ArtemisFowl's manga / #hawt(15)

A business magnate is taking a pseudo-vacation at an apartment complex, and ends up getting involved with guy who is stuck in an apartment for abusive relationship reasons. The main person he's involved with (and he's involved with him for both involuntary and voluntary reasons) is also the person who the business magnate is investigating for business reasons. Both end up sleeping together, but there are some ugly power dynamics (clear power differential) involved between them because of the lack of knowledge (both from a situation and sexual information standpoint) that the uke has. Also, I think that the seme sort of forces the uke into sex with him because the uke doesn't really know what's going on (see what was said in the previous sentence). ~Chapter 8

Two friends often perform physical acts on each other, but their relationship isn't very clear. The seme doesn't understand how he feels, he only knows that he wants to be with his best friend like this forever (and has no interest having this type of relationship with everybody and anybody else...)

Rape in chapter 11.

Broken arm, friendship that was potentially a romance, but no action was taken until now... These two meet again in college, only for the seme to have his arm broken by the uke falling flat on the concrete after tripping down the stairs. The seme asks to be in a relationship with the uke, at least until his arm heals... Update: Yes yes yes! Edit: Also, can I just say that the uke is a world-class, real-world icon? Top of his class and everything. Edit: Ugh, I'm getting more and more annoyed at the manipulation of the seme. Edit 3: Okay, I feel that seme (at the end of chapter 7), because he right. ~ Chapter 27

They had chemistry, but then chapter 5.5 appeared...and I feel grossed out at the sexual harassment. Ryouto and Kousuke (Number two and number one respectively in their college's list of good-looking men) spend a night together after the latter strains his hand on a ski trip provided by his school. Both men end up in sexy times on the massage chair within their ski resort (much to the delight and the chagrin respectively of Kousuke and Ryouto). They end up having an ambiguous relationship, where Ryouto is reading the signals correctly (for once in a yaoi, the person isn't completely oblivious to the other person's attentions). Kousuke has plans to go skiing professionally in Canada. Will skiing break these lovers apart or allow them to stay together? ~Chapter 11.1

Two former child actors reunite, one very successful and the other laden in obscurity after an accident blurred his memories and trauma caused him to retire. The former can read minds, we later learn within the manga, except for the actor whose childhood is blurred by the traumatic experience at the set. They end up sleeping together -- it's "good practice for the movie we're in" according to the first, the flimsiest of justifications, and end up in a real relationship. There are many details of the latter's past that aren't clear, including his shady relationship with a former idol/colleague/neighborhood boy turned model. Does he have something to do with the accident? And can they find out before it's too late -- this time? ~Chapter 26.1

The mysterious Shiro, a lazy, artistic man who doesn't want to wear underwear and sells his summer fans traveling by cart in the city, encounters straight-laced local policeman Kojiro, who tells him he has to put underwear on. This is the first of many encounters between Kojiro and Shiro, who form a friendship as they start to unravel the deep mysteries of the cities, some of which are strange, horrific police cases and others that seem to only revolve around Shiro. Who is this man? And can their friendship survive his past? ~Chapter 45

Gahhhh, why is this sex scene ruined by guns and blood at the beginning???? Let me just take a moment and cry a little bit *weeps in the corner without stopping* (Dear lord* do I hate tragedy) *full title: lord spaghetti monster Edit: Everyone's (the characters are) so into the melodrama over here. I'm just like. NO. When you feel that depth of feeling, it comes from a place of love and trust, not lust and chemistry. Agree to disagree, main couple. They hawt though.

Myeong and Seonho were high school classmates, not friends and not really even acquaintances. They also had an eye out for the other, Myeong much longer than Seonho. Myeon ends up going to the reunion of their high school after six years of not seeing Seonho, only to see Seonho with a ring on his finger. Myeon tries to leave, but Seonho goes outside with him for a smoke. They end up kissing, and they go back to a hotel before anyone at the party can catch them. Hot sex ensues, all the while with this secret of the ring between them. Myeong runs away from the hotel, only to go back once the ring is on his finger and he figures out what that means... Watch out for the sixth chapter. It may have a kink you're not interested in... ~Chapter 6.1
