Popo's manga / #Reencounter(13)

Seme reunites with his bully and decides to take revenge by making uke fall in love with him. However, uke is completely are of who he is and has actually been obsessed with seme for the past 8 years. Seme's unwavering perseverance despite being bullied (dude a cigarette burn to the forehead wtf) ignited a degradation kink (?) in uke and he's only able to be satisfied by seme. The truth is revealed and uke leaves but seme chases him and they kinda just settle into a dysfunctional sexual relationship. Honestly it just feels like they went, shou ga nai lol

ch45 beta turns into an omega. hooks up with his alpha childhood friend Ch 3 TRIGGER WARNING: rape Seme was raped by an adult omega when he was younger (looks like a junior high uniform ). He's traumatized by it, especially omega pheromones since she used hers to lure him.

ch5.5 Seme (kohai) had a crush on uke (senpai) in high school. They meet again in college but uke had an accident after graduation that made him forget all of high school. He writes down all he can remember of HS which is like 2 sentences :( Seme hangs out with and tries to help him remember. He's intensely jealous of another student who seems close with uke. Seems like seme is also hiding something else from uke????

Ch5.5 super slow burn

Side 1 Guy reunites with his first crush who used to be tiny and cute and is now a huge, beefy fella who probably bench presses cars for fun I really enjoy the relationship between the two leads. Due to the art style, this could have easily been another toxic, obsessive seme story. But the seme in the store is very green flag. He does lean into that kind of obsessive trope but he balances it out by controlling himself and pulling himself back whenever he is about to cross the line. Such as when he wanted to know why uke had to rush off to the hospital. He did follow uke but stopped himself from barging in and demanding to know what's up. He left and resolved to wait for uke to explain when uke was ready. And then he's further balanced out by how uke isn't a doormat. Uke seems to be an experienced but once seme initiates sex, he's all for it and I like that the story shows how fully into everything he is. There's no reluctance there's no "he's being forced but secretly enjoys it" moment. He's a full participant in the sexual and romantic relationship. Also, he's not afraid or intimidated by seme at all. I really hate when you get a buff uke but the creator still treats him like a wimpy princess who suddenly loses all strength and easily gets overpowered by the seme. The noses double in length by the end of the story looking like Pinocchio lol

3.5 stars Seme set up a trap and uke just falls right in lol Seme is weird. He's painted as both a manipulative sociopath AND a clingy, naive child :/ I hate that their sex life revolves around what he wants to do and uke's mind numbing pleasure is not a goal but happens because the author forces it to.

Ch5 - dropping here cuz wtf MC is basic looking AF and he's got an ugly 90s hair cut to boot but that's not even the worst part of this manga. Ch3 TRIGGER WARNING ️ ML, sick with fever, dreams about being raped as a child (by his older brother?) and when he wakes, MC does the same exact act to him. Also, we find out in ch4 that MC, a child himself at the time (understandable) witnessed ML's rapes BUT still chose to initiate sex with ML in similar style as the rapist (wtf man). Ch5 bro almost killed uke in a "If I can't be with you, nobody can!" rage WHILE they're having sex WTF

Ch6

Ch6.5 Trigger warning ️ Not shown but heavily implied that ML was getting physically and sexually assaulted by his stepfather from at least middle school to high school. Love the conversation the leads had at the end where ML just confirmed and affirmed that MC didn't deserve what happened to him and that he loved him no matter what had happened. Did NOT love the convo ML had with the photographer/MC's modeling mentor about how MC's vulnerability makes people want to sexually violate him *fucking barf*
