Yane's manga / #slice of life(90)

Office worker (seme) x student (uke) My rating: 6/10 It was ok. The uke was a bit too tsundere and the seme loved him before even meeting him, it wasn't really realistic. Also, the uke's mom and the seme's cousin annoyed me. The age gap is treated like it's nothing and it doesn't really seem completed. STEP-BROTHERS, ONESHOT After lying about his age and spending the night with a nine years older man, the uke meets him again as the son of his mother's new fiancee.

Student (seme) x exchange student (uke) My rating: 8,5/10 I really liked it. It's pretty heavy actually dealing with trauma and abuse, but it has a happy ending. I like the uke and the seme, they're both strong in their own way. TRAUMA, ENGLAND, SCHOOL LIFE When the uke goes to England as an exchange student to escape the school he was raped in in Japan, he meets a boy who's labelled as a deliquent one shouldn't associate with. But is that really true?

Teacher (seme) x office worker (uke) My rating: 4,5/10 It was nothing exceptional. The story was cute and the romance was fluffy. Overall, it was an easy read. LANGUAGE SCHOOL, TEACHER An office worker gets sent to a language school by his boss in order to learn English. If he doesn't improve in three moths, he'll get fired. But then he falls for his American English teacher.

My rating: 8/10 This was so wholesome, I loved it. The FL was captivatingly cheerful and honest, not this kind of insecure and weak FL. She managed to teach the formerly cold ML real love. CHILD, FINANCIAL GAP, REUNION One year after she left the ML, they meet again at the bar she works at. Unbeknown to him, they have a child she raises with her mother and grandmother. But can she trust the man again who only met her in secret?

My rating: 6,3/10 I really hated the ML. It's unrealistic how someone like him can realise his feelings and become a good husband at the end. He's a control freak who forces the FL to do what he wants. Just no! REUNION, CHILD, JERK ML Many years ago, they were in a passionate relationship, but when she told him about her pregnancy, he threw her away. Due to the shock, she had a miscarriage and left. Years later, they meet again. When the ML realises that their child's twin survived, he comes at her again.

My rating: 8,1/10 The FL has social anxiety due to her horrible mother, but she is a boss. How she told the ML to sit down, I loved it! The ML was likable too, he respected her and listened. Luckily, there were no toxic people in the story. MARRIAGE, SECRET, REUNION Half a year after she left her husband bc she couldn't cope with the duties of a rich man's wife and he was always working, he comes after her and asks her to pretend everything's fine between them for a week to please his mother who hasn't much time left.

My rating: 6/10 It's cute, a short, pretty childish but sweet story. The teacher is this easygoing type of guy so he doesn't appear to be much older. They wait until graduation. (The oneshot isn't good and isn't included in the rating) SCHOOL LIFE, TEACHER The stern class president and her laid-back homeroom teacher are always fighting over how to organise certain things, but when he invites her to secretly listen to his counselling and the they get closer, unexpected feelings begin to bloom.

My rating: 8,3/10 The art is so beautiful!! I like the characters, it's interesting as they're not stereotypical for harlequin, especially the ML. He's a bit serious and odd in a good way. But I don't get why being a wife equals being employed. MARRIAGE, DOCTOR The FL was raised by her uncle and worked at his clinic as a nurse. When he dies, her cousin moves into the house, she loses her job and her fiancee call off the engagement. But when she lost everything, her uncle's former acquaintance offers her to marry him to her and to raise his reputation.

Nah ... that's really not it. Have they never heard of something like, maybe, COMMUNICATION? He basically just sexually assaults her the entire time without telling her about his feelings and she doesn't ask. Don't read it, it's not worth your time.

My rating: 7/10 They were a bit too old-fashioned for me. Like, no sex before marriage and the depiction of abortion as something horrible, that just doesn't sit right with me. But apart from that, it was cute tho corny too. CHILDREN, NANNY, RESORT When his sister and her husband go on vacation, they send their children and their nanny to the ML. He can't really deal with children at all, but he decides to bring them with him on a business trip to improve his image. But the nanny has other plans.
