Meikon
Surprisingly I enjoyed this manga, despite the rape in the beginning. As the story unfolds and the supernatural elements come to light, the mangaka reveals why the seme used force and such obsessive means to bind the uke into a relationship with him. Also, by that time, the seme had ample opportunity to show his more common traits of caring, love and support to win the heart of the one he loves.
Kuroneko wa Shippo de Amaeru
Neighbours Kazuya and Sakaguchi-san spend afternoons together after the younger Kazuya finds a kitten he is unable to keep. Sakaguchi volunteers to look after the kitten for his shy neighbour and the two vastly different men fall for each other as they spend time together. There was nothing ground shaking with this plot but it was still a sweet story with some beautiful artwork and likeable characters.
Ai no DNA
Trigger Warning: Incest (Brother x Brother) This was an interesting premise. Brothers born years apart but on the same day and time, raised apart by divorced parents, are reunited when their parents reconcile. As the tensions of reunion are being managed the brothers become aware that their astrological twinship has given them an unusual bond. One shares their feelings of pain, the other pleasure. There was some strong emotional connection between the MCs and a sweetness that both wanted a lovers love to be voiced and shared.
Kimi Nakute
Young vocalist Kathleen had dreamt of being a classical opera singer until the day an accident killed her parents and left her legs badly damaged. But Sister Cecily has other ideas and she auditions Kathleen before the famous stage composer Morgan Llewellyn. Arrogant and blunt spoken, ‘Black’ Morgan has a devils reputation and despite his initial harsh rejection he takes Kathleen under his wing determined to write her the perfect song. The story was good, though perhaps a little fast paced. Romantic and sweet overall.
Princess no Shitsuren
Sweetly romantic story with this couple alone in a cabin and sleeping under the stars. I think that one of the things I liked most was that they bought joy to each other. There were problems in their lives, but together there was happiness.
Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji
This was a wonderful story! Erika had such a sunny, outgoing disposition and Sata Kyouya was the epitome of a Black Prince with his ikeman looks and rather sadistic personality. But even when he seemed mean, Erika was very aware of the kinder guy beneath the mask. I liked that they were their authentic selves almost from the very beginning. I loved their friendship group and all the things they faced together over the years. Erika and Sata Kyouya we’re impossible to resist. One of the best shoujo I have read.
