Hana Rai
A manga with Fireworks concept. Hmmmmm interestiing. The narrations are poetic. At times like these i wish i could totally read nihongo. The artwork is pretty too. HOWEVER, it got crippled by the romance part. It's very much lacking. I wish they just focused on the fireworks creation with little BL because the love story seemed so rushed. DOcking one star for the rating because of the romance.
Thirty Years Old
#chinese webtoon. Salaryman - check. 30-something yrs old like me - check. (possible) younger seme - check. I wonder why I am only reading this webtoon now? It's so... IDK the story gives a peaceful and relaxing vibe? so nice. Maybe it's the art style. I like it!
Ashita wa Docchi Da!
tbh i refrain from subscribing to ongoing (and sometimes on hiatus) manga and this one has been going on for years already. Tho it's been receiving monthly updates lately so... *sighs. FIne, I give up waiting for the end. WIll subscribe now. Aw lol. This tsundere seme. His push and pull game is strong. Despite me getting frustrated over him at times, I commend him at the same time for it lol.
Noru ka Soru ka
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.
Ooya-san to Himo
hmm. lol the tags are interesting . a bunch of stories w/ younger semes. most ukes are 30-40 yo. Ch. 1: I'm a shallow idiot so forgive me for laughing when MC said "My hole only has one direction" HAHAHA. I like this oneshot, why is it only one chapter! An amusing rivals to lovers story. They are both popular and had everything going good with them, especially Koshida (seme). Sannomiya has always been annoyed with him bec he's perfect in everything... except being a virgin! Due to amusement,Sannomiya agreed to take his first time and that's where Koshida realized he liked the latter..//. Ch. 2-3: #seme POV #age gap. younger seme 10 years younger. 10 yrs ago he stumbled on a "haunted house" & get to know this sloven researcher. He later got attracted to the guy but older guy does not want to do it (he's not a pedo) so they made a promise to do it after 10 yrs if he is still interested. And now, it's about to happen..//. ch. 4-6: #apartment romance. landlord x tenant. It's strangely touching, especially on the part where they drew some reference on a fairytale book. Two lonely people getting together. This is the start of their love story and I wish there was more chapter. Story only covered the two slowly falling for each other.
Kekkon Suru Kamoshirenai Otoko
I see kekkon (marriage) i click LMAO. I'm so weak when it comes to tropes I love. #slowburn romance #relaxing fluff of two people who were looking for someone that they could spend their lives with. so far it's all too fluffy. they started dating and i hope their love would grow
Chotto Matte yo Hanaya-san
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.
Kawaii Obaka-kun
Ch. 1-4, 6.5: rich seme x loser uke. LMAO uke, duuude! you're a fucking idiot. but you are a cute idiot. You won't believe someone could get easily exploited over and over again but that's what Taichii's life is. Desperate to pay for the 1m, he resorted to using his body. His first ever client is a creepy, old-looking scruffy guy. Later on he found out that the guy is not only handsome but super rich? and he saved him on numerous occassion seems like he's falling. .------------------//. Unrelated oneshots. Ch.5: FUCK. I'm disappointed. Especially when we were left with a boy(seme) in tears and without resolution. #lewd uke #student council #double-faced. #netorare .//. Ch.6: cute #yakuza uke x ordinary seme story. MC (seme) found an unconscious man in the streets and saved him only to notice he's yakuza. He's reluctant at first but started falling. [2017-11-05 18:46 marked]
