RoseMary's manga / #Older Seme(292)

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]]

I really like this story! And it seems the twins will really have incestuous relationship! If I must say, the only thing that doesn't sit right with me is that the brothers' parents left for Africa to fulfill their dream leaving 4 underage kids to their own devices! When such irresponsible parents left the eldest bro was barely 11 and had to look after his three younger bros! That's crazy! 1 Volume (Hiatus) - I marked it only now, but it has been many years that I was waiting for some kind of update.

️A masterpiece! A well-written emotional rollercoaster! I was so absorbed while reading and I was truly touched...a beautiful story! It's a timeless fave of mine. Re-reading this, it makes me feel so nostalgic because it takes me back the those good old times when BL like this were written! There's no way around it, the stories back then had that something which can't be found in today's BL anymore! The drama in old BL was so good, as well as the characterization and the art style. Not to mention the feelings conveyed in them! Man, the emotions were so intense and turbulent...I really loved all this! And this story is a great example of those things! It also has an exquisite slow pace, which was so right for this story and gave way to a great building up, both emotional and plot-wise, which lets the reader get to care for the characters and get attached to the story, feeling their own feelings and wanting to read till the end, accompanying them, just to see them happy! It's really one of the best shounen ai and old manga! To me, this is really a precious unforgettable story! >>> Vol. 3, ch. 5 "Memory" gave even more value to Robert and Georges' relationship, which felt truly precious and special, because Robert actually had met Georges before Grace once when they were children, right when Robert's mother died. During that brief chance encounter, Robert was struck by the purity of the boy and the kindness he showed him. It was something he had never known, so he was struck by it to the point of being even scared by it. But he thought "so overwhelmingly beautiful". Then, as we see at the end of Vol. 4 ch. 4, there was also a funny episode, when Georges started middle school, where they kind of met again for chance unknowingly. So, in the end, it felt like a fated relationship! Then, at vol. 7 ch. 3, it was so beautiful when Robert realized the kid he encountered back then was Georges! So, Grace certainly was precious to Robert and he loved her (although it was unrequited, as she one-sidedly loved Robert's brother the priest Louis), but in the end it was more like he fell in love with her at first sight because he unconsciously saw the kid back then in her. So, George is not really a substitute. And anyway Robert already said to Alain (Grace's step-brother) that George wasn't a substitute even before realizing that he was that kid! So, when he realized, it was all even more precious! >>> In the end, I admit I wanted to see more of Robert and Georges, but it was sweet with their matching rings and all! Even though there were really only three kiss scenes in all, it didn't matter! It was perfect just like that!️ # Catholic All-Boys School (It also has a dormitory, where some of the side characters are staying, but the two protagonists commute from home, so they aren't dorm residents), Classmates, Older Seme (about 2 years older - after Grace died hit by a car for which Robert blamed himself, he didn't go to school for a long time and he even stayed at a center of care to get back on his feet. So, when he goes back to school, he's in the same class as George), Foreign Setting and Foreign Characters. [[Notes for myself]] Vol. 4 ch. 3 - the part about Grace. Robert's housekeeper tells Georges the whole story // Vol. 7 ch. 2 - The whole truth about Georges' birth and how he was connected to Grace, who turns out to be his sister) Alternate Story: 101-ninme no Alice (Not scanlated) - Music-themed story // It shares the same universe of La Esperança. Georges appears there in a few scenes.

3 Volumes (Complete?) - Raw: 77mh.com / colist_182963.html Sequel: Shuujuu Keiyaku o Musubou! (Not scanlated) - Continuation about the couple Chris (Waka's childhood friend) and the priest's relationship. // 1 Volume (Complete) - Raw (Complete): 77mh.com / colist_227511.html > I hope to read the rest of this story. And I'd also really like to read the sequel about Chris and the priest!

️The plot is definitely unique and interesting. There's an intriguing mystery going on and I wanted to continue reading to see things being revealed and all the pieces nicely coming together. And, about this, I think the narration of the events was good. Personally, I didn't find it confusing or anything like that. I think it was written well. There's also an interesting cast of characters. Regarding Tomoki and Kaname (in his young appearance), I like them together, although there're a couple of things that are not much to my liking: first of all, Kaname at first basically rapes Tomoki, and then the thought that Kaname is actually an old guy makes it a bit weird. I mean, he could be his grandfather! Anyways, I'm interested in the story. Too bad though that it's dropped, so it's not complete here. Hope to read the rest!️ 3 Volumes (Complete)

Surprisingly, it was put together nicely! I wouldn't call it a favourite of mine, but I really enjoyed reading it! It's a fun, cute and simple story from which you wouldn't expect much at first, but it was actually good!

Collection of two stories: • Ch. 1-4 Pet wo Kaimashou - Teen delinquent, Straight Uke (17) x Rich president of entertainment production company, Bisexual Seme (35) // Debt // Master-Pet Relationship • Ch. 5-7 Please Say You're Happy! - Foreign Seme (Prince) x Japanese Uke // Side Story of: Ore-sama to Ouji-sama - This is about the 2nd Prince, Edward, going to Japan to find a bride. It's the episode they were talking about at the beginning of Ore-sama to Oujisama, at p.6

Silly like the prequel. Once again, it was supposed to be a cute and funny reading, but it really wasn't. Definitely not a good story. Also, there was a bit of continuation about the relationship between the chairman and Takano, but it wasn't shown in detail. We got to see them having a proper sex scene only once in the very end. So, even in that respect, it was a quite disappointing reading. Prequel: Oteuchi Kakugo!
