sharkbait's manga / #Cute(265)

the second story is so darn adorable

Chapter 1-3 Idol x Idol: Hinata & Yuu are in an idol group. Hinata likes Yuu but acts cold cause he's miffed about Yuu not remembering an encounter they had in the past (petty behaviour), but at the same time, he is very protective of Yuu and would do just about anything for him. Yuu doesn't realize he likes Hinata too, he also doesn't understand why Hinata treats him the way he does. Yuu gets hit on by an actor he works with and Hinata doesn't like it. The actor gets his ego bruised when Hinata and Ryo (idol group leader) prevent him from trying anything on a drunk Yuu and (allegedly) retaliates by causing a scandal for the idol boys. The loverboys are forcibly separated for a while to wait out the rumour mill and call each other constantly in the meantime, each falling more in love with the other through their conversations (it's ridiculously cute honestly). Chapter 4-6 Rich Guy x Student: Yuki lives with his granddad in the countryside during the summer. When walking home from doing groceries he walks along a seemingly never-ending fence-wall and wonders what kind of person would live on the other side of it. When he leans up against the wall he spots a man in Yukata standing behind him, at that moment Yuki faints due to heat exhaustion. He wakes up in the house that stands inside the wall and spots the man in Yukata, Takagi-san, the owner of the house. Intrigued by this handsome older man, Yuki offers his services in the garden and spends the following weeks fixing up Takagi-san's bewildered yard (accompanied by his granddad's dog Choro, who is adorable and a very good boy). Yuki and Takagi-san start to get to know each other, and Yuki starts to fall for the man. Then one day, a man who seems to know Takagi-san, shows up, and the next day Yuki finds the house empty. He waits for Takagi-san to return everyday, for several days the house remains empty. A few days before Yuki is supposed to go back to Tokyo, Takagi-san shows up, Yuki yells his confession and Takagi-san reacts in kind by kissing him.

Uke get spotted kissing his boyfriend in the library by seme. Uke is desperate to keep his relationship a secret and so tells seme he'll do anything to keep him from telling anyone. Seme decides he won't tell anyone if uke becomes friends with him. Over time seme falls in love with uke and gets cranky and possessive every time he sees uke and his bf interact. Seme confronts Uke in the library when he spots bf being flirty with a girl and tells Uke that the love he and his bf have is basically all in his head, because clearly the bf likes the girl more than Uke. Uke is afraid because Seme hit the nail on the head and eventually decides to break up with his bf. Uke then manages to catch a cold because he was sulking in the rain (never a good idea) and Seme decides to check on him and takes care of Uke. Seme's crush starts growing bigger and Uke starts to seriously crush on Seme as well. Eventually they end up confessing and going out, becoming a terribly cute couple in the process.

Uke didn't realize that he was dating his new 'friend', whilst Seme was trying to be a considerate bf, as he didn't realize Uke didn't realize they were dating (Uke also didn't realize he was in love, but what else is new). A continuing theme throughout is the Seme getting swept of his feet by Uke's cuteness repeatedly and having a hard time controlling himself (poor guy, his bf is just to blimming adorable).

1. Chapter 5 One shot is seriously fucked up, shouldn't have read that, it's going to haunt my nightmares. 2. The main story was sort of cute? Like the ending is sweet but the premise is a bit odd. Seme falls in love with Uke's scent when Uke helps an unwell Seme get of an overcrowded train during summer. Seme switches schools to search for his crush, initially mistakes Uke's best friend for him, but figures it out eventually. Though apparently Seme is not the only one who likes Uke's scent as some pervert decides to take matters into his own hands and drug Uke to get him to sleep with him. Of course, Seme and his super sniffing power find Uke in time and they end up going out. Seme is a pervert with a scent kink but he does have a moral code, unlike the creep who does not.

Two stories about best friends who like each other. In the first story two country-side boys (judging by the written accent) decide to watch a porn dvd together. Things escalate when they end up bringing each other to climax (ie handjobs). This habit continues till a classmate invites himself over as a third party, Seme gets jealous and he ends up confessing to Uke. Uke confesses in return and they live happily ever after. In the second story we again find two best friends, Nao of them has been in love with the other for a while Haruna hasn't quite figured out he likes his friend. Nao tries to do the shoujo manga best friend thing and setting Haruna up with the girl that likes him. It takes Nao bluffing a confession in her stead for Haruna to finally get with his feelings and realize that what he feels for Nao isn't plain old friendship.
