Nanohana Boys

Complete | Ppyong | 2000 released

Bonded by physical disabilities two third year boys become friends slowly building trust. Soon wounds continue to appear on Ishida, and eventually its revealed to be his mother beating him. Continually showing care and support and waiting until Kenji is willing to share what's happening, Yu eventually convinces him that he will help. They begin to put a record of the continual abuse he suffers to put his mother away and get him to safety. Showing Ishida kindness he has never known they grow closer and become true friends. I love this endearing and caring story. Can I trust the roommate, not sure yet... Also, is this BL? I don't know think it is, but I hope it turns out that way. Well, that was it?? Really!? It was so sudden, I feel so caught off guard. All that character development and not much happened at all in season 2. It would have been a better ending I think in season one, it dint really add much to the overall story besides him removing his one eye. I man even then, sort a disappointed it was built up so well with rich characters but after saving Kenji nothing happened. Still I liked season one a lot and love the characters, a touching tale of friendship.

Haru ga kita

Complete | Mochino Kome | 2017 released

Kaede has always been alone and thought he was fine until he was feeling at his lowest and chanced into a sex shop. A gay one at that, where he finds his first act of kindness that makes his heart go dokidoki. Will his pure intentions be able to handle this new and unexpected love? I couldn't put it down it was so interesting. Art is bomb, and I really like these pure characters in such a seedy world. It had an innocent sexy quality to it. I love.Wow that took a dark turn. It's so freaking sad and tragic. It makes sense tho, you deserve love haru and you don't have to pay for it.

Public Sex

Complete | Rihara | 2018 released

I couldnt agree with the dear translator. Every single person is scum, soo twisted and messed up. Just wow. We know why the brothers are but whats Sei’s excuse.That was scary af and so fucked up. How does this not have a yandere tag, I’m at a loss. I wish I had known going in.

Gift (ICHINOSE Yuma)

Ongoing | ICHINOSE Yuma | 2015 released

The way sensei depicted Kei's inner world was masterful. His inner child and the robot devoid of emotion that protects him from all the horrific pain he's had to survive. The wall of disassociation was just do beautifully depicted as Kei slowly transformed from Yutaka's love and care. And what a fucking turn, that was raw and horrible but riveting drama. Im so glad they got their happy end. Their beginning i find confusing, why would the blackmail be coerced sex? What was Kei getting from that? I dont really understand it. Like if he made a video of it and everything to threaten his exposure. As it was the force was really confusing. And just seemed like the irritating tropes that run across bl. But beyond that seeing the love was beautiful once that story started. I feel like the sexual blackmail soured the purity of what their love became.

Hanbun Ageru

Complete | ARIMA Arashi | 2022 released

I wish this was shounen ai, the scenes of abuse was too much to be forgotten for me to enjoy their sweet love. It jumped to physical and just felt too unbalanced for such a graceful quiet romance. My heart hurts for him and all that he endured. The are is beautiful and the writing is lovely too. Its sad while having a happy end.
