stargazer's manga / #Cute(5)

it felt weirdly rushed and unnatural at times, but it was cute :)

kiumi (top turned bottom - uke) is a outgoing gay guy who has sex with a different boy every night. he’s crazy about sex and will top anyone. one day he is being chased by porn people and they are trying to employ him but he’s runnin and then he runs into his classmate shizume (seme) and he take kiumi home. kiumi is drunk and ends up convincing shizume to have sex with him. turns out... shizume is a little kinky and makes kiumi wear a collar attached to a chain during sex. blah blah blah they are sex friends for awhile then drama happens and now they are lovers in a relationship anyway for the review: i came for the kink and stayed for the cuteness. sure there was lots of smut but kiumi is SO CUTE and his interactions with shizume were absolutely awesome :))) also, shizume was cute in his own way too. they say he is a sadist i think but honestly if he is actually a sadist then he sucks as one. there was like, no sadism in this. like zero. i feel like japanese people don’t really know what sadism is or whatever. like shirai yusuke and mafumafu are self proclaimed masochists (or what they call do-m’s) (random thought but i bet kaida haru is one too) but like broski is that really what you mean???? like are you really getting off to pain??? they do the same thing with sadism in japan but i couldn’t think of any real life people examples. as someone who came for the kink, i will say it sucked... there was only a collar and that was removed by the end, but overall, the characters make up for it. this manga is very character driven honestly... also this is getting long but can i touch on the art!?!?!?!? omg!! the art is SO CUTE!! shizume’s hair looked so fluffy!?!? i wanted to head pat him so badly and kiumi...!?!? don’t even get me started he was SO ADORABLE in the little tiny drawings/panels UGH so to summarize: a good read for a friday night at 1 am. would not read again because there are too many manga with a similar story to this but i enjoyed it while it lasted. side note: even though seme-kun is "technically" kinky, i did not put this on the kinky shit list because it's not kinky enough. a single collar is not enough to make me read the smut again.

note: I only read the first story because the first couple was all I cared about synopsis: two coworkers somehow discover the secrets about each other. The seme’s secret being that he has a tattoo on his pelvic area, and the uke’s being that he’s a huge M. through sharing the secrets, they enter a relationship. Then they eventually become boyfriends. review: this was very cute! The art was nice. I quite liked it. I liked the pacing as well. The boys were also very nice. the seme was possesive how i like but not rapey which was good. the uke was cute and i love a good masochistic uke too so he was a tasty snack. I liked the drama/misunderstanding they had as well, it was just enough to keep me interested in their story, and also just enough to keep me from getting stressed out about it. 3/5 because i wasn’t blown away but it was a tasty snack

Most mid thing ever. Not even worth reviewing bc i literally don't care.
