cute

super cute super nice i love their relationship so much. From the beginning we are introduced from the perspective of minehito who sees rui and feels like he is being undermined by his personality. Then, it’s slightly hinted that Rui truthfully wants to know more abt minehito so not all is what it seems. Then after the situation with the cross dressing secret being revealed to rui, it’s an unfavorable situation for your secret safe haven to be revealed to the person you feel would make fun of you but that is not the case. If anything it made Rui fall harder for him as he learned more about him. Afterwards, he confronts Minehito playfully abt not talking to him during the shooting of a drama he’s in and Minehito cries! Then Rui becomes panicked. Really nicely done, the author shows readers that Rui is earnest and not a trickster-playboy archetype, it’s just his dual personality that makes it seem so. From there, they become closer (from Rui’s POV) via an interview. But Minehito thinks that there is no purpose in having Rui interview him since he unconsciously believed for a long time that no one would understand him even though he wants to. I like the pacing of the story, it’s much like a movie which becomes evident in chapter 5. This story is really nice, thoughtfully outlined, and the message is clear: Through conflict, POV, and indirect characterization, the author shows the importance of understanding that having separate personas of what you want to perceived as is not deceitful rather it’s the fluidity of a persons character and the fact that a person does not have to go find their “true” and “only” self to be happy. What you want to perceive as is not limited to one personality and is not deceiving in the least as everyone does it do some extent. The story does a great job of highlight the importance of disproving that such people are undeserving of love and understanding, and is done through the character and interactions with Rui. Everyone is three dimensional and it’s up to someone else to understand that everyone has different personalities that will not adhere to what you consider “normal” (which is FLAT and BORING, everyone can be what they want to, it’s fluid!!!!). ️️️️

cute and nice

This manga is soo nice it’s so nuanced too. There’s the usual trope of mc-gets-flashy-glowup-but-is-overshadowed-by-handsome-male-lead. I still read it cause it looked cute on the cover. Then there’s the usual mc-sees-crush-confess-to-handsome-male-lead. And then the mc gets jealous yadda yadda suddenly handsome male lead confesses to mc or kisses him and mc is like “???” or something like that. I really was expecting that but we got a really nice and not annoying mc and I was really surprised. Also the male lead is not super obvious that he likes mc and he’s not overbearing as well, he’s more concerned about helping mc be happy (and trying to make him fall for him on the side lmfao) The Mc has genuine insecurities that stem from his flashy friends and the male lead helps him with looking more genuine as he wanted him to be but mc because mc is so insecure, he is still comparing himself to his friends. Then there’s the scene where mc finds out how his friends really think about him. His friends genuinely like him and because of the male lead kinda leading to the said event, the mc feels more comfortable and confident with his friendship with his friends. Then there’s the whole potential girlfriend background story which was super heartbreaking. I need that witch who made his potential girlfriend feel super conscious about how they would look to other people. I’m glad they made up and left on no bad terms. The male leads whole standing in this story is also very nice, he’s always there to support mc and is sooo good for him. This story is so cute and it’s super nice to see how all these people connect to mc and eventually clear up anything that left him with several insecurities. My sons Yuzuki, Shitara, and Toyosaki I’ll hold u close in my heart Overall nice new fresh take on the trope and super good storytelling

This is actually a really good story i love the premise so much. Only reason I could think of it being rated low is cause it’s an old manga and so the style is different. But i don’t hear any complaints from the 9+ rated manhwas that have men with the empire state building as their shoulders. Also there’s the chemistry and romance. It feels mature and very cute at the beginning. It feels rushed BUT there’s a hidden element of lust and love eminent and growing it’s all in their expressions
