Tai's manga / #BL(107)

fairly sweet. nothing amazing. some elements of dubcon in their first sexual encounter but totally consensual in all following sex scenes. (of which there are few). i actually read this one back on renta before it got uploaded here. tbh its not rly worth buying but it is worth reading (rent it!). its just very breezy and light. nice way to kill like 30 mins or less lol.

this would've been alot better without the sudden shift into fantasy elements and this poor kid's enitre mistfortune being because of his childohod buddy who has a crush on him and instead of oh idk telling him deciding to use BLACK MAGIC to make his life hell, constantly endanger his safety and isolate everyone from him (also risking those random people's lives and safety as well) and the consequences for this are? main dude wont be his friend anymore i giss? yo...what the fuck. anyway the ACTUAL romance here is so sweet and pure and it almost single handedly makes me want to forgive everything else wrong with the story. and there is SO much wrong with let me tell u. ahem anyway 3 stars for adorable love story and minus 2 stars for NONSENSE. i love fantasy and but hoo boy was this poorly integrated into the plot in an organic way and also feels like kind of a cop out tbh.

this story does some interesting thigns and im always here for an author who like TRIES something u know? instead of just the usual cliches. but yes you should read this asap. if u like omegaverse its a pretty darn thoughtful and dare i say critical? take on it. its deconstructive of alot of its popular tropes. tbh omegaverse has its usually presented makes little sense to me from a biological or even evo-psycho lens. rape isnt good for propagating the species. i cant beliieeeve i have to say that. the way rut makes alphas turn into violent slavering beasts is...nonsense. however the story does seem to think that IS messed up and approaches it seriously enough. and its also very romantic. there isnt that much sex in it but it is def a Mature title. but thats why i didnt add the smut tag. cause its not. it did manage to wring some tears out of me and thats not easy to do so. worth a read for sure. but yeah the twist in the first half of the story (and the changes in POV in the second half) really justify its existence alrdy even if the execution had been subpar (and imo it wasnt). so yes go forth and read!

the only good thing about this sex filled cartoon of a story is how hot the tan guy is. so tan. so hot. such a terrible person~

the sex is hot but like super rape-y and the story itself is bizare and ofc no one is acting like any actual teen student would but this feels very Anime in that regard. everything just heightened up to 11. i do like the pretty top with masculine bottom trope tho ngl. (and the icy distant bottom with the fluffy devoted dog like top trope) and this story has BOTH so. for that alone. 2 stars! i dont recommend it unless u have those fetishes or just want a quick smutty read before bed. u can def do worse than this.

rented this on renta like ages ago but it only appeared on here recently so now i get to review it~ anyway its nice. it didnt blow me away or anything. this creator is good at making things that are thoughtful and down to earth and straight forward love stories. erotic but not smutty tbh. its def not porn. but its not shounen ai either. its very grown up stuff and its a good BL for those that want a story about an actual relationship and love and people instead of just...two hotties fucking. (tho nothing wrong with that tbh haha. do what u gotta do to get ur swerve on i say~). anyway the thing i like most about this lady's works is her art tho! she has another series she released a couple months ago that i want to read too. hopefully soon?

its very silly but cute. it is Problematic but i wouldnt call it dubcon just cause both enjoy whats happening at all times but its still like....inappropriate behavior sooooo. also thats not what a pigeon chest looks like. anyway megan chan the bottom has a complex about his juicy manboobs and meanwhile black haired trainer top is super into boobs but not women's boobs and finally found the Perfect Boobs when he meets megane neko and uh very questionable but sexy hijinks ensue. and their love story is very cute albeit again very silly and not too memorable tbh. so yeah 2 stars but not cause it upset me or anything it just doesnt have too much going for it tbh. (tbfi dont think its trying to be serious at all even the more "serious" moments seem heightened in a way to intentionally draw laughter from the reader)

just started this. its up to 20 chpts on tapas and im reading up to chpt 6 so far. the opening chpts are such a misdirect their coupling is so beautiful and reciprocal and SEXY right now i cant handle it. ofc angst will find them eventually but im hoping for a happy (ish?) ending and i do love that the bottom is this tall button up sort where the top is notably shorter but also notably more muscular has the CUTEST dimples and curely dark hair like...isnt it nice when all the male characters dont look identical to each other? lol. also jinha is very much my type srsly them curls...them DIMPLES...ahem. anyway I love how the artist draws expressions too. also it lends real eroticism to the sex scenes which are short but impactful. the coloring reminds me a bit of Wolf in the House (another great love story with a beautiful fluid art style). EDIT: finished! i loved it from start to end and its very good. all the Angst is purely based on emotions and perceptions and the main character's anxiety. i will say that holding what happened in highschool against his boyfriend well into their 20s? late 20s? seems weird. like they were kids. even if he was "toying" with him back then (and in fact jinha never really says he was? nor that he wasnt? just that those memories were precious for him and he regrets not confessing back then) what a kid does isnt rly going to feed into how an adult acts..tho part of the issue is def these guys jumped RIGHT into a romantic sexual relationship before trying to like...get to know each other at all. so i did feel that the foundation of the relationship being unstable makes perfect sense. just that his reasons were a bit odd to me. (but i like that the story emphasises how they rly havent spoken about their past or their feelings, just that they are into each other and now they are dating which allowed anxiety to fester into hwane until he freaks out and indirectly breaks up with jinha.) the breakup while frustrating felt necessary and the ending is very happy and satisfying! (i do wish we'd gotten more of jinha's inner monologue as well tho). i also like that altho it seemed like Ina, Blonde hottie and friendly Boss guy all could have been obstacles to the romance (and in fact almost seemed set up to be..) they turned out ot all be generally good people with no real malicious intentions and any issues with the couple was entirely because of themselves and no other outside force. looooved that! just a pretty mature thougthful love story and those are my fave.

alot better than i thought it would be. Kirin the main guy is so pretty and thats why i picked this up tbh. i expected the other main guy to be far more cruel and vicious and while he is a certified psychopath and a bit (or alot lol) rough in bed...he's surprisingly one of the uh nicer Problematic Tops in the darker end of the BL genre. (hell he still cares more about consent than the leads of POTN, YTC, LTWW or even LIAI all popular BL comics with asshole ish tops obv in varying degrees of horrible and 2 of them are supposed to be like romcoms more than dramas and yet....annnnnd yet). anyway if u like ur BLs dark and ~psychological~ and very sexual then i dare say u came to the right place.
