Red Theatre

Complete | OGAWA Chise | 2000 released

Chapter 2 (7 October 2016) Dark, so dark. The uke will do anything to make the shoes be the top in fashion industry. He even whores himself out to old geezers, so that he will be able to put big ad at many places. He wears heels everywhere even tho they pain him. But the seme seems so oblivious. Not oblivious actually, he seems like he doesn't care. All uke did for him, but he will never be with him. Such a heartbreaking story. But still, it's Ogawa Chise, so I'm looking forward for more. EDIT: Chapter 2 is here. I like it more than the first one. Started by Adam's background that is so fucked up. He was chosen by Julia to be the "hidden" designer of the shoes. It's really making me scared, especially the scene when that paparazzi gets a hold on Iouri. Iouri was so panicked he was afraid if Adam would be disappointed. He whore himself, but fortunately was found by Adam. Really, their relationship was so fucked up. But so good. I don't know why. 4 3 2 3.5

Middle School, Third Year

Complete | NAKAMURA Asumiko | 2000 released

Chapter 1 (25 September 2014) Summary: There is a pervert in the male restroom in the book-store. Beware! This one shot is ... something else. I thought it was kind of prostitution in school life, but actually the one who sucked one's dick was the one who gave the money. It was like ... We got sucked and we got paid. The uke was the one who sucked the dick, while, one day, the seme found him out. He then was offered by the uke, who would pay him 10,000 yen per service. Then every day they did it, until one day, seme asked the uke to jerk off in front of him. The uke did, and then when they finished, the uke gave the money, saying "This is the last time." The seme snapped and got angry. He then forced the uke to explain where the hell had he gotten the money. The tearing-uke answered that he had stolen. So the seme gave all the money back and said that he never used it. Even without the money, he would always be with the uke. So the last scene was a bit dramatic. The seme pinned uke down on the table while money spreading on the floor. Nice. 2.5 2.5 3 3

Red Moon

Complete | Kaori Yuki | 2000 released

Chapter 1 (20 March 2012) Summary: A psychotic gay cannibalistic vampire murderer in love and with moon issues. Did you really expect anything else from Kaori Yuki? One of her earliest works. I didn't really understand the plot. Really. Everything was so vague whether the uke or the seme was the vampire, or the hunter, or the psychopath. It's just that the seme said the word "You're the only one for me" to every one. So, the uke, out of jealousy, stabbed him even though later he regretted it and begged him to come back. Later on, the seme revived deliberately. Then, they started a serious relationship. But it was a matter of time until the uke lost his control, and became a monster. Just a matter of time. The art is average, the plot was so damn confusing. The characterization was terrible. And yeah, no enjoyment even though it has my favorite title: Red Moon. Like the song from Kalafina. But damn, this manga should have been as good quality as the song. 3 2 1.5 2

Takaya buys some sex toys... The ukes in this manga were really crazy. All of them loved sex so much that their personalities changed drastically during sex because of the intense feelings. Their smiles crept me out so much, just like some yandere. But the sex scenes were great. So fucking hot even though the dicks were censored. I think I need more uke like this but not this extreme. The way they smiled was so creepy. However, the art is super beautiful. I like it a lot. 5 3.5 3.5 4

At the End of the Road

Complete | Haribo | 2016 released

Chapter 35.5 (5 June 2017) It's so fucking good. I love the MC since he's an uke but strong as fuck. Yes, I can understand that he's (Taemin) is kinda a seme since he does boxing thingy. I can't wait to read the next chapters. It was so good that I read it only in some fucking mere minutes. Anyway, the seme, that white-haired dude is a hell similar to Viktor Nikiforov from Yuri on Ice. EDIT: Now Si Won is called MAD DOG since he's tough and unbeatable. But... his grades are falling and now Si Woon is appointed to teach him! Things gonna be soooo interesting! EDIT: Taemin has his suspicion on Si Woon and it's gonna be suuuper exciting. EDIT: The bonus is so darn cute meow!! 4.5 4.5 4.5 5

Never Understand

Complete | Bbong | 2013 released

Chapter 71 (16 November 2016) It's reaaaally good. I've read it marathon since yesterday and it's totally worth it. I love the art since it's pretty and simple and also cute. The characters are all interesting (Especially Yuri, dammit, my new husbando!). The plot is quite complex but not over complicated so I could read it calmly and peacefully until the most recent chapter. I love how Yuri and Jaerim build their relationship oh-so-naturally and it doesn't even give any weird feeling. They're just so perfect for each other (even though Jaerim could be so annoying sometimes). Other slight pairings are cute too. For examples that cute otaku guy and that redhead delinquent. They're so cute and their story is also breathtaking and heartbreaking. So glad they finally get back together. And then there's this ex-school president and Jeehoo's brother. That's an unexpected combination and their relationship seems confusing yet painful. Jeehoo's brother is a "free" guy, isn't attached to someone and do whatever he likes. Yet I could sense something from him. I dunno. Oh well... now I remember the name is Dunno xD (no pun intended). The other pairing is that flashy handsome guy with that archery sunbae. A bit strange since basically they are only attracted to each other by looks. But not bad. I like them still. Oh well... someone said this manhwa resembles to Aitsu no Daihonmei. But in my opinion, this manhwa is way better and more realistic than that. It's not even forced and their relationship is just so natural as ever. Oh, anyway. I think the rating should be higher, at least this is no longer considered as shounen ai since there are several scenes that are too much. Kissing is alright, but French kissing and making out is something else. But, whatever. I love it so much, and I hope this will not be taken down. EDIT: Damn it chapter 71 is really killing me! I fucking hate Yuri now he's a fucking bastard! How dare he hurt Jaerim like tham OMG my baby is crying. The fuck with him telling them "ugly people who teamed up together" damn, and he accuses Jaerim of stealing his belongings. I just hope that new guy is there being a comfort to him. Damn Jaerim really needs to be protected and loved! 4 5 4.5 5

Blood Bank

Complete | silb | 2015 released

Chapter 44 (25 November 2016) BDSM... not really to my liking. Well, even though the uke is just like Laurent from my imagination, I couldn't bring myself to watch him suffer. One is really cruel. I'm not sure that's just a trait from a Sadist, but he's treating Shell so bad. I just want to slap him. Shell needs more love, though he's abnormal. Just show him some pure love and adore him dammit! EDIT: I want to take back my words on One. He's awesome! His S&M relationship with Shell is actually only fetish, but they're actually developing feelings for each other. I love seeing him caring so much for Shell's being, it's just so romantic. Oh, I also feel bad for Cinderella boy who had to be killed by that Jack the Ripper. And damn you Humpty thingy you should die a miserable death! How could you trick One--Eric to come with you and later get killed? I hope Shell will save him. I'm hurt a little when I saw them parting. Well... they finally kissed. And then had sex--or made love to be exact. I love it when they are gentle to each other. Ah I hope they'll be happy. They deserve it so badly dammit. Oh by the way, I've changed the score. It's hella better than what I expected. EDIT: A new chapter was so hot. The sex scene, though it was fake--only a dream, was still sexy and hella satisfying. But it was quite sad for Eric to have become the cause of his own father's death. That Humpty Dumpty something is so damn annoying. EDIT: Damn I'm not ready for the feels! EDIT: Damn you all of you. How could you play with my heart like this? Jack killed Eric's father, leaving him in terror and hatred towards vampires. And now they forced Eric to produce more pheromone by making him come countless times. Damn you. I feel so sad when he cried. And that hag, what do you mean by Eric is gonna die today? 4 5 4.5 5

Royal Servant

Complete | MasterGin,Chungnyun | 2016 released

Chapter 38 Interesting. The seme is hot while the uke is cute and a bit like Kuroko xD EDIT: This is better than what I had expected. But... the only thing that still disturbs me is that the uke is so "willing" to give his all for the seme, while the seme seems like doesn't give a fuck about him. I want to see the seme suffer so damn much. Oh, the side couple is cute too. I forgot the name, but they are more healthy than the first couple. Damn, I need this in my life. EDIT: Loved it. Love the angst train and the plot twist My heart hurts but it feels good. Art: 4 Storyline: 5 Characters: 4 Enjoyment: 5

Deadlock

Ongoing | Takashina Yuu,aida saki | 2011 released

Chapter 7.5 Yuuto Lenix was framed of a false accusation of killing his investigator partner; he was sent to a jail. He met several inmates and got Dick as a cellmates. So far, it's quite interesting, but painfully slow burn. Hope to see more development of the characters and the plot. EDIT: When the plans go wrong... 5 | 3.5 | 3.5 |3.5
