Koi Saku Potager

Complete | mita homuro | 2000 released

UPDATE Dec 2017: FINISHED accd. to scanlators. | Cute! Reminds me of Dekiru Otoko. It's a fluffy and cute courtship of a farmer (uke) and a cook (seme) that is allergic to cats. Whole story is how their relationship develop as they accomplish everyday works and mishaps. Meanwhile, seme try to make their sex life progress despite being cat-cockblocked. BTW, Miki, is so fucking amazing! Such talented man. His naggy and thorny self is funny! I can totally relate to the pleasure of seeing someone enjoy your food. The farmer is so adorable and cute and the face he makes when he eats the meals the restaurant owner prepares is just bliss. The little recipes from the meal of the day/chapter is a nice touch. I've always wished for one whenever I read a cooking manga.

Looks like it's getting picked up. Rewatching again I like how it's about the hustle and bustle of the in-behind scenes of showbiz. A guy who never tries hard for life got hired as an assistant director when in reality, is job is closer to a gopher than a film director. Fell inlove with this odd director despite strictness. Director looks young and pretty but he's way older.

Complete | J. L. Langley,MAMAHARA Ellie | 2016 released

what made me interested is the artist... i like mamahara elie's bishounens so i'll be staying around till this finishes #werewolves, alpha x alpha. lovely pairing they are meant to be despite people against it, and uke's complicated background. I love the uke, he's so cool. This is about multi-racial love, family acceptance and growth. . . .#spoiler: (further down the story in the novel they will become seke)

Haru ga kita

Complete | Mochino Kome | 2017 released

Sensitive topic ALERT! #pederasty, #pimping. That shitty father. But I appreciate how uncle literally saved the boy and gave him a safe home that he needed. PROPS. Oh, this story is painful for the heart. but it pains me so good. both had a horrible life but it's beautiful how they found warmth from each other in this cold, cold world. #decensored. @ Mar 2018: FIN.

Imitation Happy Life

Complete | YOSHIDA Yuuko | 2016 released

EDIT: FIN@mar2018. I made a summary at (+). I need rereads for this LOL. It started w/ them as somewhat-lovers-but-not because Sensei doesn't want a commitment. There were 2 flashbacks. 1st when seme graduated & they became co-teachers. 2nd Back at high school. Sensei was an asst. teacher then. CHRONOLOGICAL SUMMARY: Uno is working as an assistant teacher at a certain highschool. There is this one kid that is very friendly to him more than others, Someya. One day, Someya cheerfully asked if he could live with him. Sensing the highschooler's voiceless call for help, he agreed. Living together, they got close, fell inlove and slept together. The first lie is his bad home where he doesn't want to go back to. Second is blindfold (I'm thinking he has some marked received from women while he does compensated dating). But one day, when the "parent" visited their school, uke figured out that Seme is lying. Since he can't trust Someya anymore, he broke up with the boy. (I believe the "guardian" is one of the women.) At chap. 3, first page, he did said that he really hated whoring himself out and just wanting to forget just about everything. One year later, They met again as co-teachers in a cram school but somehow, what Someya remembers from the breakup is different from his? He did not paid much attention to it but focused on how Someya wanted to get back together with him. OFC he did not agree so they got into this more-than-friends-less-than-lovers arrangement. It's understandable because till now, Uno think that Someya is a liar so he said no despite him still having feelings for the younger man. But then next lie happened again: He saw Someya walking towards the hotel with a woman. So they had a fight again. But this time, as Uno looked back, it feels weird. Someya actually might have amnesia? he kept mum about their fight but really didn't want to get hurt anymore so another year later, (chap 1) the relationship between them is the same. Meanwhile, Uno (uke) started thinking that Someya might have forgotten all the bad things while retained the good ones. Finally, Uno asked to go to Someya's house and all he see is an unkempt house and no mother came back despite how long they waited. He decided to just live together and keep Someya close so even if what's between them might be fake, or if he's going to get forgotten too, as long as the younger man is happy then it should be okay. But then again, keeping the secret that Someya's parents is wearing him down so one day he just told the latter. At last the truth came out. Someya confessed that he did remember everything, including his parent's death, and his compensated dating. All he wanted is Sensei's love as it had became his oasis of support so the boy foolishy kept at it for as long as he could. But now the cat's out of the bag, he has no face to show sensei so he intend to disappear. Because confessing the truth would just drive it home that he just whored himself out to women. Thankfully, Uno-sensei had a good sense to look for the younger guy and they finally had a good talk. How they were both at fault. As Sensei carried the injured Someya to the hospital, he expressed how it's better if they work it out together, and lean on him too. Good words,uke. #bittersweet but I'm glad for the happy ending. I like it 3.5

Shitasaki ni Yoake no Aji

Complete | Aki Ueda | 2000 released

#ramen manga + manly couple. What's there not to love? Ramen master Yoruji has reached his plateau and is quite stressed about it. He suddenly remembered the ramen enthusiast he met 5 years ago and coincidetally met the man. He didn't waste any time to take ahold of this guys tongue (LITERALLY!) to assist him in improving his shop. btw, i love the #sexual tension. they were not enemies but... but... the mangaka was able to put sexual tension between them somehow? it's sexy. 2018-02-17 20:44 marked

Shinkonsan!

Complete | Chishanomi | 2017 released

Amusing pair of childhood friends, now lovers and... husbands? We get to see the wedding picture at the first scene and it's interesting to see an already established lover's story since it's not that common in BL. Well see what's in store for these two and their married life plus some little background story. While bickering their way to bed mostly. [marked 2017-12-18 13:11] Forgot to move to 'Already read'

Tatoeba Konna Koi no Hanashi

Complete | HAMADA Kamome | 2000 released

Edit: Dec. 2017 Finished. // The fact that it's True-to-Life got me interested. A BL mangaka finally is able to make a manga w/ a real life gay guy and... readers got bored.LMAO, wtf. #straight seme x gay uke. At first they got acquainted because of the Akira(uke)'s food blog but seme, despite being straight fell inlove. #courtship along the way and I love how they got closer and how eventually, the uke fell for seme for real. At first, uke finally gave in to go out because he yearned to be loved but seme's kindness and patient straightforwardness made him fell in. Unfortunately, Japan is not a flexible society and the issue of marriage came up for the straight seme who is about to come in terms about the reality of having relations with another man. Took him a year to convince his traditionalist family. Meanwhile, uke considered all of this a breaking-up and is actually waiting for a slow fade but deep inside him, he's holding on to his feelings. Finally, Masaru came back.

Joou to Shitateya

Complete | Scarlet Beriko | 2013 released

Wow has it really been only a year waiting for this to be finished? It felt forever. Anyways, the seme is so cutely amusing. One moment he is high and mighty, the next he is cutely blushing. Or being both. Scarlet beriko is really amazing with creating unique seme and uke types and I'm also in love with this one. That beautiful, queen-like SEME, lmao. That was unexpected. #oyaji-uke. #37yo uke x early 20s seme. PS. No matter what, I like Oumi's elder sister. The moment her beauty step in the shop, I fell inlove. And I can relate to her older sister ways of nagging so I can understand what she's trying to say so I can't really get angry with her. > RELATED: Yondaime Ooyamoto > Jealousy. @momoe-san. This manga is set at a later date where she is now a CEO of an Interior Design Company.
