apopoi's manga / #Childhood Friends(16)

Ashita wa Docchi Da!

Ongoing | Yamamoto Kotetsuko | 2015 released

It has the essence of shounen ai but it doesn't shy away from showing sexual acts...the dicks are uncensored and it is kind of informative tho it wasn't anything that I didn't already know...Vaseline being used as a kind of lube was fascinating? I mean it can work? Kirara is so innocent and simple minded and Ken is just a grumpy and horny teenager plus the good looks height and physique..he is good in fighting..tho it came as a bit of a surprise to me that Aniki is bicurious on top of Ken being gay only for Kirara tho he did date some girls and seem to have experience in kissing etc..the dad is also gay..the brothers hated homos and were homophobic..tho that didn't last...the naivety and logic only work in mangas tho..but anyway the author seems to take inspiration from haikyuu main leads Hinata and Kageyama with the iconic "Hinata boke" with "stupid kirara"..hinata's sunshine like personality and high eq and extroverted nature is reflected on Kirara...it seems like a doujinshi of some sort...the qualms I have is that they are 15 year olds..I would prefer it if they were a bit older...tho it isn't unrealistic..it takes away from a bit of the experience...four stars for this YAOI yet shounen manga..

Cherry Blossoms After Winter

Complete | Bamwoo | 2000 released

Wow..this holds such a special place in my heart since it was my first ever bl. Man the way I gushed, screamed, blushed, hid behind my pillow, punched my sis, the secondhand embarassment and life-changing moments I had with this YAOI or shounen ai was astronomical. My homophobic ass could not handle all the sexy postures the uke was doing. I was like open mouthed :0 at the scene when the ml pressed his dick and mc dick together and jerked them both off..the shower scene?? A classic then the common room scene..I was like LOCK THE DOOR!! They r childhood friends tho I didn't really focus on the plot but I got hella secondhand embarassment from mc when he expected to have sex with ml after he declined the offer and prepared himself..I skipped it!! The story wasn't important..their gazes of longing, the saliva, the sex, the steam and the sex position and situation and their faces during sex was the highlight*ahem* the climax of the story..so sorry for that ( I'm not)..I read it in tapas and it was free only to a certain chapter so I skipped ahead and ch 70+ chapters were unlocked so I saw it and that changed my life completely and I have never looked back since...

19 Days

Ongoing | Old Xian | 2014 released

The comments are super positive and the synopsis is so enticing. I feel like it would be my type of read but 300+ chapters. I need to make a commitment and besides I feel like I would blush or be flustered while reading this so my pillow and phone is gonna be suffering again sadly.

Fucked by My Best Friend

Complete | Yupopo orishima | 2019 released

Shion is so fucking cute and so hot..the seme doesn't deserve him but someone like Shion who is on a league of his own has to settle so I digress, love the self-realization that Shion had while being in a woman's body..he viewed women as objects to lust over and was like a fuckboy so love that for him. The seme seems to like him even before he turned into a woman so there's that. Him blushing in his boy and girl form is cute as heck!! I love him and the comments says he is the dream person of every bi and I can see that! Totally!!

I Failed to Divorce My Husband

Ongoing | 럭키고릴라,Haloje | 2019 released

It's relatively simple and nothing to write home about. The fact that she is a full grown adult I think is just done so that it can fit in the isekai trope and not add to the plot as a whole. Her actions are a bit too immature and the solution she cooks up for the trauma the ml is facing seems to be surface level. It just doesn't feel like an adult woman. She blushes when she sees him, that puts me off a little bit cuz you supposed to be an adult. Why are u pining for a 12 year old? Also does she not have any dating experience of any sorts, why is she so affected by him?

She may not be cute

Complete | zero | 2000 released

What do u mean 'not cute'. She's hella adorable to me..it is a Chinese manhua so cliche is to be expected. Childhood sweethearts..six years difference with our MC being 29 and ML being 23. The ML loved MC since he was a child..he is now a prestigious and renowned patisserie and lived in France with his mom..crying at the thought of departing with the MC as a child telling her that she shouldn't marry anyone while he was away. The MC is afraid of love..giving her heart to someone wholeheartedly and being betrayed so she is skeptical but decided to give a try..to the wrong guy. At the wedding altar, she announced that they will separate giving photos of him cheating as proof which he denies vehemently tho it is clear as day. Now it is followed up by cliches..getting drunk in a bar, spilling her guts about her broken heart, being bothered by her ex left and right, meets her childhood friend(?). And to add to that..it turns out that he will live in the MC's house. Because of her mom..who is also his godmom. I am currently in Ch1O..and it is a nice read.

My Roommate Obsesses Over Me

Ongoing | Natsu saito | 2022 released

This feels like a oneshot. It is a manga so the development over 5 chapters is equivalent to a whole 50 chapters in other stories so there's that. There is nothing special or unique about this story and the situation they are in. But that in itself was nice. The seme who used to be a nerd wearing thick glasses with an obsession for the constellations meet the bubbly and extroverted uke who is open and wants to learn more about his interest. The uke went abroad then the seme learned that he liked him all along, flash forward to the present they are now high-schoolers probably(?) and the seme doesn't recognise him rightaway nor does the uke. However, when the uke went on a montage about the stars, the seme's interest was piqued and he asked him how he came to know that. Then uke says it's because of his name and something 'seven' so the seme is aware that he was his childhood friend whom he harboured an unrequited love towards, the seme is delighted then confesses he likes him and attempts to kiss him. The uke runs away then finds out that seme is his roommate and is woken up by a kiss. Now this whole interaction is bizzare to say the least but I have learnt not to ask questions especially in manga and in particular yaoi or shounen-ai. The seme is elated and is super touchy then the uke runs off after he cummed with seme's hands then blah blah figures out he likes him too. Then searches for him only to find out that no-one has seen him recently then he finds him in the rooftop although it said 'unauthorised'. The seme's justification was that it was a perk enjoyed by an honour student. That's not true irl btw..no-one can have access to the rooftop, I have no idea why it is a thing in animes and mangas. Then both confess. Now comes the conflict..people assume that seme is dating a girl which is not true. But uke is jealous because now the once nerdy and geeky seme is no more, what is now in that place is a confident, extroverted and good-looking guy who is very popular with the girls. The uke becomes insecure (mood) and questions their whole relationship and runs away to the park where they met and is in a swing. The seme catches him then they reconcile. They now have their first date and it has to do with stars. An exhibition of some sort is what I gather from it, the seme initiates intimacy by touching his thighs then rubbing his crotch, the uke swats his hands away then the seme sulks. As if hit by an Eureka of some sort, the uke retaliates by doing the same thing. The exhibition now ends. Then the seme grabs his hand and wants to go home since he couldn't hold himself back anymore and wants to give sex. They have sex..although the seme was gentle, something I can't say for other semes in this genre. ~THE END~

Deep Throat

*chuckles* the title lured me in. There is only one chapter so far but the plot seems very intense. I think they dropped it tbh. So *coughs* deepthroat. The seme I reckon misunderstood the reason he was abandoned by the uke, they knew eachother 12 years ago when they were in middle school. Based on the uke's flashback, the seme used to be more docile and he was the one giving him the deepthroat now he is the one since the seme is in a higher position than him. When I heard the name 'Garam' I immediately thought of Kim Garam from Lesserafim. Such a sad case. He used to be the maknae of the popular group 'Fights' then their boss ran away with their money and he hasn't been able to contact any of them since he did his compulsory military service. Then he saw that there will be a show for 'Popstar' just like AGT in America so he auditioned for it. Then he saw the seme, who at first he thought didn't recognise him then he(seme) pulled him in and asked to meet him in 10 minutes at the smoking area. Then we see that the seme is still not over whatever the uke did to him and offers him maybe the position for sexual favours (deepthroating perhaps?)

I’m the Villainess, but I’m Happy Because I’m Healthy

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Fatphobia? A hint of it but it's not as extreme as some other manhwas. I don't like how everything is immediately resolved after she lost weight. We also know that the final bosses (the marquis and the crown prince) fancies her so it is the same old. Now going from a cute little brother to a man is nothing new. I love how doting her parents are to her too. Also I hate how unfair it is that her magic attribute: strengthening allows her to eat whatever she wants and the calories turn to mana or adds to her magic. Ugh I wish I had that. I read upto Ch6 btw where she turns down the narcissistic crown prince whose world revolves around main characters and supporting characters.

summer season

Ongoing | 밍구르,절구,이로밀 | 2000 released

It's alright. The translation has its moments but it can still be understood so where's the harm? I wrote a very lengthy review for this a minute ago but my phone switched off and all that vanished. So I won't get into the nitty gritty of this story unfortunately. So the ML is an honour student who used to be a promising judo athlete but after sustaining a leg injury, he could no longer go down that path. After dedicating a year to his studies, he managed to secure the top spot in academics. He has liked Eunho for quite some time, it seems. He even jerked off while smelling his school uniform that he left in his closet. He keeps tabs on him by using his friends to tell him everything, who he hangs out with..girls or guys, when they leave etc to telling them not to take him out after school and go alone. Now this is possible because Dohyun caught them smoking using a key that they were not authorised to have, that too with some chicks. He promised not to out them if they did this task for him. Eventually the cat got out of the bag and Eunho is aware of this. Surprisingly he wasn't that concerned over it and just blamed it over his weird behaviour these past days. They have been together since kindergarten to now high school. Dohyun's parents were in a car accident while they were on a vacation to celebrate their wedding anniversary. That traumatic experience made Dohyun a bit scared of driving so in a very cute and wholesome scene, Eunho told him that he would be the one to have a driver's license and all he has to do was sit quietly on the passenger seat. Albeit that was after he confessed about his fear, when Eunho suggested that he drive them together in the future. Eunho is starting to like him and is aware of his every move now, he gets jealous when he sees him with girls etc. This didn't escape Dohyun's eyes and ofcourse the motherfucker is elated. Him buying him a birthday cake even while he was still angry to hiding it in the corner of his fridge, which Dohyun still found. He even called him to come over to his house and asked about the girl he was with, which Dohyun smiled at and asked if he was jealous. Also when he licked the cream off Eunho's wrist after it got on him, Eunho avoiding eye contact to his clenched fist were all things Dohyun was eager to see. All of these things were enough proof of his attraction towards him afterall. Also Dohyun asking him what kind of house he wanted to live in, if it should closer to school etc was so heartwarming since he already put it on stone that they were going to live together after graduation despite Eunho's worries. Also special mention to the gay friend for staying out of their business eventhough it didn't appear that way initially. I love how bold he is, the reason he transferred school in the third year (which is unconventional) was because of his sexual orientation. All of this he said to Eunho in the span of a minute into their first conversation. He also smokes too with Dohyun's friends..I liked that gap too since it appeared like his friends might be bullying him which Dohyun suspected as well. He also offers a cigarette to Eunho when he asked if that tasted good. Now this didn't fare well for Eunho because 1) he coughed since it was his first time smoking 2) Dohyun witnessed this scene. The reaction that Dohyun had was very interesting. He asked to meet in the rooftop, locked it upon arriving which put Eunho on edge and made him wonder if he was going to get beaten up. He also comments that he should have just told him if he wanted to smoke. He offered his cigarette to him(he smokes btw) and told him to suck (uhhmm sir?) The sexual connotation is off the roof in this one. Ofcourse Eunho got even more angry than he already was and stormed out of there after coughing due to inhaling the smoke. This episode was right after they got into an argument after Dohyun outed him to his parents about him smoking and that was the reason they fought.
