rainydays's manga / #Smut(72)

shouta helps a foreigner, teppei is crushing on his coworker, and azuma gets jealous. i feel like one of the few people who didnt actually enjoy this. 1st story was incomprehensibly bad-- basically just an innocent man being raped in his home by the man he helped, then being taken to a completely foreign country where he knows nobody, and ofc the mfs name is josh. he fell in love with shouta in one day? eyeroll. 2nd story was cute though im not sure of the age diff (teppei in hs?)

honda, a gym trainer, cultivates an unrequited love for their new member, konno, who also has an unrequited love of his own. honestly, i found this one really cute and well-paced!! loved honda, he is an ultimate green flag and i think the misunderstanding plotline worked well here.

noah returns to his former workplace to return a priceless item he stole, only to be confronted by the kid he once taught, a now-grown henry. art is really nice and i like the atmosphere created by it. story was pretty interesting too, albeit a bit anticlimactic at the very end. that all being said, the teacher-student dynamic and the fact that noah still sees henry as a kid got me feeling quite icky, esp when noah's 'first love' was child henry.

deciding he doesnt want to live the rest of his life in fear oof death, gang member hyungwon runs away to hawaii and meets friendly sungjin, who turns out to be a cop. its a short read and wish there was more of it considering the cool premise, but i liked this! sungjin had a cute enthusiastic personality and contrasted well with hyungwon. the ending was pretty funny, yay to supportive gang leaders lmao.

couple yuka and kaoru have sex for the first time it cute thats all i gotta say, finally a yuri pwp where they both look like adults

dowon finds out his new neighbor is a camboy. dojin reconnects with his first love taeju. i just finished reading 108 chapters within 2 days, so my opinion might be skewed. story wise i really liked this, the characters were dynamic and it was a good balance between serious and funny. liked both couples. it wasn't however, a good balance between smut and plot-- the first story couldve easily been cut down by half w/out the smut that constantly delayed plot development.

kotarou pretends to be the boyfriend for his childhood friend in order to shoo off a persistent aoi, but ends up catching feelings for the latter. i really like yoriko's works so i was pretty excited for this, considering its one of her most popular works, but i think that in the end, this is just average. aoi was getting on my nerves for half of the book, though i did think he was cute in the end and overall the manga was light and and predictable read.

kazuki and seiji are childhood friends turned lovers, after seiji intercepts kazukis attempt to lose his virginity via a brothel love this dynamic so much, idiot x idiot mangas are always so entertaining. idk why it never occured to these two that they could take turns topping, but alls well that ends well, ig. loved kazukis character design (i love spiky tsunderes) and overall this was a pretty fun read.

after moving to tokyo to live his truth, mitsuru has a one night stand with haruka, who he then subsequently falls for. karasuma and takashima run a cooking show together. the ass on that man... lawddd (lmao). this was a cutesy, low stakes read, the plot is nothing new but did well for the run time. finally an mc that quickly gathers the courage to confess! second story was also pretty cute, wish they got their own manga though.
