The Story About You x Me

9.5

This is seriously one of the sweetest and funniest BL manhuas I've read in such a long time, I can't believe it's so underrated. It's a great example of a healthy, adorable relationship between two guys (something that's hard to find in the shounen-ai department). Story: 9 I personally really enjoyed how well-paced and cute the plot was. It's very slice of lifey and centered around two high school boys as they grow closer despite their differences. Gu Ze is your so-called delinquent who's pretty rowdy and playful (but honestly he's just a bean hehe) and Ye Ruchuan is Mr. Perfect, cool vice president and model student extraordinaire. Through a series of (slightly planned) incidents, they find themselves working togehter.  It's not very "enemies-to-lovers" as in they both hate hate each other before suddenly falling in love, but rather a type of dynamic like between Misa and Usui from Maid-sama. They find each other somewhat annoying but they still tolerate each other enough so that they realize the other's not actually as obnoxious as they seem to be. In this sense, the story begins and maintains a very "slice of life" feel. Obviously, there's a (light) angsty backstory for each of them, but overall it's just fluff fluff fluff! You can see how they realistically grow to come to terms with their feelings and the mutual pining is not as painfully hard to read as you'd expect. There's tons of humor in this story, not just with side characters used as comedic relief, but within the main duo as well. This is the kind of story where you'll find yourself smiling like an idiot because of how funny adorable it is.  Art: 9.5 The art was one of my absolute favorites! I'm really not the most qualified to talk about this aspect, but even though it's a pretty typically seen style, the palette and style really added to the cute and light-hearted vibe so much. All the characters are so pretty gahh but it really matches the sweet and funny atmosphere of the webtoon. The expressions of the characters were also so spot on and really added to the humor or emotions in the scenes. Overall, just so so enjoyable to look at! Characters: 9 The two main characters are so adorable together, gahhh it's almost too sweet lmaoo. Gu Ze is lowkey a tsundere at first and the development of his feelings is really natural. He initially finds Ye Ruchuan annoying for how frequently he keeps coming into his life, but also becomes so used to it, he doesn't know what to do when it's gone. Ye Ruchuan's feelings are more obvious and he's just so stupidly infatuated with Gu Ze, it's so cute! Like I said before, they have a very Maid-Sama-like relationship where Gu Ze intially keeps brushing off Ye Ruchuan's presence but ultimately realizes he likes the other more than he realizes. Their dynamic is just really perfect and is a real selling point of the story.  Overall: 9.5 I honestly can't believe how underrated this comic is; it's got the complete package of story, art, and characters. It's so enjoyable and there's really nothing to dislike about it at all. It takes a bit of time for the two to actually get together but it doesn't feel very long and you get well-earned established relationship fluff for a good amount of chapters too. The story's ending also leaves you completely satisfied. It's certainly become a favorite of mine and it's definitely something I'll be returning to if I'm in the mood for light-hearted BLs. If you're looking for something like a soft rom-com, this is exactly where you should be headed.

One of the best i've ever read. It was funny, wholesome and simple. I liked how there were no misunderstandings between the main characters, or even when there could have been one they just talked it out. Communication is really everything and I was so happy finding a manhwa which shows this. (Sometimes I am sick of the miscommunication/misunderstaing thrope.) The story was also hilarious! I laughed out loud a lot of times. It's slow burn, I loved how they slowly get to know each other, then somehow become friends (spoiler: tho its a one sided friendship, we all suspect that one of them already is in love from the start) and when they finally admit their feelings for each other... its truly everything. I am trying very hard but honestly cant describe how much I loved this story, it was amazing. 10/10. Must read for sure!
