It feels like more of this story is waiting to be told, but it was very sweet and the art was beautiful. Those little sparrows were adorable.

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.

I love the story and movie of Daddy Long Legs, and can’t resist other authors making their own versions. This is the second yaoi with this theme I have stumbled upon. I liked the story between Aoi and the chancellor. Aoi was a beautiful boy with a case of hero worship for the benefactor who helped him after his parents died. They have a shared past that comes to light in the story, and when Aoi turns 16 he meets his ‘Daddy Long Legs’, the 29 year old chancellor. I enjoy their relationship, it’s a little turbulent with a busy business man and a teenager. Aoi has some insecurities and feelings of inadequacy to work through, but his lover is patient and understanding (as well as very possessive) and the two work through each problem to become a stronger couple. The ending is super sweet, looking at them when Aoi is a working adult still dealing with his wonderfully perverted and demanding seme.

Repeat After Me?

Complete | FUWA Shinri | 2000 released

Raised with traditional Japanese values, Yunosuke Shiga (26yo) is an intelligent and hardworking office worker for a prestigious trading company. The only thing holding him back from advancing (or indeed keeping his job) is his terrible English language skills. So, when corporate commands from above ordered him to, "Master English in 3 months or else!" Yunosuke found himself sent to the most prestigious foreign language institute in Japan, Shiratori Language Academy (SLA). A high-level institute not only famous for its strict and effective teaching, but also its abundance of gorgeous international elite teachers! His teacher, 23yo American Nigel Rhodes has the looks of an angel. But, his teaching methods for Yunosuke will prove to be demanding and devilish. Sparks fly between these two in their battle of wills. It’s really quite an adorable pairing, they fall hard for each other but they are both a bit clueless for a while. I liked the setting and the moments of cultural differences.
