My Little Vampire

Interesting world concepts with vamps and humans side by side openly. The uke was self confessed sluttish, but he was single and grieving a lost love, so meaningless sex was a non issue. It would have been nice to have given the vampire a longer childhood with a loving adult, but that would have been a different story. I liked that they fell for each other, and I liked the choice not to turn the uke. A 1% chance to survive doesn’t sound very loving to me

We Immediately Swing at Foul Balls

Complete | Fumiko shuusai | 2019 released

A collection of interconnected stories with quirky characters, none of them being in any way perfect or even perfect for each other. Don’t be fooled though, these guys are perfectly imperfect, and that’s just perfect!

Good reads. The first story had a very fit seme and a pretty faced uke who was being picked on by several guys. Coming to his rescue became common, and the two MCs became physically close but were there any strong feelings to keep them together? The second had a young boy falling for the older guy who used to visit his sister all the time. I just don’t understand why he would, tbh. Still, they end up together and are happy.

Sora To Hara

Complete | Nakamura Asumiko | 2009 released

Awesome! I was so happy to see Hara-sen find his special guy and loved the lanky guy who just wanted his sensei to be happy. It was also great to see the guys from Doukyuusei cross over here, they are a special pair to me.

Ashita No Kimi Wa Koko Ni Inai

Complete | Sakiya Haruhi,Yamamoto Kotetsuko | 2006 released

It was difficult to read this early on as sensei was so emotionally detached that I could only wonder why Mio persisted; in love or not. But once sensei talked of his reasons for keeping his distance and Mio convinced him of the lasting nature of his feelings, it became lovely and sweet and full of good feelings.

Seinen 14 Sai

Complete | Yamada Yugi | 2000 released

So many wonderful stories and beautiful BL. Yamada Yugi has a talent at story telling and creating funny scenes and dialogue. The sad story at the end had me in tears, but there was sweetness in that too. Recommended.

Neko no Koi

Complete | shimaji | 2009 released

Two good stories to read, though I prefer the first one for their long lasting care of each other. The thing that bothered me with Ryo and his uncle was how he forced himself on his drunk uncle and even at the end, seemed to not care about hurting him (and the uncle was definitely not a masochist). At the very least there was a degree of dubious consent which is something I am never a fan of.

Papa I Love You

Complete | mishima kazuhiko | 2008 released

So lovely. A fast paced story with an unconventional love, but it works. Adorable pictures too, right down to the little bunny on Aki’s boots. One I have read a few times now and will read again. The second story was not as good but it had some nicely intense passion overtaking moments and was a nice,short read with an older man at prep school and his younger sensei.

Miwaku No Ringo

Complete | Mishima Kazuhiko | 2007 released

Loved this story! Not only were the MCs wonderful, but the friendship (and rival) group were wonderful too. Their interactions with each other, the support for a friend in love with a guy and the way they stalked and peered around corners all the time was adorable.

Oyaji Hiroimashita

Complete | Mishima Kazuhiko | 2005 released

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.
