❀'s manga / #amnesia(18)

had a lot of potential (like bottom loves the innocent looking top and had a deviant sexual history before amnesia accident) but then did not go where i expected. writing is kind of bad, like things happening without logic and for no reason. they just made a simple accident super dramatic and it doesn't make sense why it needs to be such a big deal. also extra chapter showing the minor character bully falling in love with the top guy is weird and doesn't make sense since he hated him......

actual brothers. older one has psychological amnesia, caused by mental instead of physical trauma. he regresses to 12 even though he is 18. and acts all cute and dumb with his younger brother to get the younger one to pamper him, and also get kisses and hugs and even mild sex (licking). but in the last chapter/extra it's shown that maybe he was faking it?!? like his friend tells him he doesn't look the same as before, so maybe he got his memory back before the actual accident that jolted his memory back?! and it's shown that he purposely undid his tie so he could get his younger brother to do it up for him. idk i am confused by it.

uke has a problem where he periodically forgets happy memories. this is not really well explained like why he just suddenly forgets? but basically he forgot all his memories with seme cuz they were all happy. uke does remember some other ppl cuz i guess they weren't happy memories lol..... so when seme and uke first met, seme pursued uke cuz uke is hot. uke was hesitant at first but agreed to date. there was a bit of good misunderstanding angst where uke thought the bad rumours about him being mentally ill and gay turned seme off, but seme was just not sure what to say after finding out about uke's trauma in the past. anyway, so uke told seme about his memory problem and why he was scared he would forget and hurt seme. but seme said it's okay, even if you forget i'll just come back over and over. and one day i guess uke did forget. not explained how he forgot at all... just suddenly seme goes to find uke and uke doesn't recognize him. seme super depressed for a while. but then goes to find uke at his workplace, a cafe. slowly get to know each other and seme reveals they used to date. uke's friend is super cray and tries to prevent them from getting close again. actually this friend was the one who spread bad rumours about uke and laughed about uke behind his back. anyway, friend's shit doesn't work and seme and uke quickly start dating again. one night friend calls uke over after self-harming and uke goes to help. while there the friend forcefully kiss and pins uke down. uke starts to remember the past. he slaps the friend and gets up to escape but faints. friend takes him to ER. when uke wakes up he remembers pretty much all the past about seme and rushes out to find him. there's some random scene of them standing out in the street that's here and also in the very beginning of this story, but i don't think it actually fits anywhere. author probably had a cool scene in mind but then couldn't work it in lol. let's just say it's some past memory but doesn't make sense in any context. anyway, so uke runs out of ER to find seme. seme keeps calling and eventually uke calls him back. they meet on the street and embrace. uke says he remembers it all and it's a great epic reunion. then we get to see a little bit of their cute future together! so domestic but also sexy and flirty. this story is really great at balancing shounen-ai with implied sex and ample skinship.

they have a mini fight cuz uke one sidedly starts thinking seme would be better off without him and with a woman. and in this fight seme falls down the stairs. uke's wish of having seme forget their relationship comes true. but then seme falls for him again and still manages to guess his favourite pastries. and seme starts getting jealous at the signs that uke has a lover. and when seme confesses to uke again, he suddenly remembers the past memories of them................cheesy..............

okay this was kinda bad. like okay premise, but the seme was wishy washy and weird. uke loses memory after hearing seme say he likes uke but regrets liking uke and wants to forget it all. well now seme is taking care of uke, who has been living with his family ever since uke's parents died anyway. they go places trying to trigger uke's memories. seme can't help himself and kisses uke a few times. uke doesn't think much of it?? in the end seme can't take living with uke anymore and distances himself by going to live in another apartment closer to uni. uke is totally sad and his memories come back and turns out he liked seme too........they have sex. idk this is probably not totally accurate. also there was a cheating girl who tried to get with uke again since he lost his memory of her cheating lol. also oneshot of two guys who like each other. seme comes over one day with his nephew and asks to stay at uke's place so they can take care of nephew together while parents are on honeymoon. uke agrees cuz he loves seme. but slowly uke gets upset seeing seme with other women and seme talking about having kids in the future. he tells seme to leave and seme kisses him. uke kisses back and they have sex and happily continue to look after nephew.

fake amnesia, but makes for a great story. really like the art too and both characters. they used to be middle and high school classmates. seme liked uke and confessed in high school but uke didn't reciprocate which seme was okay with and they kept being friends. they lost touch after high school graduation. now like 10 years later one of their mutual friends is getting married and they meet again. a mutual friend says seme lost his memory from a minor accident and seme acted like he didn't know uke so uke believed it. but seme only lost some parts in recent months and didn't actually forget uke. he just felt too embarrassed to face uke and wanted to act like he forgot. coincidentally uke has nowhere to go cuz he's homeless after his gf kicked him out some time ago lol so he wants to beg seme to let him stay. he says in return he'll help seme cuz seme's broken his arm in the accident. uke also lies and says they were ex-lovers and that's why seme should let him stay since seme says he doesn't know uke. so seme just agrees cuz he would have done it for uke if he knew the circumstances anyway he says. he only found out about uke's homelessness from their mutual friend. after that seme feels like uke is cruel to lie to him about that just to stay at his house. he thought maybe uke genuinely wanted to help him for some strange reason lol. anyway, so seme wants to be a little mean back and says uke should kiss him to prove they were lovers and stuff like this. ok some of this bit is out of order but afterwards seme keeps asking for more kisses. and he openly kisses uke saying it's to help him regain his memories lol. then one night an actual ex-bf of seme's shows up and wants seme to comfort him. uke gets jealous secretly but ofc seme doesn't fuck the guy. he just takes him home and they talk and the guy sees seme likes uke obviously. then uke takes seme back to their old high school to help him regain memories. uke decides to come clean about his lie of lovers since he doesn't think he can stay with seme any longer. he's beginning to really like seme and thinks seme doesn't need him to take care of him since seme's got the ex. on the rooftop where seme first confessed, uke tells the truth. then seme says the exact same confession he said back in high school again. uke is surprised and thinks seme regained his memory but seme explains he was deceiving uke as well. well all's well that ends well and uke cries and they get together i guess. they go home to have sex but since seme's still in a cast they can't really do it well. uke rides on top and puts it in a little. in the extra we see them living together still and seme has his cast off so they have sex for real.

i think the translations were a bit off? and i'm not super into the character this time. seme wears glasses with long hair and is too possessive in a dumb way? and uke is too expressionless for me..........idk basically they both liked each other in high school. uke is one year older. on uke's graduation day, seme confesses and uke says okay if you still feel the same, let's meet at the station and i'll tell you my answer tomorrow. seme gets cold feet and doesn't go to meet uke next day and uke gets into an accident while waiting there and a car crashes near him. he loses all memories of his 3 years in high school. uke is devastated to learn this the next day and vows to help him regain those memories i guess? but he didn't even know where uke went after that so idk...... now seme's entering university and happens to see uke during club recruitment day. he gets close to uke by joining the same club and uke is in first year as well after a year off. during a welcome dinner, he asks uke what he remembers and uke shows him the notes he's been taking on his phone. seme lies and says they're from the same town so he can help him remember stuff. so seme starts sticking with uke and uke sticks with him too. he does start remembering some shops from high school. one day uke overhears gossip that seme is gay cuz he's always hanging around uke. uke tells seme they should stop being together cuz rumours about seme might get worse. seme's like so what, being gay's not bad. and here uke confesses he's gay which feels out of place, maybe translation problem. and seme somehow just suddenly reveals that he's uke's kouhai from high school........ and that he's always liked uke....... all of this just feels so sudden........ after that they're getting kinda close and seme takes uke to do the high jump which uke used to do in high school. when he's doing it he regains most of his memories from high school. then uke starts acting kind of awkward and turns out he's liked seme all the years of high school too, ever since he saw seme in junior high 3rd year running and he was 1st year high school. so they're having a great time together and seme is super possessive about uke not getting with any other guys cuz uke is too open and accepting. one guy tries to fuck him and tell him bad stories about seme but uke saw through it and seme was kinda stalking him and took him away. uke starts thinking he should do something for seme since seme's been helping him so much with his memories and stuff. seme wants him to come out as dating a guy so others stop inviting him to goukons and uke agrees.........i mean this stuff just feels weird........like seme is a bit too much with this stuff and uke somehow just goes along............

so seme and uke used to be lovers and work together to find tungsten, a rare metal. on an expedition to find tungsten, a cave collapses and somehow only uke makes it out. seme is gone. 5 years later uke still can't get over seme but is not working in the same mountain on another expedition. there's a guy in the team who looks exactly like seme but the guy says he's not seme. and there's something suspicious about this trip cuz there's supposed to be 4 people but 5 showed up all claiming to be invited to work. anyway, intrigue here and there and then uke finally persuades seme to have sex with him. while doing it, all of seme's memories come back. actually he had been having some flashbacks and dreaming about uke ever since they met again. from then on seme vows to protect uke from the spy. there's some action at the end where the spy captures uke cuz uke knows how to get down the mountain and tries to run off with their info. but seme catches up in another car and dangling off a cliff uke saves seme. and i guess all ends and it's great, seme and uke together. honestly so much plot from this author, i loved it.

it was headed for a tragic ending and then author reversed it with like fucking 2 panels in the last chap. not fulfilling. basically seme and uke used to be friends while staying at a hospital room together. uke got better and left and never came back, cold lol. seme has some permanent illness and is still there. i guess he went into a coma and his spirit left the body and went to find uke. he had no memories but slowly they came back as he visited places from his past. uke at first wanted him gone but then fell in love and wanted him to stay. but with all of seme's memories back, it was time for him to disappear. and that was the ending, but then we see he's actually alive and awake and uke has gone to visit him in the hospital.

main story is about uke losing his memories after falling down the stairs. he seems to go back to when seme got attacked by a knifeman in the original story. this is a good opportunity for them to clarify details that got glossed over. also good to talk things out like seme apologizing for his past hurtful actions and uke revealing it was seme who turned him into an omega that one time they met in uni.
