Ashita, Kare no Bed de.

Complete | Umetarou | 2000 released

⟫ Ashita, Kare no Bed de >Nemurenai Koibito > Kusuriyubi ga Shitteru> Mou Kimi o Matanai > Chizuka-san Ni Tsutaete. {Dear 1st volume: I've patiently waited for yrs. YEARS! DONE!} Full of giggles & butterflies in the stomach. If stoic & possessive semes are your type you will love this. If u find seme an asshole your mistaken. Read behind the cut(+) A young salaryman is crushing over this handsome man hanging out by the Cafe's window corner everyday. Thing is, he looks and acts like a flirt so he was misunderstood all the time by his lovers and it impressed deeply within bringing him insecurity. Thus the pair had a lot of misunderstanding causing pain for both. And because of that insecurity, he was not able to see how his "sleeping beauty" actually believes in him and his worth more than he could ever think. Chizuka is way better than his other similar counterparts. For real. He says "I love you" and "I'm sorry" VERBALLY. I don't think anybody can match that, not even asami could openly apologize like him. Moreever, he ASSURES the insecure uke more often than not. Also I find it cute that he looses his cool for uke. BTW cute ending. ^_^ and you will see better things at the succeeding volumes.

⟫ Ashita, Kare no Bed de >Nemurenai Koibito > Kusuriyubi ga Shitteru> Mou Kimi o Matanai. Ch. 1-3: A direct continuation of last vol. Sleeping beauty turned out to be a ravenous beast (and possesive too lol) while our pauper prince try to change his mindset and be confident. ⟫ Related: Kanashii Kotoba. || Ch. 4-5: Takashi's bff and his regrets. Found a kindred spirit in the person of satoshi and so the connection is made. Sort of like an after story of KK. I like this more than kana (the cousin)'s love story haha. (But first... where's the part where satoshi should suffer for what he's done do kana) A story of two lonely people moving on and being happy together. #physical relationship to love. cafe shop owner x college student. Happened two years after Kanashii Kotoba. || FINALLY! The whole series is getting picked up! Moving to my reads --------ɫ ⬧ ɫ-------- {satoshi's chronology} ⟫ Kanashii Kotoba > Nemurenai Koibito > Chizuka-san Ni Tsutaete > Itoshi no Doctor Coat.

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.

Kusuriyubi ga Shitteru

Complete | Umetarou | 2000 released

⟫ Ashita, Kare no Bed de >Nemurenai Koibito > Kusuriyubi ga Shitteru> Mou Kimi o Matanai > Chizuka-san Ni Tsutaete. (edit) UPDATED Synopsis: Continuing the everyday ups and downs of the unlikely relationship of a rich and capable noble with an ordinary japanese salesman. However, their still-new relationship gets tested once more with namihira's new and mysterious co-worker who seems to be put for revenge? In this volume, I like Chizuka a lot. He verbally says I love you, he trusts and assures the uke, shows that it's never about the money, he does everything for the takashi with his blunt and stoic demeanor. I mean... What more can you ask for a cool type seme? He's leagues better than his other counterparts (K-sensei anyone?) So grateful that this series is finally being worked on, almost lost hope.

Yoru ga Aketemo

Complete | Masao Sangatsu | 2000 released

(EDIT: 2018 FINISHED, Thx!) Translations quite difficult to figure out but I love the manga. #Salaryman romance. It's cute how they work out their relationship despite being both quite awkward in love. A drunken night lead to the gay MC waking up naked in a bed with a man. He had hopes of not seeing this guy anymore since after all, he did something embarrassing while drunk, and it makes him remember the past. However, the guy turned out weird & a my-pace type they ended getting to know each other. Later on, he learned that not only the guy is straight, this is also his first time doing gay sex so *facepalm. Is it bad to say I enjoyed reading their relationship struggles? ️ minor couple: mama of gay bar x chief hirata (of the neighboring department) - i would have wanted a story focused on them too hehe. But it's nice that they are there to help the two bumbling-in-love people to work on their relationship.

Motoyan Papa to Hitsuji-sensei

Complete | MIZUKI Tama | 2016 released

So, so fluffy. And the pacing is just perfect. I like how the story shows the dad (seme) slowly falling inlove with the uke. {Edit: FINISHED@2018} #Reencountered after 10 yrs, Hitsuji didn't even realize that his student's dad is a former friend... and crush. And try as he might, it's hard not to fall inlove all over again w/ this charming man & his cute son. I love the dad's smile too. I think both father and son are adorable. Not hard to understand why the uke-MC loves them. #my only gripe is the occasional translation problem. other than that, it's perfect.

Wazato Janakute Mo Gomennasai

Complete | suyama torico | 2016 released

It's super refreshing to see such a pure (& adorably CLUMSY!) seme after a long whille. ILU. You are one of a kind. Straight seme x older, gay uke. #good pacing 2017 UPDATED SYNOPSIS: Gay office worker wanted to swear off dating straight guys yet there's this quite adorable young man from the cafe he frequent in who seem to "accidentally" fall on him every time. Is the boy interested? #actual gay uke. It really is rare to see a real one in bl. #nice decensoring job #mild romcom #more plot, sex at the end.

Mister Gravure

Complete | SAGAMI WAKA | 2017 released

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.

Asterisk (torino Shino)

Complete | torino shino | 2016 released

This is underrated bec of the "cheating" seme. If you concentrate on that, you'll miss the top-notch quality storytelling this manga had. Give it a chance. It has a certain realism to it, not the idealized, magnified KYA-KYA STEREOTYPICAL BL w/ tons of reviews. No, this manga gave life and breathed out two men's life story and their imperfections. I cannot describe it enough. #sex friends to love ~ reencounter. #sex friends #tutor x student #older seme #3 yrs age gap #young, unrequited love that mc (uke) let go only to #reencounter 12 yrs after. #art - At first glance, the art looked like the mature josei style and I appreciate this mangaka's foray to BL. Sawa is a private tutor of Nanao, a highschooler who does ballet. Popular & a player, Nanao never lacks girls. But one day, he got a taste of sensei & he just can't stop. It turned into more than that but it took them forever to realize the feelings of the other.

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!
