david_holmes's manga / #Mutual Pining(2)

Reading chapter 4 (volume 2?). Ayame x Shimotsuki Shuu. Bully x victim. Senior x Junior. Senpai x Kouhai. High school students. 3rd x 1st. Time skip. Company president’s son x company employee. Deputy general manager x planning employee. Human Resources x Planning department. Work colleagues. Mutual pining. Mutual unrequited love. In denial about their feelings. Mpreg possibility. Pregnancy test. One night stand. Older seme x Younger Uke. Alpha x Omega. Company CEO heir seme (him and his brother can both take over the company). Handsome seme. Gorgeous seme. Manly seme. Capable seme. Hard-working seme. Jerk seme. Jealous seme. In love seme. Seme saying over’s name over and over and over again during sex or when they have a soft moment. Deeply in love seme who secretly cares and watches over uke while uke “hates” him for making his life miserable. Seme who pushes uke hard because he wants him to be the best. Pretty uke. Nerd uke (in high s school). In love uke. Pushover uke (but inwardly rants at least). Meek uke. Loner uke (doesn’t want to be alone but ends up alone). Low self-confidence uke. Though it is a little irritating how Uke acts like a total pushover towards Seme, he at least curses him in his mind which is better than those other uke’s are keep giving jerk seme a free pass because they love them which irritates me to no end. That being said, my irritation is placated somewhat by the fact that seme clearly has it as bad for uke and been longing and pining for him just as much as uke has if the flushed yearning and longing loving expressions are anything to go by. Sensei’s art is absolutely beautiful though. She makes very lovely expressions on both uke and seme. Seme’s yearning deep in love expressions when uke is not looking are squeetastic. Okay, I maybe can understand why this work is not getting the high rating it deserves and I have no idea if someone mistakenly uploaded the pages all out of whack but by chapter 4, the pages and panels are ALL OVER THE PLACE with no connection to each other. One moment uke is suddenly talking to a flower lady from having a flashback to a conversation with his mother about wearing contacts because seme told him nice things and the next page he’s having a conversation with seme... no idea what is going on... Okay seems like it’s just the author’s style and I DO NOT LIKE. It really lacks flow. Jump cuts in manga are tricky and there’s a reason why few experienced manga authors can pull it off. If it’s sloppy like this, it’s because it’s amateur, no matter how gorgeous the art and characters.

Reading (c5, p29). OKAY, I STOPPED READING BECAUSE THE GUY I WAS SURE AND WAS BADLY HOPING WOULD TOP FCKIN BOTTOMED SO *SCREW THIS*. I’m so pissed because what made this series interesting to me in the first place was having a cool but proper and serious seme with a very manly and masculine rough around the edges with no finesse uke but Nooooo they just had to reverse it and make it typical... SO F DISAPPOINTED FOR WASTING MY TIME *FUMES* EVERYTHING FROM HERE ON OUT IS REVERSE ORDER FFCCCK *pissed as a MF* Gay x Straight. Seme x seme. Mutual pining. In denial about their feelings seme & uke. Jerk-off buddies. Masturbation buddies. Top seme. Handsome seme. Manly seme. Muscular seme. Lean seme. Ripped body seme. Ripped seme. Broad shoulders seme. Hot seme. Excellent cook seme. Pride seme. Housewife seme. Jealous seme. Hard-on seme. Erection seme. Manly uke. Dumped uke. Nuisance uke. Messy uke. Drunken uke. Pride uke. Break-up comfort seeking uke. Uke keeps getting dumped by his girlfriends and goes over to his neighbor and fellow uni student (same uni) for comfort and basically comes onto seme, seduces and molests him and even though seme stops uke sternly saying uke is not his type, he still wants uke not to push it or else he’ll “fucking rape you.” So hot... Love that gay seme goes to complain about straight uke to his gay friends at the gay bar ALL THE TIME (like how whenever uke comes over he makes a complete mess of his whole flat, how he can’t get peace and quiet, how he gets molested and that he should just stay straight instead of touching a gay guy) so much much so that they seem to get the picture better than seme does, like, “he doesn’t even realise it yet but he’s already fallen for him (uke).”, haha (I know that’s a lot of gay and straight but the thought of it is so endearing in my BL fantasies). The gay bar Mama asks the seme isn’t it because he likes uke to which seme vehemently denies saying he likes the cute type (which uke is so far from being manly and dude-like) but they think it’s sad as falling in love with a straight guy is hardships ahead... Aww. Seme already so deep in love and doesn’t even realise it. When seme kicks uke out saying not to come to him anymore, uke stops coming to bother seme when he gets dumped, so Seme who thought he got rid of a nuisance starts to seriously miss uke and actually goes to the gay bar, drinks himself in despair and complains now that uke hasn’t contacted him at all in 2 months (even though he convinced himself he was back to his peaceful life), hehe. Seme actually cooked for and took care of uke and worries whether uke is being well fed by his new girlfriend so Mama again says to seme, “you are definitely in love with him.”, to which seme looks bewildered. Mama loses her patience when obstinate and in denial seme says uke is the worst friend and shouts that seme conplains when uke comes over but he also complains even worse when uke doesn’t haha. Seme realises he’s lonely thanks to Mama and thinks “hurry up and get dumped and come over... Shit!” LOL SEME HAS IT SO BAD! When seme hears from a mutual friend that uke is now going after men, jealous seme gets REALLY pissed. Turns out uke was troubling which male friend he’s annoying after getting dumped now which still pisses seme off. Seme just thinks that uke should apologise and come back to him instead of bothering another male friend as seme is the only one who can take care of uke best, lol, possessive much, haha. And of course it turns out that the reason uke keeps getting dumped is because he compares all his gf’s to seme and how nothing is good like seme’s food and cooking, the smell of the laundry detergent, etc. When seme finds this out through mutual friends he finally caves and texts uke and makes all his favourites and Aymara he’ll spoil him to the point uke will never want to leave and yet is still in denial after thinking that haha.
