Under My Skin
Hot carpenter x hot salaryman. The art is super sensual . Starts off dubcon and the seme is very pushy here at first but he let's off a bit and let's the uke figure out what he wants. Story is simple but solid. Very atmospheric tone. Ima give this an 8/10
Nirameba Koi
Last read v4 ch 4 Cuuuuuuute! Kinda tsundere delinquent x the cheerful, helpful student council guy who comes to genuinely love and understand the delinquent. We follow their story across 3 volumes which gives us plenty of time to watch their relationship evolve as they run into and work through various problems together. AND we get to know some of the side characters a bit. Ryuu's boss at his job in vol 3 is an absolute goat . Also shima is so incredibly patient. 9/10 this one's a gem.
Chotto Matte yo Hanaya-san
Hey a mature relationship with drama that makes sense even if its annoying. the miscommunication makes sense as a part of the character rather than a contrivance from the author. the art is unique, which is always a plus. other than the age gap and the uke being a minor for half the story, the relationship is cute and healthy. 7/10
Love Shuttle
got what i wanted out of it. think i stopped somewhere around ch 20? maybe even farther. was good. 7/10
Fukigen na Doudou
This one's a super sweet. The characters are so well written, the story feels grounded and realistic. Their job is an actual part of the plot and the manga shows specifics about their work. THS SEME ACTUALLY STOPS AND ASKS WHAT'SWRONG WHEN THE UKE SAYS NO AND STOP DURING SEX. Very sweet. 9/10
Orokamono Wangeru Naito
Upset cuz his boyfriend stole all his money and abandoned him, uke recklessly climbed up a mountain, almost dies, and has to be saved by a gruff policeman. They spend one steamy night together and the uke falls in love. policeman seme has some emotional trauma having lost his best friend to a river rescue and it takes a while for him to open up. Is good. Solid 7 or 8/10 name on MAL is Orokamono Wangel Night (lmao "wangel")
Hot and Cold
guy brings home the wrong AC unit. 5/10 but a 7 in my heart
Houkago no Etude
last read v2 ch 10. Idk if theres more but I think I'm good here. Update ch 5. uh, so... so far the seme is adorable and the uke has very sexy, power bottom vibes... but we gonna talk about the creepy pedophile crap that definitely didn't need to be in this story like at all? Update ch 10. Glad he turned down the creep cus I could smell the isolation and emotional abuse a mile away. The seme is such a sweet guy and I would love this story so much more without the creep. Final verdict: 6/10
Make a Pet Out of a Cactus
Very sensual BDSM but I just wasnt into it. candles... not into candles
