Brothers (YAMAMOTO Kotetsuko)

Complete | YAMAMOTO Kotetsuko | 2001 released

This author is a goddess of this genre and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise, even her weaker stories (I consider this to be one of her weaker works) she manages to make the characters seem relatable and not over the top drama edgelords. She also works in comedy that flows well into the narrative so I am not scared off by the overwhelming seriousness that most yaoi has. I love how she makes me love the characters and root for their happiness though their personalities rather than having to root because they are main character alone. She's even not afraid to make some characters actually gay and admit it, rather than having to have every character be the "I'm gay but only for you" bullshit that plagues yaoi as a whole. Can't wait til she releases again for me to fall in love with even more of her extended canon of lovable characters. :)

Starts out rushed and then takes a few chapters to really figure out where it wants to head, after a while it moves on from the whole pup play fetish being a main point of the manga to being a manga just about any fetish the author could think of but hey glad anytime the yaoi community starts to be more open minded and tries this new stuff as opposed to treading the same stuff over and over again, over all I liked it. Not top 10 but enjoyable enough to give a reread in the future. PS we need more actual gay dudes in manga it moves the story on alot faster to the good fluff faster and while the questioning guys exist they are represented super heavily in yaoi idk I'll come back and update once the story continues/finishes. Oh also sooooo nice to see a non overly fem bottom while they do exist it's nice to see a spectrum of all kinds of characters because that is how real people are, it was nice that's all I gotta say haha.
