WE ARE NOT GAY!
Mimori's Naughty Mouth
Hoshii Toki Dake, Suki na Dake
Oof the btm is pretty as hell!!!!!!!! Tbh I’ve finished and the top kinda deserves better?? I’m being nitpicky this is overall rly good but I just think the bottom is weak willed and is surprised when the top sets boundaries like bruh ur distancing urself so…? But anyway interesting to see closer representation to an actual gay man (sexually experienced, prepares ahead of time to btm, etc) but it’s also perhaps heteronormative emotionally and the btm is female protag coded. Anyway again I’m nitpicking this is overall cute, heartwarming, and v sexy, def my kinda btm ;)
Housekeepers Love Affair
Don’t care abt the evil 2nd top for the 3some but mains are p cute. 2nd top should get w main top’s redhead bro, like get rid of him lol. Idk not generally big on 3somes anyway unless each person rly wants to fuck each other, not tops who hate each other but both want the btm. Decent art, worth reading
Punch Drunk Love
I CANNOT BELIEVE THE EMOTIONAL HEALTH HERE. Starts w asshole top and stupid btm a lil bit, but top starts to heal as btm calls him out on his childhood wounds and self-hating habits. Btm is such a compelling character, he’s super horny and has terrible fashion sense but is so well-spoken and self-possessed. The initial compounded misunderstandings were v entertaining instead of tedious, and it does take a while for both to express their real desires but it’s worth it. I actually cannot believe this. On top of the groundbreaking emotional healing and character arcs, it’s hot. Nice art, the btm is super horny and likes it both gentle and rough from session to session (ME TOO BITCH!), the top grows a lot and has many idiot moments, and earnestly starts respecting and falling for the btm. UNBELIEVABLE. VISIONARY. I can’t believe the quality of this bl, I’m so entertained and impressed. This is actually the best bl I may have ever read all factors included, the only other one of a similar energy and caliber being BL Hotel.
Guiding Hazard
Season 1 surprisingly deep n well written, complex characters n good worldbiilding. Sexy art. Weird dog creature that has sex and an aphrodisiac tongue and can drink alcohol, it’s funny sometimes but usually fuckin weird, but whatever. Another flaw is the top being so considerate and focused on consent but at a few crucial moments he’s like yeah I’m just gonna do what I want
Run Away, Assistant Manager Ha!
Love So Pure
Amazingly weird and crazy bitch Sohae goes to therapy and around then is when I dropped. I just don’t care enough abt anyone? I’d been skipping for sex scenes probs since 50s or so. Second couple is hotter than the first (size difference, more interesting characters). The whole story is too long and goes into unnecessary detail, plus new characters are introduced late and I’m like whatever. However I rly appreciate the creativity here and the effort at emotional healing, super unusual!!!
