Itoshi Koishi Kimi dake ni
Talented author, made the most of short stories, these were adorable
Seishun Runaway
A real slice of life with interconnected characters and a couple of romances. Worth a read.
Introduction to the Theory of Love
A cute and simple little story fully coloured and worth a read.
ichigenme
A really well written storyline following the lives of these men over years of their lives studying and moving into their respective careers. With complex characters this story was more realistic than many yaoi, and definitely fit the ‘slice of life’ genre amazingly. I loved the creativity and care taken with many of the sexy scenes too, they really added to the whole story. Only one critique from me was the ‘same face syndrome’ which was a little disconcerting at times. But it’s easy enough to ignore as the rest keeps you invested.
Kissing
Super sweet story of childhood friends falling for each other. Haru and Kazushi had some tough moments to deal with after Kazushi confessed his real feelings for the little uke. Haru struggled to deal with the new way to look at his friend, but as he faced his own tangled emotions he started to see facets of Kazushi he had been oblivious to and started to realise just how special he was. But changes are on the horizon as the young men graduate from college and face moving in very different directions. Is it too late for Haru to tell Kazushi how he really feels now that he understands that he didn’t hate those kisses after all?
Mobile Sweet Honey
Sweetly romantic, with lots of blushing faces and flustered guys falling in love on a college campus. Just adorable
Mayoke no Darling
The sweetest pair, so fluffy and adorable!
Sick
Lots of negative comments on this, but I loved the selfish, golden boy seme and how he bulldozed right through Kishi’s social barriers. Sudou was possessive over Kishi, I loved that too. I didn’t find the “can I rape you” moment offensive as the consent was evident and established clearly. To me he was showing the force of his desire to dominate his little uke, and that was hot a.f. I liked that Sudou pushed boundaries and that he bought out self confidence in Kishi. Read this if you like your seme to be dominant, possessive and self confident. Avoid if the mention of rape, even in a consensual encounter, is a trigger.
Hearty
A sweet story about trust and love, full of fluffy feelings. I would have liked to know what made the seme such a habitual liar, but at least the uke was skilled at seeing through the manipulative side of the seme.
