Hanagara Tsumi

Complete | Tsuba Daeki | 2018 released

This read had me a bit confused in the begging but only because I felt that the author added too many panels in some sections that made me feel lost, but after reading it through twice I understood where they were going. I think that this story was entertaining from the standpoint of a reencouter love. The extra drawing were adorable but I felt the story lacking in closure of the aftermath of their confession and the development of a lovey dovey relationship. Maybe it was the translation but I still felt that I didn’t see enough expression of love towards one another. The story goes like this: the uke is bullied by the seme during their middle school and highschool years. On the day the seme graduated from the highschool the uke had water thrown on him by accident. The seme gave his jacket to the uke and the uke kept it forever not understanding why he had an attachment to their bullies jacket. The uke then grows up to be a great fashion designer/planner. He gets paired with his bully (Seme/alpha). The uke hates it and the seme doesn’t like the uke’s designs/plans and makes him feel bad about his work. Through the story we learn that the seme actually loves the uke and the only reason he bullied him was to keep a close on him since the uke was an omega - justified or not its your choice to decide. The seme doesn’t want to bite the uke’s nape because he doesn’t feel its the right thing to do towards an omega and he loves the uke too much to tie him to himself for life. Uke loves the seme but he thinks the seme hates omegas. The confusion gets solved and they become a couple. Quick note: The seme can’t smell pheromones too well he can only smell really strong ones. The uke has stronger than regular omega pheromones.

Tonari no Bitch-kun Kari ni Nerawareteimasu

Complete | Fukura hagi | 2019 released

This yaoi surprised me because I didn’t think I would like the slut uke, but I really did. The uke is not slutty he just likes having sex with the seme. The uke is not a slut at all he is a virgin to begin with. The uke has been in love with the seme since their kindergarten days and has crushes for anyone that resembles Shoma (seme). The seme was kind of mean because he is still hiding their relationship in public, but I understand why. The seme does love the uke back and he is a sweet shy person. The uke is a power bottom and the seme is a puppy top.

Super Darling is Dead

Complete | sagano | 2019 released

Wow the seme is chef’s kiss because he is handsome, possessive, kinky, and sweet. The uke is older (41 years old) but super handsome. I love how great of a couple they make. The seme is tall and young but the uke is shorter and slimmer. Plot: The uke invest in a scam business and loses all of his money he meet the seme again who told him not to invest in the company. The seme offers the uke a place to live/learn from in terms of share-housing business. The uke accepts the offer, but the seme tells him he must act like he is in a gay relationship in order to live in the “gay” shared-housing place. Turns out the seme lied about the housing theme being gay and the seme’s ex tries to scam the uke again but the seme steps in to help. The uke is not dumb he is just a person who is trying to get back on his feet. The uke is mature and straightforward which I love because it fits the straightforward character of the seme too!

Matsuyoi no Oni

Complete | Fumi tsuyuhisa | 2019 released

Uke can see yokai and one day one of the ghost he can see takes him to big dog/wolf kind of animal that is hurt. The animal turns out to be a demon whose soul/power was sealed by a spirit named Tomoe. The demon tells the uke that the uke has blood belonging to the spirit who sealed him years ago named Tomoe. The uke makes a deal with the demon that in exchanged for giving him blood/energy through “sex” the demon will tell him the story between Tomoe and himself. Uke wants the story to write about it as an author. Demon agrees, but in the process they fall in love. Uke almost dies and meets Tomoe and Tomoe gives the uke the demons real name to make him free. Demon is free and uke thinks the demon will leave him but he doesn’t because the Demon loved him since the beginning. Plot was great and I loved reading it.

A Thousand Cranes

Complete | Jung Seokchan | 2000 released

This read was captivating because the author did a great job in explaining where each character was coming from in terms of their decisions and point of view. It felt rushed in certain points but only because it jumped from “I don’t know you at all” to “if you don’t exist then I will die”. It wasn’t a bad thing though, I think after reading the whole webtoon I understand why the seme saw the uke and decided that he loves the uke in such a strong way. The seme is a murderer but he has never genuinely wanted to kill someone out of his own willingness which is why he lives everyday with overwhelming regret and anguish. The uke has had nothing but a hard life so when he meets someone that treats him kindly and places his happiness as a priority he can’t help but fall in love because this “murderer” is the only person who has done anything to make his life easy and financially stable. Honestly, the seme allowed the uke to take everything at his own pace despite the initial kidnapping. The seme never raped the uke if anything the uke had to teach the seme what he lies and dislikes in a lover which I thought was really cute and fluffy. It does have psychological trauma from both the uke and seme but those traumas bring them closer together and help them understand why they need the other person. I love how they are both equally obsessed with one another to the point that they verbally express how much they need the other person in order to live which I think helps the other partner always know they how important they are for the other because they both doubt that anyone can truly love them. The uke is so strong, kind, happy, and courageous. He goes through so much to support his little sister and to support the seme. I love the part when he states to the seme “I will take responsibility for you too”.

Orokamono Wangeru Naito

Complete | MACHIYA Hatoko | 2019 released

Get this, two men on the mountains equals a steamy time. Have we not learned anything people? Hot guy (uke) is dumped and robbed by his ex boyfriend in the city so he decides to catch a train headed to anywhere and ends up at a mountain country area to climb a mountain. There he meets another muscular climber (seme) who is helps him descend the mountain after the uke gets hurt. The uke falls for the seme’s kindness and out of nowhere rain comes so for safety they have to camp out the night. The seme out of nowhere starts touching the uke after the uke snuggles into him for warmth. The seme bring lubricant and condoms to climb (this man is prepared lmao). The next morning they make it down and the seme starts being a big douche bag and tries to dump the uke who has nowhere to go the uke is already in love though so he heads back to the city with the few dollars the seme gave him to get back. He works his ass off to save money and move to the country where the seme is a police man. He gets a job there and goes to see the seme, the seme is a huge jerk and calls our baby a “simpleminded slut” and states he regrets sleeping with him. He hurts our boy’s feelings, but our baby doesn’t give up and keeps trying to win the seme’s affection. The seme ignores his feelings and tells him to not go see him anymore because he only likes to fuck, but our seme has already fallen but won’t allow himself to indulge in Love because he feels responsible for his best friends death at the mountain. The uke keeps trying to climb in order to share a hobby with the seme and in one of his expeditions he gets hurt protecting a child. Seme finds out and thinks the uke might die, but uke is okay. Then the seme tells the uke his true feelings. Honestly this shit was real fluffy afterwards and during because our baby boy (uke) really is in love with the seme and tries so hard to win his affections. I was low key mad at the seme and still feel a little mad too for the way he treated our sweet cinnamon roll.

Koi Kamo Shirenai

Complete | HAMADA Kamome | 2016 released

To be honest I wouldn’t re-read this one because the story was a bit long and I felt bored in a few segments but that does not mean it was a bad read. The story was really fluffy and typically follows the realistic depiction of an older uke with a younger Seme. In this case the seme is the pure, fluffy, young and virgin character. The uke is older and experienced. The uke was recently dumped by his 3 year boyfriend because his ex wanted to have a family. The uke accepted it and went on a much needed vacation to lift his spirts there he met our wonderful kind and handsome seme. He is young and naive but he is true to his feelings and does not hide his intentions from the uke. The uke wants nothing to do with love but he can’t help falling for the seme bit by bit because of how genuine he is about his feelings. Smut was good but the art was not 100% my style for pleasure reading. It was great, just not my full cup of tea. Hence the pauses in the readings and picking it back up again.

Houkago Hachimitsu

Complete | HAMADA Kamome | 2000 released

This was a beautiful read. The main characters are so innocent, young, and in love. They just do things that they feel their hearts want even though they are confused by the fact that they like one another. The uke is shy and not popular but without realizing it he has always liked the seme. The seme is popular and super handsome but he has always like the uke. Their relationship goes from regular classmates to classmates that kiss and touch each other. They each are young and awkward that they don’t clearly confess their feelings. On graduation day they go the seme’s house and go all the way. It’s really cute, but when the uke tries to figure out if the seme really likes him the seme hands him a bag of cough drop candies. The uke is hurt and feels that the seme just tried to brush off everything like it was no big deal so he leaves and doesn’t contact the seme again. They both meet each other again in Tokyo, the uke is no longer shy and he is popular/dressed fashionable. The seme just got hotter. That is when the uke looks into he candy when he gets home and realizes that there is a “I like you” paper confession in the candy. The uke runs back to the place where he knows the seme works and confronts the seme. They immediately confess and communicate their feelings. They realize they are both in love and still love each other, they do it immediately and live happy ever after. This story was so fluffy and romantic. The way their love blossomed was the best, I’m happy they had their reencounter.

Oshiete, Ookami-san.

Complete | Nanoka | 2015 released

This was a fun and enjoyable quick read. The uke is straight but he looks cute and adorable so based on his trauma (guy friends fell in love with him and claimed that he seduced them) his new hobby is to seduce straight guys and once they confess their love to him he tells them he is not gay. The seme who looks like a shy nerd visits his cafe. The uke decides to make the seme his next target and begins his usual “fishing” scheme. However, the seme was faking his shy and nerdy personality he is actually in love with the uke and his goal is to make the uke his. The uke realizes this and slowly the seme makes him fall in love. No rape, just treating the uke so well that the uke decides he can’t live without the seme.
