second he sees that tachi could be possibly taken away, he ignores all that??? (Dude if you broke up with someone you should know that officially puts them on the market right???) honestly Nao deserves better. I'm actually not totally mad this hasn't been updated yet because I know they're ultimately going to end up together.

Fuck the feels. Reread 5: due to personal stuff going on rereading this made me cry and feel more than I usually did. The ukes fears of relationships and insecurity of his identity because of his dark past makes this so painfully relatable that I can't help but officially say I LOVE this manga. The uke essentially embodies everything that I feel in life currently.

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.

Chapter 4: oooo interesting. Seme already confesses and uke plays hard to get for revenge. The seme'S reaction wasn't what I expected but daaaaaaamn. I would like this manga more if only the seme and uke weren't some damn UNLIKABLE.

3.5 Pretty funny. Liked it.

More shounen ai than actual yaoi but sill quite beautiful nonetheless

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.

3.25 Cute I guess. Hella cliche doe.
