Riku suffered a traumatizing experience after coming out and has since chosen to avoid love. That is until the super-confident and dominating pretty-boy, Yoshimi, walks into his life. He deliberately targets Riku's weaknesses, but what are his true intentions? This is a story of discipline, guidance and affection that fills both the heart and body of the handsome and brutish Yoshimi and the naturally timid Riku. (Source: Blissful Sin) Included one-shot: Furueru Te no Saki (Before Trembling Hands) This was toxic af. Like uke had really no choice and the seme had treated him like a toy in my opinion. Yet at the same time, It was fairly intresting with each having a very distinct personality. Its just that this felt very off for something that was suppose to be a comedy.

In a boarding school where talented young boys are gathered together, Tatsumi has the best grades and is the “president’s favorite.” However, his place was just stolen by the pretty boy Azuma who’s rumored to be getting the president’s attention. Tatsumi is irritated by this, but is forced to yield to Azuma whose personality completely changed from the harassment he’s been receiving. Ever since then, Tatsumi’s been scared of Azuma. Tatsumi ends up in the same room as him but slowly realize where his fear comes from… It was very confusing. Like honestly, I kinda didn't understand it because this story needs to be read multiple times in order to actually understand what is going on. This is a very interesting manga with a unique setting, but still it's very hard to follow

After 4 years, the nerdy megane boy with a bowl cut, who wasn't taken into consideration by his classmates, somehow has begun to stand out and has become popular, finally acknowledged by the other students, despite the fact that his appearance didn't change. So, his popular, easygoing friend, the only one who got close to him in middle school, says: "Before you become everybody else's, please become mine first!!" It’s okay…Not much of an impression to me. The story is cute and straightforward.
