my feelings are basically as the tin says ^^^ LOOOOL. i was looking for comedy and got catfished into catching feels /o\
triggers/warnings/kinks (in order of appearance)
-catfishing
-infantilism/baby play, but this is played up for the lulz and not done seriously
-sex toys, specifically dildos (and they're like......accidental/surprise dildos LMAO)
-~10 year age gap (but it is not related to the infantilism at all tybg)
-the top, because of his job, has sex with a woman
-homophobia, internalized homophobia, microaggressions
-sexy/oil massage
-the bottom loses his v-card
and, for the record, everything is blessedly CONSENSUAL despite the initial set up of the story!! ;w;
i was confused by the summary, so instead i'd describe the story more like this: a callboy whose company serves women gets catfished into servicing a man. the customer, bless his soul, accidentally asks for the weirdest fuckin package available. and then feels happen jlkfadskljdfsjlfsdaljk
it truly does start as comedy. their first encounter is filled with misunderstandings and though it plays out really, really weird it's hilarious to read. their next encounter is a result of more misunderstandings and weird hilarity. as the story progresses though, we learn more and more about each characters' backgrounds, and how they ended up where they did. this is where the feels trapped me /);w;(\ as the story heads towards its climax and resolution, there is something incredibly raw and tender about the way they fall in love.
the running scene in chapter five. mark my words: the running scene in chapter five.
the fact that it's a single volume means it can't bring as much depth as other mangas do bc it's pulling together comedy, smut, and drama into a cohesive story, but i will give it props for weaving these genres together successfully despite how short it was. the ending is rushed and played for hilarity, but i thought it was ultimately satisfying.
on a technical note, the art is beautiful and really easy to follow. though there's much more tone and colouring than most manga, i can still appreciate the style that sensei was going for. i tend to disagree with the "atypical art style" tag bc the art style is typical of manga, though i suppose when the story gets deeply serious or extremely comedic the art looks more suited to shounen > yaoi/BL. the character designs aren't youthful faced bishounen, nor do they have muscular/athletic body types, and sometimes they're reminiscent of western cartoon/comic styles, but they're attractive nonetheless. the entire book's aesthetic is right up my alley and the porn is 👌👌👌👌👌 though short for my taste lol.
overall, i really enjoyed the manga despite what i was initially looking for~!
