just_m3h's manga / #one night stand(26)

Hmm. Honestly, Kei definitely blackmailed him into sex. There's no going around it. Just because they met on a gay hookup app does not mean Shoichi is down for it everytime. His 'no' is still no. Sure, Shoichi wasn't really being pressured with anything concrete but a rumour, but it's not right, there's no gray area. Kei... he tries so hard to redeem himself afterwards. Apologises, stands up for him, does so much for him, doesn't get cowed in the face of his insecurities, fights tooth and nail for him, fucking marries him. But it is what it is. Kei metamorphoses into one of the best semes I have ever read (so goddamn tender, the way he gently bosses him around and calls him a 'good boy' during sex, I could melt) but this will always be how it started. That makes me so sad, honestly. 4.4 Extra is about Kei's nephew and the loud kid from kindergarten. Unexpected uke, for sure!! Would have been cute, why did the author go the step sibling route and not the childhood friends route?? 4.2

The cynical and jaded Narihira gets by with one night stands and hides his werewolf heritage, never wanting to be called a monster. Unfortunately for him, his ears suddenly come out during sex with the hot guy (Totake) he picked up and the guy fall off the bed in shock?? I love how the cynical and jaded Narihira turns to putty in Totake's gentle hands. What excellent redemption! And such chemistry, too! Loved the sex and loved their interactions. And especially loved that, for a relationship that started with a failed one night stand, they spent so many days getting to know each other and just being with each other before taking that step forward. Wish it was much, much longer. 5*

Story about Nanase, a botanist who cannot stand the smell of men due to his past trauma and Kei, who becomes enamoured with him and ends up saving Nanase from himself and his memories. That ex really thought he was saving him, huh. I don't know why on earth he couldn't just talk to the guy instead of fucking getting him gang r*ped, what the actual fucking fuck?? I quite liked Nanase, and loved him coming out of his shell and becoming more forward with Kei. Kei is truly such a wonderful and kind seme, super perceptive too, which is a huge plus. He should have beaten the ex up more and he shouldn't hang out with Minato (the ex) either. His actions were fubar and he should suffer forever. 4.8

Wow. Wowowowowow. So, so into this. The atmosphere and feel of this new and budding romance between Kudou, the awkward office worker and Satou, the mechanic who seduces him, is seeped in eroticism and something magical, almost. I feel like *I* am the one being so gently and cleverly seduced! ~Aaah! Edit: Damn. The sweetest seduction, from beginning to end. No conflicts and no annoying 3rd characters. Just a perfectly steamy romance. Yum yum

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!

Hagiwara has a drunken one night stand with Yuto, and almost immediately forms an attachment to Yuto, and almost asks him to stay a bit longer, only to realise later in the day, that Yuto is a student at the university where he works! I really, really liked it. The progression, how hooked he was on him, the passion. It was really good and stands out from your run of the mill, standard yaoi

Takatsu wakes up after a drunken night to find he slept with the famous stage actor Motoi. On top of that, while it also being Motoi's first time, the unreadable Motoi seems to be completely undisturbed by this event? AND it turns out their starring in the next project together?? Okay, Motoi was too stoic and expressionless for me in the beginning, but he improves upon acquaintance. I loved his bravery and insight. Takatsu was a very likable character too. So gentle and loving yet form where neccessary. This was good. Light and refreshing. 4.9

About a rich heir to a conglomerate and a young doctor. The doctor's only ever been in one relationship, which was mentally abusive and he does not really understand how relationships work. The heir, who becomes besotted, is happy to show him. I think this works so well because they are both quite mature and decide to address their issues without unnecessary drama. Especially, the seme was wonderful with communication. But overall, have to say it didn't leave much of an impact. 4.5

Souhei is unable to enjoy sex unless he's tied down. As his sex friend, Lucas is happy to indulge him, yet as a man in love with Souhei, he yearns to set him free. I liked it more than I thought I would. Neither were especially lovable characters but the circumstances and plot endears them to the reader. I loved that Lucas was able to free Souhei from the confines of his trauma, and I liked his mom for being so supportive too. And I'm glad Souhei wasn't dense enough to let such a good thing go. As for his friemd, serves him right. Taking him for granted like that and trying to play God. Hmph. 4.5

Shinosuke is an overworked employee in a middling hotel, who has trauma from his scum-of-the-earth ex boyfriend. But a one night stand with a random handsome neighbour (Shizuka) who ends up being his new boss, develops in to something more and starts to tug at his worn out heart strings, yet again. Fuckin A. I love every little bit of it, dammit. I love how competent and strong Shinosuke is. I love how quietly possessive Shizuka is. How much he treasures him. He so jealously guard his every moment and memory, yet he's never intrusive or disrespectful. I love, love, love them together. 5!
