❀'s manga / #shounen ai(356)

this was really cute. loved them both. uke kinda became bitchy at the end. author tried too hard to make him tough.... basically uke likes seme. seme likes their teacher. uke bets with seme to date and then by the end of the school year, if seme likes him back, uke wins. if seme still likes the teacher, seme wins. seme agrees for some unfathomable reason lol. but it's cute. they're cute together. i like how uke is aggressive with what he wants from seme. and i like seme to be a puppy type kinda going along. things are going great and seme is falling in love with uke. but then uke fucking springs on seme that he is going abroad to study so bye next month...... and fucking 4 years later seme is still not over uke and depressed despite them never talking?? not very realistic..... and uke comes back one christmas break finally. seme goes to pick him up at airport and they go to one of their old date spots and seme asks uke out for real. ofc uke agrees and they rekindle old feelings and have sex. then in extras we see uke back in korea again for summer vacation and them hanging out together. and now uke is a huge bitch being mean to seme.... not expressing his feelings and instead making seme feel down like uke actually doesn't like him anymore.... and they do exchange rings but it's just the last scene basically. their teacher gets married and none of them attend the wedding..... honestly i don't get it cuz i feel like seme had a good relationship with the teacher in the end and they worked shit out. no reason to avoid the teacher now..... i don't get it

random one-shots. maybe trying too hard to be deep or idk cuz i'm not understanding it much.... and from the first one there is like no romance happening... dude gets confessed to and somehow by the end of the chap he decides to go out with uke.... despite them not discussing it any further and instead on a weird hunt for a talking lion statue....i don't fucking know

lots of different stories. first is about yokai. a creature that always lies and a tengu i think? only the tengu seme understands uke's meanings even though he only speaks falsehoods. then it's a gay fast retelling of momotaro. momotaro gets with a dog guy. then threesome in the office. then there's a high school established relationship romance about giving valentine's day chocolate. lastly office worker x cleaning staff.

teacher x student. typical storyline. teacher accepts confession thinking uke will get over it soon. they kinda go out but not really doing much. then teacher actually gets serious for some reason?? not well explained why seme suddenly likes uke for real. this author likes frivolous semes who for the first time get serious with uke. then uke finds out seme is moving back to his hometown next year. uke changes his uni choice to be with seme next year. but he keeps distant from seme while doing it and seme thinks uke is over him. idk why it's like that instead of uke just being clear lol. but afterwards, seme finds out uke got into uni in his hometown. he confronts uke on graduation day and uke is like yeah i did it, i still love you and will follow you, etc. and seme is happy uke still likes him. in extra we see them have sex.

this is too deep for me. tons of text of them talking about their feelings, but i am not getting it well..... maybe cuz translations are weird? idk honestly... it's just the old school style perhaps. two brothers who like each other, but both struggle to accept their feelings. i don't think it's that realistic cuz they separated when seme was 18 and uke 8. now 8 years later seme has moved back home. in the years they were apart, their feelings remained and developed?? just through the letters they sometimes sent each other?? idk bro uke was a literal child when seme left.....

two friends since middle school now in uni. seme likes uke, uke is that tsundere type but has actually liked seme since their first meeting. seme confessed and now want to stick close with uke all the time and uke is pushing him away cuz he doesn't trust it????????? hate these plots where uke is on guard for no fucking reason when he even likes seme... and ofc typical drunk plot device that makes uke reveal he likes seme too. next day he ignores all of seme's attempts to contact him. finds seme outside his door at 1AM after work and they finally talk it out. so boring.

seme and uke are online friends, talking for 7 years and now both 24 in same uni but they didn't know it for some reason.... uke always talks to seme about his crush on another guy, pretending it's his friend's crush lol. seme has liked uke for a couple years now. one night they are calling each other and figure out it's each other they're seeing while on the call. uke still likes the other dude, but seme is quite open about being sweet to uke. for a bit looks like uke likes him back but then author does that shitty indecisive uke thing where uke suddenly won't admit his feelings despite blushing every fucking time he saw seme before and letting seme kiss him and shit????? after some dumb dragging they get together. then the dude that uke liked suddenly likes uke?? wtf is author doing, making him seem like an asshole at every step. cuz he was living with a guy who liked him and sleeping with that guy. then he got kinda interested in seme, and now he's into uke..... but then he goes crawling back to his roommate and they're the focus of the extras.... anyway, after seme and uke get together not much happens. they're sickeningly sweet in that korean way where uke is annoying but seme is overbearingly kind to him. some false drama about seme maybe meeting another man, turns out it's just the dude uke used to like asking seme for advice on how he can get back with the roommate dude.....

red string of fate story. partners tied by the red string have to be touching to get peaceful sleep. but if they actually love each other, this side effect will go away. small age gap 7 years. older seme 29. uke 22. seme is ceo of a startup he created. uke is studying compsci in uni. overall i liked the manipulative seme. uke was a little too meek for me, but seme carried the story. he scheming to get uke into his arms working and uke trusting him was just so devilishly good lol. uke likes his childhood friend. but then he finds out his fated ring is tied to his friend's big brother, seme. at first he doesn't tell seme, but when seme finds out, he demands they sleep together so they can both feel better. and turns out seme has liked uke for 3+ years, ever since uke was in high school and seme tutored him and his bro to get into uni. but seme saw uke kissing his bro in his sleep, so seme knew uke liked his bro and decided to give up on uke. but now knowing uke is his fated partner, he schemes all sorts of things to get close to uke. uke tries to get the ring off at first cuz he doesn't like seme and he thinks it must be a great inconvenience to seme to have the ring link to him. he contacts a dude who can manipulate these things, disconnecting and connecting them from ppl, but he doesn't go through with it cuz it means he would lose all memories of seme. then some drama starts where seme's bro starts liking uke..... or he's just jealous seme is getting close to uke so he confesses to uke too..... idk but it's a whole drama and kinda gross they are letting uke come between their brotherly relationship. uke at this point likes seme more than the bro, so does not accept the confession. he goes to think about it and keeps the bro waiting. in the end seme comes clean to uke about all his scheming so uke can know his true self and make a decision if he likes seme for real. uke is shocked and leaves for a couple days, but can't sleep well without seme. and seme is worried about uke, so helps uke sleep while staying awake himself. uke ofc finds out cuz he suddenly slept well and calls seme to get him to come back. seme ofc is a happy simp for uke and they reconcile. uke admits he loves seme, even all the crazy possessive sides of seme. typical manhwa uke.... and they are happily together!! apparently sex to come in the extras...

seme is a voice actor. uke is a high school student. uke is a huge fan of seme's voice, but doesn't realize seme who comes to the convenience store where he works part time is the voice actor he loves. one day uke's phone is stomped on during a fight. he's a delinquent lol. he needs money to buy a new phone so his manager at work introduces him to another job doing housework for seme. at first uke is kinda reluctant cuz seme treats him a bit rudely at the store, but he needs money. he soon sees some rare merch of the character he loves and asks seme how he got it. seme gives those to him and says he's the voice actor and voices some lines. uke loves it ofc. they get closer and seme kisses uke. uke runs away. then he remember that they used to know each other when uke was in elementary school and seme was in high school. he loved seme's voice when seme read books to him at his mom's cafe. he told seme he should be a voice actor and seme really did. seme really appreciated uke since back then and tried to find uke, but uke's mom's cafe closed down after uke's mom died. anyway, present day seme confesses his feelings and uke ofc accepts and they are happily together. some softcore sex in the extra.

ending is abrupt like shit got axed?? whole story is kinda on crack and their personalities change so much through the story.... lots of misunderstandings, but it's not really angsty seme's grandma loses a bet and has to marry off seme to uke. they get engaged and seme moves into uke's house. at first both express hating the arrangement. but uke is gay and finds seme super hot. he thinks seme will hate him for being gay cuz seme said something about hating being engaged to a guy. and seme thinks uke is annoyed by him moving into his house. so then they bet with grandma and win. they get a house. we see them growing even closer at home and at school together. seme starts getting jealous of uke's friend for being close to uke. seme's developing real feelings for uke now. but uke still thinks seme's homophobic..... then somehow uke thinks it's a good idea to date his friend to make seme feel at ease that he's not going to be interested in seme..... and somehow it was his friend suggesting it............ after a while uke realizes he doesn't like his friend romantically at all and he likes seme. he breaks up with his friend and they're cool with it. seme now sees it as an opportunity to do a full force attack to get with uke. and eventually they get together cuz uke reveals he's liked seme all this time and ofc seme liked him too. we see some chapters of them together but for some reason seme has turned into some pathetic puppy needing uke's validation at every turn wtf....................
