hikage_neko's manga / #romance(154)

Ok there we have 2 couples in it and they all belong to the model industry. First couple is Shinpei (uke) and Ryo (seme). A very possessive seme where he literally feels jealous over other guys, even if Shinpei is just talking about them even without any interaction at all. I find their story a bit cliched and too fast forward. I somehow felt it was rushed just to reach the part where they should already feel something for each other. I guess if there are additional chapters to develop it then it might hit the spot. Now for the second couple, Yuuma (uke) and Takanobu (seme). Honestly, I love the second couple better. I feel sorry for Yuuma at first, coz he when he re-confessed his feelings to Taka, he covered his mouth so as not to hear him professing his love. I find it rude for Yuuma's part and sad at the same time coz he wasn't given the chance to confess properly and at the same time, that is enduring the feeling of rejection. Takanayagi, the guy who could have been considered as a third party should there have been a romantic involvement, left our couple and finally made up. Definitely 6 years is worth it after Taka realized that he is seriously in-love with Yuuma. I love both semes coz they are both possessive of their ukes, but they are possessive in different ways. I like Ryo how he is all over Shinpei and our uke finds it unreasonable being him a very jealous boyfriend, but well he is in-love no doubt that's why he doesn't want other people laying eyes on his lover. For Takanobu, I feel sad at first coz he was afraid to admit that there is something for Yuuma, and yet he kept in himself. Until he felt that Yuuma no longers accompany him wherever. whenever thinking that Takanayagi was the reason behind it. Thus given our seme's character, he mustered up his courage and profess his love and admits that he is also in-love with Yuuma. Like they say, you will feel the importance of someone, until you lose them. Overall, it was a good read with, Narusaka Rin as the author no less. The art is definitely always something to look forward to. I hope there would be a manga for their manager so he can also find his lover ^_^

Our dear couple Takashi (uke) and Hayate (seme) made a promise that they will date once a year on Takashi's birthday until our dear uke finds someone he likes more than Hayate. A promise that Takashi held on since high school and despite their circumstance, Takashi even fell deeper in love. Takashi thought to himself that he cannot continue with this unrequited love towards his straight friend, he lied by telling him that he already has someone he loves. Its a sad story of unrequited love having this feeling, that he needs to choose either to pursue his love, or have this kind of love be kept hidden. I still find this story really sad, even after reading it several times already...yet I still love it... I just hope this doesn't happen to me... a re-encounter, promises, once a year and all that ~~sighs~~

I've read this again...and again...and again... It always amazes me how beautiful our dear mangaka Mio Tatsumoto creates these kinds of stories. Its always different and definitely the unique ones which always leaves me in awe. The stories always have a slice of life, its difficult but definitely not impossible. I love our dear couple, Satoshi (seme first then became uke) and Keita (uke first then became seme). Their story started since high school then fast forward to living together after 3 years. After resolving their issues, Keita had this feeling that urged him to top Satoshi which made both of them weird, but were able to overcome those fears by being honest and revealing what they truly feel inside. Sweetness and fluff overload is absolutely felt. I'm glad that I was able to reminisce this again, and finally made a review and comment on this beautiful manga. I hope there's season 2! ^_^

One of CTK's best stories I should say. The story about Jimmy (seme) who was caught stealing someone's wallet by Reese (uke) a middle-aged guy and ex-cop. After Reese saw what Jimmy did, instead of turning him in to the police, he asked him to work at the bookstore and became a mascot and did all the chores for the day. So to get back at Reese, Jimmy decided to break-in at Reese' house but didn't do anything. Jimmy then went to work at the bookstore. At first, he thought that he was just curious about Reese, but then he found himself being attracted to him physically and eventually emotionally. After being a couple, Jimmy kind of slipped-out that he went to Reese' house despite him not being invited in yet to his place. Jimmy confessed what he did, but out of Reese' anger, they didn't talk for several days. They did make up after their fight and eventually Reese' decided to go back to being a cop again. I first saw this story after reading Midnight Rain (way back since I don't know when ^_^). I thought it was almost the same with Midnight Rain, but this really had a lot of fluff in it that even Reese' could barely endure it spoiling Jimmy ^_^ I love how the story developed. Though it was kind of fast-paced (well since Jimmy said he don't know how to take things slow ^_^) the story and the art is definitely something to look forward to!

A beautiful love triangle story. The story of Kaichi (uke) who is able to read the minds of other people. Got to reunite with his senpai whom he has feelings for. Then comes in his cousin, Tatsuya who is surprisingly can also read minds though the mystery remains to him as to why he cannot read Kaichi's mind. He then later found out that the one who has the capability to do so, cannot read the mind of the other bearer of such gift. After all the troubles and complications, the story ended well. I got to happen to read this when I started to read yaoi way back. It kinda feels good reminiscing this kind of story despite knowing its a love triangle, but it turned out to be a good one. I love stories with 3rd parties! The thrill excites me on who's gonna win but in the end but I like how the story played out. I love the art, the fluff and how it developed. You can see the progress in every chapter and how the characters managed to keep a good communication after everything that happened between them. Our seme is just mature on how he takes up on things. The usual routine that the uke was dense, but in the end he finally realizes and decides on what he wants and go for it. If you're looking for a story that involves supernatural ability, beautiful art, fluff and smut, cuteness with possessive lovers all around then this one is for you.

I've read this several times already and was given the chance just now to create a review. This is a definite meaning of messed-up... A story of incest, dealt with so much love, pain and grief. Senoo Kaoru (seme), a who fell in love with a freshman named Shinohara Akira (uke). At first, our seme has been chasing our dear uke but Akira has an incest relationship with his uncle Shinohara Souya (seme). Kaoru only knew about it when he saw them kissing at the front of their school when Souya picked up Akira. Souya is reminiscing about his relationship with Akira's mom (his sister) and has been thinking of returning Akira to his own family. Little did Souya know, that Kaoru is Akira's older brother and they are classmates. Souya now bothered, he kept his distance from Akira and so to put an end to their relationship, he decided to talk with Akira's father. Since Akira's not getting attention from his 'dad', went to rebellious phase by making up with Kaoru thinking that Souya might get jealous once he did 'it' with other people. After doing it for several times, Akira invited Kaoru in his place and had sex. Souya went home and was surprised to see the two just had sex. Souya asked the guy's name and told Akira to not have that kind of relationship especially with that guy. He told Akira that he decided to return him to his family and he'll be leaving the country for good. Confessing everything to Akira, thinking that Souya is just making up excused and is about to leave him went on berserk. Souya noticed that the fire started spreading, immediately told Akira everything and Kaoru went back to get his card. Fortunately, he was able to rescue Akira but Souya (his uncle) didn't make it. After few months of healing, Akira's memories didn't return and Kaoru decided to leave. I'm glad I was able to picture everything out as if it was just yesterday. Honestly, its incest overload but its a very traumatic story too. I feel sad for Akira coz he was starving for love, too much that he thinks that what his 'dad' and himself is having, is just normal coz he knew about his mother's relationship with Souya all along. As for Kaoru, he fell in love with Akira but he knew first that they were siblings. He could've stopped himself before diving in that deep, but he gave in to his desires so the brotherly relationship which could've blossomed into something beautiful will never happen. As for Souya, given the circumstance that he wasn't able to move on after losing Akira's mother been selfish and gave justification to his actions. That's why when he decided to come to his senses and return Akira to his own family, it backfired. Everything's twisted but I admire our dear mangaka who have sought this out given that this might be difficult to happen in real life, as if it might not be destined to but not impossible. For another, occurence of such tragic stories like this took too much courage and inspiration at the same time to put this in to writing. So if you wanna read a dark, twisted and definitely a tragic love story then this manga is a must-read.
