Kingyo no Koi
Adapted from: Kirakira no Hibi - This is the story of Uni students Chiaki and Ayumi, who got to know Shuu while doing a part-time job as lifeguards. Chiaki had a crush on Shuu but never confessed and later felt heartbroken when he saw that Shuu fell in love with Nanami, a guy. >> I have mixed feelings about this story! Overall, I liked it. I mean, I was curious to read their story and so I was really looking forward to read it. From what I saw in the main story, I liked Ayumi and I wanted to see how he would make Chiaki fall in love with him...but I can't hide that I was unsatisfied / disappointed with the turn the story took from ch. 3 onwards!! I didn't think Ayumi would do something like chaining him (and it was not the chaining per sè, as it wasn't that extreme). Was it necessary? Well, if we think about how he grew up always having what he wanted expect for that one time he was shocked because he didn't manage to have some goldfish, then that could explain how he'd want to monopolize Chiaki and keep him in his clasp once he decided he wanted him...and I mean a little possessivness is good too, but that seems all a bit weird! I also understand that the author used that tying down thing to bring out the issue of Chiaki's step-brother tying him down by blackmailing him, and I actually liked how Ayumi delt with the step-brother making it so that Chiaki was able to put an end to that situation, but as I said it felt weird, especially as in the end they are all lovey-dovey like that! I would have preferred to see Ayumi making Chiaki fall in love with him in a genuine way, after all I think he had the potential to do so without restraining him! I don't know, overall I liked it, but it was not what I expected / wanted to see...it was also kinda difficult for me to rate it. I would have wanted to give it 4 stars, but I wasn't convinced so I gave 3. Let's leave it at that. # Straight Seme x Bisexual Uke > Note: tagged with wrong genres - it's not fantasy / supernatural
Yume No Kodomo
High-school Student (17) x Older Sister's friend|Novelist (24) One of my old favourites. I think it's one of the best BL from the 90s. Probably many works took inspiration from this later on, especially in regard to age-gap theme, so it's a story to read! To be honest, I don't like psycho ex-lovers still hanging around in an obsessive, stalkery way, trying to take back the person even with force, rape etc., so the whole drama with Ren's ex-lover Hirose was not exactly my type of thing. But overall the story was really good and engaging! Also, I'm weak when it comes to age gap / youth x adult, cohabitating due to certain circumstances and such, so I really enjoyed the interaction and the development of the relationship between Ren and Jouji! In the end, I was so glad to see them looking happy together! > Note: The title "Yume no Kodomo" is actually the title of one of the novels written by Ren. And that novel is Youji's favourite, but at the beginning he doesn't know that his favourite (female) author is actually Ren, whom he hates at first...Ahhh such fate!! > Vol. 2 ch. 4 - First Kiss. > Vol. 3 ch. 3 - They kiss again. > Vol. 4 ch. 6 - Drunk Ren gets more intimate with Youji till giving him a blowjob. > Vol. 5 ch. 2 - Getting intimate again without being drunk. > Vol. 5 ch. 5 - They do it for the first time together. > Vol. 6 ch. 4 - Youji topping for the first time. # Straight Uke x Bisexual Seme (Uke in previous relationship) // Seke // Reversible Couple // Love Confession // Slow Romance // Unexpected Feelings // Unrequited Love Becomes Requited Side Story: Tsuioku no Shounen (not scanlated) - mangaupdates.com / series.html?id=11528
Kimi Ga Nozomeba Ano Hoshi Saemo
(()) "People of the World" Theatrical Company's Actor Susami x High-school Student Hashiba (17), who then joins the company to substitute an injured actress in a play. > Involving also the company's chairman Oginome and his former lover Tomomi, who was also an actor in the company before, but then went over to another company called "Black", managed by Oginome's senpai Kuroda, who is the antagonist of the story and tries to sabotage "People of the World". In the end, thankfully Oginome and Tomomi come together again and it's a happy ending for them too! The very ending, although rushed, was fun and cute! Especially Susami's adlib in the play haha I loved Hashiba and Susami together!
