Tomodachi Ijou no Koto, Shitai.

Tbh I don't remember if I liked this or what. 6/10?

Hoshigari Rui-kun no Kimochili Koto - Dekiai Host to Ama S Ecchi

Ongoing | Adumi nagano | 2022 released

Very cliche host seme x naive uke. Uke is looking for love and sex and spends all his broke college student money on the host. They fuck a bunch, fall in love, have minor drama, fuck again, the end 4/10

Standard Love

Ongoing | Nockhee | 2022 released

This is stupid uke and seme are in a never ending argument for some reason. Most of the story is sex and seems like the uke barely enjoys it and the seme is very forceful. Ukes personality is also pretty shit 3/10 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

A Studio Apartment Will Suffice

Ongoing | Baekgong | 2022 released

College kid seme is looking for a new place and gets wrapped up with suave and kinda an asshole realtor uke. Uh. Dont often run into ukes that have zero regard for their partners. This uke sucked. I was hoping for a sexy power bottom but it feels like he's taking advantage of the puppy seme's feelings. Maybe this was just too short to really develop the relationship, but the seme doesn't even seem to enjoy sex with him. That's a nah for me 4/10

Koiyume Lover

Complete | conro | 2014 released

Hmm. Interesting? Ending was super abrupt. There was a scene where the seme forces the uke even tho the sex has been consensual this whole time. It's more dubcon than straight rape bc the uke seems to be okay with it.....? But... Seme getting a taste disorder was really random and the initial fairy dream thing was weird. Despite all of this, I still liked it I guess. 6/10

Keisenjou no Cantata

Complete | Hayane Dentou,HAYANE Dentou | 2020 released

Really liked this one although I wish they had told the two couples stories in blocks instead of jumping between them. It was a little distracting and less satisfying. Now I really wanna read the story within the story, but perhaps its better as just brief glimpses. This had a really strong bittersweet vibe despite the endings for both couples being very lighthearted. 8/10

If You Spoil Me That Much, I'm Gonna Cry

Complete | Tokita honoji | 2022 released

Love me a gentle sugar daddy. I really love that the seme was just a kind stranger who was unconsciously trying to find a way to help a clearly exhausted guy without being too creepy about it. This is my kinda fantasy lol 7/10

Link and Ring

Complete | Tsuyuki yuruco,Home-sha inc. | 2019 released

Aww!!! They're so precious. I really REALLY appreciated the more realistic, step by step depiction of sex, the mild homophobia of the seme's friends who get over it because they care more about the friendship than being bigoted, and the extremely soft boi energy of both seme and uke. The relationship was built up slowly despite being just one volume, and the character actually communicated. Their one major drama stemmed from an understandable "one character comes to an internal conclusion to match the pace of the other and doesn't see a reason to communicate this directly with words leading to a sudden change in behavior that sets up the other for a bit of miscommunication." That's not a problem because the characters reach a tipping point and c o m m u n I c a t e I really liked this one. The main couple was lovable. The seme's friends were lovable. The uke was loveable and also had friends of their own, just less because they're a less social person. The conflict was the realistic progression of a romance. My soul is cleansed and my skin is clear. Also shout out to the seme's friend specifically for meeting glasses guy in the middle actually considering an environment he'd be comfortable in. I love them. 8/10

Hitotsu Shikanai Mono

Complete | SASAKI Mio,SAKURAI Nanako | 2016 released

Uke has a pretty bad inferiority complex to his twin brother so he starts sleeping around under a fake name that... is or is similar to his brother's as a way to defile...them both? That part was a little confusing. Anyway, he meets a friendly salaryman who, in treating the uke kindly, forces the uke to realize he doesn't like his self destructive behavior and starts changing for the better. It was sweet watching the uke discovering how to love himself and the seme was very gentle with him. The only thing I'm lost on is the name thing. Someone explain 7/10

Michizure Policy

Complete | kitakami ren | 2008 released

A classic one sidedly in love with your bff with a sprinkle of that "dont wnna ruin what we have" but don't worry the friend likes you back. Uke is pretty insecure about the romantic relationship and that never quite goes away despite the seme bring 100% devoted to him, so it's a little frustrating, but understandable. He's an anxious guy. 6/10 a meal well made
