Ashita wa Docchi Da!
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..
Love Is An Illusion
I actually wrote a fucking long review earlier and it somehow got deleted...fucking hell..I don't have the energy to write it all again...fuck it was so detailed too..my mood is sour...omega uke and alpha seme...seme was an asshole turned sweetheart and head over heels in love with uke...the change was quite sudden tho...but I like it I love the seme later personality more since I've had my fair share of trashy seme to lovely uke...the power dynamic is uke likes something seme tries whatever to achieve it..that kinda thing...needless to say seme is incredibly possessive and sex seems to be on his thought 24/7...uke is my type of mc...the comments made it seem like he was some ungrateful twat, selfish bastard, a whore, gold digger etc...but if I were in his position..I wouldn't be making this morally "correct" choices either...give him a break...he gets pregnant all of a sudden, wants an abortion (isn't allowed to), is promised a hefty amount of money for the child, agrees as he is hella broke, and when he tries to leave, gets hit with a "you're going to leave your child?"...shit like this gets on my nerves..why do people automatically assume when you have a child that you don't have a life anymore and your sole existence is centered around this child...he is a kid...he goes to college? He has his life ahead of him..so yeah...a bunch of "pick me girls" in the comment section...this is a thing I want to stop seeing..fujoshis are a different breed of hypocrites...that's all...Ciao
INSECRET
The art style puts me off...why are their eyes so far apart? The dynamic isn't the best...there is not much focus on the idol aspect of it tho I didn't have much hope as it is a YAOI and smut..so all about the sex..the frustration...dirty talk...tension...drunk sex...etc...feels a bit redundant...it is so surface level...the story telling, the characters, the pacing etc are just so plain...the constant blushing looking like they're sick...the gaslighting...mc is a pushover...a horny one but a pushover nonetheless...read it till ch17...well 16 but I got upto 17(the first few scenes) and dropped it...ml is so typical...the thing I hate is we all know both of them are horny guys fucking day and night...basically everywhere...yet there is no lust, tension, heart stopping, chest heaving, teeth clenching sex scenes...they do it in public too yet I couldn't feel the urgency...the thrill of being caught in the act..so a two stars..Kay?
Haven
Seriously...the people responsible for the cover pages need a raise..luring me to read this kind of manhwa..I'm not unfamiliar with the so called "possessive/territorial' seme bordering abuse (in some cases 'yes')..but wow this really takes the cake for the shittiest seme and uke combo I've seen and trust me I've seen a lot...stepbrothers with an age gap of three years..the younger brother is a model and elder a food designer(?)of some sort...the uke used to be different...getting into fights, not caring about anything..he was a thug basically..but an accident occurred where he met this mental dominant alpha who did something to him...oh by the way it's an omega verse (SURPRISE!!)..He used to be a beta but now is an omega..so alpha×omega..anyway he is blind on one eye and his whole demeanor and vibe.. personality changed...in my opinion for the worse..he saw his younger brother after that accident and decided to live for him and change...the younger brother went through physical, mental, emotional and all type of abuse..heck maybe spiritually also...who knows? from his mother who is a dominant alpha (therefore he is too)...his bio dad is a painter someone with a lower background than his mom..they got married..divorced...mom descends into madness..remarried..abuses her son..her new husband walks on her suffocating her son with a pillow...takes ml out of her hands and remarried with MC's mom..viola they meet..blah blah...ml develops an unhealthy in all ways possible attachment with mc...cuz he treats him with care, affection and all things good...he needs a therapist and bring uke too...but not together cuz that's dangerous...seme goes into a rut and goes to mc for it...they have sex cuz uke couldn't see his little brother in pain or distress so SEX..the relationship continues..the seme spies on him...listening on his conversations... monitoring him using that glasses of uke...either uke is stupid or the writer is...pick one...he just randomly leaves work when he sees mc talking with someone he doesn't know and barges into uke's cafe..this happens several times yet uke doesn't suspect a thing..huh? Nani?..the sex isn't good..the characters are all anorexic as hell..the drawings are creepy..some level of mystery that isn't really a mystery is there...I managed to read till ch20 plus a few scenes of ch21 but yeah I dropped it...therefore it is in the 'already read' section... currently it is upto ch50..I'm only writing a review so I can spare myself some time in the future when I come across this cuz I'm gonna forget it and wanna read it...so let this serve as a warning ️️..DO NOT READ!!
Love Shuttle
The first omega verse I ever read...it holds a special place in my heart..it has some cliches yet it doesn't matter as it serves the plot..the seme and uke are very casual around eachother...there is no power abuse going on...God knows how rare that is in YAOI...also their dynamic is so wholesome? The seme is possessive yet still cares for the uke and doesn't cross the line...maybe sometimes...the uke is not the typical omega as he is strong, has a large build, is not feminine, cute...so people around him are unaware of his identity as an omega and assumes he is an alpha...love uke but it kinda upsets me how he treats his elder brother when he only cares for him...on that topic the brother's relationship with the doctor is worrying me...if the main couple relationship is a breath of fresh air with no power abuse, age gap, or like experience gap or whatever that thing is....the side couple's relationship is exactly that...the brother is so cute, sweet and tries his best but that doctor is a sadist through and through...no one can convince me otherwise...the sex scenes are WOW... Currently I'm at ch74..will continue at a later date
Big Apple
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
My Suha
Seme is obsessed with uke...Boss×employee...seme already knew uke when he was child...uke went out with his elder brother...there is an age gap between them with uke being older...Suha is the uke and the title 'My Suha' already tells us seme is hella possessive and a bit mental....some insecurities are there...uke is a whore...they run into a gay bar...uke sleeps with other people after they alredy had sex...seme is angry...from upto what I've read...He locked him up??It's OK..not as bad as people say..It doesn't bother me..
Cherry Blossoms After Winter
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...
Dangerous Convenience Store
The Ahjuicy returns!! I read this till 40+ chapters I think??..My friend absolutely adores this..not gonna lie the awkward situations and relatability of their situations (social ones) cracked me up..when the ml compliments him then mc responds but he isn't interested anymore?so funny..my friend enlightened me on some of the plotpoints since I kinda skipped it and felt it wasn't as important so yeah..there is a time skip and mc still loves ml..ml disappeared cuz he about that life..however I remember being pleasantly surprised by mc's logical side of not wanting to respond to ml becuz of his lifestyle and his past experience..kudos to the first ever logical uke!!
