I Ship My Rival X Me by PEPA

[reviews_and_ramblings]

 

The full-color manhua (comic) adaptation of the hit danmei/Boys' Love novel! A lighthearted romantic comedy about two rookie actors who learn they’re being shipped online.

Wei Yanzi and Gu Yiliang burst onto the acting scene together, igniting a rivalry fueled by their shared debut. But while Gu Yiliang dazzles with his acting prowess and idol-worthy looks, Wei Yanzi finds himself in the shadow with only his striking appearance to boast. Amid the barrage of online hate from Gu Yiliang's fervent admirers, Wei Yanzi's patience wears thin.

When Wei Yanzi stumbles upon an online community totally convinced there’s a romantic entanglement between the two actors, he is initially shocked but soon finds solace in their speculation as he immerses himself in their discussions.

Though their relationship is purely professional, Wei Yanzi can't shake the growing sense that maybe the shippers are onto something. As he spends more time with Gu Yiliang, lines blur, and Wei Yanzi begins to wonder if there might, after all, be truth behind the fan-fueled fantasies!

My Rate: 8 (amzn.to/3STs4py)

I tend to got easily bored with the manhua, they have usually a beautiful graphic, very detailed panels, but the stories are sort of too childish. In this case there was the beautiful graphic but also the story was nice enough to get me interested till the end. It’s very innocent, not at all sexy, but quite funny. In another contest these two would be doing acrobatic moviments in bed at page 10, here instead they are mostly teasing each other till the end, and even the kisses are censored. Said that, you can use your imaginatiin and just enjoy their anthics outside the bedroom.
