3-manen no Kareshi
scene with his dad collapsing seemed pretty unnecessary. but cute art and a cute oneshot of highschooler age gap couple even though how they fell in love didn't make sense at all.... high schooler and 32 year old man. high schooler fell in love for friend's uncle after hearing stories about him. older guy fell in love after seeing the guy working at this part time job at cafe. then his nephew brings the guy over to stay the night and they kiss and touch each other lol
Shounen to Kamikakushi
set in 1950s japan, one guy is a tengu/unidentified supernatural creature who does not age and the other guy is a reborn human. they used to know each other in their past lives. the now human used to be a monk and the now tengu used to be a child studying under him. now they meet again and sort through their feelings for each other. really beautiful storytelling all the way through. the tengu has always been watching the other guy, ever since he was born. saved him when he was 16 and leaving his mountain village to go start a new life in town. guy ended up just staying with the tengu while working a little in the town. some drama happens and stuff that makes the human dream of his past life together with the tengu. then there's some kind of notice that the place they live in is going to be developed so they move away deeper into the woods, forever away from the town. but they had some conflict about the tengu wanting the guy to live a normal life and the guy being like no i want to be with you i don't care about trying to be normal. and feeling bad that they will one day separate cuz the human will die while the tengu lives forever. such a good story even though i'm not into the supernatural stuff much.
Musuko Ga Osewa Ni Nattemasu!
8 year age gap, divorced dad with son and the kindergarten teacher. overall just a silly book where they have sex and the dad is kind of crazy. oneshot about another dad and teacher of his middle school son. this dad even more crazy about his love towards the teacher, but the teacher loves him a lot lol. then some really random short story where two guys have sex to prove their worth as butlers, but turns out it was orchestrated by one guy just so he could sleep with the other. and ending with an extra of the first story 10 years later!
Oni Ni Hatsujou
dumb guy's dad dies and his dad's past student comes to take care of him. they probably have like a 15 year age gap idk cuz never specified. the older past student used to be a delinquent and had a ton of sex. stopped cuz the dad was a teacher and told him to treasure himself more lol. so now they're living together and the younger guy, son of the dad, falls in love with the older guy. or he just knows he wants to have sex and stuff. the older guy doesn't want it, but it's revealed that he loves the other guy back, but just didn't want to betray his former teacher by having sex with his underage son lol. anyway they get over this and there's a little drama but amagi reno is usually just crack fic fun
I Want to Feel You Because I Like You
kinda weird. like a ghost and a dentist who has past trauma cuz his bf died of some illness. and the dentist could still see his bf sleeping at home, but maybe it was him hallucinating. now this other ghost is here haunting him and saying things like wanting to kiss him and be with him. they kinda go on a journey to where the ex-bf was cremated and stuff, and the ghost has sex with him. then it's revealed the ghost is actually a child's spirit, so the actual age of the ghost guy is like 5? cuz he's in preschool lol. and it just ends with the child waking up from the car accident coma, so the ghost is gone, the spirit is back in the original body, and he meets the dentist again...
Haru wa Kimi ni Sasayaku
hmm kinda disappointing considering the author's other stories. this one is a uni student and restaurant manager/chef. uni student used to play rugby before he had an injury. the manager guy used to be really promiscuous and doesn't believe in relationships or something idk. somehow the student falls in love super fast and is wooing the manager. the manager somehow likes him back but doesn't think he's good enough for the student, so keep rejecting him. they do have a sex friends relationship for a while though... and in the end the manager finally says he likes the student back, but feels so incomplete cuz manager never acts that way....he's still pretty cold and stuff :/
Shishi ni Hire
one of my favs, second time reading! it's an established relationship off the bat, but we see flashbacks of their past together. teacher and host, who used to be his delinquent student. they have an age gap of like 25 years or more, i don't even want to think about it lol. basically as a teacher, the seme teacher promised his student that he could come stay at his house whenever, since he was having problems at home. student takes up this offer several years after graduation when he's already a host. we kinda see their relationship through their interactions and through how they deal with a troubled student who currently is in the teacher's class. there are parallels between this student and the uke. uke takes care of the seme with house chores and is thinking about doing nursing to take care of the seme when he's very old. so sweet. seme proposes to uke by saying he'll add him to the family registry as his son, and uke accepts. SO SWEET!!! and there's some seme being unsure of himself cuz he's so old and doesn't do much for uke, but uke says a lot of truths like how sweet the seme is to him to just accept him into his home and stuff. shows some balance in their relationship supporting each other and overall it's just a fantastic read!
Part-Time Pets
first 3 chapters are stories about pet people who work at a company where people can hire them and those stories are cute. last story was not cute. 1. guy hires a pet rabbit to save his failing company. he kinda gets jealous how competent the rabbit is, but in the end sees the rabbit is still has weaknesses and really respects his human master and stuff. cute. 2. writer and a cat he hires to replace his dead real cat. he needs a pet for inspiration. cat falls in love with him but writer says he'll give him back to the company when contract done. cat is sad but then writer says it's cuz he loves the cat too much and couldn't bear to see another pet die. ofc cat loves him back and reassures him. 3. stray dog type and rich young master. age gap of like 10-15 years probably. young master helps the dog out when he's young and dog is injured and in hiding. 10 years later the dog is back as the young master's hired tutor. slowly they bond cuz the young master always wanted a dog. dog is grateful to the young master for before and kisses the guy one day while he's sick. when the kid gets better the dog had quit. kid goes to find him and they walk off hand in hand. ok now this last story spans 2 chapters and it sucks. some bullshit about a guy who can make others beautiful or lucky in love if you touch him and have sex with him. he doesn't really let anyone do that but he falls in love with his teacher and wants to have sex with the teacher. teacher still in love with a past student but their relationship was discovered and student suicided. so the teacher and the saint guy have sex and teacher can see past student. almost died so his soul would go to past student. but saint saves the teacher and they are goign to be together?? but the ghost guy says he's waiting for teacher in after life and they'll be together later or when reincarnated?? just bullshit feels bad for saint.
Everyday is a Good Day
this was such a good one! heartwarming with some lessons about family. age gap of ~5 years so uke has to take care of dead sister's child while the grandparents are on a cruise for 61 days. he wants to do it alone for his family, but struggles. the guy who's liked him for the past 5 years comes in to help. he took care of his dying step-grandma before. the three of them face some trials with the child not being able to talk or pushing a kid for badmouthing his uncle and getting lost at a festival. child also used to be selectively mute but when he got lost he called out to his uncle and could talk after that. i guess he was reassured that people wouldn't leave him behind anymore? if he called out, someone would always be there to hear him? something like that maybe. and when the 61 days are up, the uke has realized his feelings for the seme are real and they kiss. in an extra they have sex but first they are almost foiled by the child showing up and needing to be looked after for a night. still they have sex and it's hot but just a nice way to close off their relationship to the readers. and it's only the first step of many for them!! but it's revealed the seme was not a virgin.....like why reveal this lol he just had random sex before cuz he says he only has and only will love the uke
