takame's manga / #manly uke(38)

Edit: Happy ending finish (but i wish Kajiro got more punishment...) Yakuza boss (uke) said: "You're kidding right? I didn't bought you 5mil for just one night". Straight guy Ogiwara (seme) is the usual poor, university student that works as a bartender to make ends meet. Until one day, he got accosted for a debt he didn't have. Turns out he got betrayed by his "friend". He got saved by one of the customers of the bar who turned out to be a Yakuza kumicho. Now, he'll be a sex toy for a lewd gay yakuza in exchange for paying his debt... as he try to figure out of why he feels good doing it with this man despite being straight.

It's got all the trope I like. Salaryman, friends to lovers & the struggle of who to top.That said, I WISH THIS HAD A PREQUEL! It's cute but I sincerely wish the mangaka covered the process of how they got together. Tho for once, I don't have to get frustrated by unnecessary drama. Best friends for 20 years are now lovers. Whole volume had mentions how they became lovers and right now, they are trying to adjust to the whole lovers things like living together, parents approval and who should top #middle age pair. them handsome guys don't look like in their 40's tho! #the cover-up former ex-gf: well, they were taking advantage of the rumor that seme is still dating her but the girl is aware that they were dating, is now even cozy w/ her ex-bf's lover lol. the pair do have the intention to came out of the closet later tho, but it's a process.

Florist x huge high school boy who had financial constraints. #age gap 10 years, older uke. Optimistic Sho-kun tasted the bitter reality when his parent lost his job. While looking for a job, he met this gay florist and slowly stumbled in love. Seme is adorably innocent, I like his optimism, it's cute. I had like a permanent smile while reading this manga. The time pacing is a bit messy but mangaka put importance on developing their relationship and as chapters goes on, it only gets sweeter. #after onsen sex at the last ep.

Ohh, it's getting hot in here, LOOK AT THAT SEXUAL TENSION! #manga editor x photographer. Manga editor was straight and did not knew that the other one is gay not to mention having a secret unrequited love for him! Before that, he can't explain why he can't take his eyes off the other man.

2018 update: FIN. Somehow when it comes to incest, I'm always looking for the difficulty of drawing lines from each other, smth like that. These two kind of accepted it easily tho it's not that bad, I'm a drama-loving idiot who thirsts for conflict, so sue me. And the questionable friend... came out of nowhere. *shrugs. ️ Ch. 1-3: #stepbrothers incest. Nii-chan has finally came back home after a couple of year but he seems changed (for worse) somehow. After the difficulty, they got together but the gay classmate threatens to expose them. .//. Ch. 4-5: childhood friends unrequited love. TBH I would have liked this better since it has manly couple after all but I am quite dissatisfied with how the pair resolved that decade-long unrequited love. I do however appreciate ntheir manly, manly love. The seme is quite straightforward and uke doesn't take bullshit so I still think they are a good pair #10 years unrequited love.

Summer heat changed its meaning upon meeting a man with cool hands who took the time to spend time with him. Metaphors with the ramune drink made this all the more sweeter w/ bubbles and fizzles. I'm really falling for this mangaka more & more everytime I read her manga. It just had that heart-tugging, sweet atmosphere consistently in all her mangas, including this one. I'M IN LOVE!

Okay lemme say this:DRAGGING DOWN A STORY BEC OF YOUR SHIP IS UNFAIR TO THIS MANGA. The story has complex characters and an elaborate story. Hosaka can be any of us. Hard time saying no, tired, lonely and overthinking about decisions in life. So pls don't hate on him much. If you only want to read a matured love triangle it's actually a good read. This mangaka is great at tugging heartstrings. More than the love triangle, it's about group of long time friend where the peace suddenly got disturbed when two of them became sex friends. It's also about the complexity of love... what it really is and how different it is from plain physical pleasure. I myself kind of lean toward CHIKA lol, but I'm not childish enough to rate this low just because my OTP did not happen.

Ch 1-3:( WOW. Look at how high my brows went up. Sunshine is actually a #sadistic seme.) People-pleasing MC despite is envious of a loner classmate his popularity. Biggest mistake: witness to Oohashi's real personality. Now, he's #blackmailed down to submission ️rapey love thing. #bully seme and... isn't the uke masochistic as well for keeping at it? Ch 4-5: still #dubcon but WAY BETTER THAN FIRST STORY. Ordinary-looking guy who is never popular got a chocolate. Finally! Unfortunately, despite the initial girly name, turns out it's from a guy. And a cute-looking one. His hyper awareness of the guy slowly turned to attraction so he can't do a thing when timid ayumu suddenly did #reverse appearance/unexpected seme Edit: mar '18 FIN
