Hatsukoi no Tonari

Complete | UNO Yukiaki | 2016 released

Very fluffy former student x former teacher. Teacher (seme) moves in next door to his former student (uke) and cant cook for shit so the uke starts cooking for him. The more time they spend together the more the seme realizes the uke likes him and comes to like the uke too. Its short, sweet and simple 6/10 it's cute but we dont get to really know the characters outside their relationship at all.

Tonari no Sugar Boy

Complete | SHINOMIYA Suzu | 2020 released

High school boy starts cooking for and caring for his scruffy but hot neighbor, they fall in love, there is some very light drama, they confess, the end. Mmmmm not a fan of the age gap. Could've just... not made him a high schooler and this would be less sus. But cute i guess? Theres the The classic mistaking the sister for a gf which is annoying. And well. I guess they at least kinda waited until the kid graduated. Idk 5/10?

Tokyo Adventure

Ch 5-6: cute guy works at a coffee shop and had a crush on the pretty guy who does his work there. Pretty guy suddenly confesses and theres a lil bit of angst 5 ot 6/10

The Stranger in the Hoarding House

Complete | Joe Aruku | 2022 released

Very cute and sweet story of a gomi yashiki being pulled out of a depressive dump and gaining the courage to change for the better with the support he needed. It takes longer than just a couple weeks to break through something like this, but the story still felt realistic, giving the character a little thing here or there to nudge them along to recovery. I wish I would be longer to delve more into the internal problems it set up for each character, but given the time constraint, I'm glad it was resolved happily. 7/10

Muhyeok and Naui: My Irresistible Neighbor

Complete | Nalchi, Gimmgim, Flying Fish | 2023 released

Nahhhhhhhh nahhhhhhhhh the seme freaking sucked and the sex comes out of nowhere. Like, imo, theres no indication that the seme is interested in the uke sexually or romantically, and also pretty sure he was straight??? Since he mentioned having to ask his gay friends??? Too abrupt, zero chemistry, uke clearly hates his guts. Waste of a hot tattooed seme -/10

Ongoing | Nakaochi | 2022 released
