A host who uses flirting as his livelihood and lives off women sought this so-called "sensei" who took away his walking "personal wallet & house". It's amusing how he think of all sorts criticism to the doctor but after seeing his face he did a 180 like his grudge was never there. And now, he's found a way of taking advantage of the poor, timid man but the purpose has totally changed. That last chapter. It's super adorable! extroverted host x timid dentist.

Dark Heaven

Complete | Juns | 2016 released

It's sad, depressing and portrays race and sexual orientation discrimination in a damatic and gritty way. There are plenty of moments where I say "yes" especially when connor threw that coffee a stranger gave him. Unlike a lot of BL mangas, this does not encourage gay fetishism that made it likeable for me but also hard to read because I can't help but identify and that for me is bad bec. it triggers a lot in me since I'm both asian and not straight. double damn, haha. Unfortunately, it's still ongoing but I don't like rereading stories like these even if it's good. It's too painful and personal. #break-up, #re-encounter after 6 mos to one year. #inter-racial lovers. #drugs. Seme is famous yet on paths to self-destruction but now, at least they got back together and they should fight back against this shitty world just to survive and keep their relationship as a gay couple. #bullying issues: it made a deep impression/trauma for the uke, not to mention he's gay too and his religious mother, though well-meaning is just not helping. i love mona, their former bandmate. it's been years since they disbanded but is still friends with the two MCs. she's awesome.

@2017 EDIT: UNBELIEVABLE. TBH I've given up on this. But scanlators finished it! Another cutesy/non-violent MCs are yakuza bocchama & his bodyguard/childhood friend. Ch. 1-3: Pretty cute Ishigami-kun is sort of an idol in their all-boys-school but despite his innocent looks he actually had a sharp tongue and a sharper fist so all the boys were scared of him. Oh just the luck of the poor scammer that conned him into a porno video. He never know what's going to hit him when this pretty boy strikes again. #age gap, #22 yo seme x 17 yo uke, #weak-ass, useless seme x cute, devilish (and physically strong) uke. ch. 4-5: Focuses on tomoki, the childhood friend-slash-bodyguard after he got his heart broken when the first couple got together. While nursing his broken heart, he's lately being bullied by the math teacher they nicknamed "s" for "sadist". At the course of the story he didn't realize that he's slowly getting over his crush when he kept thinking about that unexpected blushing face when he retaliated to the sensei one time. #age gap, younger seme. practically may-december affair. uke is older than seme's dad by 2 yrs. #bully seme x #older uke Ch. 6: all-couples omake, nakamori (sr.) took revenge for his boy. I love daddy yasu loool

Baka ni Koi toka Shoujiki Muri ja ne?

Complete | TAKAHIRA Rito | 2016 released

First, of all, cute art. Good old childhood friends story that started from masturbating each other and evolved into being sex friends. Usual secret love for the childhood friend with a good story length. Tan boy (uke) is sexy buuuut pretty much stupid AND I'M LOVING IT. LOL. Great friends: Their two friends are fun. They may look like they are making fun of the poor seme who had it tough w/ thick-headed the uke is, they are actually good friends and support the two.

Hatsukoi Counter Attack

Complete | Ohana | 2016 released

The flow is a bit confusing BUT HELL I LOVE DAN-CHAN. This is funny plus cute artwork! Synopsis: At first he was annoyed AF with this arrogant freshman who seemed to have everything. For some reasons kohai seems to dislike him and does not recognize him as a senior. Incensed, he competed and looked for a weakness. And found one. And it's the opposite. It seems the younger man actually like him?! Time to tease the guy. However, he learned through his sisters that his first love, Chii-chan (a girl, or so he thinks) and this guy he is annoyed with is one and the same. Now, it's his turn to have confused emotions. #seme younger by two years. #hate to love. #senpai x kohai. At the last chapter, the two had a heart to heart talk about their feelings and even if it's not blatantly announced, judging from the extra they agreed to date. @chap. 5 extra: A little time jump where the seniors (including uke) have now graduated and set for college. The pair are lovey-dovey but are still bickering as always. BTW I love dan-chan and his "revolutionary way of apologizing" ROFLMAO. I also love Hakase and his pointless but genius rambling. #squad goals! Just a peeve: The art is pretty, ofc but I'm bothered with the lack of animated faces to go with the lively convos. It's especially noticeable when the face speaking is calm and the mouth is not even opened. Sets me off, ugh. #decensored smut in the extra. > 3.5*

Kono Hoshi de Ichiban Akarui Tokoro

Complete | MIKE Nako | 2016 released

2 childhood friends built their own little world but are now changing & spreading out. Ch. 1-3: Takao is contented with his lonesome life w/ his one & only friend. But one sunny guy is going to disturb that peace. Very cute and pure. Ch. 4 -5: (TBH I pity Yuki a bit. While he thought that Takao is relying on him, it's actually him that does) Heartbroken from loosing his buddy and love interest, Takao's teacher approached him. Cute moving on story. #physical relationship to love.

Alice in Adultland

Complete | gorebyeol | 2017 released

(The cover is like a blackhole that sucked me in. Those cute big eyes!) Everything about this manga is funny-cute, from the title down to the story itself. Slice of life. #college student x shop keeper. Unfortunately, no. it's not an Alice in wonderland remake. But it drew reference to it how this naive college boy steps in a sex toy shop that is aliean for him. Unfortunately? He kind of got attracted to the shop-owner (who had the features of a rabbit) despite the other guy being a man. #king's game (betting game with an "it") 2017-09-28 02:12 marked.

Namae mo Shiranai Machiawase

Complete | Mizuhara Zakuro | 2016 released

Edit: 2018 FIN. Sexy. Ch. 1-2, 6.1: From strangers to lovers, handsome (but slutty) salaryman Asai has a policy of one night stands only yet there's this magnetism he felt for the guy he had sex w/ at the train station. So they kept meeting and meeting and him breaking his policy until he's not satisfied with other men anymore. How the low virtues/no morals guy fell inlove. (uke) .//. Ch. 3: #Art college. #instructor x student. The young man somehow feel that it's okay to open up his concerns about sexuality to this quite odd teacher. .//. Ch. 4-6: (I don't know how is this story meh to others but I like it very much. Their conversations struck a chord in me. A bit disappointed that fujoshis would prefer the 1st story since it's smut) Two classmates/dorm mates are currently not getting along. In fact, Glasses guy was even bullied. As to why, it started when he slipped up a confession to his straight friend. He kept cool tho and kept prodding the friend and they finally had a serious talk. #Straight uke x gay seme

Futari Bocchi no Shokutaku

Complete | INOUE Nawo | 2014 released

Finished@2018. Ch. 1-3, 5.5: If you want a drama-free story then this is your read. It's a very relaxing slice of life more about the melancholic uke's introspection of being alone. Two gay men w/o any direction who are just starting in life, learned to value each other. .//. Ch. 4-5: OH MY LORD. IF IT ISNT A BALL OF FLUFFFNESS THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS. Two boys who have been friends since childhood always hang out together. One day, that peace is broken when Kan-chan displayed his possesive streak. Thing is, #timid and mousy Hiro got shocked by the unexpected confession so for the first time in their life, they seem to be not getting along? And lastly, sensei, please draw a little yuri shortie for glasses girl! I love her!
