Kawaita Yoru no Machi wo Oyogu
1: Classic yaoi; uke forced into prostitution and the vindictive seme is the owner, getting revenge for his imagined slights -.- I hate it when ukes give into these a**holes. One * for you! 2: Two nobles from ancient Japan. Teasing seme (a bit of a jerk but still fine) and naive uke (a virgin too). I quite liked it. 4 stars! 3: Full of him self dog trainer seme and proud uke. Liked neither one. 2 stars. Overall: 2.5=3*
Master
the hotel owner drags uke around and no one inteferes
Kowarekake No Omocha
1: Toy and owner relationship involving poor uke who is the oldest son, basically selling himself (not necessarily in a sexual way only) to the rich young master in order to support his family. I don't like how the seme treats the uke, even at the end. Sigh. At least he says I love you. 3* 4: Teacher and ex student relationship blossoms after one night stand (drunken). It was all right, Nothing special. 3* 5: Summer love story that becomes something more. 3* because one's a minor and one's not. 6: Childhood misunderstandings. Awww! This one's my favourite! They should totes have shown dat seke action, doh (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Tamayura (yuki Ringo)
Tachibana is madly in love with his friend, the heir of a rich trader. They part and meet and part, nearly lose each other but never forget. I love that they didn't think it's too late, that's my favourite thing about this whole story. They waited for each other for so long, a decade, in two parts. A lifetime. There was never going to be another, not really, not for either one of them. I enjoyed it immensely. 5*
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.
Kayashimashi no Yuuga na Seikatsu
Telling your ex lover that he was much better in bed than your current one is bad enough. But to have him over hear and not have any repercussions... I'll be honest, the story makes me very angry. But, the situation is very believable, in the context of an unbalanced relationship. I really like the uke, so it's hard to vote this all the way down to 4. I'll give it 4.5. Sumito, is he ND coded? I feel like he *must* be, his reactions and thought processes don't really seem neuro-typical
