RoseMary's manga / #Straight Uke(133)

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

Bisexual Flower Shop Manager Haruhiko (28--->29--->last ch: 30) x Teen Employee Takashi (18--->19--->last ch:20, 21) [[Side Couple: (Originally straight) Flower Shop's Employee Ryou (23) x Gay Salaryman Tsuzuki Toshio (28) - Established couple already cohabitating since the prequel, where only Ryou appeared. Here Tsuzuki was finally introduced, but they didn't have much space, but in ch. 10 we see how they got together through the Manager, who, before opening the shop, was a salaryman working together with Tsuzuki.]] Prequel: Koi to Wana - Ch. 5 Us, Blooming (Shounen Ai) Spin-off: Bokura no Negai - Haruhiko and Takashi appear there from ch. 4 onwards when Hayato, one of the brothers protagonists there, starts working part-time at Haruhiko's flower shop. And he works there till the end of the story.

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

1 Volume (Complete) - Hope to read the whole story!

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

Uncle (26 or 27) x Nephew (18 or 19, first-year uni student) // Age Gap: 8 years - Cute and funny story, nothing special though. The characters weren't much interesting in my opinion, but it was a nice quick reading.

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...

[[Author: Sakuragi Chisako; Artist: Honami Yukine]] Honestly speaking, I couldn't put up with their mutual misunderstandings anymore. In that respect, it was a frustrating almost ridiculous reading, especially regarding the uke's thoughts. At some point he himself said "maybe I'm overthinking too much" and I really didn't know what to do with him anymore. They seemed both pathetic and hopeless, but especially the uke. Anyways, overall I liked it. Mostly because it's a cousins' story, which I always like to read, and in the end, when they FINALLY get together (after dragging the misunderstandings for so long that it tired us out), it was nice! And Honami Yukine's art is nice as well, so it made the story more bearable! I must say that the character Issei, the uke's childhood friend and uni buddy, was so much more interesting then the two protagonists! He even took the situation into his hands and convinced Mizuho to go to see Enji, otherwise the uke would have still been there not knowing what to do with himself. So yeah I wish there was a story for Issei, especially since it was said that he could be bisexual! And in the end, when he accompanied the uke, I liked how he met Yoshimi-san, the seme's tutor and physician who is gay, so that could have been the beginning of a story for those two! #Cousins, Uni Students, 1-year-older Uke
