NI-KA-CHUUUUUUUUUU's manga / #sweet(110)

Why do you make me cry so?

3.5 Very cute and organic love. The non-hostile and competitive feelings between girls and guys is very refreshing for a yaoi/shounen ai manga. Complaint: Both seem to always be in a bad mood and distant so its difficult to develop an emotional attachment to characters. Would have preferred the whole story in uke's perspective (because you know me).

Lovely uke.

Same issues as Seven Days. Cute (not as innocent but still) but unrelatable characters (particular the seme) and not a fully convincing love story. *seme has s tendencies like in Ten Count only not as extreme. Mangaka's style?

ahhhhhhhhh fuck here comes the waterworks.

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.
