Yane's manga / #Sweet(76)

My rating: 7/10 It's cute and fluffy. Nothing much happens but I still enjoyed watching them create a happy family. What's interesting tho is that the big difference between a human and a dragon life span gets addressed. This is often ignored. DRAGON, FLUFF The seme has always been fascinated by dragons. One day, he goes into the mountains to investigate the strange experiences his neighbours had and meets a dragon who can transform into a man (uke). The 4th ch contains a bunch of cute short stories.

My rating: 9,2/10 Again the author managed to captivate me with their story. The characters feel refreshingly real and not like the stereotypical uke and seme. They could very well be seke. The romance is fluffy, this warms my heart. FARM, FLUFF, FOREIGNER A naive half-Italian, Kokoro (uke), arrives at Haiji’s (seme) village and soon breaks the ice with the villagers due to his friendly personality. Haiji looks out for the touchy-feely Kokoro who lacks life-skills and can’t help but fall for him.

My rating: 8/10 This is a cute historical romance with a sweet and frank seme and a mature uke. U really notice that it's bara, it has a totally different charm. I like how the life during that time is described, the only thing missing is the uke's confession. This love is a bit one-sided that way. HISTORICAL, DRIVER The master of the Inamiya apothecary (uke) employs a new driver (seme) and is really taken with his blunt and honest side. But one day he finds the driver's journal full of texts about him and realises that the main loves him. Since then, he is concious of him.

My rating: 6/10 The whole set-up with the gay training camp is a bit forced the uke's awkwardness gave me second hand embarrassment but it's still very cute and wholesome. 2 chapters are about the other 2 guys in their friend group. For both couples it feels like a proper end is missing. ROOMMATES, FLUFF An antisocial novelist (uke) goes to a training camp for 2 weeks and ends up sharing a room with an extroverted and cheerful guy (seme). But what he doesn't know: this camp is actually a place where gay people gather.

My rating: 8,3/10 It's pretty cute. Sumire falling for his pretty senpai, the senpai finding someone with pure feelings for him, they're an adorable couple. And Sumire is just such a good-hearted person. But the senpai's popularity seems a bit over the top. SCHOOL LIFE, POPULAR SENPAI When Sumire transfers to a new school he encounters the school "madonna" a popular, beautiful guy who seems to be a lone wolf. But he takes a liking to Sumire after he tries to defend him during a fight. They get close and one day, his senpai kisses Sumire.

My rating: 9,6/10 This makes me tear up. It's so sad and beautiful, 2 lonely souls yearning for love finding and saving each other. They're so different and yet so similar. The seme's story in particular is tragic. The art is top-notch. ASSASSIN, BLIND 5 years ago, the seme's brother died in front of his eyes bc the seme couldn't fulfill his mission and kill the target like his father wanted. He still can't forget the nearly blind boy (uke) who took his hands without realising what was going on back then. Since then, he hasn't been able to kill anybody. But one day, he meets the boy again. And he can't help but get close to him.

My rating: 8/10 I really like the message: "Too many easy lies can make people lose trust in you". The seme slowly realising that and him changing bc he becomes attached is satisfying. Ut the regret is too short, it's kinda a rushed ending. POPULAR SEME, LIES An office worker (seme) goes through life lying to make things easier. One day, at a party with students from his former university, he meets a student (uke) he likes. He tries to flirt him up like usual but the boy sees through him. He agrees to go out with him for 1 month and then decide whether to stay or not.

My rating: 8/10 This is simple but it makes me feel warm inside. Both characters can leave their issues behind and start over together teaching each other the things they missed. The uke is straightforward and energetic, the seme is very caring but lies to look good. OFFICE WORKER, CLOSETED GAY An office worker (seme) is a closeted gay but tries going out with women. He gets interested in the gay man (uke) he sees at the spot where he meets his fiancee. After she leaves him, the seme gets close to the man. But the uke doesn't want to go out with straight men bc of his ex.

My rating: 8,4/10 This beautiful and cute romance not only lifts my mood, it also addresses the dark side of being a child actor in a serious but not heartbreaking way. The protagonists growing closer and coming to understand each other better while benefiting from their differences makes this a good read. ACTOR, CHILD ACTOR A popular actor who's bad with children has to live together with the boss's son, a child actor he's gonna star with in a film. But then the child's manager turns out to be the former child actor he admired who quit without telling the reason.

My rating: 8/10 It's interesting to read bc the characters have some depth. The uke puts on a mask fearing to be hated and avoids trouble while the seme is straightforward and energetic. I like how they balance each other out so perfectly. It's cute. ROOMMATES, OLDER UKE An office worker (uke) meets a young man (seme) at a mixer his friend forced him to go to. After that they keep bumping into each other until the seme asks him to let him stay at his apartment bc his burned down. The uke wants to avoid someone as troublesome as him, but takes him in anyway.
