“Oops I caught feelings” trope with two (surprise! You’re actually bisexual) men? Heck yeah.
A tagline like “it’s only natural for editors to help their authors” and then smexy shenanigans occur? Sign me up! We love coworkers crossing lines in the name of love — I mean, work 😉😉
Why 4 stars instead of 5? Because it took soooo dang long for the mangaka uke to realize his feelings and we got next to nothing of them being together and all lovey 😩 You’re gonna drag out the denial phase that long you need to give me enough to make up for it and the author just did not do that for me here.

Este primer volumen de Can't Stand Any Longer es lo mejor que he leído de Kashima Chiaki hasta el momento, la historia empieza con una premisa normal, un editor Shishio Masumi dizque heterosexual que: oh sorpresa, es transferido al departamento de libros BL, y como no le asignan a un mangaka que hace doujinshis. Hasta ese punto todo cool, nada fuera de lo normal. Los personajes y sus personalidades todas bien diferenciadas, el arte hermoso como siempre. No obstante, mientras más iba avanzando el primer capitulo, y conocíamos al susodicho autor de doujinshis Akiba Satoru (que es el hermano menor del personaje principal de Akihabara Fall in Love) una cosa se dejo bien claro, que Satoru es el personaje más profesional dentro mundo del yaoi.
Yo honestamente esperaba que fuera Satoru el que primero se enamorara de Shishio, porque es lo que usualmente ocurre, pero sucede lo contrario y doy gracias por eso. Mas de una vez me reí al leer los intentos de Shishio de hacer que Satoru lo mire de otra forma, que reaccione a sus atenciones (que por supuesto lo hace por el bien del libro que están haciendo) pensamiento que no perdura mucho en la cabeza del editor, y mientras Shishio esta head over heels for Satoru, a él no podría importarle menos, y solo le importa una cosa: hacer su mejor trabajo con su libro. El contraste en ellos dos es divertido, porque por un lado tenemos a un sentimental editor y a un workalcoholic mangaka que capítulos después admite no haberse enamorado nunca.
La opinión que tiene Satoru sobre el amor es bastante interesante y los argumentos que utiliza para defender su punto de vista dejan a entrever la profundidad de su personaje, y eso es lo que aprecio en las historias, que los personajes tengan capas y no solo sean superficiales. Can't Stand Any Longer puede parece una historia del montón, pero Kashima Chiaki hace un buen trabajo construyendo a sus personajes y creando situaciones en las cuales podemos apreciar sus distintas motivaciones y como estas motivaciones dan pistas a los problemas internos, en este caso de Satoru. Creo que de todos los trabajos que he leído de ella hasta ahora, este primer volumen de Can't Stand Any Longer es mi favorito de todos.

Interesting story! It's like a BLception! A BL story about a BL mangaka doing the BL for the BL 😘 I would say I love it but the story isn't sticking, which kind of parallels with the BL they're making. The mangaka is just so...BLAH. He's so what I imagine a personality A type person being. Making a date schedule and taking notes while having sex, like, someone needs to make this boy FEEL. As for his editor, I love the messy hair but he's also lacking a bit in character. Oh, but I do love that he's a romantic! I'm curious to see where this goes, 3.5

I liked 「俺と上司とかくしごと」so I thought I'd read more of Chiaki Kashima's stuff. There's a couple of things I like about this manga (and generally what I've seen from this mangaka), and before I list them off I have to say 「先生、もうダメですっ」is a spin off of 「秋葉原フォーリンラブ」. I read that one ages ago and honestly I forgot it exists. But this is a spin off!
This is about Shishio Masumi, an editor who got transferred from the shoujo manga department to the BL manga department. He's tasked to look for a newcomer from a bunch of newly released doujinshi and picks up a doujinka who drew great dicks. Turns out the doujinka is a salaryman who needs models for his work. (This was a plot point in the previous series. Hasegawa mistakes Satoru to be Ayumu's lover because he sees them in the middle of posing. Turns out they're brothers and Satoru just likes to use his older brother as a model for his BL works.)
Masumi agrees to model for Satoru and starts becoming more aware of him. At first they sort of dance around being gay: can a male BL mangaka and a male BL editor be straight? Well turns out they did think they were straight before, but after having sex with each other, Satoru decides yeah maybe they're both bi.
• I really like how Chiaki Kashima always allows their characters to exist in a queer space and use labels that identify them as occupying that queer space. This book is much more recent than the Akihabara Falling Love one and the characters are slightly older (Hasegawa is 26. Masumi is 33 and Satoru is 27), so the words they use aren't insults. Hasegawa wonders if he's a 'homo' but Masumi and Satoru only ever use 'gay'.
Satoru debuts, but the chief editor comments on how Satoru's works lack the ~kyun~ quality of Boy's Love, so Masumi tries to help Satoru figure out how to get that ~kyun~
They agree to go on a date and end up going all the way, but Satoru just doesn't understand. He's dated women before but he barely felt anything for them. He doesn't understand what love means.
Masumi suggests they live together and Satoru agrees.
So this is like. Satoru is obviously a fudanshi: he goes out and collects BL material. He thinks in fudanshi terms (I find the extra chapter really cute where he wants to try and be the seme). We don't see it physically like we did in the Akihabara story with Ayumu's piles of anime figures because we barely see anything of Satoru's personal life, but the way he thinks and approaches the whole date thing is defo very fudanshi. I think it's interesting to approach the whole romance thing from an otaku perspective*, but I've already read the 2nd volume and I know the story is not about that. Anyway, it's still an interesting angle.
*Honestly I didn't realise I was aromantic until much later because the whole 'Otaku only like 2D' idea is so pervasive (at least in the spaces I move around) and I thought that was just it. Is there a correlation between me being an ota and being aromantic? Who knows. Maybe it's because aromantic people have all the extra energy for hobbies.
Other things I liked:
• Neither of them are pretty 😂 Both of them defo have that 男らしい look, and it's only how Masumi frames Satoru from his POV that makes him look sexy. But for the most part, neither of them are what I'd call your BL pretty boy.
• Masumi is the same age as me (at the time of writing), and honestly it's always nice to see older people in romance stories.
• Pacing and foreshadowing is pretty good. We even get an explanation of how the Akiba brothers got to be so... like that 😂
It didn't quite hit my happy buttons like 「俺と上司とかくしごと」did, but I still enjoyed myself a lot.

This is the second time I've read a work by Kashima-sensei. Although it's been a while since I last read one of their works, I remember enjoying it, but this time I found it even more enjoyable.
The story is about an unexpected relationship between an editor and a writer. It's told in a simple way, with lots of comedy here and there. Honestly, it’s such a fun read—right from the first chapter, I was laughing out loud at the main character’s antics. This is definitely the kind of manga you can reread without getting overly emotional, haha.

Man. This hurt a lot. Liked the slow burn. But I wish the last chapter wasn’t so quick. Or maybe it just felt quick. It was like 8 chapters, which is a lot for a yaoi, but somehow the ending still felt rushed. But still liked it for how relatable and adult the characters were.

This is a sequel to Akibahara Fall in Love and adds in new stories of the first couple, which is much appreciated since the first book felt rushed near the end. Also expands on why the ML has abandonment issues and what this did to his personality.

Leer esta pareja me mata. Desde el principio cae enamorado el editor, pero el otro no. Es algo rarito, pero desde la historia del hermano del mangaka se veía curioso cómo se tomaba las cuestiones de trabajo.

2.5 stars
The premise is cute but this doesn’t make for a pairing I’m rooting for. I like the mangaka/editor dynamic. I even like that the editor falls first, but the mangaka seems content to have had literally anyone model for him. There’s no real relationship between them in this story.

The mangaka is just soooo single minded. Everything is for his manga so he either doesn't realised he's being played or he does not care.
I do agree with other reviewers that they're very one dimensional.
