Love Life

Complete | yamato nase | 2001 released

A very sweet little story in that true ‘slice of life’ style. Fresh from school in the country and newly independent in the big city, the uke in this story is adorably clueless about so many aspects of adult life. Despite this, he has an admirable core of determination and strives so hard. I found it sad because his parents recently died, his sister married and moved away, and he had no phone or way to keep in contact with her or any of his old friends. He really was like an abandoned puppy and there is no place like the city to really feel alone. But this guy persisted, got a job and caught the attention of his good looking and surprisingly protective neighbour. What followed was a sweet story of new feelings, confusion, misunderstandings and love.

Ashita Wa Joutenki

Complete | Yamakami Riyu | 1999 released

A sweet, lighthearted story with a quirky seme with a talent for role play and his neighbour who brings a touch of caring stability. They are an odd couple but they seem to be good for each other and it’s a pleasant story to read.

I Don't Dislike You

Complete | sakuraga mei | 2008 released

One of my favourites in the series this story covers the secret childhood relationship between the cold disciplinarian student council VP, Yukimura and his laid back blackmailing neighbour, Shinonome. It seems that Shinonome has fallen for his senpai next door and is ready to blackmail, tease, and tear down the facade that Yuki chan hides behind in order to win his affections. Opposites attract but these guys are more alike than you would initially think and the prickly Yukimura is no pushover.

Koi ja nai kedo

Complete | SAKURAGA Mei | 2000 released

Shinonime is wonderfully persistent and for a delinquent, surprisingly mellow. He is perfect for the prickly Yukimura and this follow up to their story was great to read. I enjoyed seeing Shinonime’s protective side.

Kare Ja Nai Kedo

So cute. Shinonome is good for Yukimura, I love how he understands him so well and pushes his boundaries. If Yuki really had a partner like he selected in the last chapter he would be unbearable..
