Hidoi Otoko (MINASE Masara)
1-90: Immature brat of a seme, who is in uni, but doesn't act his age 3* 90-118: Part timer and bar owner 4*
Nande Sonna Ni Kawaii No
1: Ryu is the young master of a family that owns a famous Japanese style inn and Hinata is his childhood friend who lives and attends high school with him. Ryu has always been in love with Hina but he is convinced that Hinata only has eyes for Ryu's older brother, Tsubame, who suddenly ran away from home. 4* 2) The story of Ryu's brother Tsubame, who was a filial and responsible son, but would sometimes get frustrated by all the expectations placed upon him. Atori, a regular customer at the inn, becomes his refuge. 5* 3) Masaomi, who also attends school with the gang, has been in an unrequited love with Maya, who runs a cafe. Maya himself is in an unrequited love with an old classmate and Masaomi is doesn't believe he has much of a chance. 4*
Koi to wa Baka de Aru Koto da
1: The college student and the 30 year old virgin bartender who's afraid his virginity will be a turn off (yeah, right! Not in yaoi world, pal.) 4* 2: Childhood *friends*. Not really. Hardly a symbiotic relationship. The bullied falls in love with the bully who is horrid to the bitter end. 3* 3: Ex-delinquent who masquerades as a good boy to suit his crush's tastes gets found out. It was good, but the seme wasn't very likable and the uke stopped trying to better himself too :/ 4*
Omoisugoshi Mo Koi No Uchi
1: Adorable uncle *thought* he was supporting his supposedly gay nephew and goes to a gay bar to find a friend he can discuss such matters with. Guess who turned out to like guys after all? 4: Yoshinari sleeps withe promiscuous Akio, only to realise it affected Akio way more than he thought. 5: Strange voyeuristic high school love story. I never figured out what he desired the most. Was it the guy doing him? The guy watching? Being watched? 6: Sister's old uni classmate imprisons Akira in a house for three days. But he's not trying to do him. Or hurt him. It's the other way round. Masochist edition... Also there is a 2 page random oneshot I know nothing about. 8: Terribly sad story about falling in love with someone who's taken and realising it so late into the game. Would not re-read. Unsatisfactory ending. Open. 9: Extra for the 4
2-dome no Koi no Hajimari wa
1: Kousaka gets outed by his vicious ex but Matsuoka, his co-worker from the restaurant, ends up asking him out because of it. 5* 80: Previously gloomy Mio returns six months after high school graduation, with a more happy go lucky attitude, to pursue his old love, Ryoutarou. 4* 126: You cut off all contact with his friend Shinji because he could not bear his unrequited feelings of love anymore. However, hope comes in the form of a fated meeting, three years later. 4* I actually really loved them all. But some of them were too short to be substantial.
Koi no Hajime
Why??? Why are all the mains so likable? They were all very nice characters. Showed so much depth in so few pages, the first seme (?) and the second and last ukes. 1: Rich young master starts working part time but he's super honest with not a single proud bone in his body 4 * 2: Butler who looked after rich young master all his life is now at a loss since he has moved out 3*, but only because I was so mad at his dad for restricting him that much. And not even because of concern over him, but rather because he wasn't performing his job well enough. Shame on you, dad! 3: Social recluse and old childhood friend who never lost touch start living close to each other again. 4* because tooooo short! But very heart warming, though.
Yakuza-sama no Omocha
Yakuza takes over the debt of an orphan who was tricked by his friend. Mains were likable enough. Couldn't read past Chapter 4, fucking disgusting, the way he had him gang raped over this stupid rivalry, qhat a fucking psycho. Hate the way this is getting trivialized. Just kill the fucker already. Scrolled through the remaining pages, all he gets is a slap. Fucking done. 2
