My Little Vampire

Complete | Masaki Maki | 2000 released

OHH sexy. The chibi vampire is starting to grow up. I MISS HIS BABY FORM THO! This is a world where humans and vampire has found something to co-exist: Artificial blood. Still, you can't really helped that people would be scared of vampires bec. of their dangerous nature. Meanwhile, a man (uke) who is tired of loneliness (death of lover) decided to adopt a vampire child. OFC, he had needs so he calls in for sex service every night. What he didn't know is that the kid sees it and because the kid drinks his blood, he is growing up too fast. Will MC (uke) be able to see this vampire as a grown man when he was just an adorable little child yesterday? #pacing is okay but it's kind of... weird?

Yebisu Celebrities - Kuge x Masunaga Ver.

Complete | IWAMOTO Kaoru,FUWA Shinri | 2000 released

⟫ Yebisu Celebrities (main) > Yebisu Celebrities - Kuge x Masunaga Ver. kuge x masunaga focused. Fin.@2017: I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS LIKE FOREVER!! UPDATED SYNOPSIS: We go back at the start of the main Yebisu plot where Haruka is the new probie. Kuge (seme) was just... being his blunt, sleazy self but when it comes to work, he's a professional. Masunaga (MC - uke) never got along with guys like Kuge. The latter's personality is just irritating not to mention his intense dislike for being touched and this guy completely disregards personal space. However, one day after days of tiresome overnight, they slept together. And slowly, along the course of the story, Kuge slowly melted this ice queen's heart. What I like is the seme's growth. He's some frank playboy but he became a devoted guy when he fell inlove with the uke. They're cute. The feeling of them very much inlove w/ each other is transmitted to me. I want to add that the hate to love may look sudden but those happened in between MONTHS so it's not really sudden at all. (I'm kind of used to this mangaka's pacing and that's she had this thing of skipping timelines w/o announcement and you need to read between the lines.) #sempai x kohai at work, #younger seme, uke older by one year. @chap 5: *squee at yebility chibi animal forest edition. Also includes a oneshot light novel of the pair. Finally, scanlators have finished the whole volume. With this finally finished, all the Yebility pairs are now complete. *satisfied smile.* Maybe this pair is actually popular to actually have a light novel and a whole manga volume on their own? wow.

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*

Hatsujou Eyes

Complete | tarira bee | 2010 released

Ch. 1-3: A sweet, a relaxing slice of life with two teenagers. I appreciate it's simplicity that made it so much effective. No twist, no unnecessary drama, no rape. Just pure love w/ bed scenes. - There was nothing common between them. age, personality and especially circle of friends. But one day, MC noticed the stares of this scary-looking guy and later on, he even started wondering about the other man. Inevitably, he got confessed to and they became lovers. Theirs have became a sweet love that even got to college and promises of staying together till they are grey. Aww. What a good old sweet romance story. .//. Ch. 4-6.5: ROFLMAO. I need to pull back and digest what happened after reading that last panel. Literally blew up my mind! This brothers duo that has a big-time brother complex (that teeters to incest) had me dying. The little brother, even though 10 years younger is quite devious at six years old. The older brother adores him so much and they even promised to "get married in the future". Now, it's quite normal for little kids to be like not and should be not taken seriously but this sly little kid made the older brother promise things and do stuffs that not a normal kid will do. He gives off the feeling that he's just using his innocent front to stake claim of his elder brother when he comes of age. And the parents are blissfully ignorant. Somehow, it kind of made me pity them, HAHAHA. #shota..//. ch. 7: This one is cute too. two bad boys/delinquents's story. MC (seme) is called bodditsava buddha with how he manages to endure and even forgive his friend who kept on snatching his girlfriends right under his nose. Fed off it, he tried to pry the real reason why the friend kept doing that. Somehow, it turned into a confession and they became lovers. As if exorcised, uke suddenly turned to a nice kid that almost nobody recognized him. And so bodhisattva legend continues on. .//. ch. 8: wana wana kiss couple valentines special. so cute. two popular playboys fell inlove. (no, there's no cheating. it's all cute and nice) read their story. http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/wana_wana_kiss/ First time I opened this manga I immediately noticed the art. This one could be perceived as quite an old art already? oh my. Another manga where I feel old. Still, I am very grateful that a scanlation group bothered to pick this old one at all.

Hatsukoi no Tonari

Complete | UNO Yukiaki | 2016 released

Synopsis: Ugh my face. I can't stop smiling. It's SO cute(and healthy!). Teacher became neighbors with a college guy whom he found out to be a former student (that he can't remember) but as the days passed, he slowly noticed the boy's feelings as he get comfortable with their newlywed-like life. *I always find it interesting when an unrequited love is taken from the perspective of the person who is the subject of the unrequited love. I get to see what they are thinking and how they fell inlove with the guy attracted to them. Bonus points for seme's POV too. #age gap - 10 years

This is adorable. Definitely one of the cutest childhood friend to lovers around. A BIT RAPEY THO LOL. Naughty little uke copping a feel and more. Sensitive people should be aware and try not to stir trouble. Just a oneshot tho. Still, I enjoyed it along w/ the dash of humor sprinkled in. @2017 Edit: Now concluded with a two-shot. #sleep sex

Atatamete Kureru Hito.

Complete | Yasuei | 2013 released

Fuzzy feelings. That's what I has all throughout reading this manga. Great pace, no angst no twist... The perfect slice of life that refreshes your soul. Synopsis:#POV of both seme and uke, #seme in love first, chef x hairstylist. A divorcee became friends with a chef-to-be and without realizing, they started to fill up each other's loneliness. The transition of stranger to lovers of two males (and one is definitely straight at first) are believable. I also appreciate the heatr-clenching moments without any excessive drama.
