RoseMary's manga / #Older Seme(292)

[Edit: 2022-03-31] So, I actually had read this back in the days and I re-read it now because I came across "Seikimatsu Prime Minister" that is the prequel of Yuigon. Honestly, after reading both, I don't get why the author would go and make this kind of sequel. The part regarding Sai and Matsumoto is good and in fact it's the only thing that I liked! I'm so glad that in the end they ended up together. At least they got their happy ending! But I didn't like the main part regarding Kanata and Ryouichi (ch. 1-4). First of all, it's actually not really a sequel, but more like an expansion of the part where the prime minister's bodyguard, who is secretly in love with him, is shot protecting him and is unconscious at the hospital as we see in the prequel. In Yuigon, the author showed us that while he was there unconscious he dreams about the past and so we see when they met back in high school and how Ryouichi fell in love with Kanata. We see about their friendship and how they found solace in each other after finding out that they both shared the similar circumstance of being raped by a man. > If one read only this, it may seem like a sad but realistic and maybe even touching BL about repressed|unexpressed unrequited love and the serious issues of (child) rape and trauma (even though towards the end it was rushed and quickly came to an end). However, after reading the main story, going back then to this sequel, I think this simply adds more frustration to the one the main story already gives! And I don't know why the author had to make both of their circumstances so dark with both of them actually being rape victims. She really gave us the final blow with all the flashbacks of the time when Ryouichi fell in love with Kanata back in high school, as the title of the chapters "Memories of when we met" already suggests, giving us even more sad feelings about all this story. It made me even more frustrated and disappointed! So yeah i don't really get the point of making Yuigon (except for the extra which provides an epilogue to the Sai x Matsumoto part)! Prequel: Seikimatsu Prime Minister

Well, I liked the idea, as it was the kind of situation / dynamic that I like. But that was mostly at the beginning, for how the story started, their initial interaction and when the class president found out his classmate cross-dressed for that cam site / online chat...then, I have to say that how the story continued, developed and the way itself in which it was written didn't convince me much, and then their interaction wasn't interesting anymore, so it wasn't much satisfying for me. Maybe because I imagined a bit different development. But I really felt the author could have done more with all this. Something was missing. Also the fact that in the end it was shounen ai, I admit that, for how the story was going, I anticipated the moment when they would become intimate, especially since the seme said he wanted to touch him more and the uke said he had never done that and to go easy on him, so yeah...all in all, I wasn't really satisfied with this story...I needed a bit more! But I still liked it! I liked also the other oneshot included called "Similar Figures of Love" (ch.4 p.36-63, 72-75). It was too short though...and, just like the main story, I needed something more! >> Note: It's not Gender Bender and not Yaoi either.

Part-time Lecturer at an Art Prep School (20) x Sculpture Teacher (32) - I really like this story! Although I don't like plots involving at some point some anonymous stalker or weirdo secretly lurking around and bullying the uke and warning him to stay away from the seme and such, I really like the prep art school as setting and I was really liking the characters and the development of their relationship. The art is also beautiful. I especially like how the mangaka drew their eyes and their various expressions! Too bad that the story is unfinished and, if it remains like this, it's not even yaoi but shounen ai, as they didn't reach the point of being intimate yet, apart from that one good kissing scene. So, I would really love to see what would happen next, but sadly the story has been unfinished for so many years already...

// Currently up to 3 Chapters - Ongoing? // Adapted from: Tone to Makoto wa Tokidoki Koibito - This is the story of the student with the mask, Jirou, and his older boyfriend, Fuji. Here we see how they met and how their relationship started.

【】A popular novelist who's currently having a writer's block finds at the beach a young man, unconscious and naked! What is more, once awaken, it seems the man has also lost his memory... ⇝ I don't like to rush into making guesses, but obviously something's up! I think the mystery guy already knew the novelist, as he knew about his debut work...he may be fan or opposite...anyway, we still don't know about his circumstances and why he was in that condition, but I feel their meeting must be a fateful one...the young man will probably be the reason the novelist will be able to write again and maybe even write a book about|dedicated to him haha I don't know, I got that idea from the title, "For You, Who I Picked up On the Beach".

Adapted from: Katakoi × Alliance - This is the story of Akito's friend Sano. Virgin uni student who wants to get a girlfriend (19) x An Associate professor he asks for love advice > "Please!! Teach me your love techniques!!" - haha we all know how that will turn out xD Anyway, I loved Sano from the very beginning, since the main story, and I was so looking forward to read his story! I loved it indeed! It was the kind of funny beginning and situation|dynamic that I like, so I really enjoyed reading it!

Collection of stories: • Ch. 1 Hippy - 4 ! Sweet story about students and basketball. I really liked it~♡ » Tonomura went against his parents and teachers to join a certain school with a basketball team, because a senpai he admired was a member there, but Asami senpai had already left the team and now he doesn't play anymore... However, our Tonomura gets to meet him, because senpai had the bright idea to make out with a girl right in the gym storage room xD I love this kind of situations and I liked how Tonomura tried to make contact with senpai, not letting this chance slip: "Let's play a game. If you make 7 shots first, then I'll apologize". I liked how senpai then started to notice him, following him with the eyes...and before he knew it he kissed him haha p. 25 was intense xD I wanted moreee, but it's already good as it is! I liked how they interacted and how their relationship developed. "Shall we play another game?" (｡^‿^✿)

Collection of three stories: • Ch. 1-3, Extra: Koi To Wana - School Life, High School, Classmates, Train, Traditional House, Scar, The seme's family is yakuza but he says that it got dissolved (anyway it's just regarding the seme's background, but it's not a yakuza story!) - I really liked the beginning, but then not so much the rest. Even the sex scenes weren't that good: we saw the uke having sex with the student who he was in a physical relationship with (so he will protect him from potential bullies), and then when he finally does it for the first time with someone he loves, so the seme, we didn't get to see it! Then when they did it again, there wasn't a proper sex scene even once. So yeah, let's say that it failed a bit my expectations, but I still liked it. 3 stars. • Ch. 4: Love Blood - High-school Student, Countryside, Smoking, The seme has LGBT parenthood // Too short and so fast-paced, but I liked it! 3 stars. • Ch. 5: Us, Blooming - Shounen Ai, Cute and Fluffy, 3 stars, Sequel: Mankai Darling
