RoseMary's manga / #Mixed Blood(46)

≪•..•≫ Story of childhood friends Touma and Takaya - A true gem! I totally loved this story! Somehow it felt like a story from which we can learn something...I appreciated the points of view on things offered by the author and I really liked the family acceptance of a gay relationship, in particular Takaya's dad was so cool! That's how every story should end! Seriously, that's how it is supposed to be. Anyway, I also loved Yone-senpai and Ao's story. I liked their first meeting and the type of relationship. That's totally my type of story and somehow I'm always captivated by a character like Ao! I loved it when he said: "Fine, I'll think about it but...I'll beat the shit out of you if you run away with my heart." # Half-Japanese, Half-German Uke (Touma)

# Half-Japanese Half-American Seme Sequel: Shintan Kairou - Set 7 years after Smells Like Green Spirit, it's the story of Yanagida-sensei, who attempted rape on Mishima.

❂ [Baka-Updates] Suddenly stricken with lupus, a photographer loses sight in one eye. Faced with an uncertain prognosis, he feels an urgent need to revisit the South Pacific island that inspired his career. Can he convince the man he encountered there years ago, now a medical researcher in Southern California, to accompany him on his journey? > I really loved this story! Especially when they went back to the island together and when they finally made love immersed in the nature...it was truly beautiful and fascinating! Also, Mani's tribal tattoos looked so good on him! # Half-South-Pacific Half-French Uke

Story revolving around the popular male strip club "Naked" and focusing on two couples: • Ch. 1-3, 6.5 - Top dancer Leo x Salaryman Tachibana-san • Ch. 4-6 - MC Angie x Half-Russian Half-Japanese Misha > It was already so sexy, especially Leo during the shows was so hot and seductive, but I admit that I wanted to see more sex scenes! Like in the extra with Leo in that get-up, a smexy sex scene would have been great. And I loved the second couple, but unfortunately there was no sex scene. Nevertheless, it was a really nice reading.

• Ch. 1-3, 5 Half-Italian Half-Japanese Young Master, Carlo x Japanese Bodyguard, Gen • Ch. 4, 6 Carlo's Italian older half-brother, Justino x South-Asian Servant Cardil (probably Indian) > I really liked Carlo and Gen together! And I was also particularly interested in Justino and Cardil's story...too bad it was only a chapter plus extra, so it felt more like a background story! I definitely wanted to see more of both couples! It left me feeling that it wasn't enough! Maybe the author could have done 1 whole volume for Carlo's story and then a spin-off for Justino's story! That way, it could have been developed better, at the right pace and in a more refined and detailed way (and yeah, I admit that I wanted to see more smexy stuff between the characters!). But I still really liked it overall! P.S. In ch. 5, Carlo and Gen have matching earrings! hehe

Kokoro: "Next time may I be on top?" - Seriously, why do authors always tease us like this? XD Anyway, it was such a cute reading! How romantic that the uke went to Japan also hoping to find a precious partner just like it happened to his father! I'm so glad he found a sweet and capable guy like Haiji...they're so cute together! # Half-Japanese Half-Italian Uke (18) x Japanese Seme (20), Seme with partially blonde-dyed hair (Bi-color Hair)

I loved the uke, Yuri! Small and cute but ballsy and strong! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ # Half-Japanese Half-American Seme

2007-released Collection of older works by Oumi Shinano: • Ch. 1 Where Miracle Exists? - Youth / Male Prostitute x Salaryman // Straight Seme // Older Seme // Reencounter • Ch. 2-3 Hisuiiro no Kaze / Wind of the Green Jade - Youth / High-school Student x Famous Novelist (the so-called “Hard-boiled man”) // Seaside Village // Half-Japanese Half-German Uke // Jade-green Eyes // Motorcycle // Family Drama // Older Seme > Wind of the Green Jade is actually the title of the story that the novelist wrote at the end of the story and dedicated to Midori. • Ch. 4 First Step - Dancing // Theater // Stage Actors // Older Seme - [[Also published in Yatte Yaru, Konya!, ch. 3 - mangago.me / read-manga / yatte_yaru_konya / an / yatte-yaru-konya--chapter-3.html / 3 /]] • Ch. 5 Love Song - Inter-linked to and set after the events of ch. 4, it's focused on the established adult couple of Saeki and Yoshiki. > Too bad for the one-sided sex / "rape as a start of relationship" often found in Oumi Shinano's stories! Here, the only story that doesn't have such element is the last one. Anyway, overall I liked all the stories, but for the plot and my personal tastes I really liked the first story and the second story (the title story). For those two maybe I'd have given it 4 stars...

(()) Collection of three stories: • Ch. 1 (1.1,1.2,1.3), 4.5 Almost Paradise - Art Teacher x Middle-school Student (in Hokkaido) // Reunion after 10 years when the student is an adult too (in Tokyo) // Older Uke // Glasses-Wearing Uke • Ch. 2 Café Winterreise - Set in Germany (Berlin) // Cafè Owner // Half-Japanese Half-German x Japanese // Gay Uke x Gay Seme // Finding Love Again • Ch. 3-4 Gold, Ash, Dark Green / Looking at the Night Sky while Waiting - Historical Fantasy // Supernatural // Village // European Ambience // Long-Haired Seme // Cute Uke // Mage / Doctor x Wolf turned into human / later he'll be the Mage's Apprentice (The young wolf fell into a bear-trap and even his brother couldn't release him from it. Since it happened on a full-moon night, luckily through magic he could be turned into human by the pack's leader in order to escape from the trap. Then the brother was told to find the village's mage and seek his help for the wounded boy). > I think the title story is a "student x teacher" gem! I really liked it and it's without a doubt my favourite in this collection, but the other two stories were good too! In particular, for the second story I'd have liked to read a continuation (and I'd have liked to see them getting intimate)! And the third one is a kind of story I love, so I really liked it as well!

[[Heavy content]] - This story may not be liked by everyone, but I think it's really underrated when it's actually well-written! And the heavy issues were depicted in a realistic, credible way! A great intense, deep, psychological story by Nishida Higashi! An emotional reading! #Widow x Widow, Tragic Past, LGBT Parent, Gay Uke with Son (The wife committed suicide) x Straight Seme (The wife and the son died in a car accident), Dead Family Member, Family Drama, Doctor x Musician|Conductor, Classical Music, Orchestra, Concert, Former Male Prostitute, Negligent|Absent Parent, Angst, Dark Past, Difficult Childhood, Childhood Trauma, Rape Victim, Mental Breakdown, Mental Illness, Abused by his own father when he was a child, Mentally Unstable, Foreign Uke x Half-Japanese Seme, Foreign Setting
