Welcome to the Intimate Night
uke dying from stab and seme happens across him. seme turns him into vampire to save him. they drink blood from each other often. every time, they get sexually aroused. seme always gets uke off but refuses to let uke touch him back. one day more elder vampire visits uke and tells him about a lover from seme's past. after that uke feels so bad for seme but tells him he loves seme for real and want them to be closer i guess? then they have sex. seme said was avoiding uke before cuz didn't want to see uke swayed by just temporary feelings. but now i guess he's sure uke's feelings are true? idk that's the end.
Body Electric
seme is police officer/detective. uke is forensic pathologist. uke once got kidnapped and electricity tortured until he gained bioelectricity. so his body can emit electricity, which he uses as a pathologist to solve cases. most of the story is just them solving one case after another. we just see a little about uke wanting to find his torturer, who is still out there. and seme wanting to find his little sister, whose whereabouts were unknown to everyone. only in the last 10 chapters we see some advancement in both of these plots and even their romance is kinda dead until the very last chapter....... like they don't kiss or hold hands or say anything romantic to each other. just some blushing and deep care for each other until a kiss in the last scene. anyway, so basically they catch the woman who was behind all that. she also kidnapped seme's sister, but her body is unfound. don't even know if she is dead or alive. uke and sister were held together before when uke was captured. it's not clear how uke escaped before. lots of plot holes and not a lot of romance, but i like detective stories so it was okay.
Settia
pretty cute and got me teary, but seme is kinda an asshole. i was all ready to forgive him but they showed a montage of the shitty hypocrital things he's said and i thought he was really bad lol. his reasoning for being so rude is not even so understandable. so uke is a half demon and seme is human. they used to be friends in middle school but suddenly uke moved away one day and seme mad about this. uke doesn't know it affected seme so much. now as adults they're working at the same company, unclear what the company is lol but uke uses his mana energy to take care of these demon plants and seme is a researcher on these plants. seme super rude to uke from the get go though uke thought they were old friends. but uke has some mana problem so he can't control his human/demon appearance without a necklace. he lost it getting pushed by seme and turns to his demon form. seme suddenly hugs him and is like i've always been looking for you. cuz he remembers the demon uke saved him from falling off a bridge when he was young. so they go through a lot of stuff at work. seme being super rude to human uke. but confessing to demon uke and being super kind. seme waits for demon uke's answer. along the way uke's mana disease is cured and he can go back to the demon world. but he is hesitant because he likes the seme (?? how?? lol he suddenly developed feelings for seme even though seme was being totally an asshole to him). so he turns back and goes to tell seme the truth about himself. that he's both the human and demon. seme doesn't believe him and says some rude things again. uke saves him from death again. then uke goes back for real cuz fighting again with rude seme sigh... then seme comes to realization that uke was not lying about both ppl being him. he goes to demon world to find uke. they find each other and uke saves seme again cuz seme can't survive long in demon world. they come back to human world and get sweet together. i like how uke said he didn't forgive seme right away, but ofc he ended up forgiving it all lol. anyway then uke goes back to demon world for a while to get his mana necklace fixed. seme waits a month in human world before they're cutely reunited! seme gave uke his apartment key so uke just walks in one night and they suddenly have sex right away.......not so into that but ok nothing shown in shounen-ai. and the explanation seme gave for why he was an asshole. he liked his mom a lot when young but she left him and his dad. he liked uke a lot when young but uke left one day too (went back to demon world after parents' divorce). so seme was afraid of liking uke again and being hurt again. also seme said he only liked demon uke cuz demon uke reminded seme of human uke lol. kinda dumb explanation but ok it's cute story overall.
Don't provoke reborn-ed Bamboo Horse
dropped after chap 31. main premise is uke goes back in time after seeing seme cheating and then dying. he goes back to day before he reunites with seme in high school. so he acts super cold to seme when they meet. but it seems that within 10 chapters the author forgot about this whole premise. uke suddenly ok with being friends and even liking the seme. well sure i guess it kinda makes sense cuz he just loved the seme so much. but the author barely makes use of uke's past knowledge. and doesn't make sense how these high school students suddenly buy a bar together?? just cuz uke said he remembered it making money before. and then the bar is just forgotten and somehow given to the seme's uncle. also crazy that seme's uncle disappeared a girl for sharing photos of seme and uke together. like wtf lol not cool. and suddenly uke scouted as actor and that seems to be the end goal career cuz i skipped to read last few chapters. seme is script writer. they also do not look like they're in high school anymore at all....... more like university cuz they all suddenly also moved out to an apartment away from school dorms..........just a lot of random confusing bad crap everywhere.
A Tree Spirit
tree spirit uke shows up one day in seme's front yard. seme takes him in and starts acclimating him to human life in the modern world. uke quickly picks it up and lives normally with seme, even starting high school though he is supposedly 5k+ years old. somehow both fall in love with each other lol. a little bit of jealousy of other women from both sides, but ofc get together pretty fast. nothing really happened, just a soft slice of life-ish story
A cat's world
real fricken slow relationship but not really in a good way. feels like this story got censored or something so they delayed the confession again and again and even then it was barely a confession... there was also only 1 kiss and then everything else was censored. also the whole ending arc was about the uke's grandfather's old flame, so wtf... took a star off cuz the shounen ai was too little ai. basically uke one day turns into cat and finds out he's a cat demon. he gets picked up by seme, who is also a demon, but hiding his identity. seme is son of powerful demon family and ran away to human world. some demon relations team finds him and makes him go back and he has sad parting with uke. during the time when uke was figuring out his cat demon powers, they got pretty close. after that a year passes and seme comes back cuz he has to look for his sister and other demons who escaped to the human world. they find her pretty fast and at this point human demon world travel is allowed now. so they all go back to demon world together. uke also wants to find his mother cuz his father is human and they separated when uke was baby. in demon world uke meets his mom but she does not reveal her identity. only later when they all go back to human world, she also comes cuz she's finally escaped out. she never wanted to leave them but her dad, uke's grandfather, hates humans and didn't approve of her marriage. so uke pretty easily accepts his mom back into his life and his dad is happy to see her too lol and everything seems cool. but then the grandfather sends cat minion demons to get the mom back. he kidnaps uke's human friend to lure uke there and eventually lure the mom too. this whole final arc is so dumb and barely any romance. honestly barely anything of importance happens in uke and seme's relationship this whole story... but i find this is pretty characteristic of chinese manhua. just telling life story and the romance is interwoven. so uke and friend in demon world now. everyone else follows to save them. uke found refuge in a spirit old woman's flower patch protected by some spirit barrier. everyone else follows inside cuz old woman won't let him leave until she regains memories. then the grandpa chasing them meets the old woman and old woman's memories start to spark. basically they used to love each other but cuz the woman was human and would die early, she decided to split up with grandpa to spare him the pain of seeing her die. but wtf poor reasoning is that... anyway in the end her spirit flower garden is broken into by some random forest demons who actually were doing it for her or something? and she regains all memories and dies after that. guess it didn't matter who caused it but she would pass after regaining memories. that was pretty sad but this whole last big has no fucking romance between the seme and uke... whatever the end after that and uke's parents host a second wedding.
Penthouse XXX
dropped after chap 31 cuz got bored of this rude cold uke. feel bad for seme. uke has some coldness power that can kill people and has been working as an assassin for a secret organization. his ex cheated him out of a lot of money and now he needs to move to a different place to live. seme is offering his penthouse place for cheap and uke goes to see the house. uke agrees to rent a room there and they become housemates. seme kinda a party playboy at first but after they have sex one drunken night seme gets super interested in uke. they kinda date or something but it's mostly seme pursuing uke and uke agreeing because he wants to keep living cheaply in this place. after a while he finds out seme is the boss of the secret assassin organization. uke is super angry for a while but seme makes him come around and is super sweet but pretty overbearing. i really don't like this cold rude uke and super sweet posessive seme combo. just hate tsundere ukes who are tsun all the fricken time...
Keeper of the Pearl
read some for the smut, looks very promising and adorable
A Guy Like You
this had an interesting premise of meeting in dreams, but the characters, especially uke, got a little annoying and the plot went crazy. so these guys were friends in childhood, always playing at the park near their apartment, but one day seme's mother committed suicide and seme went to the hospital. then his father took him away and uke never saw him again and never knew what happened to him. seme was actually in china and there he met the antagonist, a rich and kinda crazy guy who was lonely cuz people only hung with him for money and power. seme and rich guy became good friends cuz rich guy knew korean and taught seme chinese. but then rich guy wanted seme all to himself so he paid other kids to bully seme. seme only had rich guy for a while, but then found out that it was all rich guy's schemes and that ended the friendship. so now in university seme and uke meet again and seme recognizes uke but not the other way around. one night at a first year student retreat, seme tells drunk uke who he is and uke kisses him. but after that uke doesn't remember anything and ignores seme like before. seme thinks this means uke regrets what happened and wants to pretend nothing happened. so they go on kinda not knowing each other for 3 years. now present day is third year in uni and uke starts having dreams where seme shows up. through the dreams he sees what they did in first year and thinks seme was forcing him. uke is so rude to seme this whole time and cussing him out and shit. i really dislike uke cuz he is so cold to seme and just a dumbass making dumb decisions and saying dumb shit all throughout this series. through more dreams uke sees that it was him who kissed first and is kinda okay with it. they almost get into a relationship cuz uke sees his future without seme and is so sad and prevents it. but still uke refuses to say he fucking likes seme. then the rich guy comes from china to find seme. and he can also mess with dreams. there's some drama about uke's friend liking uke and rich guy using that to mess with the dreams, but that passes pretty fast. this is where it gets so confusing and messed up and crazy. so rich guy wants the seme and tries to come between them. but then he gets close to uke and likes uke. seme can't say anything about rich guy's real identity cuz rich guy has a photo of them kissing. but then rich guy gets bored of seme i guess and just posts the photo. rich guy starts going after uke. he takes him to some private island and traps him there. they start getting kinda close but seme then comes in to stop it by pretending he likes the rich guy. there's a ton of weird confusing scenes of bdsm between rich guy and uke and rich guy and seme... feels like these fake relationships got more screen time than the main couple seriously. well in the end basically rich guy is so lonely and that's why he was scared to love and instead just wanted to control people, something like that. and nothing happens to him, they all kinda remain friendly. seme and uke finally have sex and they lose the power to do the dream things. the end. ugh started off great but annoying ass uke kept being rude and tsun. then the weird shit with all the scenes involving rich guy. i started wishing for rich guy and seme to be together but ofc impossible. i'm a sucker for seme on seme though...
