Shima-chan Chi no Tsugai Jijou
This is a gold mine of a read. I love the art and I love the plot. The plot is deep and entertaining to see how they became mates and the obstacles/insecurities they had to overcome to be the family they are now. Can’t wait to read more updates.
Yamada To Shounen
This was a beautiful fluffy read. The uke is in highschool and the seme is 26. They met on Christmas when the seme was heading back home. He found the uke passed out from drinking alcohol. The uke became drunk because his unrequited love found a girlfriend. The seme is straight but he slowly begins to fall for Chihiro’s cuteness. Chihiro fell in love with the seme from the way he was so kind and accepting of his hardships as a gay teen. The seme confesses and the uke does too, they spend the rest of their lives together. No angst because the seme is the best at communicating and making sure Chihiro has no doubt of his love and intentions. Honestly, the seme is the best boyfriend every. He loves Chihiro and Chihiro loves him too! The seme is so supportive of the uke’s decisions and university.
Oshi Chara Ka shita Shinyuu ga Renai Flug wo Tatetekimasu
OMGGG I loved reading this. I loved how the uke was a yaoi fan, I related so hard to his character. The seme being his best friend is chef’s kiss. The way he acted like the main character of the sim game and how he roleplayed those sexy scenes ugggggghhh i would have passed out if that was me. The ending is so cute with going all the way and my heart skipped a beat when the seme called him “babe”. Great read, the comedy and the uke’s reactions were hilarious.
In An Empty Classroom
Uke is so innocent and shy the poor thing got caught and lost is V-card just because he lost his cellphone. The uke was looking for his cellphone when two students walked in. They seme is a notorious playboy and super popular. The seme was getting a BJ from a classmate of the uke. The seme caught the uke looking at the and he decided he wants the shy uke to himself. He forced the uke to give him his number and the uke did. The uke thought he would get blackmailed but instead the seme was serious about him. He invited him to his house for the first time and the seme went all the way. Our uke is no longer a virgin, he is a sweet and sensitive guy who is now dating the seme.
Koi Ni Nare!
I really liked this story. The sensei x student trope has been done many times, but I found this story refreshing. It was coming from a sense of vulnerability and confusion from the uke’s side and the supportive yet flirty act from the seme. The uke is the student and the sensei did not do anything until he graduated. The uke consented which was great, there was no blackmail. It was just a blind date that left the uke and seme with lingering feelings for one another. It was great to see how the uke tried to forget the seme but the seme came out of nowhere in the blind date and stated “you can only have eyes for me, no other man can touch you”. I was ecstatic to see that the uke was confessed to and won’t do anything that he will regret from the dangerous blind dates.
End Game
As I write this, I am left with a few questions. The biggest one is “will Touru ever say, I love you” back. The author left the story as completed, but it hurts to see a realistic ending sometimes. I can understand Touru’s reason behind not saying those words back, but I am happy to see that inside he really does love Touru from the perspective of a lover not just a guardian. He loves him so much that he cannot say it in order to allow the person who is young, vulnerable, possibly confused, and all alone in the world to know that he loves him so much he is willing to let him go. Touru is willing to set free the one person who he has dedicated his entire life to. Touru did not kill the seme’s mother he was simply a passenger in the crash, but he feels just as responsible. He feels guilty for having developed feelings for the child he was supposed to raise and see off. Maybe one day Touru will say the words he hides in his mind and heart everyday. I wish I could see it happen, but even if he does not his silence is the strongest and loudest scream of “I Love You”. Touru does love him and Touru will forever love him despite of himself. He does not feel deserving of the love that the seme is showing him in terms of a lover. He doesn’t even value himself as a proper guardian, he is just doing his best regardless of the circumstances. Seeing the seme fight his feelings for years up until his last year of highschool was so intense. You could see how hard he tried to convince himself of loving Touru in a fatherly way. However, he could not sit back and watch anymore while the man he loves and yearns for is about to be left everyday on his own. I feel that in the moment while leaving on the bus he could feel how Touru would move on or meet someone new since he wouldn’t be around anymore. I don’t know if Touru would do it considering how he has the tendency to love one-sidedly so earnestly but I think Hirai would have won if the seme would have left Touru alone for all the 4 years. Touru would have wanted the seme to see that he is not lonely and that he will live his life so that it can push the seme to leave him. I don’t think Touru would have truly fallen in love, he would have settled for the seme’s benefit so he would not feel guilty. I know that the seme is sad that Touru won’t say “I love you”, but with enough persistence and perseverance in the future Touru will know that saying “I love you” is what the seme needs more than anything. I cried slightly about 3 times while reading this. They tears were slow and dripped silently, the tears came from how beautifully raw you could feel the emotions of each character while they try to battle internally the socially “right” vs “wrong” actions. You could feel how realistic the couple are in their relationship in the end once the seme confesses that he loves Touru. Touru and the seme will live together and happily. They were destined to meet one another and will will never be apart. I hope Touru lives a long life, enough so that the seme never has to live without him. Thinking of this made me so sad, but that was the point wasn’t it author-san. Beautifully done my friend.
Kedamono Kareshi (aomoto Sari)
This one has multiple stories, the rest of them are sweet and slow. The main plot of each is that the seme falls for a straight uke and they do their best to win them over. The first story which I think is the main story has a super possessive and may I add Toxic seme. The seme forces the uke into the relationship, he rapes the uke the first time then decides they will date. The uke has always admired the seme because of their popularity and intelligence. The uke does fall for the seme, but the seme has super possessive and “you do as I say” traits.
