High-school Student (17) x Older Sister's friend|Novelist (24) One of my old favourites. I think it's one of the best BL from the 90s. Probably many works took inspiration from this later on, especially in regard to age-gap theme, so it's a story to read! To be honest, I don't like psycho ex-lovers still hanging around in an obsessive, stalkery way, trying to take back the person even with force, rape etc., so the whole drama with Ren's ex-lover Hirose was not exactly my type of thing. But overall the story was really good and engaging! Also, I'm weak when it comes to age gap / youth x adult, cohabitating due to certain circumstances and such, so I really enjoyed the interaction and the development of the relationship between Ren and Jouji! In the end, I was so glad to see them looking happy together! > Note: The title "Yume no Kodomo" is actually the title of one of the novels written by Ren. And that novel is Youji's favourite, but at the beginning he doesn't know that his favourite (female) author is actually Ren, whom he hates at first...Ahhh such fate!! > Vol. 2 ch. 4 - First Kiss. > Vol. 3 ch. 3 - They kiss again. > Vol. 4 ch. 6 - Drunk Ren gets more intimate with Youji till giving him a blowjob. > Vol. 5 ch. 2 - Getting intimate again without being drunk. > Vol. 5 ch. 5 - They do it for the first time together. > Vol. 6 ch. 4 - Youji topping for the first time. # Straight Uke x Bisexual Seme (Uke in previous relationship) // Seke // Reversible Couple // Love Confession // Slow Romance // Unexpected Feelings // Unrequited Love Becomes Requited Side Story: Tsuioku no Shounen (not scanlated) - mangaupdates.com / series.html?id=11528

(()) "People of the World" Theatrical Company's Actor Susami x High-school Student Hashiba (17), who then joins the company to substitute an injured actress in a play. > Involving also the company's chairman Oginome and his former lover Tomomi, who was also an actor in the company before, but then went over to another company called "Black", managed by Oginome's senpai Kuroda, who is the antagonist of the story and tries to sabotage "People of the World". In the end, thankfully Oginome and Tomomi come together again and it's a happy ending for them too! The very ending, although rushed, was fun and cute! Especially Susami's adlib in the play haha I loved Hashiba and Susami together!

High-school student Sato (17 turning 18) x Salaryman Hiroki (23) ≪✿✿≫ I really liked that, as the story went on, more of Hiroki's thoughts were revealed and we saw how he changed thanks to the love received by Sato. I especially liked the last chapter, where more details of their first encounters were revealed: I really appreciated that, because at the beginning I actually thought that the author skipped some parts that I wanted to see. But, after reading the whole story, I think that I liked it more this way! And I loved that parallelism of the train scene: we clearly saw how things changed and how they had grown from that third encounter (which was when their relationship truly began). Well, in the very end, I admit that I wanted something more, but overall I think that it's a really good story! > Note: The oneshot called Take A Deep Breath, included in vol. 2, is not scanlated.

Step-brothers // High-school Student (16) x Office Worker (25)

I feel sad when a story had potential, but it's only a short oneshot! And that's definitely the case with this story! This certainly leaves us with a bittersweet but realistic taste, but personally I'd have loved to venture into reading a dangerous forbidden love story, so I wish it was longer and that the youth pursued his feelings! After all, the beginning was great and the story could have gone on! Anyway, with that kind of ending, one could still think that maybe at some point he will go and confess to the priest, as, even after years passed, he still can't forget him...yeah, just let me think that! # Bittersweet // Unexpressed Feelings
