tsukineko's manga / #tsundere uke(33)

Sequel for 'Nemuri Otoko to Koi Otoko'.

N.B. This is not a manga, but a light novel. I've read chapters 0 + 1. They're actually just bonus stories. I've dowloaded the main story from yaoiotaku, but have yet to read it.

Aggghhh! Why did I give in to temptation and read this even though it's incomplete?!?! That 3rd chapter ends on such a horrible cliffhanger! Well thankfully it shouldn't be too long of a wait, according to the comments. It's a thoroughly enjoyable read: pretty art; good looking and endearing characters; an entertaining and engaging storyline; very well paced so as to keep up the tension and suspense; and brimming with an exquisite tenderness that will surely heal our poor, world-weary uke, (and maybe certain readers). Oh yeah, and gotta love those cute, cat-like dogs, (or are they foxes or something?) I like the fact that the plot and characters feel relatively realistic, (although obviously a highly romanticised version of reality, lol). It manages to be dramatic without becoming MELOdramatic, and it's heartwarming and sweet, but not fluffy nor diabetes inducing. It's not a particularly deep nor thought-provoking manga, so I can't rate it above 4 stars, but it's certainly high quality light entertainment. The h scenes are too short, but lovely, and certain parts, (especially that back kissing scene!), are so tender as to be not only erotic, but quite moving. Apparently, this is a spin-off of a couple of other manga - 'XXX Allergy', and 'Secret XXX', about the mcs' brothers! - so I'm going to read those whilst waiting for this one to update...

This is pretty cliché old-school bl tbh, but it has its good moments. The 1st couple's relationship started so fast it was freaking hilarious - they move in together after knowing each other for a matter of days lol! As for the 2nd couple, I always find the crying puppydog uke type really annoying, but the seme was more of an interesting character, despite, (or maybe due to?) acting like a complete asshole at times.

Have read up to and including chapter 5. I love it! It's pretty realistic and adorable. The uke is such a tsundere, but it's not annoying, because we know that it's due to his tragic past. The pace is refreshingly slow. It's beautifully written and drawn. I'm looking forward to reading the rest.
