Sweet Heart Trigger
Third Vol: Finally! They should of broken up long ago. They are not got for each other. Hopefully things will get better for each of them now. Brad would make a much better partner for Cole. And hopefully Cole can be a good one too, with work and help. Tho I think he should be single for awhile and just play around coz i think he needs that. To learn how to live by himself and understand that other people desire him as he is. And i think that will help with self image and help him to grow and find out the person he really wants to be. A person without Alex, he is not the only option. Second Vol: I’m shocked they’re still together tbh. And gosh Cole is the biggest hypocrite ever. He was so paranoid about cheating and then does it himself. Also never once has Alex been that dismissive sex crazy person he makes him out to be in his head. He’s been very forthcoming and said he wanted more then just sex and even accepts what you’re willing to give him. I actually like Brad...now don’t get me wrong like the cheating was bad. Very bad. He was a horrible friend but I think he is trusting Cole on his word and likes him enough to take a chance. I almost kind of think he moved on him to see if he could love a man... and when he realized he liked him he was honest and immediately moved. But he actually seems he would make someone a good partner. But yeah...a shitty friend. So thats questionable. But Cole need to figure his shit out. Like by himself, he needs to figure out to be himself and love himself. I pity him and can’t really root for him. He’s very hard to like. I’m so conflicted when I read this story. Sometimes we do reallly shitty stuff and then we grow and become better people. At least he admitted having an equal relationship is something he wants and his isnt that right now. So reflection is something i think. Update: Okay, I reread it with the new chapters. And Yes, their relationship is unhealthy, even they know this. Cole would benefit from counseling i think. He clearly has trust issues, low self esteem when it comes to Alex and has no idea how to be in a relationship. I can understand why he is so insecure, but it doesn’t even look like he is trying to change. Which is why they are doomed to repeat the same mistakes. Threatening to kill yourself and ofc your partner is abusive. He needs help. And I agree with Cole, what exactly keeps you coming back? Like he said, all they do is **** or at least thats all we see. They both kind of suck at communicating esp Cole. Alex has tried to reassure him and make his intentions clear tho. But I really think Cole has no idea how to be a good partner. You shouldn’t just do what they say, discussing how you feel is only gonna make your relationship closer. The second volume does look promising though, like they may actually be growing. But that “friend” is definitely gonna screw it up. Surprisingly this story was sort of fucked up. Like I've read my fair share of fucked up situations, but this one really bothered me. And I think it was because the characters were kind of unlikable and toward the end I had no more sympathy. At least for Cole, this was such a destructive relationship and they both knew it, which I think is what was so utterly depressing about it. But there was zero character development, he didn't try to talk it out or anything but went straight suicide/gun threats because he couldn't live without Alex? More like his dick, all they did was fuck and that was clearly the problem. I mean I do actually feel for Alex because he fell for this broken person, but like he didn't exactly do anything to repair the relationship. And I don't know... This just was not what I expected. And that end scene with Alex bitterly laughing as he realizes nothing has changed as Cole asks yet again if he'll cheat with girls. Just wow... I actually cried a bit. And why did they never have any real conversation at all? On a positive note, I loved the art style, it had a stark sketchy feel and I like they weren't your typical body types with Cole being quite skinny. I think I took this way too seriously for story with almost no plot. Wow, this was long, enough of my ranting. The end.

Mixed feelings about this one. On one hand it's so freaking cute! The characters are lovely and so sweet I might now have a cavity. And the whole story was such a fluff attack. (^∇^) I really enjoyed it. On the other hand it was a bit unsettling, i wish this was not yaoi. This Really didn't need that scene, it's short and pretty tame but really unnecessary the whole animal thing got to me. Just not for me. I should of skipped it, in hindsight. (-_-) But, man do I love these two characters they are just so adorable. I really glad I discovered this mangaka, she has quickly been added to my favorites. I love her crisp clean style, and I'm big fan of her chibi's. Her stories leave me feeling light and fluffy. ( ̄▽ ̄)
sefure ijou, koibito miman!
I saw someone describe stories like this as a "slam, bam , thank you ma'am". It stuck.

2022...wow. What was past me thinking? In what way was this cute? Like not at all. Hideaki is a controlling, possessive manipulative jerk that's hardly redeeming. He's one of those realistic tsundere's, in that they suck to be around because they cant be honest. I dont get why his friend even likes him so much...i feel bad for all his past girlfriends. This was so damn cute! Also Hideaki as the uke? That was a surprise, but I loved it. Aggressive uke's are my fave. Though he was a big jerk,but he ended up so cute at the end. Tomo was just the best boyfriend ever! (^∇^)I love sensei's stories. Also does the cover remind anyone else of Yurio? No, just me... ( *`ω´)

The art is gorgeous, almost too pretty and the bold lines remind me of a coloring book. However, the paneling was distracting, it was like the scenes were imprisoned and stilted the flow of the story. I think the thick outline was way too heavy for this type of drawing and for almost every scene. I've seen it done beautifully but I honestly can't think of any as an example. Which is good because that shouldn't be what stands out o I just have a bad memory. Anyway, besides that it was good but kind of lukewarm. There wasn't any real tension passion or otherwise, though the whole thing is basically a sexy scenes. It just felt like drawings, pretty and hot drawings, but just drawings. There wasn't much life to the characters, it had potential to be better.

Renai-rubi no Tadashii Furikata
1-2) Renai-rabi no Tadashii Furikata These are my absolute favorite type of couple, airhead x commen sense, dorky, sexy, funny, heartfelt, so freaking adorable, sexy, and embarrassingly honest. I just love Hiro and Natsuo so so much, I can't even... ヾ(@⌒ー⌒@)ノ Although, I don't know what was so dark about high school, that was just clingy attention by a crush, for goodness sakes. He clearly was just afraid of "delinquents" more like slackers. \(^o^)/ This was one of my favorites, it's so fluffy with an unlikely revenge plot thrown in. I wish there was more of their story. Gosh darn it, I love theses two dorks! 3) Hodokeru Kaibutsu So, I think I've read all of the prequels and sequals to this story and this one is the least dark. It centers around Shuuna and Kans love. I really like how Ogeretsu handled this, that the past abuse was clearly stated and was a roadblock but he has changed and is not the same person. That being said his past clearly haunts him and is never forgotten, but he can move on and it's okay to be happy. As for the smexy scenes, (o_o) they are smoking hot and sexy af. Not for the weak of heart. Now I get why their story is continuing it definately has the most meat, but I really wish their was more of every other characters instead/too. I guess their too happy? Also, I love that this is all one universe, you get to see each character have their own story and the small links between them. That's really cool Imo. Ogeretsu crafted two interesting stories packed with emotion and character a must read for any yaoi fan. The art is fantastic and brings the characters to life with her sultry sex scenes and hillarious expressions, she knows what she's doing folks. Let's take a moment and give a round of applause to Must Be Endless Scantation, because this was a masterpiece. Bless you for what you do and this translation was outstanding. (=´∀`)人(´∀`=)
