EnBogreol's manga / #Misleading appearances(13)

After Eiji’s younger brother, Seiji, gets into trouble with some school delinquents, he asks him for help. At the confrontation, Eiji meets Aisu, the current leader(a position that Eiji also held back in high school). After things get sorted out, Aisu seeks out Eiji and corners him with a love confession??? —- The art work is wonderful, just my taste. However, the story is... not great. Aisu is(was) a complete douche. Selfish and uncaring, aka, not relationship material. He does seem to change in the end, but still... it was a bad start. Worst was when he, let’s just say it, raped Eiji. Just, bruh... Eiji is much more likeable and enjoyable to read about. But the story seemed too short for me to really get to know the characters. I find that it ended pretty abruptly, with threads like Aisu and Eiji’s past encounter not being exapanded upon at at all, which I think is a shame. I also agree with many other commenters, that a side story about Seiji and Hachidori would have been really good lol.

Tomo is a big guy. He’s also incredibly shy and nervous. After returning home from a drinking party, he’s awoken by a beautiful stranger. A call boy?! He never requested one...! —- It’s was cute overall. Tomo is babie, must protect. Kuniharu was sweet too, very puppy-like, so exactly my type. I thought Tomo’s interactions with his coworkers were quite nice and sweet, and I just really like manager lady lol. Something I wasn’t fond of was the non-con/rape scene in chapter 4. It did morph into something consensual, but it was clearly not so in the beginning. It was completely unnecessary, and just left a bitter taste in my mouth. I’m so tired of rape/non-con/dub-con constantly being used unnecessarily in BL... Other than that, it was a cute little story. A nice and quick read about a fluffy couple. With a lotta smut.

Azusa, an omega, was getting bullied relentlessly back in middle school. Lucky for him though, he was saved by the cold alpha Kaede. Forever grateful for this act, Azusa has done his best to track down his saviour, whom he has since developed a huge crush on. However, Kaede is not eager to reciprocate. —- Art style is beautiful, story is meh. It’s omegaverse, so there’s pretty much garabteed to be some toxic elements somewhere, and here I’d say it’s the discrimination aspect, and also Azusa’s possessiveness. Kaede is douchy and mean, so I don’t like him much, and Azusa is kind of a creep. So yeah, the smuts pretty much the only reason I’m here lol. The second couple I don’t like at all. Hikaru seems like a fairly stereotypical “bottom” type, being childish, weak, dumb, and somewhat spoiled. Not my thing. Ren has a beautiful design, but the backstory about him assaulting Hikaru doesn’t sit right with me(like, I may not like Hikaru much, but RUN, that’s your rapist!!!!), especially since I’m not quite sure how old Hikaru was at the time of the assault... I mean, their entire storyline is: “Hey, I’m sorry I raped you, I’ve since trained my body so I’m not gonna rape you again, pls marry me lol” like what??????
