Gouin Sakka To Makeinu No Hatsukoi
The uke has been starstruck by a model he walking the New York runway when he was younger. He decides to pursue a career in modeling to meet the model that inspired him. However, that top model (seme) retired and the uke was depressed so he turned into an actor. After being an actor his employer threatened that if he didn’t assist and follow the training of a person he knows he will be fired for his mistake. The uke becomes an assistant to a mangaka but unknown to him the mangaka is the model he admired. Once he finds this out, he is still in love and starstruck but can’t believe his idol is an otaku. They fall in love and the seme is kind of mean for ignoring the uke a lot for his otaku reasons but as a fellow otaku I understand. The uke does love the seme a lot for putting up with it.

I really enjoyed this story, I love how the seme didn’t allow himself to go all abusive on the uke he has been in love with for years. The seme really did cherish the uke as a friend and held himself back until he really knew that the uke loved him back. We all Stan a patient seme who asks and continues to verify consent. The uke is super handsome and he loves to take care of others. Must be tough waiting on someone for years to love you back, congrats seme!

The author gave us a sequel, god bless the author. I love watching a love flourish again and again! Stan the seme for being a complicated fool who loves the uke too much to be honest. Stan the uke for being so strong and upfront about his feelings all the time. They balance each other out!

Damn this read hit too close to home. I’m stuck in the closet and no one really knows about my situation. I have told my brother and sister a little bit but they don’t really know the whole scope of my sexuality/gender/preferences. I understand how the seme can feel that it is safe to just stay in the shadows, but damn it was sadly and tearfully liberating to see how the seme came out after falling for the uke. This is a realistic depiction of what being closeted feels like. You just live everyday feeling bored and unsatisfied with people and relationships you build with others. Nothing feelings genuine coming from you. Similarly for the uke he is straightforward and can’t hide who he is and this made me feel like a fool for not being honest with myself. Be who you are and you will be happy is what I felt the author was trying to teach us. Thank you for this heartwarming realistic depiction of gay love. Thank you Author-San.
Re:birth
Damn that was a huge lie. Poor En he want to make the Alpha he loves happy so he faked his entire sex as an Omega. That must have been so hard and heavy for him to carry everyday. I’m happy that Hibaki found out and that didn’t change anything, it made them closer and made En happy. Their love for one another was not based on their genders, it was based on who they were.
My Dirty Fantasy Came True
I loved reading this because both the uke and seme were just my type!!!! Such beautiful art and bodies! The uke was adorable with the flush in his cheeks and the seme was super hot with his muscles. I drooled along with the uke tbh. People in the comments section didn’t seem to like it but I did. I think it was a quick read with enough of a plot to make me continue reading. Thank you to the author for their hard work. The seme’s understanding and love with the uke was awesome he was so kind even though he was teasing him too much. I’m sure the uke will love himself through time and though experience of a healthy relationship that the seme seems be able to provide.

This read was hella wild, I expected drama, but got more than what I bargained for. The chairman is a snake, dirty, perverted, evil sack of shit. I’m glad he died. He attempted to rape the uke after using him as a fortune teller his entire life. That piece of shit! The seme was horrible too, he had love dovey vibes but was mean and he did rape the uke on their first time too out of anger. He can’t control his emotions and made the uke cry by yelling at the poor cinnamon roll. The only good person here is the caretaker (who also loves the uke), he is kind and doesn’t abuse of the uke - except for that bathroom scene- but damn. I wish the uke would have ended up with him The caretaker should have saved the uke for the life he lives though, so ultimately all men are trash. The seme did risk everything to get the uke out though, so maybe that is why he deserves more credit. The seme gets possessive of the uke whenever the caretaker is around.

All the ukes were super cute in this yaoi, the semes were handsome. I loved reading this, the grandfather’s reactions were the best. He accepts that his grandson’s are dating men, but he just wants grandchildren. Fun and entertaining read, the semes all have that redeeming quality in yaoi which is being possessive to the point of forcing their love. Trigger warning for other readings because of the dubcon/rape.
Until I Meet My Husband
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.
Love Kids!!
