A good story about opposites who get off to a bad start.

Tsumaranai Otoko

Complete | yamamoto kotetsuko | 2007 released

Yamamoto Kotetsuko is so talented, I am amazed that there were so many feelings elicited in me from a handful of short stories. I usually avoid one shots because so many fail to have me caring about the MCs. I got teary over the rape story, not just for the uke’s horrific experience but for the seme’s reaction. I am often awestruck by the beautiful, expressive faces the author draws, I love their work and can highly recommend this manga.

I enjoyed this story, all the brothers were adorable in their own ways. I don’t want to give spoilers coz there were some twists in there, just saying it was a good read will do for me ^.^

Geshuku Biyori

This group of residents gave off such a lovely feeling of family and were each interesting in their own right. The MCs were the adorable icing on this cake.

Kiss Blue

Complete | Kinoshita Keiko | 2006 released

A love story of friends to lovers. The thing is, the seme was such a womanising playboy that even with a happy ending the uke will never be comfortable trusting his lover. Understandable given his history of two and even three timing on his girlfriends. Idk, I find that rather sad. I kind of liked the flirty manager more, he had a kindness to him that was appealing under that flirty exterior. I was sad to see he had his own unrequited love story and impressed with his maturity in dealing with the guy he loved (like making sure he prioritised his family and not drinking around him to avoid any “blame it on the alcohol” moments).

An enjoyable collection, not all bl but still interesting.

Close the Last Door

Complete | YAMADA Yugi | 2001 released

One of the best manga ever! Honda and Nagai are soo adorable, I think they work together much more than Saitou and Nagai would. They have the intensity and sexual chemistry plus the ability to be their true selves with each other that makes them so perfectly imperfect a pair. I thought at first that Saitou is someone seen through rose tinted glasses as cute and helpless so there was no real depth to transition to lovers with Nagai. That was until he got his strongest seme title, tied Nagai up and mischievously meddled in the other couples romance. He definitely deserves his own romance, just not with Nagai. Anyway, awesome story. Plenty of laughs and loving. One to re-read many times.

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.
