Yane's manga / #age gap(91)

My rating: 7/10 It's good. I like the complexity of the characters, especially the seme. He is arrogant and a player but actually has his own problems as well and can admit his weaknesses. The story addresses grief, homophobia and how it affects gay couples. What bothers me tho is the seme's past relationship with the uke's brother. The dude really did the seme dirty just dropping him like that. That's sad and the seme isn't even angry ... OLDER SEME, OFFICE WORKER An office worker (seme) sleeps around with guys. One night, he hooks up with a college student (uke). But he meets him again as the part-timer at his company. He doesn't know that the uke is his dead ex's younger brother.

Cute but too short, they don't get together

My rating: 7,5/10 Vampire x human stories are always bittersweet bc the human will die and leave the vampire behind. Here, they both suffer from loneliness when they meet, it's an important theme. For quite some time it isn't clear who of them is the vampire. The uke's impulsive and confident while the seme is calm and gentle. Sadly some things are left unexplained. VAMPIRE, STRONG UKE Mitsuru (uke) lives in his dead grandpa's old villa near a remote village. One day, a mysterious stranger (seme) appears who introduces himself as his grandpa's old friend. Bc he's the uke's type, he decides to tease the seme, but the guy takes it seriously and offers to be friends instead.

My rating: 8/10 It's the spinn-off of Katakoi × Alliance and it's super cute, I love it. The main characters are all lovable, there's not one annoying person here. It's just a wholesome read. The uke's adorable, kind and positive. The seme's more serious but actually a tease. COLLEGE, AGE GAP, FLUFF A college student (uke) asks an associate professor (seme) for love advice after hearing about him from his fellow students. They end up in an arrangement where the uke works as his part-timer and the seme supports him, but will this work like planned when the seme's actually gay?

My rating: 7/10 It's an interesting story with a good setting, likable characters and entertaining dynamics. The seme's overly serious and the uke's energetic and cheeky, they quarrel a lot. But the ending is rushed, kinda disappointing. YAKUZA, HATE TO LOVE A college student (uke) gets sold off to the yakuza by his own brother. He'd rather die than work for them, but then the boss orders him to take care of the group's workaholic (seme) even though they get along like fire and water.

My rating: 6/10 Sadly it's only a oneshot, I want more. I like the FL, she isn't some childlike weak girl but actually strong and she has a temper. But the teacher abuses his position and popularity to get close to her, his student!!! That's pretty creepy actually, even if he's good looking. SCHOOL LIFE, TEACHER, MODEL A high school student (FL) is an ex model who tries to stay unnoticed bc she was bullied in the past. But her teacher (ML) catches a glimpse of her charm and gets interested in her.

My rating: 7,5/10 I've read stories with a similar plot but this one is definitely one of the better sort, it's really adorable. This has the "opposites attract" element I like and they complement each other so well. The uke's serious, an introvert and cute, the seme's extroverted and easygoing. NEIGHBOURS, PLAYBOY SEME An office worker (uke) who hides the fact that he's gay ends up drinking with his new neighbour (seme). But then the seme notices his glances and they hook up. That's the start of their special relationship.

My rating: 9/10 This wholesome story is very engaging, I like that it addresses mental health issues in a more realistic way (although the healing process usually takes more time in reality). The uke's calm and the seme extroverted and kind. The art is amazing. NEIGHBOURS, HOARDER After quitting his horrible job, the uke falls deeper into his depression and locks himself in his flat full of trash. But one day, his new neighbour (seme) comes in and starts cleaning the place with him so the landlady won't throw the uke out.

My rating: 4/10 The age gap is kinda concerning, especially at her age, 20 years are too much. And I don't like that it's constantly shown how childlike she is. This feels wrong. The romance itself is sweet tho, the maid is their greatest shipper. And the ML's so hot. This is for u if u like older men. HISTORICAL, AGE GAP A young noble lady is in love with the empress's brother who's a notorious warrior. She believes that he's out of reach, but when she delivers a message to the royal palace, things take a different turn.

My rating: 10/10 This psychological drama has so many layers it keeps me on my toes. The characters are all interesting and many of them have secrets. It's all a big mystery slowly coming to light. The FL's strong and the art is amazing too. MYSTERY, PSYCHOLOGICAL An author and lecturer hooks up with an older police officer because she wants him to tell her things about his work and help her with her novel that way. But then she finds out that he's the father of the student who loves her. This marks a changing point. One that could be connected to their past as well.
