NI-KA-CHUUUUUUUUUU's manga / #romance(819)

Quite cute but overhyped. Unrelatable characters and love story not all too convincing (seme in particular somewhat gets on my nerves). Very innocent.

*2.5 Its ehhhh. The uke and seme are both annoying. No emotional attachment to any character. The chick is the best though.

4.5 This manga hit me where I like it (lawlz): uke falls for seme first and seme deals with unresolved feelings for uke. One of the few mangas where I actually liked seeing the seme's POV more. Definitely wished it was longer and wasn't completely satisfied with the ending (moment at the end where seme laughs is adorable but ughhhh the manga jumps 3 months ahead and we don't even get to see the seme confessing his feelings and shit).

UGHHHHHH THE MANGA. I have no words for how much I loved it. I think why I loved it so much is because the uke deals with insecurity and always doubts and even often loathes himself; he has a difficult time socializing and has to force himself to do things even though he doesn't believe he can. I noticed some comments about how the uke seems to cry too much but honestly I really relate to him. Being someone who personally deals social anxiety and low self-esteem issues so this manga really hit close to home for me; he lives in constant fear that he'll disappoint people and ultimately fail. He believes everyone hates him and the fact that he was in denial that the seme could even love him for majority of the manga is utterly heart-shattering.

Very innocent and pure love. Very slice of life feeling.

Awww the uke is so adorable! *favorite shounen ai 20230828- lol fuck this hits way harder now. Why do I relate to the uke so much
