Multiple stories. Two had a good start, but they turned violent and sadistic, which isn't my cup of tea. Liked the art style, though. Chapter 5 is the continuation of the #1 host's story from "Boku no Shiru Anata no Hanashi." It must take place a good deal in the future, because Hisashi is 39 and his husband is dead. He takes up with a cop.

Bi no Isu

Complete | IKE Reibun | 2000 released

Explicit, disturbing yakuza love story. I liked the couple a lot and it was nice to see their love develop. A man struggling with ED goes to a specialist...who turns out to be the childhood friend he used to hook up with, whom he blames for his impotence, and then has sex with in the office. PWP. Coworkers hook up after realizing their years-long mutual interest, and then they have breakfast! Features the wonderful "of course you're not still here in the morning, I was an idiot to get my hopes up, but oh! you were just out buying groceries!" trope.

Three interconnected stories. The president chasing his secretary around the world was kind of sweet, but the last chapter descended into underage rape territory. Giving this two stars for the other chapters, which I liked somewhat.

Kanga na Spoon

Complete | ike reibun | 2000 released

Chapters 1-5 are a great love story between longtime friends. Chapter six veers into abusive noncon territory but features an on-page wedding, only the second I can remember seeing (the other in Haru wo Diete Ita). The final chapter is two high school students with mutual crushes.

Hai To Diamond

Complete | Sadahiro Mika | 1995 released

A 17yo looking for his missing older brother comes to the city where he meets Joe, a hustler. Thus begins this strange, strange love story. This started out fade-to-black and ended up tastefully explicit, and while the love story between Joe and Otoji was a nicely developed slow-burn, the author threw so much unnecessary drama at them it got ridiculous. I'm not sorry I read this, but it's not something I would re-read.

Yoru To Asa No Uta

Complete | harada | 2015 released

During a night of shared sex with groupies, Asa ends up having sex with his band mate Yoru by mistake. Yoru, who has loved him for years, is happy about it and continues to allow Asa to use him for sex, even though Asa is cruel and degrades him. But after Asa harms a fan, he's brutally assaulted and raped, and it changes the way he views Yoru, who takes care of him in the aftermath of his trauma. This is fantastic but contains a brutal and upsetting rape scene that is explicitly depicted and frightening. This is like cotton candy fluffy by Harada standards.
