Gozou Roppu no Koi
Host (seme) x chef (uke) My rating: 8/10 I like the mixture of fluffy moments and drama. Although the problems are resolved quickly it's still impactful for their relationship. The themes are finding a place for yourself and accepting others without prejudices. The couple's great, the uke's more serious and the seme's optimistic, extroverted and caring. DINER, HOST, DEBT, SHITTY EX, WHOLESOME Ichiro, a poor chef struggling to pay off his debt, runs a small diner with very few customers. But every night, a bunch of hosts come to eat after having finished their work. Although Ichiro isn't really fond of them, he still needs them as customers and treats them. But the most popular one of them, Seiichi, seems to have taken a liking to him. And somehow, his positive and earnest words get him to warm up to the man.
An Average Girl Like You Won't Get Me Hard
My rating: 7,3/10 It was ok. The ML was really forceful and the FL didn't defend herself at all. At first, it bordered rape. The characters are quite childish and the ML is really arrogant. It isn't something you should take seriously. HOST, HAIR STYLIST, ERECTILE DISFUCTION She has been his chosen hair stylist for years now, but when she provocates him, the number 1 host jumps her and discovers that she's the only one he can get hard for. He can't accept that.
Seku Tsuga
Office worker (seme) x host (uke) My rating: 6,5/10 It was alright, nothing special. It started off as a funny and horny story but later became more serious as one gets the omega's backround. What's good is that the omega isn't inferior to the alpha. During sex, they're both very passionate. HOST, MATE When an alpha enters his club asking an omega host to give a present to his boss who's being transferred, the omega agrees. But at the same time, he tries to seduce the alpha resulting in both of them going into heat an becoming mates. Since then, the alpha won't leave him alone.
Light of My Life
My rating: 9/10 This is a dramatic story about suppressed feelings and unwanted guilt. The way the author portrays these tangled up feelings is amazing and the characters are well-written. Especially the uke's unique, he's free-spirited and full of energy but lacks basic survival skills. I love him. HOST, FRIENDS TO LOVERS They were two close friends with big dreams. The seme wanted to become a soccer player and the uke aspired to be a doctor. But an accident changes their life and years later the seme works as a hairdresser and the uke as a host. This leaves the seme feeling frustrated. Why did his friend throw away his talent? When they move in together the emotions surface.
Jika Renai Chuudoku
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.
Boku No Ai O Shire!
My rating: 5/10 It's alright, entertaining but simple, not memorable. The ukes of the first and third story are cute (but naive) and the second uke is stronger. All 3 stories have the popular seme x normal uke trope. I don't like the second seme. HOST, POPULAR SEME 1) The owner of a host bar (seme) pays the uke's debt for him in exchange for the uke working there bc he's his type. 2) The most popular playboy host tries to make his colleague his. 3) The seme goes to a matchmaking service but refuses all his partners bc he just wants to meet the worker assigned to him (uke)
