Living With Him
list - masterlist, cotton candy, seme first last extras - cuddling and kisses? This was so warm and sweet and wholesome and just everything good in the world. Purest pure happiness! Both of them are such good people, no sex at all so can’t assume who was the seme except by stereotypical classifications. Seme was such a good person, genuinely so respectful and amazing. Uke was also a good person, and very considerate of the seme’s feelings. There wasn’t a lot of awkwardness, just a lovely progression of feelings with real thoughtfulness and it was easy to see why they developed feelings for each other. I genuinely loved this, it made me so warm and was so sweet. Even if it didn’t show a lot of moments, they were very comfortable with each other and their affection for each other was very clear. 5/5
Love History Caused by Willful Negligence
list - new stalled at 17: interesting plot so I'm going to have to wait till it's complete bc it can be confusing to remember what happened and the scan team has kind of slow updates. art is gorgeous, characters are interesting. Seme is an asshole who pretends to be the perfect prince on the outside but is a manipulative and selfish guy on the inside who doesn't care about anything. Kind of a sociopath? Or a sadist. But only his manager team knows. He likes to make his personal managers quit by manipulating them into thinking they're not good enough and mess up to much while acting very sweet to them. Cunning type of asshole but very hot. Uke is a cutie who is out to get revenge, but is naturally very good hearted and a bit clumsy. Competent at his job and naturally works hard and tries his best. He used to be sickly and had a heart operation which ties into his best friend from the past and the reason for his now revenge plan against the seme. But he seems to be too kind hearted to go through with anything. Update: skipped around to chapter 60 and it seems nothing has improved, in fact it’s gotten worse. He’s added sexual assault to the list now and is holding him hostage. Uke’s motives still make no sense to me and he’s pretty pathetic. Art is gorgeous but this story is just ridiculous and not in a funny way.

It was cute lol! Odd concept with the balloon that shows feelings, and a gap moe seme who looks scary but is actually sweet. Uke is the nice prince type and former actor. Seme was a long time fan and fell in love with him when they were children. He kind of has stalker tendencies since he was a fan for so long, but uke doesn't seem to mind. The attempted suicide bc the uke was avoiding him was kind of out of the blue and dark, but I think it was meant as more of a joke bit? Was still odd and in poor taste, but I think it leaned more on the seme's fan obsessiveness.
We'll Get Our Happy Ending
Interesting and different with a more realistic story style but maaaan was it frustrating. Both Soma and Wataru are kind of getting over their feelings for their ex-boyfriends and strike up a friendship that turns into a kind of friends with benefits situation. All the frustrating vagueness of a situation ship with a heavy dose of selfish nonchalance from the top Soma, and a painful semi-unrequited love insecurity from the bottom Wataru. Being in love with someone who is still in love with their ex while being intimate with them?? Sounds like hell. They were fairly honest about their unresolved feelings for their exes and kind of refreshingly talked about them quite openly. But that refreshing realism turned dour at the end with the continued vagueness and halfhearted resolution. Soma didn’t do nearly enough to reassure Wataru of his feelings, even I could hardly gauge his true feelings so I’m sure Wataru would be lost. And the last chapter was a dick move inviting his ex to the celebratory dinner, even if they did get along and it ended on happy note. They are very affectionate and touchy and clingy, and had potential to be so cute if they just resolved things properly and showed Soma being a good boyfriend!! Pissed me off and this is one where I’d have loved to see some groveling to at least Soma acknowledging Wataru’s insecurity and his own faults in creating that insecurity and doing his best to reassure him. I’m not fully convinced of his sincerity.

Agree with previous tags, definitely wanted it to be a bit longer! I wanted to see more of their couple selves and Yaku's progression to being just as madly in love with Hino as Hino is with Yaku. He did say he loves him in the end, but it felt like just the beginning stages of his feelings, I need to see him head over heels. Lots of unrequited love and heartache in this, and it was like a love square or ->->->-> type situation. Hino's innocent and outgoing personality was so cute, I get why all the girls doted and protected him lol. And Yaku getting the brunt of it from everyone every time they fight is so funny, I'd love to see more extras of their relationship. I feel for Asano too, what he did to Yaku was bad and he's definitely hurt and cynical and lashing out at the younger couple. I wanted to see Yaku more happily affected by the confession that Hino's always been in love with him, but it came at such a bitter type of moment. I need to see him a puddle bc of Hino's cuteness like the rest of us! Give me more doting Yaku x spoiled Hino please even if they're not used to it.

list - wip, smut fluff Uncensored but no real smut till the last few chapters Aww this was cute as I remember. They blush SO MUCH and their interactions were cute yet comfortable bc of the childhood friends thing, a natural chemistry. Uke is a bit of a tsundere but not that shy about what he wants. Seme is the big brother type and kind of clueless in love, but doting and cutely blushes a lot as well. The heart rash was a convenient and cute idea. Really liked the second couple too even if they only had a chapter. The puppy seme and beautiful cat uke who had been hurt in the past, one of my favorite tropes.

list - It was cute and funny. Both are complete idiots and very much in love with each other lol. Tough uke and sweet seme. Uke is a tough guy who is openly gay, but because he's so manly he has a hard time getting partners since he's a bottom. He's been in an unrequited love with his friend who he thinks is straight, and he he always ends up falling for straight guys. But when he breaks up with his boyfriends, he goes to the seme and they have sex, but they insist they are friends and don't have feelings and are just doing it to relieve sexual tension and console him. But in reality the seme has also been in love with the uke this whole time and has been pretending to be straight bc Keita says that's his type. So they were both in love with each other the whole time, but thought the other wasn't interested and only wanted to be friends, so ended up as sex friends while pretending and hiding their real feelings all along. Complete and total idiots, but at least they realize in the end and get their happy ending! It was hilarious and smutty and fun and entertaining. Even though they are incredibly dumb, it was more just fun to watch them and not really annoying or frustrating at all. 4.5/5
