kyouran's manga / #protective seme(151)

Wow, this manga is truly something. The flirtatious ritual between the uke and seme was very cute, sexy and surprisingly, very realistic. The uke's trauma from bullying was also very realistic, and there is a pivotal moment when they are about to have sex for the first time, that the uke's reaction is heartwrenching; it almost brought me to tears, that's how very moving it was. This little manga is something special. LOVED It!

To summarize, Seme betrays his gang of which Uke is the leader, but he makes a request that the Uke's life be spared, which was ignored by opposing gang. Uke is shot and buried along with all his gang, but Seme is able to dig him up in time and save him, and upon recuperating, Uke has amnesia and can't remember anything. During this time Seme earns uke's love by protecting him and taking a bullet for him. When Uke regains his memory back, instead of seeking revenge for the Seme's betrayal and annihilation of his gang, he decides to live the peaceful life of a (fisherman?). Seme follows Uke, dedicating himself to him, but Uke seems reticent and has not forgiven him yet, but signs of softening manifest, which foreshadows a future reconciliation. I loved it, and the ending was appropriate imo, considering that the Seme's betrayal was no small thing, and was an inch away of costing the Uke's life. Very interesting. Totally recommend it.

This mangaka's art is especially beautiful; her ukes, but especially her Semes are singularly Gorgeous. Because of his alluring and seductive body, the high school student uke (a bit tsundere) is sexually harassed continuously. The seme is not immune to the uke's allure and offers protection in exchange for the uke's body. The relationship gradually develops as both the Uke and the Seme get to know each other and displace their original misconceptions about the other. The Seme becomes very jealous and possessive almost from the beginning. Very erotic and steamy story with happy ending.
