Hidamari no Orange

Complete | Yu chitose | 2019 released

Cute and just long enough with just enough character interaction where the development of the relationship feels natural and not forced. I really liked this cute bl. Basically, smart/pretty uke spends him time in the art room after school. He scores really high in school. Seme needs to improve his grades or else he will have to repeat the year. He finds the uke in the room and then says that he wont tell anyone about his misuse of the room if he helps him study. This is their deal. They spend time together studying and once its come to an end and the seme passes, the seme is sad, telling the uke that he would still like to see him. They see each other over the summer and we learn about the uke's family. How his dad left and how his mom is a single parent who works hard for the both of them. She's never around so its always lonely at his house. That's why he stays in the art room and thats why he is envious of he seme and his lively house. The seme realizes that he feels love for the uke and at a festival they go to, almost blurts it out. The seme tells the uke that he loves him and so does the uke. The uke graduates and the two become a couple. We then see into their relationship after 3 months and they are still together.

SO GOOD OMG. I LOVE THEM. The story isn't over yet and I am looking forward to more. These two are classmates. The uke has wild long hair that grows really fast and the seme is a tall guy that slicks his long hair back. The seme starts to talk to the uke, telling him that he should cut his hair and that it wont be in the way. The uke says that he doesnt care. The seme has a friend who is also a classmate of theirs who cuts hair and him and the friend both tell the uke that hair cutting guy can cut his hair. He's not interested. The seme always pats the ukes head. The seme starts to have lewd thoughts about the uke and is surprised by them. After discussing the uke's hair again, the uke wants the seme to cut his hair. The seme attempts to cut his hair on the school rooftop, telling the uke that he's not good at cutting hair. The uke tells him he doesn't care. The seme starts to mess up the uke's hair and calls his friend to help. After this the two become closer. The seme learns about how much the uke loves music. The uke lends the seme cds to listen to. After many encounters and headpats, these two find themselves at the train station, where the uke pulls the seme down for a kiss. I started to cry thinking "this is what I live for". I love the laid-back nature of the story. The way that there's not much happening between the characters but you can still feel there connection. Can't wait for more of this story. It leaves off with the two about to be going back to school since their break is almost over.

Yozora no Sumikko de

Complete | Hayakawa Nojiko | 2000 released

This story has supposedly ended but I didn't feel like it was done. I was hoping to see the two of them be more romantic and touchy but alas this is not a yaoi. In this story, the characters are reunited. They knew each other in high school and they met when the uke joined the seme's astronomy club. 11 years later, the uke is a teacher and the seme's son is his student. At times the story confused me. I know that the two of them liked each other when they were in high school. The seme had made some moves on the uke when he had given him a pen with stars on it. Back to the present, the two are surprised to see each other. They end up seeing each other often due to the seme's rowdy kid. The uke ends up going over to the seme's place. I forget what was said there, but the next day the uke realizes that he lost his special pen. He goes to the seme's house to ask if its there and when the seme asks "Is this what you're looking for", he gives the uke a kiss. The seme's son is adopted. His previous girlfriend had already had a child and she passes away in a plane crash. I wish there was more smooching between the characters. But there is a cute part thats set in the future in 2 years and they like together and the son has grown uo and the uke is making them dinner. It was so cute.

Kurayami Ni Strobe

Complete | hayakawa nojiko | 2011 released

SO CUTE. The stories from this author have been so nice and refreshing. This one was about two childhood friends who live next door to each other. The blonde guy (who i think is the uke) has a business in school where he takes pictures of peoples crushes and sells them. His dad is a professional photographer and he learned photography from him. His black haired friend (the believed seme) plays basketball and is pretty popular with the girls. He gets confessed to regularly and his childhood friend is always around eavesdropping on the confessions. The seme always tells the girls that he is busy with basketball, and during one confession, while the friend is around, the uke's phone goes off. The next confession, the seme instead, tells the girl that he has someone that he likes. The seme walks out knowing that his friend was eavesdropping and he had known that last time too. The seme asks the uke if he wants to know who it is that he likes. The seme tells him that its someone that he has taken a photo of. In the seme's wallet is a negative of a photo of them together when they were kids. The uke blushes. After this their feelings are pretty much revealed. The uke grapples with the fear of being discovered and people finding out that he's gay. The seme deals with feeling a bit of jealousy, but in the end the two work it out. The story is marked as completed, but it seems like there would be more to it. The story starts to show the other two friends of theirs becoming closer. I thought that they might get together before the story ended, but they did not.

Yoake Ni Furu

Complete | hayakawa nojiko | 2000 released

This story is a continuation of the story about the teacher and the father reuniting after 11 years. I figured that the son and the bully in his class would end up together, and this is a spinoff with their story as high schoolers. This tells us that the father and the teacher are still together after all this time. This story is really good and i can't wait for these to to get together, but first they have to make up. This ended on the characters in an argument. So basically used to be bully seme has the hots for uke, his somewhat childhood friend. The uke still has a thing for the teacher. He said he was rejected but he didn't give up. After spending time together. the seme being jealous of the teacher, the seme thinking that the teacher and the uke are dating, the two find themselves at the semes house. Its there that the seme finds out that they were never dating and that he had been rejected already. That he hasn't given up. The seme starts to ask "why not me?" The seme pushes him down, but the uke thinks he's joking. "I'm not joking." He confesses to the uke and slides his hand under his shirt. The uke head butts him and runs away. That's where the story has left off. I wish there was more I could read already. I was really getting into it.

Living With Him

Complete | miyata toworu | 2000 released

THIS WAS SO CUTE. Such a good read, short and sweet with just enough relationship development for the romance to not feel rushed or forced. It was a very cute story that I will be adding to my favorites list. The story is about childhood friends that grew apart when they went to different high schools. They are now going to college and need a place to live. Their moms are besties and decided that they should live together without hearing what their kids thought of it. The seme is tall Hottie nice popular guy cutie and the uke is cutie fluffy hair fellow. Turns out that the seme has had feelings for his childhood friend since they were young. The seme confesses and the uke needs to figure out if he feels the same way.

Fuyu no Hanashi (Yamada)

Complete | Yamada | 2000 released

This is so cute and short and i wish there was more. They are so gay for each other its so cute, but they never confess or anything. The dark haired guy is always teasing his light haired friend about liking him and the light haired friend gets flustered or mad or both. They both seem to like one another, but alas, no confession, as mentioned. Wish there was more, super cute, a favorite for sure, really short, loved the chemistry between the characters. This is how you convey attraction and connection in a short story. The characters didnt have to have a monologue about how suddenly "their heart beats around them and they get all flustered now but why is that" sort of thing. They didn't have to confess (even tho that would be cute), you understand that they like each other and those explanations are unnecessary. Also holy shit yamada wrote this and it was fluffy and nothing fucked up happened.

Veil

Ongoing | Kotteri | 2000 released

These two are so cute. The chapters are so simple and they remind you of how beautiful simple things are. Simple moments and simple days are beautiful. They have such a calming air to them. I love their relationship. The author had a note in there where she said they are the veil between friends and lovers. I wish I could be with a man as good as the police officer. And the art is beautiful. I want to dress like the lead girl. She is so beautiful and all of her outfits slay. This was so enjoyable.
