humour is sexy

by lozzenator

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

This is sooo funny I had to stop reading and go pee. It's THAT funny...
Love the way the two main characters look like the kind of men who are equal but opposites, I can't tell seme from uke here, and I love that.
The humour reminds me of Yamada Yugi's manga. It's great to read comedy by Kuneida Saika. She usually does pretty serious stuff.

Highly recommended with a warning that your gut might hurt from too much laughter.

P/S: The quality of the scanlation was fantastic- the humour transcended languages.

Humourous and Captivating

by MightyMaeve

Rating: 9.5 / 10.0

Kunieda-sensei's deceptively 'sloppy lines' capture wild extremes of emotion and pours liquid movement into her comical art! I've never read two men in so much denial and yet so out-of-control at the same time! And the art bespeaks the emotions visually.

Although the boys keep going in circles, each circle is full of tension and humour so I wasn't bored at all! It's never explicit; it's all implied sex scenes. That said, there are tense moments that keep the comedy grounded to make the characters really come to life as individuals. Like the space between Adam and God's finger in Michelangelo's fresco, Kunieda-sensei has got the right moves! She even manages to objectify women as seen through the men's eyes, and still remains tongue-in-cheek funny.

The best chapter is when they meet two girls that embody their fetishes and their personalties. Each man ends up dating the girl that is just like the other man! Just keep denying the obvious, boys...

This story has a hot little yuri kiss too!

The scanlation team did a great job--professional and yet personal--as they attempted to connect some of the nuances that would be lost on a North American culture.

50 x 50

I admit it - gay encounters between aggressively straight guys due to alcohol is one of my favorite setups, ever. It's certainly more plausible than almost anything else that happens in yaoi manga. 50 x 50 treats this situation with her characteristic hilariousness and realism. This manga isn't some implausible flowery romance between a guy and a chick with a dick - it's a story that could really happen. My only complaint is the lack of an ending. There's some vague hinting that the two are going to live together, but it's very vague indeed. I guess life's like that sometimes.

This made me laugh and broke out of all the cliché elements that I hate in yaoi, which is always good.
The two main characters are morons, but I wouldn't want them any other way haha.
And the women in this are not to be trifled with either! That was probably one of my favorite parts heehee.

My only wish is that it was longer...

Endless laughter

Rating: 9.5 / 10.0

Their denial of their obvious attraction to each other is so incredibly funny. I especially couldn't stop laughing at the "tsundere" comment. I wish it was longer though, and yes, I would still be reading this even if it WAS 100 chapters. So many hilarious situations.....

This is great!!

I love this manga. The story wasn't what I'm expecting but it's still good. I had a good amount of laugh thanks to the main character. Many probably came here thinking there's a deep development between the main love interest but I'm telling you now that the story went the other way. This is not the manga for you if you're looking for heavily filled romance. I've been reading mangas like those for a while now so reading this all of a sudden was refreshing. I still recommend this manga!!!! Also the art isn't ugly. It fits the comedy vibe of the manga so those who aren't used to that may find it weird. So yeah I give this a 9/10. Was just hoping for the story to be longer.

I found this hilarious. I love how they both completely refuse the fact that they might be gay but do the gayest shit together when they’re drunk. They only reason I’m not giving this a 10 is because I just want another volume 🙁 it’s so short aaaah

I don't know why everyone is bitching about the "art", because I find it absolutely lovable and tolerable enough unlike some other mangas I have read that have so shitty art I could puke thousands of times from just merely looking at them. The characters were drawn well, and I really am not going to bitch about it because it's obvious I'll never be able to draw like her (her? or him? I'm guessing she is a female).

Wataru was my favorite throughout the whole story. He is pervert, but still pretty cute. I love it how is not "gloomy" and always-serious type of guy. He is funny, sweet and I love it. I like it how he is messy (I shouldn't really use the word messy, I think it should be "careless" or the person who needs to get taken care of). I can relate to him. I'm very messy and I'm too careless. He is so cute. Even though I was surprised how he would always take care of his face and all. Totally and absolutely like a girl! He even thought that Shuzou used nailpolish! Isn't that just hilarious?

Shuzou was really, a tsundere. I liked him at first and forced myself to not to like Wataru because I've always liked tsunderes like him. But failed anyway, lol. I liked the way he was literally "the mother" of those two. He is always taking care of Shuzou and is like his mother, He is just too caring! Oh God, I'd love to have someone as him! I wasn't really fond of his "seriousness" by the way. But I still liked it in the end, because the seriousness has humor in it too! (please, don't even get me started about the humor, I won't be able to write so many things)

Both of the characters were equally beautiful. Even though the story or characters don't have a unique kind/type/personality, even though it's kind of cliché,I still loved it. Because the humor was real, like ** fucking** real and I'd love to re-read it again anytime soon!

Let me get started with the art again.
All mangakas have a different style of drawing. I don't think it would be very nice if all mangakas had the same art-style. Different types of art style makes the stories different from each other which is a plus point for all of you "It's clichéful and not good art!!" bitches.

I'd recommend this to anyone. Like anyone. If you're hoping for a good read with good humor, this manga is perfect for you. I don't know about others, but I love it. And I would like to read other stories with humor like this one.

Laugh out loud hilarious comedy

by Namiya

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

Okay, this is nothing for people who want pretty art and sexy men!
It's pure comedy and I oftentimes didn't know what was going on exactly but it was still funny.
Two straight men, one a lover of big breasts, the other a leg/foot fetishist, and somehow they still keep ending up with one another!
I enjoyed the type of humor in this work, though I must admit that some pages had way too much wall of text and I didn't read all of it, but then again, just looking at the pictures was enough sometimes!
The art is funny but not pretty or anything, and the manga ends a bit abruptly for my taste.
All in all though, a solid comedy, not much plot but plenty of lol moments!
And beware of the beer! Cause it makes straight men sleep with one another over and over and over and ...

Weaponized denial.

by Trifoilum

Rating: N/A

....I hope actual guys with homosexual tendencies in Japan are not as much in denial as they are here. Because if they have even just 1/10 of it...hoo boy.

It's very comedic, very funny and pokes with the 'sleeping with the rival' storyline, but...the denial bugged me. The pretending to be a straight -- or at least, to deny the feelings between each other, bugged me. The lack of resolutions in the storyline bugged me.

It's not Kunieda-sensei's fault as it is the character's own fault, but STILL.
