Misekake Oresama-kun

Complete | AZUMI Tsuna | 2017 released

Poor yaku, no wonder he acts the way he does. His first love totally threw away his feeling and used him in comfort and resentment. Poor Hino, who is settling for being used in a similar way. At least yaku is upfront abt his intentions and isnt playing games. I hope they can get on the same level though.

Room to Room

Complete | Lee Aru | 2000 released

Frankly i dont know how Chamin would be able to accept being with a man or accept himself as a gay man after his assault. First of all, its not like you can easily switch who you are attracted to. Ofc, these rules dont really exist in yaoi, so yeah. But, he really needs to wake him up and stop this unhealthy relationship that is verging on maybe it is sexual assault. Its sort a gray area. I think it will be a major blow to Chamin when he finds out. Update...well that ended reall6 well. They were so sweet. And he totally just brushed the whole thing off...It was nice to see him as his waking self way better. They complement each other well, same love style.

Ai to Makoto (Moriyo)

Complete | Moriyo | 2017 released

A good story, if not disturbing. At least it doesn’t hit all the horrible yaoi an omega tropes. The characters are developed of seiji and aiji. Seeing their past and what directed their choices was intriguing. Though toxic in ways they work altogether and Toma never gave up when many would and maybe should. But sometimes you need that person to run after you and forgive you, when you are in that dark place. They learned to love themselves and its okay to be different. I quite liked this.

Meh

Nigai no Theme

Complete | ABE Akane,Abe Akane | 2016 released

I'm rereading this in 2021 and I feel the same in that I'm not sure how I should feel about it at all. I guess I'm mostly sad for all the heartbreak within the story. But the end was positive and showed them moving forward despite it all. Rather than the ending being too rushed I think the beginning of his cheating makes no sense. I dont understand why he slept with him to begin with...though perhaps he was just charmed by him and it was on impulse. Cause he (the club leader) was a really good guy until the very end. I think he fell to lust and couldn't stop despite knowing what he was doing was wrong. I think this a good portrayal of taking a relationship for granted and following urges that don't really match your heart. Because I do think that he still loved Arata the whole time, but also knew that if he kept up this dalliance sex may turn into feelings. I'm quite surprised about Arata wanting to stay with him but I'm also impressed by his love for na-chan. And I do think the violence was something out of his nature and very unlikely to repeat itself. But its all so heart wrenching that he was pushed to that breaking point, that Na-Chan accepted it as love and forgave him for it. Its all so sad that it escalated to those heights. This story is really quite heartbreaking. I felt sad even thought it ended happily...it was rushed and unresolved. I’m mixed. There wasnt enough time for me to forgive either of them. The senpai was really good person that I can say certainly, I hope he gets his own happy ever after. Should those two be together? I was so hopeful in the beginning too, now i could understand a slap, but beating him like that is... :( I do think someone can learn and come back from it, and never do it again, but only after much help and healing. And i do believe he loved him, but it wasnt enough to stop him from seeking his own pleasure with someone else. I dont think they can return, but i do appreciate the attempt at a mature retrieval. It just didnt get there for me. It was an interesting plot and characters, its just needs more.
