Into The Blue Water
same artist as ODD LOVE!! kinda messed up. uke used to date seme's sister. but after uke got into an accident and got short term memory loss, sis broke up with him and left. but seme has always loved uke, so he stayed and takes care of uke. we go through their typical week together, but then at the end of the week, uke doesn't forget. he actually remembers everything that happened the previous week. seme is scared and runs off. uke finds him and they get together for real.
By Chance? Huh!
weird shit. rabbit uke raises wolf seme when seme is separated from is family. then as seme matures he goes into heat wanting uke. they do it. and then another baby wolf joins then and they him in like their son...... meh story. don't like characters that much. but nothing wrong with it....
Tasty Part-time jobs are twofold
uke is poor and in uni with multiple part time jobs. seme sees him working at conbini and wants him to work as seme's model. seme is art prof at the uni. uke agrees for the pay and meal benefits. but every time they meet up, seme sexually assaults him..... fucking old school yaoi logic of assaulting the uke until the uke just likes the seme back......
Dangerous Convenience Store
this is so fucking sweet. i can kinda understand why it's so popular, but i still think most of the popularity is from the memes and the sex. the story is honestly quite basic and kinda shallow. 12 year age gap. starts off with uke being 24 i think? seme randomly just falls in love with uke, who is working the night shift at a convenience store and living next door to seme. never explained why seme moved in next to uke and rented out all the 3 other units in the building aside from uke's unit.... they kinda become sex friends, but seme is always frank and clear that he likes uke. i think this is quite rare and refreshing to see, so that definitely contributes to seme's popularity. and uke is just a cute puppy who doesn't let shit get him down or wallow in his own sorrows. anyway, things are going really well between them. i like both characters a lot. but then shit goes down with seme's gang business shit. not explained at all lol. and then uke hears over the phone seme beating someone up. uke is shocked. seme comes trying to explain himself but ofc uke pushes him away. honestly uke is a really good balance of soft and strong. after that shit goes down with seme's gang business and he has to lie low so he is no contact with uke for 3-4 years. he comes back suddenly and tries really hard to casually keep meeting uke. ofc uke is worn down despite trying to say he doesn't want to meet seme anymore. so they have sex and then get back together and uke admits he has always liked seme. seme ofc feels the same and they are super sweet together. despite the simple story where nothing about seme's gang business is explained and basically nothing happens in the story outside of what affects our MCs, the focus on the relationship is done super well and worth it. seme is respectful but still coming on strong to uke to get what he wants. uke is soft hearted, but knows where to draw a line when things aren't right and can handle shit for himself. they are two independent individuals who match each other so well. it just feels like they genuinely love each other for who the other person is. their romance is basic, nothing extravagant happening to woo each other, just sex, but their feelings are so deep and well expressed. can't say enough about it lol they are just the cutest together. mature but sweet.
Midnight Training Hour
host and ex-host. ex-host uke trains seme on how to be a good host by developing his sexual/romantic side?? idk bad story, just bad sex here. uke has some drama with another dude cuz apparently other dude revealed uke is gay before and that's why uke had to quit being a host.
His Little Amber
this is told in a flashback. 20 years ago seme picked up a cat from under his car. turns out the car is uke, who can transform between leopard and human. in 5 years he grows up to be like teenager sized. and he has his first heat, where he needs seme to jerk him off. after that he realizes he likes seme and confesses, but seme is not reciprocating cuz he thinks of uke like a kid. then there's some drama about uke actually being an angel and that's why he could turn into a leopard, but that was just part of his punishment. now his punishment is over and his bro is here to bring him back to heaven. but uke doesn't want to go. in the end he goes cuz seme thinks that's what's for the best. but then he hears that seme is dying cuz he got into some nasty gang stuff and uke off to save seme instead of going to heaven. he loses his wings as a result and turns human. then they get together and 15 years pass and we're back to the present where they're still together. honestly okay story, but the whole angel thing is so random.... seme also used to have a wife but she died. he lives with some guilt that he caused her death, but she just died in a car accident on the way to him.
Ore to Renai Shitemimasenka
cute story of adults meeting and dating and having sex. very traditional relationship progression, just a natural everyday story. seme had noticed uke some years before at the coffee shop he works at. uke comes back after his divorce and seme accidentally spills water on uke. seme makes it very obvious he likes uke and uke notices. seme asks uke out and uke is kinda hesitant but agrees to a date. after that they go on a date and enjoy it and uke opens up more. he used to have huge expectations for love, but realized just normally spending days together is love too. it's very sweet and a good message. then seme is worried about how to go further with uke cuz he thinks uke might not want it. but uke is open to it when seme brings it up and honestly uke was kinda thinking about it too. so they do it. and then a cute domestic extra of them shopping for some furniture.
LOVE & HATE (Takagi Ryou)
40 yr uke, 30 yr seme. uke is failing private detective. seme is in special police forces. apparently they met many years ago when seme was still in school and his dad hired uke to investigate his mom's affair. after that seme kinda hated uke cuz it led to his parents' divorce, but he also kinda liked uke cuz he fell for uke's face... now he's hiring uke as an excuse to get over his crush on uke. but he doesn't get over it, it just gets more severe. he lures uke in with food cuz uke is so poor and they kinda get together, but uke is too tsundere to admit it.
Gokutora no Honey Bunny
really well-written and well drawn, but just not really for me. not into these no-violence ukes lol but it didn't feel that annoying here. uke also too shy and quiet for me. his face also kinda uggo.... age gap of 7 years, older uke. uke and seme first met when uke was 13 and seme was 6. seme had come over from the town over cuz his father was the yakuza boss and got killed due to internal fighting. so he and his mom were lying low in uke's town. uke is friendly with seme and seme is happy to know uke and become friends. when it's time for seme to go back home, he asks uke to become a family with him in the future and uke cluelessly accepts, thinking like they will be brothers for life lol. 12 years later, seme is 18 and comes back to uke's town. he makes it obvious right away he wants to date uke and marry. uke is shy and not sure. there's some yakuza drama like the gang of this town not happy to see seme hanging around their territory. so they kidnap uke and then trash his shop when seme rescues uke and beats up the guys who kidnapped uke. here uke was like violence so bad, violence begets violence... seme feels bad and goes home for a while, but after talking to his uncle, the acting boss while seme is still young, he realizes he needs to go talk to the other gang boss. so he goes and talks and at first the other boss is rude and unreceptive to talking, but then his dad, who was the previous boss, comes out and says let bygones be bygones cuz he likes seme and his dad before. after that things seem to be solved and seme and uke go on a date. uke confesses his feelings for seme back. then we see them together happily and then having sex first time.
