Yurameku Aki no Koi Gokoro
they're friends in high school. both like each other. seme doesn't realize it yet but uke does. they lose contact after graduation cuz uke wants to forget these feelings. 8 years later they meet again on the job. uke is photographer and seme is stylist. somehow they start a friends with benefits thing. both like each other but neither moving the relationship forward. then uke stops responding again. seme doesn't accept that and contacts uke through friends and then they have a party for the friend and uke gets drunk. seme confesses his love while uke is passed out. uke hears it and thinks it's a dream and confesses back. then uke realizes it's real. they fuck. then next morning they get together for real. i am kinda confused about the timeline cuz they say it's 8 years since they last met when they meet again. but then later seme says it's been 15 years since he's liked uke. and now they're in their 30s.... mehh idk
Boku wa Kimi to Koi ga Shitai
this is a really lovely story with a soft art style. seme saves uke from molester on train. they get close and uke starts to like seme. i think seme feels the same back and they kinda touch each other. after that uke gets jealous of other people in their class being close with seme. but seme really just likes uke. and they get together in the end. best part is the extras where we see them 10 years in the future still together and seme is now a lawyer! so proud of him lol
Love Letter Lyrics
cute story with minimal drama between the leads. they are working together to take down an external enemy. uke is a writer working on lyrics for seme's first solo album. but then this other bitch takes credit for uke's lyrics. uke's sister posts online about the injustice and the company who backs the bitch is not happy. seme wants to see who is right and makes uke stay in his house to write lyrics. along the way they get together. first seme was only doing it with uke to give him some love experience so he could write love lyrics. then i guess they both like each other. more shit with the bitch trying to take credit for uke's lyrics and a misunderstanding between them that the bitch created. but then seme comes to talk to uke and figures out what's going on and he solves it. and they get back together again cuz uke realized seme isn't that kind of guy to use him and he trusts seme over that bitch.
Popping Candy
seme is rich popular guy. uke is puppy-like extroverted guy. seme has some weird trauma that's not well explained. but it makes him date anyone easily but then also dump them the moment they confess and the relationship gets serious. still don't understand how his trauma made him do this and what sense this was supposed to make...... but basically uke falls in love with seme at first sight. asks seme out. seme easily agrees. but then when uke seriously confesses, seme dumps him right afterwards. then uke is not giving up, keeps pursuing seme. figures out seme's got some trauma but still likes uke. uke wears him down through stalking and pestering lol...... then they get together again and this time seme is more willing to be truthful about his feelings. admits to himself and uke that he likes uke. they have sex and it's seme's first time. it was cute. then we just see them together in uni and a bit of their future. seme turns out to be weirdly possessive like most korean semes are....
Ookami-Kun Wa Suki Ga Kakusenai
just a cute story about childhood friends becoming lovers in high school. uke got taken away from his mom by CPS and went to orphanage and then got adopted by seme's family cuz he ran out and became friends with seme. he likes seme a lot and accidentally confesses. seme thinks about it and realizes he likes uke too and they date. they try to have sex but uke has an issue where he keeps turning into his animal form when he feels strong emotions. so that prevents them from having sex for a bit but ofc they figure it out. then some more trauma about uke scared he'll hurt seme cuz he can't control his transformations well, but all resolved easily. just a fluffy story.
That Time I Got Stuck to the Guy I Hate
this is cute but kinda nonsensical. two guys in university living together. seme likes uke. they get struck with a curse that makes their hands stick together if they touch hands. then they have to jerk off and cum together to unstick. uke starts off hating seme but then likes him. then he finds out he is repelled now when he tries to touch seme. he does some research and finds out it's some well known curse that's based on magnetism. if one person hates and one person likes, they will stick together. if both like each other, they will repel. then uke is super sad and goes to a shrine to pray. he came here before. seme finds him and they confess to each other, breaking the curse. turns out seme had prayed here before too, about seeing uke again. and uke had wished for a romance in uni. anyway, it's cute and uke is a good tsundere type.
Takara no Biidoro
cute but i would not read again. officials are out on bato. this kind of innocent naive uke is just not for me. apparently seme comforts him one day at the park after his parrot dies and uke falls in love unknowingly. he chases seme to university and joins the hiking club to be closer to seme and to get a chance to thank him. seme is kinda like w/e about it though he does remember uke. somehow through a bit of hiking and club activity they get closer. uke realizes his feelings are romantic, not just gratitude. and somehow the cold seme comes around to like uke too. this is the most unbelievable part. though seme is cold at first, he realizes his feelings first and kinda forces uke to ask him out... seme did kinda save uke from a stalker. and i don't get why seme is obsessed with marbles. and apparently his family is rich... random ass details dropped in that don't add much to the plot. uke's from a normal family from the countryside so he's naive. these characters are so politically correct lol. especially the seme. it could only work with a naive basic uke. it's a cute story but boring, lacks depth.
Partly-Cloudy Hearts With Chance of Sunshine
THIS WAS SO CUTE. REAL SLOW AND NATURAL DEVELOPMENT OF FEELINGS BETWEEN TWO FRIENDS IN HIGH SCHOOL. THEY ARE BOTH SO REAL. SO GENUINE. SO CUTE ASLIFJSALFKSELGIAEIS and no dumbass miscommunication shit. they realize they like each other and then there's the confession. wonderful pacing. love the characters too.
I’m In Love With Toraji-san
they work at a hair salon. uke is 29, a stylist. seme is 22, an assistant. seme likes uke and slowly kinda wears him down. then we see them start the relationship and seme not sure about uke's feelings and uke slowly opening up more. uke is kinda tsundere. they have a cute dynamic. i quite like this author's realistic dialogue.
