Soredemo, Yasashii Koi o Suru
Added to re-reads. Write something about it. This story was good. The story is as I had tagged it, realistic. It has less of a comical, fun, vibe and more of a serious one. The soon to be partners are people that met through another friend. They live close by so they start drinking together often. The blonde guy quickly develops a crush on the friend, while that friend starts having feelings for a rumored gay co-worker. His friend tells blonde guy about is feelings toward his coworker. This starts making his friend jealous and upset. The guy his friend has feelings for already has someone he is dating, a manager at the company they work for. One night blonde guy tells dark haired friend "why not date me?".
Gurume no Fukurami
same author as "free kisses". This one is not as good as that one but its okay. uke gets an erection from eating food. seme helps him out. The story is a little confusing at some points, its probably the translation.
On the Veranda
I wish there was more of it. A man sees a ghost of a guy on his veranda. He smokes while the ghost drinks. The guy swears that he recognizes the ghost guy from somewhere. He realizes that the guy is his coworker. He sees the guy on the veranda every night. At work he hears the guy tell his coworkers that his girlfriend left him to marry someone else. He sees the ghost of the guy looking at his phone and crying that night. Another night he sees him jacking off and he does too. When the ghost starts to not come around anymore, he starts to realize that he misses him and that he seems to like the guy. It was very interesting and cute. I would have loved to see the characters get together, rather then be left with the idea and assumption that they do.
Metro Dog
This was really good, really chill. They are both older men, one being older than the other. Me identifying the characters as uke and seme wont work here because they switch. The dark haired man is the older one. He is a business man. The light haired man is a shop owner. The business man is drunk one night, walking with his head down. He finds himself walking into a shop. The man in the shop offers him coffee. They have a nice chat and the dark haired man wants to pay for the coffee. He learns that this is not a coffee shop, the man just happened to be making some and offered some to him. His shop sells tobacco products and antiques. The business man keeps coming back for coffee and the shopkeeper. They share conversations over coffee. The shopkeeper clearly likes the business man. The business man is divorced, but accidentally talks about his wife as if they are still together, leading the shopkeeper to believe so. One day the business man is at the shop and he falls asleep. The business man feels something touch him and awakens. He sees the shopkeeper and tells him that he's not a homosexual. This makes things a bit weird between them. The shopkeeper tells him that chances are he won't want to come back. The business man has a realization that the shopkeeper is special to him and that he does in fact feel love for him. And they smooch and make love. The end.
Kore Mo Shigoto Desu
This one was a good read. It was short, so you don't have to commit to a number of volumes and the art and character design is nice. The blackmail thing is eh for me and so is the fact that the uke falls in love too fast. Other than that, this is good and i enjoyed reading it. Its got an older uke and thay are business men. The uke is always going to the seme with projects with bad deadlines and the seme accepts them anyway since he has a crush on the uke. The seme brings the uke another project and tells him that he will only do it if he sleeps with him. That's how they end up fricking and how they end up being more than friends but not lovers.
