BRUH THIS IS SOOO SWEET AND CUTE. PLUS THE ART IS KILLER, THIS MANGAKA IS A PRO AT DRAWING BODIES FROM 1000 DIFFERENT ANGLES AND THOSE EXPRESSIONS ARE GREAT. ALSO JUST LOVE THIS KUUDERE UKE AND THE AGGRESSIVE BUT RESPECTFUL SEME. WTF EVERYTHING IS SOOO GOOD!!!!!! very simple premise, but excellent execution. wolf squad of seme's sets eyes on a new bunny at uni, but gets stopped by his friend, uke. in the process of stopping seme, uke gets scratched. seme feels bad and later approaches uke to let uke scratch him as pay back. but uke says no need, then when seme insists on repaying, uke asks to touch seme's wolf ears. uke is a human. so as he's caressing them, seme gets really into it and leans in, kissing uke. then he just turns around and walks off lol. next day he asks uke to meet him after classes and there seme kisses him full on for real. confirms that he's got feelings for uke and from then on openly pursues uke. uke's rabbit friend is there trying to block seme but uke is pretty open to seme's advances and slips away from the rabbit to follow seme lol. uke is also getting interested in seme and goes to library to read up about wolf beasts and stuff like this. he decides he'll get to know him more before making a decision. he accepts when seme asks him out to eat and they get to know each other so cutely!!!!!! then uke asks seme out next time cuz uke wants to confirm if he's really interested or not. and ofc by the end, his conclusion is that he is interested lol cuz he's found all these cute aspects of seme that he likes. after the date seme invites him home and uke actually agrees, much to seme's surprise. then they have fucking hot bestiality sex where seme's penis grows a bulge lmao. very cute, they come out to their supportive friends and uke asks seme out again. LOVE TO SEE BOTH PARTIES INTO EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!!!AHHHHHH THESE CHARACTERS ARE AMAZING. and then they have sex again lmao. LOVED IT!!

super cute story, lovable characters, especially innocent seme. uke is gay but trying hard to repress that. he gets dumped by his gf and has aquarium tickets he has no use for. he gives it to the class marine biology crazy guy, seme. seme takes it as an invitation for both of them to go to the aquarium and so they go. seme knows like everything and gives uke a tour of the aquarium. then every sunday they go to a different aquarium and it's super cute. uke realizes he likes seme and has been having erotic dreams of sea life and seme. he gets hard looking at a starfish and runs home. after that he tells seme he can't go to the aquarium with him anymore cuz he's busy studying for exams. seme is super sad and the chem teacher talks to uke about how seme is depressed. uke goes to apologize and tell seme he likes seme so he knows the reason uke's been avoiding him. seme takes it easily and confesses back. then they go to seme's house and have sex while watching fish sex lol. super cute overall, even made me cry with the last bit uke avoiding seme and then confessing. not sure it's deserving of best tag, but i can't find anything to complain about.

this was very sweet, as expected due to its acclaim. loved it until the end note where the author said maybe they break up lol............wtf.......why would she say that and ruin the fantasy..... anyway so as title says, uke goes back home after being fired from job in tokyo. he hasn't lived in the countryside in 10 years cuz he went to high school in tokyo too. he's 25 when story starts and like 27 when story ends. it takes them like 1.5-2 years to get together. seme was an orphan who got adopted by an older couple when he was in high school. not long after, the old lady died so he's doing a lot to help the grandpa. he's super friendly because that's the front he's learned to survive in the world. he didn't have a family for so long, he just had to smile to make people not pity him i think was the reasoning. overall very realistic story and feelings portrayed. so right away seme is friendly to uke even though uke is kinda prissy cuz uke's mom has been telling seme all about uke for a long time. seme sees that uke is not really mad, he's just embarrassed and hiding behind anger. so fucking relatable it's sad bruh. the story really just shows their normal life in the village, but both supporting each other during critical moments. like when seme's adoptive father collapsed, when uke confronted his dad about taking over the family business despite not knowing much and saying he hated it before, and seme going to tokyo to see if there's info on his birth parents. uke pretty much realizes his feelings for seme 1 year into his return. but nobody says anything and seme is not sure he can feel love since he's never known it before and didn't have role models to see close to him. also seme kinda puts a wall around him whenever someone brings up topics related to his past. so that's why uke is not sure where he stands with seme. one night seme is sleeping over at uke's house and uke kisses him on the forehead. seme at the time didn't really know what it was, but he kinda figured it out later that it was uke giving him a kiss. and slowly seme also decides he can open up to uke about his past and finally let uke in. so a year after the kiss happened, they're sleeping together again at a hotel in tokyo and seme just openly confronts uke about it. he asks why uke did that last summer and uke is openly saying cuz he likes seme and it's a very straight forward realistic scene! seme ofc is not sure he can reciprocate uke's feelings, but uke is okay with that and they just sleep holding each other. next day they're heading home after seme visits the park where he was abandoned and on the train seme kisses uke cuz i think he's confirmed that he wants to be with uke. uke was such a great support for him during his trip of self discovery to tokyo. last chapter we see them cutely spending new year together and some villagers totally okay with them while some are gossiping ofc.

omg this was so good!! i loved it so much, especially that sweet pain of misunderstanding angst here. tagged slow relationship though it's not entirely accurate. uke searching for love on an app after getting dumped. he is drunk and puts his fav manga as his pic and put female as his gender. he matches with seme who's the manga's author and is gay but matching with women to get info for his manga. when they meet, uke is disappointed and about to go home, but seme reveals he's the manga's artist and uke gets super interested in him. they spend they day and drink and then seme takes him to a hotel cuz uke threw up. they kiss and seme is going in, but uke cries and seme respects him lol. this whole story has super respectful sex. it's so out of the ordinary for this to happen that it felt really weird lmao. then they keep meeting cuz seme knows uke wants to hear and see more about the manga creation and stuff. but seme is super burnt out and the manga goes on hiatus. uke helps him to recuperate and they get closer. uke eventually realizes he's fallen for seme and wants to be with him, not just cuz seme's his fav author. they keep having non penetrative sex and uke gets into it as well. but they never really confirmed their relationship cuz seme was thinking uke might not like him cuz uke was originally straight. and uke then sees a draft of seme's new work, which is based on their relationship. uke starts thinking seme is just using him for material like what he was trying to do with girls before. and uke gets so fucking sad, but he keeps going with the relationship cuz he genuinely likes seme now and wants to stay with him even if it's just to be useful for seme's work. then one night seme invites him to a fancy restaurant for dinner. seme presents uke his new bl manga and is super happy to show uke. uke starts crying and thinks this might mean seme doesn't need him anymore. but seme hugs him and is like no way, who said that. all the misunderstanding is unravelled and they hug and kiss and make up. seme formally asks uke to be his lover and uke accepts with a kiss. then i love this author for this, we get a whole chapter showing them together and how that's like instead of just an extra. they have penetrative sex for the first time and seme reveals it's his first time doing it, and ofc uke too. super sweet. this story was low on the smut, but super lovely!!!!!!!!!!

wow fucking incredible. best shoujo i've ever read?!?! amazing art and story. cried several times with how touching it is. none of that girly shit here. fl is actually a strong lady who knows what she wants and is mature and respectful. not hating on the other guys or thinking she's better like some supposedly strong fl act. so fl comes from family of rice farmers and wants a bf who can suit her. lots of guys like and confess to her but they're weird and too soft in her opinion. so the rice goddess comes and gives her a chance to meet the guy who is her soulmate. first she travels 2.5 million years and meets a dude. he helps protect her and stuff and dies doing it. then she comes back to present. then she is sent like 800k years into the past and meets another dude and she realizes this is the same as the first dude, just in a different time. they have same birthmark. she falls into a crack after volcanic eruption and comes back. last time she gets sent 3000 years into the past and there she meets the dude again and this time they can actually communicate. she helps the village with rice farming and they trust her. she marries the guy and they live 10 years together lol before she dies of an illness. she comes back to the present once again. and at this point the reincarnation of ml comes up to her cuz he sees her crying. they figure out ml's dreams were actually memories from his past life. ml is an otaku nerd dude and he loves this rice harvesting anime girl lol. anyway, we see them get married and all the other guys come to their wedding and they have a cute daughter later. ml becomes an agricultural scientist and they work to improve the rice crop. cute extra showing them on their first date. goddess sends them back in time to help ml overcome his nervousness. all the past mls and fl gather together in the dinosaur age. then ml comes back and in the scare started holding fl's hand lol. i guess that helped him get over the nervousness.

SO FUCKING AMAZING. sorry been a while since finished. seme is super popular and just agrees to date anyone who asks. but his condition is his partner can't mind when he plays with other people. usually the girls say ok and then get annoyed by it after a few months. uke has always admired seme and when he hears the latest girl break up with seme, he goes to ask seme to go out. seme agrees ofc. uke is super casual about things and they slowly go on dates and stuff. there's a girl who keeps hanging of off seme and uke just pretends he doesn't see her cuz that was the terms of their dating agreement and uke doesn't believe seme will ever love him. he's just happy to spend time with seme likes this. and ofc seme ends up falling for uke and doesn't even realize. he starts questioning why uke isn't jealous about things and stuff like this lol. honestly super sweet and loved both these characters. they talk things out and seem real, despite the totally unrealistic set-up. description probably not doing it justice right now.

this is so good as a school life fun read. nothing too deep here, but adorable characters and beautiful art chap 1 starts off with them already in a relationship and seme wanting to do it with uke. seme is school council president and uke a delinquent blondie. they're in third year high school and different classes. uke runs away from sex but then approaches seme about it when he's prepared and ready. i think it's great how both sides obviously love the other and aren't afraid to express their feelings. great communication and nobody is crazy having unrealistic jealousy or fits. then in second chap we see the story of how they got together. in second year, teacher asked seme to talk to uke to make uke come to school more. seme is annoyed and just doing it a bit out of obligation so he can say he did it, but then he realizes uke is super cute and wants to get to know him more. so slowly his bothering uke turns them kinda into friends and he spends a lot of time with uke. he even helps uke over the summer to complete their homework. and when uke falls ill and can't turn in the hw, he goes to uke's house to pick them up and bring back to the school. uke's mom is so cute and sweet too. and then at the end of second year, they find out they're going to different classes next year and seme is sad about it. realizes he doesn't want to be apart from uke and confesses. says if uke doesn't hate it it or fight him, he wants them to go out together. and uke doesn't fight so i guess automatic acceptance of dating. then we see them in third year, sneaking around to meet and stuff. seme getting jealous that uke's not jealous he's going to karaoke with friends. but then turns out it's a goukon type party and uke is working at that karaoke place so he does get a bit jealous lol and seme is happy and doesn't push it too far, leaving early. then they get found out having sex at school by some dude who kinda liked seme in admiration but is fine to give up. but this dude under pressure told another guy who was looking for seme. this other guy has a crush on uke and wants them to break up. he confronts uke about the relationship and says uke can count on him to talk about anything. uke's too nice lol and believes him. so uke asks for advice on how to help seme during exam season. uke doesn't want to interfere with seme's academics and future. this dude obviously gives bad advice like telling uke to stay away from seme lol. and it does cause a small rift between them cuz uke uses excuses to stay away from seme and seme is hurt. then he seems uke talking with the other guy and uke won't tell seme what they were talking about, so seme is hurt again. they stop talking for a while after that, cuz uke thinks seme is mad and seme was wanting uke to contact him and exams are happening, so uke doesn't want to disturb seme. idk but no contact until exams end, then seme receives a text from the other guy. this whole time it was sort of implied the guy liked seme, but it's revealed he actually likes uke and he calls seme is love rival lol. uke shows up and and ofc says no he doesn't like this guy cuz he likes seme and they kiss in front of him. i think this is the first time uke's confessed his feelings like this. seme was indeed feeling a little insecure cuz he realized the way they started dating was kinda forced by him lol. anyway, then we see them graduate high school and seme received news he got into his uni of choice and all this good stuff. very cute story overall. i would not say it truly touched me, but it's just excellent quality all around.
