Ookami Shounen wa Uso o Tsukanai (Arakata)

Complete | Arakata | 2018 released

That was cute! Uke suffers from boy who cried wolf syndrome, turning every confession and flirtation with his childhood friend into a joke because he cant handle the humiliation of being truthful. But because of this, the seme doesnt believe him when he tries to be honest. And HE himself also doesnt believe the seme when the seme returns his feelings. Creating a weird misunderstanding when they start dating but neither believes the other really likes them 7/10

Love Note

Complete | Haem satang | 2022 released

Last read ch 3. Way too short to fo anything with that premise but not a bad one. Uke likes his friend, confessed, gets a bad reaction. He finds a Love Note notebook and starts writing all his fiery fantasies in it but then his crush starts acting them out, and then it turns out the seme likes him back and has been reading the notebook. 4/10

Ichi Ni no San!

Complete | Okuyama Puku | 2013 released

Aww that was very sweet. I'm a big fan of friendship trios . The characters do act VERY childish, like elementary schoolers, despite being high schoolers. And they drew the girl like an actual toddler on multiple occasions which is just a pet peeve of mine so I'm docking a point because I'm petty 6/10

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

Light of My Life

Ongoing | Takiba, Minami Fuuko | 2000 released

Seme works as a hairdresser, having given up his dream of being a soccer player. Uke has a lot of guilt for causing the seme's injury, so he became a host to earn the money and network to help seme's salon through advertising. Big angst from both these characters being simultaneously too proud and too lacking in self worth. I did really appreciate that the uke still uses his medical knowledge, although I dont think becoming a host--an industry famous for its unhealthy alcohol dependency--is the best idea... Anyway, 7/10 for the feels
