Daytime Star
My rating: 8/10 The art is extraordinary and there's a lot of fluff. They're one of the cutest couples out there, a bit cheesy sometimes but still a really good romance where u really feel the love. The ML is a green flag, like a knight in shining armour for her, the damsel in distress. I'm glad she becomes more confident, she's a bit too insecure at first. Luckily there's no villainess here. ACTOR, FAMOUS ML, TOXIC EX After her boyfriend breaks up with her and invites her to his wedding the FL catches the eye of the ML, a famous actor. Later they meet at a film set again and he helps her out. Since then they can't forget each other and he reaches out to her wanting to get to know her. But she's still afraid to be deceived again.
My Darling Liar Boy
My rating: 7/10 This romance is pur fluff with one of the best green flag semes out there. He looks like a deliquent but is really gentle and thoughtful. The uke is cute, u can see how much he loves the seme by the way his attitude changes when he's with him. The plot itself is simple, the couple is what makes it good. FRIENDS, PRANK, COLLEGE The uke has been in love with his friend (seme) since high school and decides confess as a prank when his friends challenge him without knowing his feelings. But the seme takes it more seriously than anticipated. This is getting too real ...
Toumei na Ai no Utsuwa
My rating: 9,5/10 This is so beautiful, it's a gem. The angst really gets me, the fear of losing the one u love, realising that u bring them harm ... This truly is worth rereading. The seme seems old and young at the same time bc he only now starts to feel strong emotions. The uke is a kind soul. Reading about them leaves me so satisfied. FANTASY, UNHAPPINESS The uke has always been prone to bad luck and thus isolated himself. One day, he meets a semitransparent man (seme) who tells him that he's a monster surviving by eating someone's negative emotions. The seme asks him to be his host and the uke agrees bc then at least he isn't lonely. SPOILER: The seme becomes weak bc of the uke's love and thinks it's gonna kill him but he doesn't wanna leave the uke so he plans to die. But the uke's love actually works like bitter medicine. It gives him a soul and thus makes him human. They have a happy ending.
Shinigami wa Korosenai
My rating: 8/10 The art makes this so much better! They're all hot but the seme really stands out. The plot is good but the end feels a bit rushed/like the end of a season. I want more. The translation isn't the best but it's alright. GOD OF DEATH, FANTASY Since surviving a deathly disease as a child the uke has been accompanied and protected by a large shadow. He always gets into dangerous situations and miraculously comes out unscathed. One day he decides to try and meet the shadow so he tries jumping from his balcony. The shadow appears. He's a handsome man (seme), the god of death. But how long can he protect the uke from his fate to die?
Fukouchuu no Shiawase
My rating: 9,5/10 This is hilarious, an interesting love comedy with a strong uke and a softy seme. It's fun seeing the uke become desperate after his good luck vanishes. The seme's pitful bringing harm to the humans he loves. But it's wrapped up nicely. This lifts my mood. GOD OF CALAMITY, COMEDY An office worker who's always had good luck suddenly experiences a streak of bad luck. He prays to a jizo to get help. Soon after he sees the cause of his misfortune. A guy following him around, the god of calamity send to balance out his good luck.
TALIM - Dare mo Shiranai Ryu no Hanashi -
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.
Darlin', Iikagen ni Shiya Gare
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.
Orikou Yaju Niwa Aragaenai
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.
Hajime no Koi (NISHIMOTO Rou)
My rating: 10/10 This beautiful slow burn manages to tell a pure and emotional story in spite of the topics it addresses. The seme discovers the meaning of love and the uke meets someone who loves him back. Both of them are well-written characters with their own individual personality. The art is gorgeous and the characters are hot. PROSTITUTION, EX YAKUZA, AGE GAP After his boss dies for love the seme leaves the yakuza seeking to live a normal live. One day, he meets a beautiful boy (uke) in a bus who pays for his ride. He can't forget the way the uke looked at his lover. But later he finds out that the uke is a prostitute and decides to buy him every day and study with him to make him stop selling his body.
