Back to School: All Grown Up

Complete | Oryu | 2000 released

This was more like an epilogue rather than a sequel. It was nice to see how everything resolved. The sex and sweet nothings were hot. Watching him sob as he drove away made me sad, and I hate that! He's a rapist, and he put him in the hospital twice. Why did they portray him so sympathetically? I hated sympathizing with him but I really felt bad for him. I was glad to see him in an alternate universe. I wish we could have gotten more of an explanation and more of a feel for their relationship to see how different they are. They still had the sharp banter, but it was just that banter it wasn't actually arguing like the original story. I wish we could have seen how that developed so we could feel more comfortable with them being together. It was weird seeing him have sex with one and then the other. I wish we could have seen more of both relationships. Just to get a feel of it. It was too short that's why I couldn't give it a five star. Also I thought it was interesting that they decided not to have chi say I love you to jh Even in the alternate universe, I love that level of petty LMAO Edit: That car ride where he sobs really made me feel sorry for him but when I think back that he actually raped him not only put him in the hospital and the fact that I'm able to sympathize with him is because the author didn't portray that and left that completely out (I think they were thinking that it was vague but it was actually absent) If they would have had that in there I would have been like so pissed that he just let him get away with everything. That car ride would not have been enough retribution for me. They just portrayed it as some psycho with a temper but you could understand why and so you felt for him, And the fact that he let him get away with so much you just thought it was okay, but is really freaking not!

Heesu in Class 2

Complete | Lily | 2017 released

I liked how it was a shounen ai but didn't overly censor things. It was incredibly funny sometimes and really raw and tempting. Lots of yearning and tension. The ending felt rushed though. It also felt like it wasn't enough for the closure. A boy is in love with his childhood friend. But another boy has a crush on him. He seduces him enough to get him away from his childhood friend and they fall in love and become husbands. Meanwhile he's great at giving love advice and someone asks for love advice to be with the class vice president. All goes well and they end up together but because one is older than the other, for various reasons they broke up. 8 years later they find each other again.
