Tasogare Outfocus
Gay student (seme) x student (uke) My rating: 8,5/10 SCHOOL LIFE, DRAMA, MOVIE, UNREQUITED LOVE, FRIENDS TO LOVERS, ROOMMATES Tsuchiya Mao is roommates with Otomo Hisashi who is secretly gay, that's why they made 3 rules: I.

Tomodachi Ijou no Koto, Shitai.
My rating: 7/10 It's interesting cuz the uke is actually the confident one even though the seme is the popular hottie. They know each other inside out but are unaware of the other's love. U get a mixed pov so u can see them both struggle with their love. FRIENDS TO LOVERS, ROOMMATES The uke and the seme are childhood friends who go to the same university and live together. They've been in love with each other for years but haven't confessed. But one day, the seme catches the uke masturbating to his jacked and his feelings overflow.
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.
Hoobae's Touch is Healing
My rating: 1,5/10 I cringed so hard, this is so childish and cliché and they manage to give me a severe second hand embarrassment. ROOMMATES, BAND The uke who's living with his popular hoobae (seme), the singer in a band, jerks of every night thinking about him. But one evening, the seme drinks with him and jerks him off.
Koko made Yaru towa Kiitenai!
My rating: 4/10 This story addresses a serious topic and transforms it into something childish and kinda cringe. I mean, this thing about obsession and trauma had much potential, but the the way it's executed takes the drama away, there're no deep feelings, no angst. The plot holes don't make it better. It's a light read with an energetic uke and a serious seme. ROOMMATES, HANDYMAN A handyman (seme) has taken in a guy (uke) who helps with work in return for a roof over his head. On top of that, they're friends with benefits. And although the uke loves the seme, the seme refuses to date him bc of hid past.
Omae wa Hitsuji.
