Shigekikei my Hero
A tall, lean young action film star and a strong, muscular stuntman pair up in this sexy and sweet story. Minase has long been an avid fan of the older stuntman Imagi-san and pursues a friendship on set. He is in for a surprise though when he follows him to a gay bar and discovers that his idol is a confident man eater who is happy to set his own terms for being friends. What follows is a great story with beautifully drawn art and sculpted men, all uncensored too. I loved it.
Gohoubi wa Shitsuke no Ato
A hot and sexy story laced with a hefty dose of the adorable. In this manga, the uke is the older man Minoru-san who helped raise Fuutarou after he was abandoned by his parents. Minoru is very protective and has an intimidating presence, but Fuutarou has experienced his kindness for years and has fallen in love with the older man. However, Fuutarou would never jeopardise his relationship with Minaru-san by revealing his lust filled fantasies. At least not intentionally. Not at first anyway.
Coming
A hot little oneshot exploring sexuality when a long time closeted gay man meets a younger seme on a hook up site. I prefer more romance in a story, but I can appreciate this for the sexy punch it gives.
Come Over
This was a lovely sequel to the first sexy meeting set up in the prequel, ‘Coming’. This oneshot is even better than the first as these two are starting to have feelings for each other beyond sex.
Shucchou Host Nyu Boy
This was crazy brilliant. The mangaka created a story that had me in tears of laughter in one chapter and tears of empathy in the next. The characters had so much depth and their motivations felt so genuine. The plot was new and fresh and the art style was a tribute to true talent. I love, love, love the MCs! They have been staying in my memory and thoughts when I am not reading and I was in the dilemma of wanting to finish to see how it ended and wanting to savour each page. Highly recommended read.
Shouta, Kimi wo Aishiteru
I totally enjoyed all 3 stories in this manga. The first story was with Shouta and Josh, an interracial love story between 2 strangers that bump into each other and are instantly drawn to the other. Shouta was very cute and expressive; Josh was super sexy (that scene where he knelt on the bed in his jeans taking off his shirt was 10/10 hot), a little pushy but sweet. The second story between ex delinquent and now baker, Kazuki and his kouhai Teppei was my favourite (only just, over the 1st story..I have a soft spot for reformed delinquents who keep a dangerous edge). There were some ridiculously sexy, hot scenes in this story as well as some LOL moments. The final story was my least favourite but still cute with coworkers in a long time secret relationship, a uke with puppy like characteristics and a seme who is the younger kouhai.
Snail: Conqueror of Earth
Phew! This was some sexy smut. It gets right into the uncensored action and has constant 3 ways even with DP. The story is unusual, with planet conquering snails who turn into men that constantly seek to impregnate their master. There is affection but really, it’s all about the sexy action.
Yupiteru ni Onegai
Is this a Shota? The seme is in college and the ukes just a little younger than him still in HS. The mangaka has an art style of innocent youthful faces, even with her adults which is rather pretty. Well, for me, these childhood neighbours and best friends are a sweet trio who love each other and want a future together. The centre of the group is the older seme who got the shock of his life when he woke to see his friends kissing and calling his name. Moving a story into a threesome yet keeping a sweetness about it (despite the 3some sex scenes) is a challenge this mangaka met. Overall the story was sweet, but I did not truly connect with the characters though I am not sure why. Perhaps I simply prefer my perverts to look more grown up.
Hatsukoi Counter Attack
I am glad it wasn’t just me who had trouble making sense of this story. Idk if it was the translation or the story itself but this story was disjointed and often just like reading random English words put together. Idk why the seme bothered following the uke to this school, he seemed to have zero care or respect for him. If he lost that respect simply because the uke was short and a bit of an airhead at times then he stinks for not finding that adorable. Idk why the uke suddenly liked the seme...that made no sense as there was no connection. Wth was the thing about red boots? It randomly popped up a few times for no reason.. The uke is about to graduate? There was no talk of a future between the boys.. Trust me, so many other things made no sense. I can’t be bothered doing a re read to find the answers, maybe this is better on a second read? I am gonna pass. The art was cute but I can look at nice art with a coherent story and have a much better experience than trying this again. Apologies to the mangaka, I know these works mean a lot of time and effort. I wish I did like it more, the concept sounded interesting.
