RoseMary's manga / #Gay Uke/Seme(227)

Adapted from: Mankai Darling - Haruhiko and Takashi from Mankai Darling appear here in Bokura no Negai from ch. 4, when Hayato, one of the brothers protagonists here starts working part-time at the flower shop of Haruhiko, who is now 34 y.o. Hayato works there till the end of the story. ≪✿✿≫ I really like BL stories revolving around the members of a certain family. Especially if they're a bit long, so that I can take it slow and taste it well. Also, I like stories with time progression, because I like to follow all the characters' events in different periods of their lives, to see them grow up and such. I really liked the whole atmosphere and all of the characters here! About the side couple, Haruhiko and Takashi from the flower shop, I must say that I actually wasn't crazy for them and their story (from Mankai Darling), but here they fitted so well with the whole story and they gave a nice contribute, especially Haruhiko really made things funny and in the end he also helped in getting Hayato and Ryou together! About the main couples, I was really satisfied with Kento and Take. For Ryou and Hayato, I have to say that in the end I wanted to see a bit more of them as "lovers" and not "brothers" anymore. Because while I really liked the whole process and the pace, with Hayato's conflicted feelings, he talking about it with Haruhiko first and then with Kento as well...then confessing and in the end finally getting together. But that's at the end that they get together, so I felt that I needed a bit more. But I really loved everything about this story! One of my top favourites by sensei!! • Ryou, mistakenly translated as Ame in the first chapters (Eldest brother, not related by blood to the rest of the brothers // 19 y.o. in the 1st chapter, 20 in the 2nd chapter, by the end he's around 23 // Straight and Virgin Uke // After their parents die in the first chapter, he takes on the family business and runs the cafè) x Hayato (3rd brother // In the first chapter he's about 13 (he's an eighth-grader, so a 2nd-year middle-school student), 14 in the 2nd chapter (3rd-year middle-school student) // Virgin Seme // He falls in love with Ryou first // After completing middle school and high school, he is admitted to uni by the end) // Step-brothers // Age Gap // Older Uke // They get together at the end • Kento (2nd brother // In the 1st chapter he's probably 16, in the second chapter 17 (3rd-year high-school student), by the end around 20 // After graduating from high school, he helps Ryou running the cafè // Gay Uke // He's in a physical relationship with his first guy, an older salaryman, but then he get with Takeya, although at first he rejects him) x Takeya, mistakenly translated as Yuya in the first chapters (Masato's classmate // At the beginning he's a fifth-grader in elementary school and he's about 10 // By the end he's about to enter high school // He confesses his feelings to Kento at the beginning; they get together a bit after but they do it after Take is accepted to high school) // Age Gap: 6 years // Older Uke • Masato (4th brother // At the beginning he's a fifth-grader in elementary school and he's about 10 // By the end he's about to enter high school) [[The dramatic part is mostly in the first chapter, where Ryou's father dies in a car accident and then the three brothers' mother dies because of cancer. After that, it's actually a warm and fun series]]

Really good and fun story with cordial and warm vibe! I really liked all the characters and the whole crazy family situation! A "Home Drama" for real haha I liked how, despite having all different mothers and being so different themselves from one another, the brothers get along so well and are comfortably living together, and also being together in somehow always driving away housekeepers one after the other haha They really needed someone like Shinnosuke, so capable in everything and also tough, literally able to knock them down ohoh he was cute and cool at the same time! In the end, I gave 4 stars to the story though, because I felt like something was still missing there to make it really completed. I loved the way Shinnosuke and the 2nd bro, Ryuuzou, became a couple, from their earlier interactions to the following development...but, while there was a good building up, I felt their sex scene was too brief. I wish it could have been felt a bit more! And the end felt a bit abrupt, with them becoming step-brothers at the very end: I mean, it's right there at the end that an actual "step-siblings' love" story would have begun! Also, its' a pity that things didn't work out for Kouji and Kyougo, the eldest and the third brothers. Too bad the third bro's feelings were one-sided. Especially since, although they didn't tell it to him, it turned out the third bro was actually their father's best friend's son, so it wouldn't have been even incest. Actually, even if the eldest said he couldn't return his feelings, at the end it felt like their situation was still unresolved, because even Ryuuzou said the thing with them was still hanging in the balance, so we needed more! Also, in the end, the little bro receiving a love letter from a third-year student and thinking about it...we definitely needed to see more about that as well! Yep, without a doubt, it would have been really nice to see more of all the other brothers! In fact, when I read stories with brothers, I love to see all of their events. That's something really amusing! So yeah, I kinda needed a second volume to see a bit more of everything! But it's still a favourite of mine!! I really enjoyed reading it! >> Note for myself: [[Toura brothers - 4 half-brothers*: Kouji (31, Eldest bro, Salaryman, Straight); Ryuuzou (28, 2nd bro, Scriptwriter, Gay); Kyougo (17, 3rd bro, High-school student, He's in love with the eldest bro, Gay); Koroku (14, 4th bro, Middle-school student, by the end he has barely just started questioning about love and sexuality) - and the new housekeeper, Shinnosuke (23, Tea Ceremony Instructor, Currently housekeeper at the Toura Household, Straight, He suspected he also was an half-brother of the the Toura bros, because his mother knew their father around the time he was born, but that wasn't the case at all. But in the very end of the story he really becomes their step-brother due to his mother and the bros' father meeting in Alaska and getting together. // *It turned out the third bro is actually not related to the bros]]

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!

Unique story, the general idea was interesting! I must say that in actuality I honestly didn't care about all the cases they investigated, so it was boring for me to read those parts. At some point, I went through those pages quickly. But, apart from that, which also depends on one's personal tastes, it's a well-done nice and fun reading. Especially the characters were charming. I really liked Chiaki and Natsuki! I liked them together. I actually always like sensei's characters: I like the way she draws them, their personalities and behaviours...they never fail to fascinate me! In this story, I really liked this type of couple, which was also kinda unique I'd say, and that's definitely what made me read till the end! Their romance seemed marginal, and it really wasn't the focus of the story, but it slowly evolved and the ending was really nice! For the characters and their relationship, I'd have given it 4 stars!

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!

Tsurugi Kai's best work!

• Ch. 1-4.6 Familiar - Step-brothers // High-School Student Straight Seme x Older Gay Uke (tbh I'd have liked to know how old the characters are! Especially the uke: he's a working adult, maybe a young adult, but his age is not told and that bothered me a bit, as I like to know such details about the characters) • Ch. 5-5.5 Fairytale Game - Part-time Job // Coworkers // Older Uke // Age Gap // Adult Couple // Young Adult (21) x Adult (26) // Shorter Seme

Age Gap: 7 years // Uke: about 30 y.o. // Seme: about 23 y.o. // When he was a 2nd-year high-school student, Daisuke molested his little sister's friend Masa // Reunion after 13 years // The now adult Masa rapes the older guy. > Note: the older guy was a minor himself back then, he was about 16 or 17. Still, the younger one was still a child!

// Complete // 2 Volumes (Complete) - Only the side story "Brother" in vol. 2 was not scanlated - Raw: manhuagui.com / comic / 26786 / 347849.html

Half-brothers // 26 y.o. seme x 17 y.o. uke // Age Gap: 9 years. > Note: at the end of chapter 5, the seme sees the result of the DNA test and, from his expression, we can tell what it was. Then in chapter 6 "Secret", it's basically confirmed by the the things the seme says. In any case, he intends to not tell it to the uke, fearing that he'll lose his place by his side as a lover. But I think the uke deserved to know...
