RoseMary's manga / #Manly Gay Couple(97)

// Complete //

Gay Photographer x Straight Editor // Seme x Seme Concept - There's no way around it...seeing two mature grown-up men interacting with each other and getting all hot and bothered, it's really something else! I love this type of couples where both guys are manly and self-confident. I really liked it. The only thing that I have to complain about is that line where the photographer, who in the end was the seme, said that he would take a big blow as a man if he would end up bottoming...that kinda ruined it a bit, especially when there was such potential for them to become a reversible couple...

The gay bar's Mama: "You two need to start going out already." // "There's a hotel I get along with well behind my shop. The two of you. Go now." // "Go to the hotel one more time!!" - haha I loved this! So funny! I think the comedy was really this story's strong point! Together with the intimate|sex scenes of course hehe I really like to see two manly guys getting hot for each other, especially with a buff uke like Meguro, who was actually top and turned uke! Well, the plot was nothing impressive, it was the simple, comical kind, but it was my kind of thing, you know, with friends finding themselves in those situations, starting masturbating together and such, so I really liked it! It was an enticing situation and it was really funny to read about this idiotic couple being oblivious about their feelings till the very end! If not for Mama's persuasive advice and intervention, who knows what would have become of these two idiots haha! Anyway, it's not necessarily my favourite, but I really enjoyed it, so I totally recommend it! # Uni Students (both 21 y.o.)

One of the best works by Tenzen Momoko! It was so good! A funny, sweet and charming love story between two adult men. Their feelings felt so true and precious! The beginning was so funny, with the seme finding himself in that predicament he brought on himself and with the misunderstanding that the situation created...well, all is well that ends well hehe I really loved it! It's really a beautiful story that I totally recommend! # Younger Straight Subordinate (First time with a man) x Older Bisexual Uke (He's divorced and has a daughter although she doesn't appear in the story // He already had experience with men as well)

Well, I gave it 3 stars because overall I liked it, but it'd be a 2-stars story. Everything was so rushed and there was no depth whatsoever. Just a shallow oneshot to read when you have nothing to do...

️5 stars for the main|title story! I really liked the way it was written...so good! Est Em's stories are always unique, not only for the art style but also for the concepts and the writing style, and I love that! Here, the theme of traditional indigo dyeing was very interesting. And I liked how the conflicted feelings of the two protagonists were portrayed. Their feelings could really be felt. As I love family-affair stories, I really liked this. By the way, I liked the quote about dyeing which was used as metaphor for their feelings and relationship. I also liked the parallelism of the parts about their respective "returns": first when Taisei returns home, as we see better in ch. 6, Kouta is inside and sees him through the window and calls out his name; then when in the end Kouta is the one returning home, Taisei is the one inside and seeing him calls his name. An impressive story, as expected from sensei. Too bad that here it's so criminally underrated!️ # Brother x Adopted Brother (Kouta's mother died when he was little. Then, when his father died, he was taken in by Taisei's family, as his father was working and living at their dyeing studio.) [[Ch. 7 & 8 are two unrelated oneshots included in this volume respectively called "Swim, Drown, Swim" and "Snow Falling Silently" // I honestly didn't care for these two short stories. Ch. 7 was not my thing and ch. 8 was not bad but it was just a peek at a couple of roommates on a snowy day. They weren't even exactly BL, but they certainly were unique as well.]]

I didn't like the oneshot included in ch. 7, it was so weird u.u

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