Trilogy's manga / #Shounen Ai(43)

Adorable story of two rival gang leaders that protect the same city. One of the leaders has been in love with the other for years ever since they saved them back in highschool (uke). The uke loves the seme, but he is rude and violent towards him whenever they meet because he gets too nervous. The seme thinks that the uke hates him and gets annoyed of dealing with him constantly. Things occur and basically the uke confesses his love, meanwhile the seme has already been paying attention to the gap in the uke’s personality and has fallen in love too. Wholesome asf. No smut, there is a sequel ehehehehe!!!

This yaoi’s plot is the sequel to the first volume. Both volumes are filled with great characters and plot development its an entertaining read. Smut is not really there until the end of the volume and its not smutty at all, its really cute talking. The smut is not needed because as others have pointed out the plot is so interesting you don’t feel like you are missing anything if there is no smut. But, I’m glad they finally did it and expressed how much they love each other. No trigger warning with seme or uke but their are rape vibes from a criminal they take down. Nothing too far happens though.

This was such a peaceful read, there was drama in the moment when the uke and the seme would have a misunderstanding but the misunderstanding were not huge. As a reader you could easily pinpoint what was the issue and you just knew it would resolve itself. The read itself was not controversial either. The uke was just a regular worker with no special qualities other than really being kind and open-minded about a person’s reactions and traits. The seme on the other hand seemed to have issues with understanding basic social customs, norms and speech patterns. The uke had the patience to cook for the seme and he slowly began to understand the seme’s “arrogant” personality. It was beautiful how they both got together and now “own” each other as objects. There love was possessive but only because their chemistry was so great, they could not fathom anyone else having a similar relationship. Once could say they might have a toxic and jealous pattern of behavior in terms of love, but I think it works for them due to the nature of their personalities.

This was such a fluffy read about high school love. First story was adorable because of how passionate both of the students were for one another. They start watching porn together as an excuse to be with one another. They ended confessing they weren’t ever into the porn they were only there to be with the other person and see their reactions. Smut is included and its so adorable. The second story is shounen ai, they don’t have any smut but my heart goes out to them. It’s given in three different perspectives which I loved. The one who has been in an unrequited love for the other person, the one who realized how they feel after a fake confession, and the girl who likes one of them. This one made me cry , because I could see and truly feel the hurt of loving someone you know will not love you back. However, you love them so much you give up and try to get them with a girl they once told you they had “fallen in love at first sight” with. The pain was real. When the other guy realized his feelings after the fake confession and how it kept replaying in my mind my heart settled a bit and I was like don’t worry my friend he loves you too. The confession took a while but it was beautiful, the fireworks, the first guy being scared to hear what would come out of his lips so he covered his ears. Overall top rated, would read again.

I thought we would get more of the first couple, but we actually had two other stories about highschool students who fall in love. The second story is shounen ai, the third gets smutty with the couple deciding “who is the bottom”. I wish there was more on the first story, the chemistry and the storyline could have been expanded so the readers can see how their love develops with the guys personality being so shy. I loved reading the first story.

One of the most adorable uke’s ever!!! Ohh how cute and fluffy he looked. The seme was a super respectable and kind seme. He literally spend his time and money on protecting the innocent airhead uke from the dangerous and carefree situations he finds himself in. Honestly the seme is A1 in this manga. Second story is about two highschool boys and they born over having dogs. First story is the best, both are pretty much shounen ai.

This story was adorable from the perspective that the seme is not a bully he is just someone who has money and wants to take care of someone. The uke is a strong working salaryman. The seme falls for the uke because of how hard working he is. The uke is mature and actually falls for the seme but he is amazing in communication. Before any drama starts the uke nips it in the butt by making the seme communicate his feelings properly. I really loved to see such a high level communication relationship that we don’t usually see in yaois.

First off, thank you author for writing this. I don’t know where to start since there is so much I want to say but I don’t want to overwrite. As a semi-deaf person who lost their hearing around my second to third year of college reading from Izuzu’s point of view made me feel sad yet validated. My family and a few friends knows I’m deaf but I don’t think they understand the daily hardships I face and they have simply personalized my daily struggle into my “personality”. I don’t like going out alone because I can’t hear, I run into moving objects (people, bikers, cars etc.) so I hesitate to go out due to the effort I must place on my surroundings. I wasn’t born being deaf so changing my habits hit me just too fast and too strong. I’m in a place in my life where I don’t want to do much anymore: go out, hang out with friends, meet new people, and drive. They all turn it into “you are just so scared” or “you are a cancer” or “why are you pessimistic”. I don’t have deaf friends or anyone to relate to so reading this made me feel like my entire struggle is NOT simply my fault or the way I am. I am not to blame, but its my current circumstance and me adjusting to it. I wish I had someone that cared enough about my situation to try to understand me a bit more instead of guilt tripping me into “having to change my personality”. Maybe one day I will feel better, but right now and for the past 2 years it has been really hard. I don’t think anyone that hasn’t gone through this can understand just how hard it is to want people to “help” you but without them making you feel like they are doing you a favor or pitying your situation. That is the end of my rant, this made me feel better. Thank you again for this great read.

This manga is so cute, the building of the relationship is so cute and honest. The seme is a huge bear with a heart filled with pure honey. The uke is an adorable munchkin that is completely legal but so small. I love the dynamic and the story is super entertaining. Probably no more chapters since the author asked the uploader to please stop due to financial hardships.

That was truly a breath of fresh air. As the reading progressed, my heart cried, my eyes cried, and my soul was able to breath for once. I am thankful yet sorry to the author for all the hardships they went through. But thank you for not hiding your truth and for describing it to all for us to read. I am in the closet and don’t have the courage to come out. Reading post, yaoi’s, and watching videos has never soothed me as much as this BL has. Thank you Ryousuke for writing this and the author for drawing this. I am thankful because I cried happy/sad tears at the same time. I’m thankful that Ryousuke kept his writing so honest and when I get the chance I will purchase the novel (I hope its translated). I will purchase the second novel if he writes about his amazing husband. I know being part of the LGBTQIA+ is not easy, there are more hardships and anguish due to the way society cannot accept being different. However, if I ever come out I hope it will be nice like the way Ryousuke has his. I currently feel where young Ryousuke felt during his younger years. I am hurt, lost, alone, depressed, but mostly tired. I am tired of feeling these relentless desires and feelings, but having no one to share them with. I am scared, that one day I will come out but be judged alone. I wish I could have the courage, but for now I will whisper it secretly to myself. I want to be loved and feel love, but I am afraid of what comes with it. I think it was beautiful to read that it is not easy to find someone to love and to find someone that will love you back, but this read definitely gave me hope. I have hope that my journey will be hopefully not so hard, but with the same result: to be loved and to love back. Congratulations Ryousuke and I wish both of you R’s the happiest of marriages. Bless your heart, soul, and life.
