❀'s manga / #shounen ai(356)

this is really cute, but the author introduced some big topics that didn't get resolved properly. love the art and both characters though. just think it would have been much better as a longer story. shounen-ai, only a kiss. they are childhood friends but seme moved away. uke was so sad and didn't recognize him when they met again in high school at an arcade. this story seems to be set in the 2000s where they still used those keypad phones. anyway, uke thought seme was scary at first, but seme introduces himself and they catch up. things are going great and suddenly seme is trying to woo uke?? by hugging him and giving him a ton of pocky sticks?? this happens so fast. but the author spends a bunch of time in flashbacks showing their past in elementary school. then there's a sudden scene about a local gang boss trying to recruit seme. seme has 3 days to decide before he comes for seme and his loved ones. seme deletes uke's number and ignores uke to protect him. then after several days uke gets worried about seme not picking up his calls. texts seme asking what's going on. seme calls back in the middle of the night asking uke to come to the arcade. uke goes and sees the place is messed up and seme is beaten up. apparently they did this to him after he refused to join the gang. they make up and kiss and it's really cute but is this really enough to let seme off the hook??? then we see them hanging out in seme's room like best friends and lovers now i guess lol. they have a cute confession scene and that's it. lovely art and everything but story is rushed.

too ethereal for me.... boy sent to wolf god as sacrifice. wolf god raises him for over a hundred years cuz his aging is slowed i guess.... then he sends boy back to village cuz he doesn't want to hurt the boy anymore, thinking it's the right thing to do.... but when the boy grows a bit more, maybe aging normally in the village, he comes back to the mountain and the wolf god can't resist taking him in again. as his bride for real now... kinda confusing

uke hitman quits organization for a peaceful life. is homeless and picked up by seme. starts working at seme's flower shop and living in seme's apartment building. seme turns out to be head of another hitman organization. been fan of uke for a long time and he initially picked uke up to hire him, but fell in love instead. they are super cute together lol and idiots for each other. seme keeps protecting uke from the guys sent to kill him. but uke realizes his location has been leaked and is on edge. there's a final faceoff between uke's past organization and seme's men. uke is actually totally ok with it all and like's seme's cold blooded side too lmao they're suuuch idiots for each other and it works so well. uke is like a dummy about relationships and thought it was normal for bosses to kiss workers for good job. anyway, no extras which is kinda a bummer but it was a really cute read and i love fluffy yakuza stories..

APPARENTLY THERE'S A VOL 2 ASDOFIAJSEFASLDKF translations kind of bad, so i can only guess along at what's happening. details of the convo are totally lost. uke picks up the convenience store clerk who just rescued a cat from the river. uke houses the cat at his apartment while seme goes to work. then seme takes the cat home, but his landlady kicks him out for having a cat, so he starts living with uke??????? how does this make sense lol. seme doesn't even bring his furniture or anything...... he just moves in right away??? and how come he doesn't just give away the cat if he wants to live there???? totally bizarre and unrealistic situation. so they're living together and uke starts to like seme cuz seme's so good to him. cleaning his house. cooking his meals. being totally understanding of his work issues. and when he confronts seme about it, seme kinda says like yeah he's not sure but he could definitely go for uke?? i didn't really get it...... but after that they keep living together normally except uke being more cautious...... he knows seme likes him but still trying to act normal??? after that the cat's real owner shows up to take the cat away. then seme is comforting uke in his sadness and kisses him and pushes him down. then he realizes he made a mistake and leaves. next day tells uke he'll move out in a week. uke is sad about that and wants seme to stay. they talk it out and start dating i guess......???? happily ever after living together. but it was so confusing with the translation...

4 different stories. first is uke liking seme's voice in the announcements. finds out it's seme and starts getting close to seme. seme turns out to be a shy guy. second is childhood friends. seme and twins, uke and his sis. seme liked the sis when they were kids. he confessed to who he thought was the sis, but it was uke who dressed up as his sis cuz he liked seme. now they're 20 and seme's moved back to the area. he wants to confess to the sis again cuz it was his first love, but he realizes the sis looks a bit different from how he remembers from his confession. and realizes it was the bro. and he's kinda okay with it..... don't understand this next story. they meet at an inn. seme just got dumped. uke working on his illustrations. no conclusion. last story is fem seme who's always getting dumped. seen kissing his ex by his friend. uke starts developing feelings for him after knowing he's gay. and he confesses and seme's cool with it...... all of them are pretty nonsensical about how feelings develop.....

c

really sweet relationship between seme and uke. love how naturally they fall in love. but it's left me with questions about what exactly happened between them that made them separate during high school. basically they are high school classmates and both like writing. seme's mom and dad are both famous in field of literature so he has big shoes to fill. during a writing contest he plagiarizes an idea he got from someone else and turns out much later it was uke's idea he plagiarized. he didn't know either for so long. and he wanted someone to join his literature club, so he recruited uke who was quiet and kept to himself cuz he had family and financial problems. sad poor uke stereotype with puppy sunny rich family seme. anyway they get closer through the club and both obviously like each other and uke is receptive to seme's advances, always. i really like that uke never pushes him away when seme kisses him and sometimes uke says things to get uke to come to him. like this uke is not shy for affection and saying what he wants. but then later uke shows seme a page from is diary and seme realizes it's somehow the story idea he plagiarized for a contest way back. he got first place and uke got second. he feels guilty cuz uke could have really used the prize money and now he feels bad knowing he did this to uke. so i guess he stopped talking to uke after that. and ignores uke when uke asks what's wrong. and 7 years go by. one day uke shows up at seme's workplace where he works at his mom's publishing company. they kinda act like nothing happened in the past and start rekindling their relationship again. uke is fine putting it behind them but seme feels so guilty still. this time uke actually makes the first move to kiss seme cuz he can tell still likes him and he likes seme too. and uke still having family problems cuz his family needs money and his mom later falls sick. seme has quit writing but uke wants to write and seme supports him being his editor. uke almost quits writing again after his mom needs surgery, but seme supports him and i guess they get past their past issues together by being together during uke's time of vulnerability with his mom sick. idk i'm so confused by this ending. feels like some shit is not explained and idk what happened between them back then and now...... like a lot of the story is told through flashback which is cool and works good most of the time, but i am getting confused wtf happened. and story ends with 1 year later uke has published his own book with seme's help. and they are still together but not living together cuz uke wants to take care of his mom until she retires. this was a best level story until the last 10 chapters left me fucking confused. and i hate these angsty ukes with sad backstories. this one is honestly not bad cuz he's a strong dude who doesn't make it his whole life and still enjoys time with seme despite his family's struggles. not throwing himself a pity party. it's realistic. but still ugh in the end too much sad shit with his mom getting sick too......

both characters unlikable. uke never says what he thinks. seme is wishy washy and doesn't follow through with his feelings too. seme and uke friends in high school and both like each other but never saying anything. on graduation seme kisses uke but then is like oops and uke takes it the wrong way and runs off, blocking seme's number. years later they meet again at a high school reunion. both have been divorced. seme just divorced and needs to move out and suggests rooming with uke who was divorced and now has a space room. uke's cool with it and seme moves in. they're really compatible living together and doing well. but then seme gets drunk and kisses uke and uke is not sure wtf is happening. so next morning uke just pretends nothing happened and seme doesn't say anything either. then seme goes back to his old place to pick up some stuff, but when uke asks where he's been, he says with a friend and uke gets mad........ but like wtf, the ex-wife is technically just a friend now and not anything more........ but uke gets mad at seme for hiding that?? and says seme is never clear or some shit but seme throws back rightfully that it was uke who ran away and always playing a victim. honestly happy to see a passive uke get called out like this cuz too often they are given a pass. even some bitch mad at seme in the bato comments ugh. anyway, after that seme removes himself cuz he doesn't want to fight and just goes to work next day and decides he should move out. but uke is sad that seme didn't come home and goes to seme's hotel to find him. then he confesses and finally they get together and fuck. i guess they're ok now and together.

super cute shounen-ai. uke and seme start feeling things for each other after a bit of misunderstanding makes seme think uke likes him. uke starts to actually like him. and seme actually starts to like uke after seriously considering whether to return uke's feelings that he thinks uke had lol. anyway, it's a very cute light-hearted manga. no messed up drama between them. things always get solved with communication and their love for each other... also a side straight couple here. we see them graduating and going to kyoto for uni together.
