He then decided to help the poor guy bec of his impure motivation but it seems that his seductions all bounces off of Mr. naive. Well, that was the initial plan but he's slowly falling forreals. .//. Ch. 2: LOOOL that was amusing. So big loser guy don't know what to do with his life and here comes a beautiful man that dragged him down to a host bar. beautiful man definitely believe that he's born to be a host and his instincts were not wrong but seme kept denying it. I don't see it as well until he got drunk, that is. .//. Ch. 3: It's rapey but the concept is interesting. hmm... love at the clothe's shop changing room, something like that SMH. one #mysterious man who kept coming to their almost bankrupt clothes store. manager fell inlove but at the back of his mind he thinks the guy is just doing it for games. Until the actual company merger happened and he's in for a big reveal. .//. ch. 4: #hotel romance. #bell boy x #rich writer. cutest among the bunch. The very energetic but at bit clumsy bellboy got praised for the first time by a customer. Customer is a best seller writer but a lonely guy who confessed has never fallen crazily inlove before. Well, that was before he started spending his days with this energetic boy. .//. Ch. 5: Cute oneshot, I like this one too. Mr Perfect has it. All. Looks, brain, disposition. But he has a dilemma. It seems that this plain, ordinary guy with ordinary grades never took notice of his greatness? And what's worse, he's completely unaffected by his "Killer Smile". Pride hurt, he volunteered to be a tutor in order to crack this weird guy. But it looks like he's the one that's falling...
Tonaride Hanasaku Oto ga Shita
〚 Story of a group of delinquents and their silly love lives. I kept on going "awww" on every chapter, haha. they are all so cute. 〛 Ch. 1 & 4: #delinquent x delinquent. kouta and nao's story: As a punk in a little sleepy and peaceful town, there really isn't that much ado about nothing. until one day he suddenly got confessed to by nao, a childhood friend with bloodied face in the middle of a fight lol. that made him start thinking about them and himself. #strong delinquent couple. hot-headed violent uke (with a cute side) x chill seme. / ch. 2 & 5: headband guy kotetsu's story . he's riding kouta's motorbike to school like normal but they almost ran over some depressive glasses guy. and not only that, glasses guy got stepped on too. but he didn't want to associate with the scary delinquent group so he ran away. kotetsu chased him to apologize and they became friends. funny thing is, kotetsu never realized he's already attracted to suzuki and it's so cute. And didn't even realized that what he said is practically an indirect confession lol. And that made it easier for suzuki to let go of his unrequited crush and finally confessed to him... and met with a punch in face. #run of the mill, depressive glasses seme x #delinquent uke that is a little bit tsundere. ch. 3 & 6: the unbeatable, tall kohai saw this third year at the rooftoop who is like a cat. first time he got beaten, lost his virginity and fell inlove in one swoop lol. poor guy. and now sempai is saying goodbye so he could keep his unbeatable record. he won't hear any of it tho and make the sempai confess his answer. uke is a former playboy but is now head over heel with this virgin guy younger than him. he's graduated from school and is now working part-time as a flower shop clerk. #aloof delinquent a little bit awkward in expressing but is straightforward (seme) x easy-going sempai that is actually really strong (uke) ➤☆ 3.5 stars
Tonari Ni Kimi No Nukumori Wo
ch. 1-2: interesting and amusing. gullible guy who is probably just too lonely believed that this boy who suddenly pop in his window is his dead dog who became human. blew his cover sometime when they've gone out. turns out he's a stalker lolol. now they are sorta together and stalker boy wishes to be a dog all the more. ch. 3: co-workers at a shop, #opposites attract. ch. 4: my favourite. #homecoming after #10 years and his childhood crush turned out to be a guy. can't believe it but his instincts do tell him... even if somehow his crush turned out to be a GUY older and taller than him even. ch. 5: another cute one here about college friends living together. mutually fallen inlove with each other. seme feeling insecure bec. uke is being nice and generous to everyone tried to push uke away by suggesting to live together once more with his ex. make-up later with a confession. cute end. ch. 6: pastry chef fell in-love with a beautiful customer. latter claims he's not beautiful at all. fears that chef will become disillusioned if he knew what he does. ch. 7: cute story of a lovey-dovey college couple. quite effeminate and needy uke wants more TLC.. and for the seme to take of his clothes pls. but seme is a little bit of a bully and unlike semes fr. other mangas, he actually had a cute reason: to avoid claw marks made by his kitty-cat
Sneaky Red
I think I could best describe them as... unique. This pair totally messed up the order of their relationship but at least they tried to restart things properly after a month of staying away from each other. Seme is a delinquent who, initially just started to beat some college guy (uke) just for kicks and it eventually turned sexual when he noticed that college guy is an "M" who gets hard when being hurt. However, both slowly wondered and wanted to know more about each other (but they didn't know what to do w/ those feelings bec. of the mess between them) so seme, in his own grumpy way took initiative of righting it by not laying his hands on the older guy yet still dropping by the latter's house. Baffles the uke tho, but it's not like he hated it.
Kirei na Onii-san ni Horeraremashita.
I'm into ukes who takes initiative. But everytime, they get bashed for being "slut" when it's common the other way (seme rapist? Hello? yet people love those SMH.) Ch. 1-2: warning: reverse rape. Not as bad as the posters make it out to be. It's kind or cute using the receipts as a subtle pick-up message for the straight seme. The beautiful salaryman is not as innocent as he makes himself out to be and the poor college boy found out a little too late after he got devoured (despite being seme haha). Ch. 3-4:: otaku x otaku. They've been friends till now but one day there's this eroge (porn game) who came out of nowhere that changed the way it is between them, especially after they masturbated each other. Plot twist: fujoshi elder sister is the Cupid! LOL. [2017-11-17 20:33 marked]
Atatamete Kureru Hito.
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.
Backdoor Business
For some reason I can't get into it. A mysterious shop w/ unique services are a familiar concept in BL & there's a lot of great ones w/ similar format (sex therapist & minori no te among others) that I REALLY like but IDK? But don't get me wrong, IT'S NOT BAD. I read it till the end. Synopsis: An repatriate who came back to Japan for good ran an izakaya (traditional japanese restaurant) that is a little bit... unique. First, the owner is a quirky guy who acts and thinks like a weaboo despite being japanese & second, he is using it as a front to do some detective work with his mysterious, all-capable employees. And did I mention that he's gay? So yeah, in a nutshell this manga is about him helping those unfortunate gay men who stumble to his restaurant building. #reencounter romance started to develop around half of the story. Love interest is the okama that works on a gay bar that the group knew through their first job. Surprise, they actually knew each other since high school and the "amazing" owner cannot seem to recall that he actually confessed lol. Cute happy ending for the two!
Seven
The only thing i wanted for a perfect ending is for the brothers to meet. Is that too much to ask? T___T From my discontentment, I searched high and low and never found any oneshot or even a bonus page for this. Even if for a short moment, at least. It left me with a bittersweet taste in my mouth as it ends. *deep sigh. Pretty nice manga tho.
Hananusubito(Kaneda Shoutarou)
An adult's #physical-relationship-to-love story, tinged with bittersweetness. MC florist met this mysterious rich guy bec. of his garden but he somehow heard that guy (seme) is a murderer? despite that he felt himself slowly falling. Later he found out that what made the seme notice him is that "they" look alike, yet, seme found out that they are very much different from each other. basically, seme is ragged down by the guilt he felt for years and his heart froze up, thinking he doesn't deserve to be loved. And no, uke is not a replacement. Try re-reading if you fail to understand. He's more focused on the guilt, he was never hung up on their similarities, rather it ends with just having similar faces. It's a nice story of letting go of a tragic past and the guilt that comes with it behind and coming forward with a new love.
