Suteneko no Karute
1: I clearly need to give these 8.6 star stories way more credit 5* 2: Fuck you! I'm sitting at work on Saturday, crying buckets. The fuck is wrong with me. I need to get back to work. This was beautiful 5*
Osananajimi Irony
Really keen to know how it goes. Was he trying to tell him he was bi and had feelings for him the whole time? Note: cheating was on the part of ex girlfriend Edit: rating dropped like whoa? Dropped
No Love Zone Webtoon
I'm kinda really interested in this uke? He has such shitty taste in men and terrible luck, to boot. He's already lusting after the manager but has jumped to this crazy conclusion about the manager being head over heels for him. And he's such a diligent brother and grandchild, taking care of everyone like that. He's got so many dimensions. I like, tbh. Edit: ahhhhh!! This shotty semeeee!!! I can't wait for him to grovel, ahh, what a petty bitch. I really want the uke to not end up with him. But he will. How fucking frustrating
Retro BL
Chap 1: Good for nothing Saitou who is a struggling author without a penny to his name and no value of money and Mayuzumi who takes him in. Mayuzumi is in love with and has casual sex with the already married Saitou. 3.5* Chap 2: Aki and Yamato who share a dorm room, are boyfriends and can't keep their hands off each other 4* Chap 3: En is the lewd playboy apothecary and Tao is his assistant who has to put up with his sh*t. An aphrodisiac may get involved in the ensuing seduction. Sequel in tachi neko soudatsu 3.5* Chap 4: Fucked up beyond repair love triangle between non-blood related siblings, Kyokou and Haru and Shinobu, Kyouko's husband. The fact that he doesn't remember the sex gives me rape vibes. 2* Chap 5: Very short and bitter oneshot about snow that melts in the face of a long spring. Supernatural. 4* Chap 6: Maki, who's never lost a fight and Sugawa who was a leader in his peer group in his younger days but got overshadowed over the years and cannot stand losing to anyone. Not normally my kinda story but I can't help but enjoy how crazy Maki is about Sugawa, accepting him, complexes and all. 4.2* Chapter 7: Micchan, who was battling crippling depression and lost, and Jun who couldn't let him go. Uber dpressing. Jun never realised how serious Micchan's suicidal talk was and it warped him forever 2.5* Chap 8: Akashi, the servant and the chained Guardian Deity he was brought by force to service. Akashi is a pure little cinnamon bun. Glad the Guardian was gentle with him. The household can rot. Hypocrites. 5* Overall: 3.6*
Kainarasu Hazuga Aegasarete Komattemasu
Translators threatened with legal action Edit: Someone found a way! Anyway. Akira, after being traumatised by a cheating longterm boyfriend in the past, only has one night stands, and only sleeps with a person once, but he decides to take on Seo, after Seo begs him to teach him the ups and downs of sex after the initial night when Akira took his virginity. I enjoyed it. Especially the appropriate reaction to Seo not understanding that no means no. On the part of both parties. Both treated it with extreme seriousness and Seo had to work his way back into Akira's trust circle and even had thought himself irredeemable. Even though it was heavy petting and kissing. Secondly, Tsuda, even though concerned about Akira, turned out to be the best kind of nosy friend who knew exactly what Akira needed. We need more side characters like him. Wouldn't mind seeing one where he's the mc, either. I love that Akira went chasing after him. He should have, since he's the one who broke it off (and Seo's heart, too) 5*, easy
Lion Heart
Simple, hot, relatively less problematic. Not really engaging either. 4.4 Edit: WTF, no, this is gold! So hot and so healthy! ~Ahhh. I love this for them! 5!
Koufuku wa Kimi no Tonari ni
1: Satoru who gets left behind at the alter is comforted by his long time friend Daichi. But does Daichi, who happily feeds him and looks after him, only have friendship in his heart? I like that Satoru was hard working. And that he cared so much for Daichi. I don't like that mangaka gave him a general air of incompetence for no apparent reason. Daichi is obviously wonderful, between his unwavering feelings and gentle nature. 4.6 3: Kanata's nextdoor neighbour Hayato is a carefree person who spends his money at the slot machines and brothels. Useless as he is, he doesn't seem to realise Hayato's feelings at all. But one day, he asks Hayato to help him scratch a certain itch. Kinda have to agree with Chika here. I don't get why Hayato is into him. And even though he does try to improve himself, not only do we not see the final results, Hayato actually dissuades him from trying!! Also, asking a high schooler to help you masturbate because you're too broke to go to the brothel? Ewww. And then still not realising Hayato's feelings after everything! Next! 3.4 4: Ryo runs into Min having sex with his sex friend at school, only to learn afterwards how badly Min is being treated. Ryo resolves to become Min's friend and keep him from getting hurt, only to find himself developing more than friendly feelings for Min Mins was sweet and all, but I think Ryo is such a wonderful character. I love how he had no ulterior motives, not even curiosity. He genuinely just wanted to be Min's friend and protect him from assholes like Min's old sex friend. I also really like that Min didn't comment on certain aspects of Ryo's physiology negatively, instead telling him he's beautiful. It was very heartwarming. Would have liked to read more. Much more. 4.8 5: The new hire Shiba is just Nagaoka's type. But he's unfortunately straight. Nagaoka resolves himself to dealing with his feelings quietly but and unexpected situation presents itself during the company hot spring inn trip. 4.4 They're obviously great together and both very likable too. But the sex was too vanilla and disappointing. Even with that shaving scene, which should have been smoking hot, by all counts. Overall: one miss and several mildly good to extremely good ones. 4.3
Hitsuji no Kawa wo Kita Kemono
Sweeta and innocent Daichi unwittingly falls for his sister's two-faced fiance. Tatsumi is scumbag. End of. It was so interesting, and I enjoyedthe plot. But he's still scum. Daichi is some saint or something. I don't see how they could ever work, were his sister to find out. Gosh. Poor baby. I just want him to be happy. 4.5
