HaJime's manga / #mature(3)

Cute and simple.

Okay, I had previously given this story 3 stars, but I'm amending that decision. Yes, the one guy is a cheater, and yes, the other one is completely manipulative, but there's something about this story that is extremely compelling. I've reread this story and the sequel half a dozen times. It isn't squishy or sweet, but there's a realism to it that squishy, sweet stories typically lack.

Ok, this one was better than the first story about this couple. For one, Mr. Cheater managed to only have one affair in this story. And I really liked the way that his romance with the girl was portrayed. Women are not usually shown in a positive light in these stories. Also, I LOVE manga where the uke and seme switch things up. All in all, these dudes are still total assholes, but they seem to be growing up a bit.
