Kozure Ookami (INOUE Satou)
Very realistic artwork, but NOT bara imo. They only issues I have is the artwork is SO realistic it makes it kinda hard to tell the characters apart. Especially in the last chapter, it gets really confusing. Also, when sex does finally happen, it seems super rushed when you've spent all this time getting to know the characters and joining in you wanna see them like, EXPRESS the love not just kinda get off one and done

The 1st story had a truly authentic seke with the uke comforting the seme similar to the 1st seke in Haru wo Date Ita but then it kinda takes a nosedive, random smutty stories with no real character development and the art leaves a lot to be desired. If it was just the 1st couple I'd give them 5, I just wish the mangaka would've developed their characters a little more
Finger Stinger
1 star for art, 1 for BL, 1 for seke but nothing else because the plots were awful and the love scenes rushed

This won't be for everyone. It's written as bdsm yaoi but for gay men not really bara. It totally counts as bara but everything in the style to the action in here is a homosexual fantasy story. I don't really think the promiscuity is the loveless kind you see in some yaoi it's more realistic to long term couples in a world where staying in the closet is forced on them not a choice. They can't be open in public so they take out their frustration by being more open in private. It's like if Mapplethorpe wrote yaoi lol
Sadistic Boy
I give it a 3. The plot was SO much fun abeit a lil unnecessarily smutty. Smut for smut sake isn't really hot it kinda just cheapens all the sex cause it's just THERE. So, 4 *. Then the super femmy dudes....not my thing at ALL. So 3*. But, for anyone else turned off by the girly dudes the mangaka clearly did their research for BDSM. You can tell by the way they handle the 3way relationship and some of the scenes. Just a shame the art was practically yuri.
Kuma to Interi
I don't mind the bad art, once you get into it, it kinda morphs into good art IF the plot has heart. Koshino is my favourite mangaka for that. But this, has too many couples changing too fast. I love seke, but the scenes are short and basic with no passion. There is complex ideas here, but it was like the mangaka didn't know what to do with them. It's a shame.

Liebling!
Omg ok, the size difference, I feel like it's to scare off the bara haters. This is fun, fantasy, and LGBTQ+ REAL in the relationship. They reverse, both are mainly men but very fem too. There's chest hair, and all that. The bigfoot aura from the Daddy, is more of an innocent bear which is way more accurate to gay fantasy then our yaoi culture. If you like REAL gay style, this is AMAZING and I honestly can't get enough of the reversi bara
