This is a fucking MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!! There was NO rape. It was pure comedy. It was the most yaoi of the yaoi of comedy!!! The guys were fighting over who would be top (That's literally the whole plot *facepalm*) but it was in a COMPLETELY innocent way!!! The guy who ended up as Uke revealed in the end he just didn't like feeling like he was being looked down on, which is why he didn't want to be Uke, but the Seme totally understood and was like "Then ride me, bro. No problem." And BROOOO in the end Seme was like "You totally win.... 1000%" (Paraphrasing, btw, here XDXD) and I don't know what to say. Just the Uke was like a man. The Seme was like a man. They were literally totally toe-to-toe in everything and I am so satisfied. It's a comedy, so OBVIOUSLY things work here that would never work anywhere else, ESPECIALLY outside of the yaoi genre XDXDXD But it just worked SO well, that I'm in love. 10 ukes out of 10. PS: I need to find more goddamn Seke shit ಥ_ಥ

Sweet Tears (mio Junta)

Dude, why did I save this. This is a story which is only readable because of my numbness to being unsatisfied by past plots and how incomplete they feel. Anyway, short AS FUUUUCK but definitely a rr, because it seems to teach me a lot about what to do and what to avoid with absolutely no option of failure.

No plot. But, you see the relationship these two childhood friends have. You like, get snipets of their love life as high-schoolers and I like that there's only short-term drama. No shit that is dragged out for weeks. Just for a few panels before it's resolved XD I wish we'd have seen them mature a bit, though. But it was nice that we got so many facets of them. The stupid ones, childish, kind, embarrassed, possessive, etc... It was nice.

Got me emotional. Not tearing up, but I related to Mashiro the black-haired Seme (Yes, it's a shounen ai) because of his issues of letting people in, being honest and being gentle. I related to all of those. I liked how there was a gentle one in thr relationship, and I like how the Uke said "No... You're acting rough, stop." and that the Seme actually snapped out of it and stopped. It was... Meaningful to me. But the most emotional was when Mashiro told his mām that he would now always place his lover as a priority. When the mām started to cry. But Uke just whipped out his phone and told her which train she could take. Then the uke pulled Mashiro away... But his mām said sorry. And Mashiro looked back in surprise- but the Uke kept pulling. So he didn't go back. He was supported and pushed forward by his lover. It was.... Very meaningful to me. I loved it. Anyway. Nice plot about Mashiro in the second half, and a less heavy one about the Uke in the first half, where he just learned to be honest by thinking more about other people's feelings. It was nice. Would be a nice rr. AND FUCK, STILL CAN'T CONCENTRATE WHILE READING, MAYBE I SHOULD REALLY CRUSH A FEW HOURS OF MEDITATION, JESUS.

What the FUCK? It's like HALF of A FUCKING STORY!!! Okay, so, I feel like there was no ending. But. This story fucking slapped. The way it was done. The sudden outbursts from the blondie, showing how difficult it was for the black-haired dude to handle... I liked it. It was emotional and made all the sweeter by how short it was. It felt COMPLETELY different to any other yaoi I read. BUT! After all those outbursts, spending a whole day crying and those concerns of you two never working out... You just decide to live together? Like everything's smooth sailing? No. Fuck off. Completely unbelievable, I wish that was somewhat resolved. Also, again, I saw FUCK ALL of their relationship. Bois, seriously. Anyway. I immediately could tell by the artstyle and everything that this was going to be a unique manga, and it was. But the jarring way it finished was underwhelming and disappointing, hence the rating despite how much I liked it. Fuck you.
