The Teijo Academy

Complete | Fuyu Natsushita | 2000 released

I really don't get what this story is about. 3/10 for being so confusing half the comments are just people going ???

I Accidentally Slept With the Guy I Stan

Ongoing | Shiki fujimine | 2022 released

It's just silly and unserious. The uke is very clingy, super insecure, and a just annoying enough that I didn't really like this. I don't think you can take this seriously. It's goofy. The seme is an actor freeloading off the uke who is a massive fan. Uh 3/10 for annoying me

Twilight Cure Important

Ongoing | Miyako mimeko | 2022 released

The fact that they had this miscommunication for so long drove me nuts and even when they met, it just felt clumsy. Mm. 5/10

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

It's Stuck

Complete | Satan | 2023 released

Ehh... that was less consensual than I thought it would be. Uke kept asking the seme to slow down, stop, take the vibrators out and the seme just completely ignored it. Doesn't seem like the uke enjoyed it much either. He was scared . I thought this would be a little sweeter. 3/10

2LDKのカンケイ

Ongoing | Mizuno_yun | 2019 released

Lil oneshot about two girls living together as their individual lives grow and differ. Because it's a oneshot, there's not much room to explore the actually pretty interesting character dynamic of two lifelong friends (to lovers) and how their relationship changes as their lives change. Would love to see a long, deeper dive into that So yeah 5/10, I have no thoughts. The girls did suffer from not looking their age as always, so I'm docking points for that. One day. One day my anime women will actually look like women

Dropped at ch 1. I'll be honest, despite being the rich son of a CEO, the MC is already a pretty grounded person and the ML is fucking annoying? I'm not digging this dynamic. ML is acting like hes teaching a snobby rich kid a lesson, aka acting like an asshole and it's just... no for me -/10

Chijou 100 meter de, Aimashou

Ongoing | Mamita | 2019 released

1st story: A CEO falls in love with a window cleaner. This I feel like had potential but I felt like there were missing scenes to tie the story together. 4/10. 2nd story: Virgin writer working for a BL game company struggles to write sex scenes bc hes never had sex. Naturally his hot younger coworker teaches him the ropes. Very standard. 4/10 Overall, 4/10

Torezoa ~Boku no Takaramono~

Complete | sachimo | 2019 released

Hmm that didnt really do it for me. The story was a little hard to understand. It was too short to do much effective planting and payoff, so the memory erasure plot just seemed like an extra, unnecessary obstacle. There also wasnt any payoff about the familiar thing disliking the hero. Idk. I think I would've liked to see the scenes the amnesia hid from us. Gimme that story instead of popping into random villages and fighting random monsters. Basically, feels like the author had too many ideas they wanted to get across in too short a time, and wound up saxeicing clarity to make things fit (which they didnt) 6/10, it was clearly trying to do something, and I appreciate that even if I was a little confused the whole way through name on MAL is Tresor: Boku no Takaramono

A Song of Blood and Fire

Complete | IRI | 2014 released

I read this a long time ago and remembered likingit. But rereading it now... man I really do not like the seme... Uhhhh the art is really unique and it's rare to see classic fantasy magic in BL so although I'd give it a 4 for story... 5/10
