The Inheritance of Aroma

Complete | NAKAMURA Asumiko | 2008 released

thought-provoking sad incest story. or if i'm going to search for a word... a devastating masterpiece painted in a unique style exclusive of nakamura-sensei. if there is a perfect combination of smut and heavy story, it is this manga.

Ano Ko To Juliet

Complete | kojima lalako | 2000 released

ch.1: It's a very sweet but sad story of lovers whom their parents were enemies. Therefore, neither got acknowledged of their feelings for one another despite fighting for it to their parents. The frustration of being a powerless minor made it more sad when they tried #eloping. ch. 2-3: childhood friends who secretly love each other. Each chapter in the POV of the uke and seme respectively. They are cute. uke is kind of regretting pushing his friend to become an idol now that it seems the distance between them has grown. aw. ch. 4-5: It's byoootifulllll!!!! OMO. definitely sweet. From a tragedy rose a budding of a new love. I can't ask for more... except for more chapters where the bereaved has completely gotten over his dead ex-gf and starting to have deeper attractions to MC. MC originally intended to help the pair but turned out #ghost exGF later served as their cupid.

Rift (Conro)

Complete | Conro | 2000 released

HOLY SHIT. *tears flowing. It's a solid, intense plot tinged with a poignant, bittersweet tone. The painful death of his father shook uke to the core. Due to the trauma and fear of death, he'd gone ahead and forced #straight seme to have sex. This poor broken boy You won't realize how much you love someone until he's gone. Rips the heart. Seme desperately looked for seme when uke suddenly disappeared after his "rejection" but failed. #reencounter 2 years after. #straight seme x gay uke

The Judged

Complete | HONMA Akira | 2000 released

page 1-50: state prosecutor x politician #reencounter #dark past. uke kept on running away from him. tbh I want it longer!!!!! something as complicated as this deserves to be at least one volume, ugh. #hate/love relationship between orphan childhood friends. one was reconciled with his family and the other got left behind. ch. 51-67 : prosecutor x politician's secretary. and the investigation continues as the imprisoned secretary is being questioned by uke's superior over and over. here, the secretary's depressing life comes to light, and about how todou got adopted. then #time jump to a happy ending. -------ɫ ⬧ ɫ-------- pg 68-end: two doctors. #hate each other eversince. it started when the sleazy one, mistaking the pretty doctor as a woman made a move on him. however, seen this weird attention turned into something weirder that he can't even get it up with women or anybody in that matter anymore. #cold uke x long-haired, cheerful/tennen genki seme

Mizu no Ue no Tsuki

one of the few tsukumo Gou in mangago. *sighs. (want the hardcore ones) and it's their first official publication. TBH this one is WAAYY tamer of a gou manga but I kind of understand since it's a debut work. But. yeah, heartbreak. I am sad by the way this oneshot ended. Seme learned his lesson and he's such a brash kid when young. It shouldn't had happened but it did. One #psychotic seme tho.

Utsukushii Utsukushii Utsukushii

Complete | Takaguchi Satosumi | 2007 released

Mangaka tried for something that has a mysterious character but it ended up messy. It started good, it has quite enough depth and interesting ideologies and that kept me for a while but the lack of resolution, even if it's hinted or open-ended did not arrive so that accounted for much confusion. A shame really. Common ground is the seme's ex-gf. Two bisexual guys that experimented but eventually moved on with life and gone back on the het track (bec of cowardice most likely)

Beautiful Days

Complete | madarame hiro | 2011 released

Ch. 1-5: Kind to a fault, a hopeless and out-of-sorts guy kept on taking home and taking care of animals and even pets. It's no different how he, came to live here and grew up taking care of everyone, even the "human strays" that were later picked up and eventually enter into a relationship w/ natsume... then came this old lover along with his changing feelings to his guardian. #loser-type seme x adopted, abandoned uke. #13 yrs age gap, 9 yo when he got picked up, now a 16 yo teen. It has all the tropes i like... guardian raised up kid, cute pets but somehow i can't make myself love this manga. or maybe i dislike the seme too much? i did find him irritating. It IS a beautiful story tho. Especially the last chapter where natsume broke down in the middle of the road and professed his weird way of showing love. 3 stars. .//. ch. 6-8: "You have to be happy in the expense of those who hurt" It's just sophistry. Fucking hatefuuuulll !!!! *wipes tears angrily. The story of using and being used, all told in each of the MC's perspective. In the end, everyone victims and got hurt. It started with just the two of them. but then the girl twin has died and that death became a dividing wall that started all this circlejerk of love full of suffering. It's their karma and they need to accept it. Fucking no happy ever after. 4 stars.

Awa ni mo Narenai Koi Nara ba

Complete | MITSUKI Emi | 2017 released

Ch. 1: Reality is different from expectations. That's what the MC bitter life as a low-grade movie production staff is. His current job though ludicrous, is very stressful. He got his friend to thank for this great opportunity & the only way he could think of paying back is to indulge the man of his "hobby". It's either a "swinger club" (google it kids) or some kind of a mild S&M bar. The truth is, MC (uke) was really inlove with his friend and used seme's hobby as an excuse to sleep with him. .//. -==Town Hall 3-part series: Quirk is one mysterious guy calling himself "god" (LFMAO) & serving as a cupid for the featured couples in a certain countryside.==- Ch. 2: A supernatural love triangle with a ghost. A gay guy who has an ardent suitor just died and is now haunting him... to give some kisses lol. In a #flashback, he consulted his straight friend about it over a drink which ended with a #drunken sex. But the ghost knew MC (uke) loves his straight friend. #mutual misunderstanding got cleared in the end w/ the help of the ghost. #guilt+tragedy to happy ending. #civil engineers working for the town hall. Ch. 3-4: #cute giant younger seme. More or less 9 yrs age gap. Asahi (seme) chasing this vocational teacher around. And cheerily so, making sensei tired all the more. Even if sensei doesn't make it super obvious they were in a mutual understanding type of relationship & OFC, it did not escape "god" when he encountered them. #breakup. Poor baby seme but the misunderstanding will clear up. ch. 5: Alright! it's god's turn for a love story! Arashima, the kind busybody friend-colleague from the last episode is back and this time, it's them two that are focused here. Poor guy is trying to hide his feelings to his straight #childhood friends but how long can he hide to a clairvoyant? #10 yrs unrequited and that simple word "let's go out" is unbelievable AF. Cute! it's very cute! -----------------.//.----------------- Ch. 6: try-hard delinquent is silently crushing over his uncle for sometime now. he's really a nice boy once but then their #tutoring session escalates to pettings and eventually jacking off and he's already in the middle of developing feelings for the uncle so when he was bluntly rejected, he decided to rebel.

"I love you". Who? The uke wonders. This is a sad story of a guy whose twin brother died and the guild that he caused it is weighting down on him. Now, he took it up for himself to live the life that Mei was suppose to live... as a replacement, and even a #replacement lover for the bereaved bf. However, what is the real story in the seme's side? I am wondering. I think he loved Akane himself? Edit:Fin june 13

Spin Out (KUNIEDA Saika)

Complete | KUNIEDA Saika | 2013 released

Not for everybody. Uke enjoys being beaten & seme enjoys manhandling & I'm sure most won't be able to understand/tolerate. If you are ok with that, you're in for a beautiful yet poignant drama as told by the goddess Saika. We're greeted by a #rough sex in the first scene. Both were doing it for de-stressing so they could go back to normal, ordinary citizen for the whole week. However as they get to know each other a joke plan for murder turned into a tragic twist. COMPLICATED. .//. . Vol 2, chap 5-6: From heartbreak we suddenly got a fun and easy going pretend lovers separate (from the main story) two-shot
