Yane's manga / #drama(317)

My rating: 4/10 It's just like the old yaois with an emotional and passionate seme and a beautiful but kinda cold and obsessive uke. Idk, I don't really care about the characters somehow. And this rapey start throws me off. EX HOST, STEPBROTHERS After having a huge debt pushed on him the seme returns to his family's house he ran away from 7 years ago. He encounters his stepbrother (uke) who surveyed him all this time and asks him for money. But the uke wants for him to live with him again in return.

My rating: 7,5/10 The story is actually better but the translation is confusing. On top of that, the ending is unsatisfying. But as I said, it's interesting, the investigation entangled with the romance is gripping and the art's beautiful. Both protagonists are hot, the uke is determined and the seme is cool. POLICE, RAPE, MURDER A police officer (uke) gets aroused when in danger. One day, he picks up an injured man (seme) and gets raped by him. They stay in contact bc the seme is involved in a murder case and the uke wants information from him.

My rating: 10/10 This is a beautiful story about growing up, bullying, abuse and neglecting parents, falling in love and learning to stand on your own. The character development is immense, Heechan's in particular. The slow burn gets u involved and it's so well-written it gets me emotional every time. There are some predictable parts but this doesn't make it any less perfect. SCHOOL LIFE, ABUSE Jin Hyuk, a model student living alone in a big apartment, one day witnesses Heechan, the leader of the bullies in his class, being beaten by his father in a shitty neighbourhood. Heechang notices him too. This marks the starting point of a long relationship.

My rating: 8/10 The art is top-notch and the romance starts with a (careful) seduction. It's a younger puppy seme x older mature uke pairing and I love it. Loving the uke helps the seme turn his life around. SPOILER: But the uke is traumatised so at first the seme has to tiptoe around him. I don't like how the murder case didn't get solved. THIEF, EX COP, YOUNGER SEME A thief (seme) gets caught stealing a wallet by another man who forces him to return it and to apologise. On top of that, he forces the seme to work at a book shop for 1 day in exchange for not handing him over to the police. Out of anger, the seme breaks into his house the next day but realises that he's an ex cop. He tries to distance himself but then he hears something about the uke's past that he can't get out of his head. SPOILER: The uke's former partner (at work) got murdered by criminals who waited in his home and wanted revenge. The uke was the one to find his corpse and quit working as a coup after that thinking that he was unfit for the job bc he couldn't protect his partner. He's traumatised and at first couldn't even go into his apartment. That's why, when he finds out that the seme is the one who broke in, he gets really angry. But he forgives him after seeing his sincere regret.

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 It's an enjoyable read with a bit of drama, a bit of comedy and a cute romance (I u count that rapey stuff at the beginning out). The seme's a playboy yakuza boss and really eccentric ready to enjoy life. The uke's a normie, really cute. YAKUZA, TAXI DRIVER After saving a wounded man who entered his taxi by helping him escape, the man comes to the uke again declaring that he will repay him. He turns out to be a yakuza boss. After the uke doesn't react to the prostitutes he brought, the seme takes him upstairs and has sex with him instead. Since then, the uke has to accompany him on various (scary) occasions.

My rating: 8/10 I like the drama, these intense and conflicted emotions make it interesting, wanting to know when the uke will find out keeps u going. The ending is too rushed tho and so the seme had a rapid change of character bc of a 5-year time skip. The art's beautiful. HISTORICAL, REVENGE 10 years ago the seme's parents were killed and his village burned down by the king bc the king's mistress hid there with her son (uke). Years later, the prince (uke) comes to him without recognising him searching for herbs to heal his friend. The seme decides to take revenge and kill him.

My rating: 8,6/10 This is a piece of art portraying the feeling of forbidden longing in truly aesthetic and beautiful way. It's all about beauty and its inspiration for an artist. They're both possessive but manage to find a better life together. TATOO, ARTIST, MUSE A young tatoo artist (seme) gets commissioned to transfer a popular artist's painting onto the man's beautiful muse and model (uke). The seme can't help but feel drawn to him, but the uke belongs to the artist.

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: 9,5/10 The way the author portrays the world on the brink of destruction, the emotional turmoil and the regret the characters experience and how all this makes them find together captures me. The seme was an ass, but that makes it more interesting for me. METEOR, SUICIDAL In 10 days, the world will be destroyed by a meteor. The uke decides to spend his last days in the library but meets his ex (seme) from college there who cheated on him. The seme offers to give him a drug granting a painless death in exchange for him helping him dispose of a corpse. SPOILER: The "corpse" is still alive. He's a student who wanted to die. The seme tested the drug on him bc he actually wanted to commit suicide himself. Even though he's rich, his business failed, he regrets not helping his friend before her suicide and also misses the uke. They end up trying to take the student home before the end and meet the younger brother of the seme's dead friend (she was an idol). The brother crossdresses. They change their destination bc the student was a huge fan of the idol and wants to hp her siblings get home. Over time, they grow close and the uke and the seme get back together. In the end, the meteor doesn't hit the earth.
