Came for the Yaoi. Stayed.'s manga / #Interesting(43)

No smut... I think, at all. But AS USUAL THE STORIES WEREN'T GIVEN ENOUGH TIME TO DEVELOP SAKDLFKL DLKA But anyway.... I LOVED THIS!!! I loved the constant bittersweet, tentative passion in this. I loved the romances and they were all short and sweet. Again, recomend a reread when a little bit more forgotten. But gret for a sitting with tea. Oh! But they do show some fucking scenes. A little on the bestiality side in that last one, but who even cares at this point, it's manga, I should be growing a pair by now XDXDXD

Love this author. They have a few nice ones I like, apart from the one with a demon king and patissier. That one didn't have enough of plot or vibe or anything. So nah. That one was just a quirky plain yaoi. But THIS! This one had FEELS as well as a small PLOT and the characters were in a setting that was cool and unique. Definitely recomend a reread. It even had me worried it was a tragedy at one point... It never WAS, of course, but you need to wait a hot second before that's afirmed to you. Loved the passion between them. Not MUCH EXPLICIT smut, but a hot scene was there. To be honest, it didn't need it, but it sure added a little something if you know what I'm sayin' ;P Also, basic ass backstory, but it worked WELL here and was actually introduced pretty well in preperation for the plot point when it was necessary. The romance developed in a cool way, their company was great to see, the plot building UP to their MEETING was WELL EXECUTED!!!! Look. The story progressed well. There were sections to it, where I felt happy with it and couldn't see into the distance. But then when the turns in story happened, they were always in tandem with what has already been established and I have honestly not enjoyed the STORYWRITING in a YAOI for a long time, so this is a sweet treat to remember. It was slightly touching, entertaining, interesting with it's own vibe and well written, though simply. Love it and alway should apreciate the little things in life. Again. Good reread for when forgotten a bit. Should be done in one sitting.

Okay, so this was pretty average despite having all of the tags that I like and the reason for that is because a) there was some dodgy fucks going on. Not exactly rapey, but it verged on that a few times. The tropes of dominating seme was too prominent in the mountain-god one, with the tsundere uke making this feel dodgy. b) not a unique feel in the character chemistry and... that's fine usually, but here it just stood out and I don't like that. The slime was a cool characer and I wanted to see way more of him, but whatever. Anyway, pretty mid. It's not a BAD one to look into, but I think you can find others if looking for a reread. This one isn't the most light-hearted but isn't grey at all, either. Just mid. Not bad, tho.

....... Shoulda shown the life with Suijin-sama in the modern world =3= That is LITERALLY IT! T_T

Soooo, fucking loved this one, as per-usual XDXD I liked the little demon, but when he spoke finally, he kinda lost some of his personality. They YP was cool. The backstory involved was the bare minimum necessary and didn't really tell us much about the YP, but quite frankly, nothing NEEDED to be even said as otherwise it would have felt pointless and empty. They told us everything we needed to know here and nothing was wasted. Liked some of the cute scenes afterwards about their future together, just a shame they were so damn sparse and didn't show how we actually GOT from point a to point be XDXDXD But yeah. It was a straight-forward plot, sweet, didn't rush right into the romance, gave the... bare minimun amount of time to change the relationship from a guardian to a lover dynamic and they actually did it. It felt right and honestly different and the pauses where they weren't together felt nice. Not really one for a reread, but nice. Def liked it.

Sooooooo cuuuuute T_T Age gap was... Great. I loved the way these guys interacted. I feel like the old guy was... Fitting for his age? I couldn't have imagined him any other way? But he WAS a liiiitle too old The story was incredibly simple, there was barely anything there, but the story pretty much had nothing to do with "plot" XD So ain't no complaints. Old man was pretty shy about them until, like, the last chapter XD Only agreed to date MC in the 4th chapter, I think. I didn't mind. The romance wasn't built up too much, but it was the attraction that the MC had for Uke was blooming and shown throughout the whole story, so that was great. It could have been very easily annoying, actually, that the MC was interested but the Uke gave 0 fucks, but it wasn't like that. The uke was so smooth and kind, but not in an oblivious, Prince charming, way. More of a... "You're making me embarrassed..." and it was shown entirely genuinely. So that made it likeable. Also, the MC was nice the way he was into the Uke. No force. Polite and unabashedly desiring the Uke, so I liked it. It was this small story with not a lot going on, so if it had been longer, it would have felt like it was dragging on. No real complaints? But it could have been a little more interesting, I guess. Some quiet, complicated thing could have been involved, to make the story more packed. But that's only "if" you'd want it to be. The simplicity felt like a nice change.

Biiitttchhhh I liked it. But the son of a bitch didn't fuck. Neither of them did the other. Why. This was too short and a little satisfying, but not to the point where I could just forget about the fact the didn't have sex. And they even talked about it in the end. But okay, fine, that's not the main thing XD So what I liked about this was the nice old-is vibe which you got in the house, from the clothes, from the beginning of the book and from the mentioning of the grandfather. Then I liked the couple's dynamic a little. They both looked after each other. The fox said something and regretted it when the guy cried. The guy looked after the fox and the fox looked after the guy. They both were a little childish, so it never felt off when one was playing a tsundere. I like it. Also a moment that had me clutching at my kokoro was when the guy cried how he knew he was being selfish because he could never stay by the fox's side forever (They should have fixed that, I like happy endings T_T) but he still wanted to stay. And yeah. I'm a little sadist, what can I say T_T

They reeaallyyyy should have expanded more on the stoeies, but fine.

Rubbish collectors are the main characters of this story.... AND IT HIT DIFFERENT! The grandpa had like, a page to his name, but those four to five pannels were LIFE! Love that guy <3 He's probably a fave character of mine from here, lol, as well as that other, younger kid, who woke up from his wheelchair with the family that threw our Seme away. Anyway, the story took a while to connect to me, I think I got to around the third or second chapter when I actually began to get attatched to the story, because I didn't really feel the whole "Your heart is broken and you're waiting for me to fix it" thing, which is funny, because I guess that seems like a story I'd connect to, but I didn't really until they showed how cool the fixing things was... Through the Grandpa! I love that guy. Seme was hot and I loved how he was into the Uke and was just totally all over him. I had absolutely ZERO problems with the Seme and Uke characters, they never felt like they had a parent-child relationship (GOALSSS) and the Seme never felt like a kid. The Uke was clearly digging him, and there was SOOOOOO much CONSENT, it's just unbelievable. And it wasn't even shoved in your face, it just... was. Anyway, the Uke could have shown a bit more... Interest in the Seme, I guess, since he never said anything about loving him until like, the before-last chapter, but it was sweet when he did and I wish he responded more when the Seme said that sorta thing, but I guess it DID feel incredibly natural and fitting with the Uke as a character when he just smiled and that was it. So, I guess fine. It just.. Feels like there's so much. The vibe felt filthy and cluttered, but unique and grew to feel more warm as the story progressed. Genuinely, the setting felt like it changed, even as it stayed the same the more I read on. It was a beautiful place, filled to the brim with so much that had a history, where everything was being tended to and nothing was stale. The characters were few, but there were no unnecessary faces and the setting had one crowded place in the whole manga, shown once, so I liked that. The father can go fuck himeslf. But he was also cool with how he was trying so hard and was clearly... Just, a little fragile and doing his best. The wife should have had more of a personality, like jeeze, my one complaint is that she didn't even stick with the dead-inside husk of a woman feel. At least give her that. But no, she was just a cliche mum with a smidge of a personality which felt blander than the skin flaking off my hands. The kid, god, I loved him so much for some reason (considering the manga, of course, he's not like, my favourite manga character, haha) with his simplistic-ass design for his hair and simple face and the simple use of him as a plot device... I guess I liked what he symbolised, as he woke up from a long sleep, just to tell his dad that he was sorry he'd been broken and asleep, hurting him, for so long, but that now her was awake, so it was okay to stop fighting and just let the tears stream. I liked him. So all in all, the story's plot had a simple theme of broken things which have been given up on, eventually all being fixed and put back into some form of action. It was a nice cluttered vibe with the Seme and Uke being perfectly in sync with their issues and no stupid miscommunication whatsoever in the plot. An entirely safe manga with some chill sex and suport, despite it being a bit of a downer and grey atmosphere. Definitely an rr.

You need to be able to take a joke to read this. And to be a true, veteran yaoi connoisseur.
