apopoi's manga / #hot(10)

Kept on repeating the first few chapters..in it for the scenes and not the story as it isn't that great..

I wouldn't give this a star if it weren't for the art style...mc is a sniper (secret agent) and ml is one too..the sex scenes are great but to be honest with you I skipped like a ton of them as I was more invested in the plot...the seme is like my type (in webtoon at least)body and face wise...I have no problem with BDSM but I think the portrayal of it in manhwas or YAOI in general doesn't give it justice from what people in that community says...the thing that gets under my skin is like the gaslighting aspect of it and when he says "to come inside first" and proceeded to lure or entice/manipulate the uke with his words after uke wanted to break up...and a week left until the break up and they had sex like a LOT of it that worries me...when he put beads in his asshole...WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?WHY??I WROTE MORE BUT WHEN I SUBMITTED IT OMITTED SOME PARTS!! ..HUH??WHATEVER!!IT ISN'T WORTH MY TIME ANYWAY...WOULD give it a three stars BUT after this problem..1 is deserved

The smut scenes don't really do it for me. The constant like staring or whatever Giovanni has it going on for our MC should have made me like anticipate for like the climax*wink, wink* but it just feels very odd. The artstyle is very minimalistic, though that would usually be a compliment coming from someone like me, it is unfortunately a bad thing in this case. The sketches make them feel robotic and it doesn't feel smooth. It feels static. The plot itself is so stupid and common that it just made me roll my eyes everytime they mention it in the scenes that the mc and ml are in together, we all know it is a plot device to bring two unlikely dudes together to have some spicy moments and naughty interactions going on. So? my judgment..two stars maximum

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!!

This is it, the perfect mix of shounen-ai and yaoi. The ml is not overbearing to the point that it feels suffocating but enough to fulfill that craving and the MC although a pushover and a naive person has some degree of backbone and a stubborn personality to him. The sex scenes are so intimate and personal that it feels like we are intruding on their space rather than the author flaunting that they can write a smexy scene that is droolworthy. Ahh their dynamic is seriously adorable and it is not unrequited. The ML is as much in love as the MC is though he refuses to date him for personal reasons alluding to the fact that he is an orphan and the very relatable reason that he can't even look after himself so how is he supposed to care for another person? UPDATE (6/3/23): I am caught upto ch50 and the translations are not the best. I was under the impression that I hated clingy and crybaby uke but this uke Dojun is just so soft and squishy that I can only adore him. Jaehee is lucky, also his type is a puppy...the lengths he went through to get close to him was funny. He found his ideal type, what other girls he dated found to be burdensome like his possessiveness, persistence, walking home everyday and excessive skinship..he welcomed all of it. Also Dojun doesn't have a single muscle in his body..his tummy is so soft and I like how when Jaehee touches it, it has some fat to it

I read the first two chapters or so a while back, and I liked it. The premise is interesting. The uke is reckless, what person in their sane mind would just barge into a mafia's den? Our uke..He is a righteous person fighting tooth and nail for his client..there are mafias pulling the strings in this specific case and of course it's our seme.. Update (27/02/23): I have read upto ch30 and I have to say it was completely different from how I imagined it would be. The seme is smitten for the uke from the get go. He is so patient with him that it's actually funny..like the uke slapping him randomly and him just sitting there stunned. The uke is a firecracker, the way he behaves is akin to a YA female character, with him being very irrational, not thinking things through and getting upset over the most minute things. Is there a mystery to why the seme cares so deeply for the uke? Besides..the seme is not as heartless as I imagined him to be, I mean he DID pull up a gun on a child BUT..Him using the uke as bait and as a way to lure people out, a traitor within their midst. When uke found out about this, he was upset. He is starting to catch feelings... Also the seme does not force himself on the uke as well. That's such a strange thing, not me rethinking all the YAOIS I have watched..Their first kiss, he asked in exchange for providing him with the document he needed. Him inviting him to his house to help him and breaking his scooter so he could stay over his house..all of his antics are adorable(?) The cousin..I don't hate him but he gotta prove himself. UPDATE (10:15) same day️ Well, I have read upto ch50 currently and the seme has raped the uke by now. It was not as brutal as I thought it would be, there were no blood and he was gentle with him even though he was rough..I don't know how to explain it. Maybe my standard is all fucked up ever since I read that manhwa where the top forced himself on the bottom without prepping so the bottom was dripping blood *shudders*( Waterside night). So we can deduce that the seme being the Tsar comes with a painful childhood, he even confessed to being kidnapped three times as a kid until he could learn to escape on his own. Also my theory of them having some type of connection in the past was totally thrashed..it seems the top has fallen for the bottom completely through their many interactions and has been interested since he first met him. The cousin is a shady motherfucker, him being so happy go lucky and being so attached to his cousin was a result of him trying to outthrow him. He also didn't kill the uke when he has the chance, it was a plan conjured by the two cousins. But he put poison on it for extra insurance..he knows how to attach himself to those in power and has no loyalty, a slimy bastard. When the uke threatened him, it made me smile like a proud mom. The sniper dude is interesting..he moves according to orders yet he seems to have his own agency as well. He is an enthusiast for spilling blood, him giving his contact info to the uke was..ugh tearworthy. The father is not as bad as I thought, it seems that's a common theme in this manhwa. Very half-ass characters, it seems the author did not want to fully commit to the characters mental psyche, past traumas, give substance to the characters..it is implied but not the whole story. That's a very safe approach. The seme is very callous in love so he doesn't know how to express himself though his actions betray his disguise. I was actually surprised at how patient he was towards the uke, like he gave him so many chances until he finally snapped. The bottom line was the uke trying to escape Russia, then he shot him in the stomach and leg and raped him for a week straight while giving treatments at the same time. He was so rough yet he held onto him so tightly and saying stuff in a daydream like "When I found you, there was no use in you attempting to escape" or "I will not allow you to leave my sight"..Also the way his hands trembled when he touched him or he froze when the uke said "Do you think I will be able to forgive you?". UPDATE (1/3/23) 12:18 am - So the main story is already completed now and the side stories are the only thing left. But I like how the uke still addresses the raping and shooting thing and how he himself has a problem since he is able to still be with him and likes him still. Also the prospect of marriage is inconceivable to him since his mom waited for his dad who left them for some unknown reason and her last words were to him as well so...Never knew the fountain pen he used to threaten the seme was the last piece of the 14 pens in his collection. How he met the uke was also told from his POV..a series of unlucky things happened to balance the sheer luck he would bring...the fact that he could not sense the uke and thought it to be his last day but turned out to the one he obsess over....also his size is way too large..very scary. Also how the uke passes out several times yet he keep going and doesn't seem to be satisfied with him going on and on about how he is holding it in. He proposes to him and asks for the 14th pen as a gift, that's cute. The cousin confuses me. His dad is a menace. Also how his heart pounded in the last panel as he says to his cousin "I will let you in on a little secret. When he looks at me like that, I am unable to resist him"

The cover screams tension, plot and psycho!! UPDATE (5/3/23)Pffft this was not what I expected at all. The above statement was my initial impression of this manga. The MC being a Kansai person and getting angry at the preconception that Kansai people are funny and go along with the flow while he isn't both was hilarious. Osaka people in particular they say are weird and have a strange sense of humour like Asahi from Treasure so...The cannibal guy, Lev freaked me out so much but he was raised like that by his parents and being told that humans want to eat human meat instinctually but settles for pork and beef was fucked up. He has an obsession with Dieter for sure, his involvement towards his misfortune is central. Him eating his dad's corpse (I think) and telling his mom not to bury him in the forest in such a shallow hole etc was chilling. He didn't want it to be found out since he wanted Dieter to remain his friend. Also him egging his mom on by saying that he looks like his dad or talking about his strength saying it hurts when he was only pulling him along. All of it accumulated to her trying to kill him and him ending up killing her, her telling him that it was not his fault was heartbreaking. So Dieter is 30 years old, huh? I mean the beard gave it away but he was older than I expected. Anna is such an interesting case, first cross-dressing as a girl and his mental illness. He freaks me out tho. I can't believe that Lev was the one who put that complex onto Dieter and was the reason he put on that silly mask, even recommending that he made the mouth like his. Taichi likes Dieter now but him hilariously going with the flow and his antics are so funny. Also their dynamic is so wholesome ironically. I loved reading this

The synopsis is so straight forward that it slices through the air. Aight I'll give it a try but why a woman boob in a YAOI UPDATE (18/3/23): Awww..I read only upto Ch1 for now but I like the direction that this is going. The uke is the seme's favourite camboy(he wears a mask and hat, masturbates infront of viewers who gives him money, the seme is one of his top sponsors). The uke's 'toys' were delivered to the wrong place, that is the seme's so the seme went there to give it to him and tell him off. Then he meets the uke, who fits his ideal type to a T. Cute, innocent, baby-faced with a built body. But he is soon turned off from his attitude and tells himself that he isn't going to watch him any longer. But he still watched him, and imagines his face now since his face only elevated him higher up his list. The seme is a writer of some sort I guess? He only imagines dirty stuff while being near the uke and checks him out frequently. Then when the uke saw him throwing out books cuz he thought it was boring, the uke made a face which the seme is again offended by. Then, he promised himself again that he won't watch him then saw that the uke was doing some sponsor with vibrators up his ass which the intensity only grows to the amount of sponsors he gets. That's how the seme spent his hard-earned money..and he is satisfied with it. The chapter ends with him receiving the wrong order again and going over to his place to give it to him saying that 'this will be the last time' with a face that was clearly looking forward to seeing him UPDATE (24/3/23): I have read upto Ch10 and it is starting to get fun. There is a link established now between the two. Dowon pseudonym in the writing and photography world is Coral Snake, which Beom has been a fan of since he was young. He said his books helped him through the darkest times in his life, which explains why he got visibly upset and angry when he saw Dowon throwing away Coral Snake's books(not knowing that it was him all along, with the added comment that it was boring from Dowon..yikes). Beom's past though much has not been revealed as of now, his childhood was not the best. Since he had a pretty face, he was called pretty and beautiful wherever he went to which his chauvinist excuse of a father said some bullshit about how 'guys aren't supposed to be pretty'. Now his mom also isn't the best, after comforting him she just left like...huh? The peaches were a tool for apologies as well as taunting. Beom who has been single since birth does not want to go out on a date with Dowon who asked him since in his defense, Beom kissed him first and that kiss felt intimate so he was certain that he liked him. Now Beom refuses him and somehow the conversation shifted to sextoys and how that feel better than the real thing. But I agree with Dowon that the argument is invalid since Beom never did it for real. Oh FYI Beom has inverted nipples, which is sexy apparently. I like how their relationship is heading towards. Both are very immature and pure in a way. Beom is 24 years old and Dowon seems to be older since he called him young.

So this a bunch of oneshots with no concrete plot. And each chapter is super short. The uke is the tan daddy with the seme being the puppy blondie. Gege is a term for older brother and it feels very intimate and heart pounding when seme calls uke that. Also the seme is the ultimate clickbait. I love how he isn't feminine yet is still a bottom. It's just his preference, he likes taking it up his ass. Simple as that.

Welp.. This was one of the things I read when I was deep in the incest trap. I still am to some extent but I don't seek it out now (only in fiction btw since I like taboo and controversial issues). I was pleasantly surprised by the exploration of the lil bro's inferiority complex and his blind devotion to his big brother. I'm glad they addressed that in this manga, it sticks out from other mangas in the same vein as this because unlike the others, this actually tells us the ins and outs of why he feels this way. In addition to that, it also sheds light on how this relationship affects their life outside their little twincest bubble. The big brother is very interesting in hindsight.. He never thought of his lil bro like that but he didn't seem to mind it when he found his brother touching him.. Since he felt good. This sentiment is also shared by the seme..he thinks to himself 'this is how nii-san has always been, he just goes with things that give him pleasure or satisfaction'. He doesn't think or function like the normal person. The idolization part also fascinates me. I love the drama aspect of it too and like the thought of other people regarding their dynamic.. Even his(the seme) friend comments if it's not tiring wiping his ass for him. I also love how this extends over to their adulthood when they move out or go job hunting and not just students. It makes the story more solid that way. That's all.
