I could happily continue reading about these two.
Risou No Koibito
These two were different from fluffy, easy to love characters. Yoshimi was a bit of a sadist who liked discipline play but he loved and was very vulnerable towards Riku. Riku was quiet, with masochistic tendencies who thrived under Yoshimi’s controlling love play. I found them interesting, but I wished Riku admitted his feelings of love a bit more. It was always sweet to see how Yoshimi melted at that.
24 Jikan Ochi nai Kiss
Good storyline with some very nice artwork. Demanding section boss, older, straight, player gets topped by his quiet designer after an after work party. Dub con start with love following. MCs are total opposites re their personalities but they make a good match as they deal with becoming partners who work together in an office full of interested gossips. A fun, entertaining story.
Charming Scarface
Trigger Warning: Rape For a story with rape and some hot sexy scenes, this was incredibly wholesome. I think it was simply because Yuma (bigger, older uke) was so childlike, naive and innocent. Shizuya (shorter, young seme) was the younger neighbor across the street who was doted on by Yuma from the time he was born. As Shizuya grew up he seemed to idolise the gentle and cheerful Yuma and somewhere along the way that turned into something that included sexual desire. When the smaller and younger Shizuya forced himself sexually on Yuma it was really sad. Shizuya handled the whole situation poorly and the confusion felt by Yuma was clearly portrayed. It served plot purpose though, in clearly establishing that Yuma had never looked at Shizuya in a sexual manner. I liked how the author made the MCs face their problems head on to progress, right up to being honest with the mom when they became a couple. And I especially liked Yuma’s gentle and innocently childlike nature.
