RoseMary's manga / #Cute Seme(97)

Interior Designer (23|24) x Tailor (37) - I really liked the idea of the tailor shop, as there aren't many stories like this, and I liked the whole atmosphere, the shop's antique furniture and the interiors of Tetsuya's house. I also love this type of couple with a much younger shorter seme and a much older taller mature uke. It's just that, while I loved the story overall, the dynamics and build up of their relationship wasn't exactly what I expected. I mean, I loved their how they met and their first interactions, like when the tailor took the measures for the suit etc., but then the seme comes to Tetsuya's house drunk and kisses him and just like that they are boyfriends. Then, when they're doing it and the seme asked Tetsuya if he was ok with being the bottom, they say that was already the fourth time they did it, so basically when they went all the way for the first time, they did it off-page and I don't like when they do that. Then we find out that, 15 years before, Tetsuya was married but his wife left him for another man...so, was this his first time with a man? And the seme, was he a virgin or what? Somehow, when I read, I want to know about these things as well. Also the thing with the seme's sister interfering was a bit annoying, so yeah, let's say that the further developments seemed kinda awkward to me and they simply were not much my type. And the construction itself of the story seemed a bit off. In my opinion, it needed some polishing. But it was so cute that in the end it was still very nice and I think it's worth reading.

Male Prostitute, Natsuo (20) x Innocent High-school Student, Kichiro (17) > Now I want a story for Kichiro's friend Shinji and Natsuo's boss, Josaka! As soon as I saw the boss (an ex male prostitute himself), I thought I so wanted a story for him. Then, when he was about to take Natsuo to the Karaoke place, where Shinji also brought Kichiro, I got ahead and immediately started thinking that they'd meet there and that that would be a nice beginning...they look good together, so please sensei give me a story for them!

The art style was not much to my liking, but the story was surprisingly good! Apart from the prestigious, boarding all-boys school setting, which is one of my weaknesses in BL, I liked how the story developed! At first, I was worried about the uke's intentions in suggesting to become the seme's lover out of the blue, and, as we see later in ch. 5, they weren't genuine indeed at the beginning, but all is well that ends well! (Well, the seme also went along with the flow at first, without giving it much thought, when his crush was actually a girl, but he fell in love with the uke right after, so I was mostly worried for the uke). Thankfully it was a healthy and cute relationship in the end, and their budding first love was so endearing and it felt like something precious to protect! So, while it's not one of my fave, I really enjoyed reading this sweet story! > Btw, it would be nice if there was a story for Hoshirou's roommate ohoh

Unique story, I like it when I find something different to read! Too bad that it was not fully developed though! There was a good world building at first but then it was so rushed! The setting and the plot were interesting, but there are things left without a closure, about the brother, who after being brought to jail escaped, and Sagiri says he will search for him, then about Sagiri's family as well. And, in any case, there was so much to be still explored, also at the academy, the school and dorm life, for example...it's a pity because it had the potential to be a better story! At least about their relationship it's completed, although rushed as well, but regarding the plot and the whole background, one would expect a second volume! So, in that respect, it felt like a draft of what could have been! Anyway, it's still cute to read!

Spin-off: Natsuite kuru na yo! (Not scanlated) - It's Nakahara's story

I really liked the calm, relaxing vibe of this story and the slow pace. I liked the setting and its atmosphere, both the scholastic one, with the school building, the art room and the badminton club (which by the way was something a bit different from usual sports clubs), and the natural one, with that beautiful scenery of Kamakura and surroundings. I really loved these aspects and I liked the characters as well. Also, Bikke's art style is very nice. It's just that I gave it 4 stars, because there was something that didn't take me much, like the dead senpai, who was the uke's first boyfriend and, while going out with the uke, he was also going out with a girl although the uke was the one he truly loved, then the seme who resembled that senpai, and senpai's diary that the ex-girlfriend gave to the seme...those elements were not ingredients of my-kind-of-story recipe, you know, so it wasn't one of my favourite stories in that respect, but I really liked it! It was really good. A pure and beautiful story. All in all, it's really a gem!
