I loved this! I loved both stories; the younger seme’s, the vastly different personalities of the older ukes, the fact that these younger guys made strong, dominant, yet caring lovers, and of course the beautiful art style of the mangaka.

Sweet slice of this couple’s life together that leaves you smiling. I loved the “he’s so cute!” moment in the beginning, that was so innocently adorable. The ending felt like there was room for more but even without, you know these two will continue being so good for each other.

Another great story from Naono Bohra with this unlikely couple being just perfect together. I loved the combination of the older uke with the sculpted and masculine face and body, and the younger, somewhat predatory seme.

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.

A tsundere seme makes the most of a high school reunion to declare his love for the man he has thought of for 8 years. It’s just a shame the competitive uke was too drunk to recall. A sweet story of misconceptions and attraction between two adorable guys.

Three stories. The main and longest story was of the owner of a construction business and the elite salaryman who was appointed to oversee his newest project. Personally I really liked this. The seme was a real “mans man” in a more traditional way than we usually see in yaoi. He was rough around the edges, loud, muscled and frequented hostess clubs with the boys from work. He was also kind hearted and cared about his employees. The uke was a quiet, professional and rather cool guy who held himself apart from others. Oh and he was a 28 year old virgin. Once the seme was aware of that little tidbit was where their fun really began. I loved the seme for being such a guy. He was so normal and relatable, and I loved that he was a bit of a romantic at heart. The second story, ‘One Sided Love Triangle’ was very short. It was about 3 childhood companions and was an interesting idea of loving someone who was in love with someone else. It just finished too early to be a good story. There was potential for a love story but it cliffhangered. The last story...I suppose on a fantasy level it was a hot story about being molested by an unknown stranger. But overall it was creepy because the guy who did it apparently has molested many others too and that is a whopping thumbs down. There are kinky sexual deviants that can be hot and fun. And then there is this serial groper/molester/rapist who is just bleh. All my points are for the first story. I won’t ever re read the others.

Saenai Oji-san to Ore-sama Yankee-kun

Story is complete. Such an adorable story, so different to most manga you find. -Hirata Yoshio: 41yo office worker. Megane. Kind and sweet natured, happy to let Subaru push him around. Can be surprisingly dominant in bed. -Midou Subaru: 21yo dangerous yankee type. Bossy, selfish at times, loud temper when embarrassed or flustered by the old man, Yoshio. Straightforward and bluntly honest. Subaru-kun a vulnerable side that soaks up affection and any traces of his sweet nature are reserved for Yoshio. Opposites attract with this adorable pair. I loved Subaru-kun so much especially when his softer side peeked through at the mercy of Yoshio’s sweetness. A favourite

A sweet little moment in time between the 49yo manager and the 30yo colleague he is dating.
