Share with me - what grinds your gears in yaoi? I don't mean small things like "I don't vibe with love triangles" Like the stuff you've had a proper think about. Because I'm weird and think too much:

For me it's a stupid, obviously illegal or illogical situation that makes me go 'what fkn society is this character living in?' - e.g., some kid being forced to pay off huge loans for a hospital bill or gambling debt they didn't wrack up. And like immediately being forced into sex work?!

Why doesn't this person have access to social services, the police....support?! You could even declare bankruptcy first.These stories are usually set in developed countries, so I find it weird. And no, ofc art doesn't have to follow reality. I just think its lazy story telling. If I were to guess its to do with weird stand in hyper heteronormative roles of yaoi i.e., one partner being weaker, stupid and vulnerable and the other the strong more powerful """""provider""""""" (see, ABO and the madonna whore complex, but this is another discussion lol).

I think its just my age haha and my profession which makes me look at these things as abit ridiculous, and sure there are stories which qualify the above but break the mould and loads of other great romances and plot lines. But yeah, what's everyone else's issues.

    Incest. And it’s crazy how some ppl romanticise that, not even step siblings but actual blood related mfs, recently replied to a weirdo obviously with a few screws missing so I’m reallyyyy looking forward to their brain dead response..

    Misunderstanding, e.g ., in ABO seme says to uke that he doesn't want children , so when the uke found out that his pregnant he will run away so to protect the child... But actually the seme doesn't want children bc it'll be bad for the uke or that he just want to spend more time with uke before having children..

    It's predictable but still annoying ಠωಠ

    Yesss totally, haha you've sparked me up again. Incest between close family members is almost a universal taboo. I think it kinda links back to my post, like authors are so removed from the reality of what these things really mean or how they impact people.

    I'm sure consensual incestuous relationships exist - but the vast majority of people who experience it have to survive it - because they are mostly often enduring horrific child sexual abuse. Which like fkn fucks you up and ISN'T A CUTE PLOT LINE.

okay looking for a manga where these two boys we're in love, or had a thing in high school. Or at least unrequited love.

For whatever reason it doesn't work out - but skip to years later they meet up, but seme has memories from when he was in a relationship with this girl (who I think had a daughter he ended up raising BUT idk if I've mixed this but up from another manga). She ends up dying, but I in a flash back she mentions how he always loved the uke.

    If it helps, I remember the girl had short hair and she was a very ~cool sort of chick, like go with the flow fun personality.
    I'm also pretty sure uke was really shy, and the seme tried to ignore the uke liked him

    Shy Otakuz November 14, 2020 2:45 am

    Welp I found the story that I “Think” is what you’re looking for? Sorry If It’s not it but it has some familiar scenes in the middle part. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Hallo, looking for a bl where the main dude is human and his best friend is like an important heir for some sort of magical/spiritual deer clan family.
Deer dude is in love with MC and always says so but mc is hesitant for some reason.

Hey! I've been reading the manhwa 1 plus 1 on lehzin. I've really been enjoying it. Has anybody else been reading it?

2 questions - any recommendations for something similar. Not necessarily plot wise, but just how chill and actual friends (not weird blushy cringe) the characters are.

And does anybody know if there are raws floating around?

    I think this is it.
    If you ever want to find the raws for a manga, just look it up, find the alternate titles and copy-paste that into google. You should then get the raws.

    Sure thanks, that is it.

    I'm already reading it on Lezhin - so I already knew the original version is a couple chapters ahead. I meant more raws that weren't on there - since I'm already paying for the chapters in english. I tried toonkor but couldn't find it. Thanks though!

Hey guys!
I remember reading a manga/manhwa about a MC who experiences really bad luck - his career was on the upwards, but he's had so many bad luck experiences he's stuck running his family fish shop.

This is somehow connected to a little girl, who comes from a line of women who are able to see the future of men (particularly those I think they either have a sexual or bonded relationship with?)

Her and her mother are essentially locked up by this major CEO, who uses the mum's ability to help run his company. The little girl is meant to like bond with the son of the CEO. But instead ends up I guess bonded to the MC, who hasn't seen her in years.

I know the MC is friends with the CEO's son.

If anybody knows! I literally have no idea what it could be called I read it so long ago, hope its finished by now.

Hey guys! Hoping you could help me out.

It's a manga about 2 boys who have this low-key relationship but they both don't really speak about it, but then they low key break up as the (uke?) leave for medical school overseas.

They meet up again when they're older...which I think they end up having sex. I remember the big issues being that the seme would never say outloud that he liked the uke.

If anybody could help...I remember the art being pretty! I recall the uke was quiet and reserved

Anon January 10, 2019 9:04 am

Two boys in school - one of them is a new kid (seme) randomly forced kissed mc (uke). Turns out seme is low-key a S and he likes to dominate the uke, who I *think* is a top student.

Get's the uke to his house by showing him a nude photo with the uke's face edited on (uke remarks it isn't him at all since his dick is definitely not that big). There's also a weird scene where uke remarks he's super full after they eat, so the seme literally makes him gag until he throws up - in a weird sexual way lol.

Pleaaaseeeee - it was on the main page for a while but i just forgot to save it since I didn't finish reading it.

Story about two cousins, older one puts on a super fake 'perfect/happy' persona which the younger one sees through - which pisses off the older one. Older one takes out his anger/resentment he hides on this younger cousin and they have this weird rapey/toxic sexual relationship. They low-key love each other but older one has repressed issues. You even find out older cousin raped/coerced the younger cousin in to sex - but he was like in middle school. Younger cousins loves him - sees through all his 'issues' hence why he puts up with the sexual relationship.

The kinda eventually get together at the end of the story. I *think* the younger cousin is still in high school at the end/during of the story and older cousin in late 20s.

I'm sorry it's vague, but someone please help! I remember it being really popular.

Anon December 5, 2018 8:18 am

Hey, looking for a manga except explaining out the plot line made me realise it sounds generic af, but it was so good!

Two boys in high school, MC's a bit of a ho (dark haired) sleeps around and is emotionally distant. Ends up becoming low-key friends with the other boy (long blonde hair) after he catches him having sex with their school nurse. Anyway - the main boy slowly falls in love with the other, they always hang out on the roof and he has a passion for guitar and music. Drama ensues, they don't end up together - but there's a time skip, the main boy is now in a band and the other dude is a photographer who coincidentally gets booked to do a shoot or something for the MC's band.

I'm pretty sure it got dropped, but would love to read it again it was really sweet!
