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
Onegai Sonnnani Kamanaide
Yanagi is a plain faced simple guy who dyed his hair for his university debut, with little impact. Igarashi is his popular and unpredictable senpai at work, who offers to pierce his ears to give Yanagi and edgier look. This was so surprising. The uke has an actual backbone and requires the seme to do some serious groveling. Seme reaaally improves later on and he's so damn into him, that it's honestly hard to hate that kinda intense sincerity. I really, thoroughly enjoyed it. And the sex was off the charts hot. Absolutely 5*
Punch Drunk Love
I love it. I hate it. It's so damn good. It's too damn frustrating. I am hooked. 5 Edit: I actually cried from how wholesome this is. Actual tears. Fucking pulled on my heartstrings. It's so good! They're so good together. I'm not even worried about all the plotting behind their back, tbh. They'll overcome it all. I just know it. Also, can I just say, this is one of the best resolutions to a misunderstanding I have seen so far in bl. No bullshit, no angst, no accusations. Just the truth. 5/5 Ch 57
Gochisousama ga Kikoenai!
Please don't have too much angst, please resolve it soon
Bad Plan
I really can't take this. Ahhh. The misunderstandings. The angst. The sexual tension. The SEX!! Moreee!? Edit: Yes, he heard you, jerkoff! You better be ready to grovel like nobody's business. Some semes, I swear Edit: That was too easy?? The seme was of course regretful (they always are, when it's too late), but Hwirim just forgave him in one night?? Like?? Make him suffer at least, if you insist on taking him back. Jeez! Ch 55
Silky Secrets
24 Jikan Ochi nai Kiss
Ryo fucks his frustrating yet strangely endearing supervisor one drunken night, and it becomes a thing. Little consent was involved at first. But Tokura warms up to him, in more ways than one. Hmm... so much to unpack here. First and foremost, this is one of the few yaois that make you feel like you're living the story, meticulously drawing the readers into the details of the plot, the backgrounds and back stories. Second, consent is important, guys, come the fuck on. Third, love the way their relationship evolved, loved their dynamics, very very hot juxtapositions of, er, positions. Hot sex scenes, overall. And I'm glad Tokura grew so much as a person, over the years. I would not have liked him then. One thing I did not like was how Shouno was determined to hate Tokura. You have to be reasonable, man. Still, enjoyed it a lot. The uke being so well respected by his staff (not counting Shouno) and the way the mangaka kept introducing twists with the makeup definitely gave this an endge over other office romance yaois. But it should have been a little longer. The wrap up was great, but I still need filler fluff episodes. 5
An egocentric way of thinking
The art! The UST! The characters!! 5/5 Edit: How is it this steamy when nothing has even happened?! Edit: I don't know where this is going... Ch 18
