Okay, it's my fault for having set my expectations too high. After reading the synopsis, I thought this manga would focus more on how couples communicate to find solutions to their problems, but yeah ... it fell far short of my expectations.

As for the artwork, frankly, it's not to my taste. However, I do like the cover design.

3.5/5

La dinámica de los protagonistas me pareció encantadora y divertida, pero me hubiera gustado ver un poco más del desarrollo de la relación, ya que si bien ya era una pareja establecida, siento que tenía mucho potencial para tocar más temas.

*More of a 3.5*

I really loved the first 2 chapters, but it kind of went downhill from there. I didn't completely despise the rest and I liked the first chapters enough to keep my rating a rounded up 3.5

Kosuke and Shuji have been dating for 3 months, but there's been no progress sexually with their relationship. They meet up and have quiet somewhat boring dates and while Shuji loves the time they spend together, he wants more.

This was a really funny and cute story. Their relationship is adorable and Shuji reminds a little of Bakugo, but like fanfic Bakugo. (I've bought a lot of TDBK doujinshi lately. I don't even ship, Kiribaku is obvi the one, but it's so good?? Someone send help. I clearly need it.) I love the quiet nerdy seme x low key tsundere jock dynamic in this. Then it got into the third chapter when Shuji's brother shows up and I just hate the overprotective sibling/sibling complex trope so much. It wasn't the worst in this, but like it focused more on that for the last chapters and I missed spending time with the couple. It did try to lead into Kosuke having a somewhat sad backstory and a little bit of found family, but it didn't play into it enough for me to like it. The meeting of the parents was too rushed and I didn't like that everyone was peeping on them!!

Anyway this made me laugh a lot and I loved the couple. I just wish the last chapters were better :(

3.5

Just not hitting with the emotional progress. The intro of the bro-con brother to the story was not it. Its more comedy? than something serious
