Ugh, THIS. THIS IS WHAT I WANT WHEN I SIGN UP FOR ENEMIES TO LOVERS BL. Their rivalry, rivalry-turned-relationship, their growth- all of it was super satisfying. I really felt the feels in this one.
I love both of the characters, they were pretty well defined, and all of their conflicts were realistic and not stretched. This is the kind of thing I want from adult bl. I liked how Torikai's insecurities were dealt with, cause he really deserves way better. The art was CRAZYYY good in some panels but overall 8.5 out of 10. Lastly, don't know why MAL thinks this manga doesn't have

A história é legal, só não é memorável. Muito morna e sem sal. Sorte do autor que ...

I'm impressed, I started reading it because I thought it would just be a silly story focusing more on sex, just to pass the time and laugh a little, but it's one of the best lovers' rivals I've ever read. The author knows how to build a real rivalry, this is the relationship you imagine when you think of rivals and it still manages to be a healthy relationship.

this is quite the perfect rivals to lovers story IMO. the transition from rivals to "something weird" to frival to lovers is really really smooth and, most of all, makes sense to their characters. the "rival" aspect of this pair really does NOT serve as mere gimmick. it's part of one of the character's conflicted past, one of the reasons of them getting to know each other, one of the reasons for one of them to fall for the other, one of the reasons of their character growth, and one of the reason of their recent conflict.
not to mention, the characters feel quite complex. their ... |
