Bokura Ga Tsugai Ni Naru Made
Carefree parents w/ lots of kids used for "comedy relief"? um. dubcon. Eccentric seme started targeting the MC. Was conveniently in the same room when he experienced heat so he force-paired the uke out of the blue. Uke is a hardworker who sought to fight against the omega status. After being paired up the courtship starts and but uke had a diff opinion w/c made it more complicated. [2017-06-20 08:17 marked]
K-sensei no Yajuu na Aijou
⟫ K-sensei no Yajuu na Aijou > K-sensei no Yaban na Renai > K-Sensei no Furachi na Junai > K-Sensei no Himitsu no Netsujou || The push-and-pull romantic struggle of a #bi #flashy #arrogant #aggressive seme is an erotica writer x #megane #cold #bookworm uke is the poor editor that got assigned to him. because of seme's aggressiveness, uke kept on clamming up and repeatedly deny his feelings. and despite how aggressive is seme to him, he never went all the way with him and teased the poor guy till he confess. ----.//.---- page 173-end: "yamada and chief tanaka" extra pages (it has it's own solo volume with the same title)
Motto Shigekiteki Na Kankei
⟫ Shigekiteki Na Kankei > Motto Shigekiteki Na Kankei. He is actually a seme but fell victim into another seme's trap and became that guy's uke. seme is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing. This is just my opinion but to be honest I don't see any justification as to why the MC is treated like this. Also, I can easily saw through an uke that is just tsundere-ing their way out and I've seen way worse treatment yet it's handled beautifully but for this one, I don't feel good about it. I like the #role reversal trope but the BDSM humiliation play applied on it felt too uncalled for. That said, I like the first part WAAY better.

〚 A group of friends and classmates that ended up dating men w/o knowing each other were like that lool〛 ch. 1-3: #handsome #salaryman tutor (seme) x boss' prickly son (uke). this is so adorable. i had a smile plastered all over my face the whole time i was reading. both seme and uke were cute and a little bit immature but it's not annoying. .//. ch. 4-5: guy who loves movies that he started to work on a movie rental shop but there's this guy who he's so bothered about. this guy is cold to him and nice to everybody so he tried to get along. he later figured out why tho. and his feelings as well. lol. .//. ch. 6-7: #bathhouse couple. teenaged son of a bathhouse owner unwillingly mans the shop and eventually started noticing this beautiful guy who is coming everyday. and he's actually a clutz. high school seme (18) x beautiful yet clumsy salaryman seme(27) #age gap of 9 yrs .//. ch. 8-10: #incest #brother x brother. #stalker-like cutely handsome seme (17) x #airhead uke (18). #angsty love of a younger brother. older bro is oblivious to it but he's bother why and when his younger bro stopped smiling. he's floored to see that he's cheerful when he's with others. confronted him about it. .//. ch. 10.1: very short but my favourite chapter!!! now all friends gather together and talk about their lovers but kept it vague at best lol. too bad. if only they knew that everyone else in the group is dating a guy, it would have been easier.
Life, Love
If I let my emotion run I'd rate this 3 stars but the rest of the chaps are engaging & kept me up my toes. It could easily be a 5-star but the WTF CRAPPY ENDING. Made me dock one star. They DO feel love for each other but the problem is the boatload of issues that kept them from being honest. (hello daddy-complex, hello stupidity.) LIKE OMFG these two awkward fools. They're totally taking their relationship in the wrong process. They kept on missing the point. Sex before courtship in the middle of figuring out your sexuality is really, totally bad. I terribly wish someone would tell them to just "date each other" or something. The misunderstandings are making my heart ache much. #bi-racial romance. A japanese man encountered an american mafia crony whose boss tried to ask for ransom from his (corrupt) politician adoptive father. Dad refused. Hell ensued. But the kidnapped and the crony that is responsible for him had a spark. Both were able to escape back to japan to escape the escalating fiasco. Seme is fascinating. Everybody takes him for a fool including himself bec of lack of knowledge about his disability but uke thinks otherwise. It's a really developed story. I love it. MY ONLY, ONLY GRIPE is that the ending failed to give it justice. #straight uke x gay seme. #age gap - uke older by 10 years
Akai Ito No Shikkou Yuuyo
Wow, I felt like it's been a while since a BL manga moved me. What a cute story. Homeboy can see the red thread of destiny since little. Sounds romantic but he learned that the very ability he possess does not necessary make a person happy. He also subconsciously believed that a romance influenced by it is fake, even. One day, he saw his red thread finally leading him to his fated one and he hoped it's his crush but it lead to a guy. WTF moment there. And not only that, it started the frequent serendipitous meetings they have, it left the poor guy frustrated to the bone he googled a way to cut the thread off. Now, he had the solution to his problems but he's actually having second thoughts about cutting their connection. And with good timing, just when they were not each other's fated pair anymore through cutting the red string, he realized he's inlove. OUCH.
Ore no Mono ni Nareba Ii
2017 Update: Lowkey assuming it's on hiatus but I'm so glad it got picked up. Rereading. Very pretty art. Character look the same so I'm starting to think the mangaka intended to make them AN ALTERNATIVE INCARNATION of the MCs? | Chapters Synopsis Ch.1, ch. 5 page 36-48: genius chocolatier that is quite forward in expressing his feelings. he's the one that first confessed to the stupid seme. .// Ch.2: A prince who is actually far from being one. he's a clutz, absent-minded and badly needed assistance. then a really pretty guy (yet had a complex about being called girly-looking) proclaimed they were rivals and bet on winning the beauty pageant. #popular x popular. #rivalry love #male pageant. .//. Ch 3: #childhood friends who always competed since small for everything: from school to their part-time job... well, it's just mostly the smaller guy tho. And he's pissed that the black-haired boy is so chill. One day he lost a best and instead of a punch he got a kiss. Bothered, he's became very conscious about it. This kid is so tsundere! LFMAO. #cool seme x #tsundere uke, #rivalry #friends to lovers. ch. 4: The premise is cutely amusing. Uke mistook a crossdressed actor as a women so he fell inlove at first sight and confessed. Interesting enough, despite that they still kept their relationship. Oneshot started with them going out for one month already and uke thought it should be enough to progress to going all the way. One thing he did not expect tho: He's the one on the receiving role instead of his beautiful actor lover. #bully seme x naive uke / actor seme x ordinary uke. ch. 5: OMG hilarious. A young and handsome man is trying out to be a seiyuu (voice actor) and the kind neighbor enjoys his voice. And because of one compliment, this young guy started acting odd, and it's kind of embarrassing especially when the MC salaryman kept rebuffing him with matter-of-fact replies it almost came out as sarcastic hahaha. ✫3.5
Honjitsu wa Ohigara mo Yoku
Ch. 1-3: A reimagined world where the fox, racoon and rabbit had their own colony of sorts... or rather, a very cute yakuza+animal ears mashup manga reminiscent of seto no hanayome. The young master of the rabbit clan was just about to raise an objection of a rabbit girl marrying in the fox clan but instead he himself got roped into a shotgun marriage. Slowly fell inlove with the son's of the fox leader. And so started his married life within the fox clan. OFC it is not complete w/o marriage blues! Aw this is so adorable. I kept on going forward to look for a continuation and there's none? OH C'MON! I need my actual mpreg! waiiiiii. @ch. 5, page 30-37: This special shortie made me happy tho, w/ the couple's adorable first born. #onsen sex, tysm. //. Ch. 4-5: Stressed-out salaryman developed #erectile dysfunction bec of stress at work so that got him addicted to sex in order to unwind. Tired of it, he found himself trying out gay sex service and met this guy whom he had great compatability in bed (despite him being initally straight). Started out as a #physical relationship (yet they live together like husband and wife) lol but later salaryman seme fell inlove and even #proposed just to show he's being serious. Uke quit being prostitute and went steady with seme. ➤☆ 3.5 stars.
Kodomo x Otona no Houteishiki
{ch. 1-2} : main pair - single father seme x nursery teacher: had a bad first meeting. fell inlove with seme's son who is a cute little angel so he got angry at this cold man who is dismissing him. they slowly warm up to each other tho. as a pretense, seme suggested for sensei to be the "mother" of their house. #rich seme - is a general manager of a company and is living a totally in a different lifestyle than our ordinary protagonist. our poor mc tries to cope as seme takes him to high class restaurant he never imagined going to. {ch. 3-5} secondary pair - timeskip chiharu x that little bully at the nursery, satoshi. sporty(Abs!), tsundere uke x pretty-but-a-little-devil-inside seme. baby angel chiharu is now in middle school but he discovered that his dad is in a relationship w/ his first love, their nursery sensei. thus started his rebellious phase. I usually like it when the child grow up and be coupled with someone as well but why did the mangaka had to make chiharu grow up into a rebellious teen? at least don't cut the part where he talked to his parent.... WTH. *sighs. I didn't enjoyed it as much as I should be. I like the story concept, I really do I dig these kind of stories but the plot and the emo teen drama is badly phased it resulted into a forced, shallow drama. --------ɫ ⬧ ɫ-------- ch. 6: cute unrelated oneshot that is just too short. popular guy who wanted more attention got a little bit jealous of this girly handicrafts guy (who hoards the girls) so he decided to join the club to be more popular. got more than that tho, it opened up some feels he thought he'd hidden long ago.
