just_m3h's manga / #sex friends(52)

Shima meets Takeru on an online gay dating app and ends up having sex for the first time in his life with exhibitionism on the side, only to realise Takeru is a schoolmate from uni. I think I'm having a streak of bad luck with these. Takeru feels off. There are worse semes, I know, thousands of times worse. But they need stoplights and aftercare. This makes me so damn uncomfortable. 3.5

Why is this rated so high? O.o I'm curious but the cover is giving me huge nope vibes and a bucket of anxiety Edit: Figures, both of these gentle souls wiuld fall for the same deceptively stoic seeming, but extremely kind man. Honestly, it's a bit long? But it really needed that length, to have Tsukasa's feelings develop. Danno's friend was so wonderful, and overall, I'm really happy for Danno. The constant insecurities and misunderstandings did grate on my nerves, but, I think they were also pretty valid, given their individual circumstances. I know they'll be good for each other and together for a long time. Glad I gave this a chance. Not that it matters, but the sex was hot too, though not the hottest

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

Shun gets busted to his long term rival (only in his head) at work, Ichinose, with a vibrator up his ass. Things devolve into a convoluted friends with benefits situation. Shun thinks he's just getting revenge on Ichinose, who clearly seems to have a thing for him. But... I surpisingly liked this one. The uke (Shun) sure shows some character growth. The seme (Ichinose) being so oblivious and sincere definitely was funny and refreshing. And I was just so glad Shun found happiness, after his truma and sadness was revealed in the last chapter. His old sex friend was so cool and chill, btw. That's rare in yaoi. The sex was so weirdly sweet and hot at the same time, even though there wasn't much of a depiction of it. I also loved that their sex drives were so in tune! 4.6

1: Uemura is an honour student whom everyone thinks is most innocent and well behaved boy around. But secretly, he's addicted to masturbation. And the guilt from it keeps him from ever making close friends. Then one day, a delinquent from 1st year, Matsuoka, walks in on him. But instead of blackmailing him or the usual plotlines, Matsuoka just offers him a helping hand (unbelievably respectfully, at that). They fall into a friends with benefits situation, but could it be something more? I really liked it. So fluffy! While Uemura is sweet and likable, I think Matsuoka is the star of the show, for sure! He's so respectful and sweet!! The sex is a bit much, though. So much of it, like O.o 4.8 5: Minamino, a high school delinquent, does not like fellow delinquent Kitaura, who was rude to him during the entrance ceremony, then later beat him in a fight. When Minamino sees Kitaura entering a love hotel with a man, he plots with his friends to turn that against Kitaura. But as Minamino starts to get to know Kitaura better, he comes to regret his actions. It was okay, Minamino was brave in standing up to his friends later on and even chasing after Kitaura to apologise. It does make him less of a dick. Kitaura is a bloody sait, though. Taking him back despite how scary that must have been. 4.4

Hot. Extremely hot, but........ shallow? Will have to see Edit: Ooh, better and better. While uke is being kinda gross, saying all that about teaching a high school and going after nonke, there's still facets to him. He's kind and considerate. And freaking adorable, all disheveled during sex. Seme is my kinda mean and intelligent dude. Edit: Overall, really enjoyed peeling off the layers and seeing all the lovely bits and pieces of their personalities. It was good. 4.9

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

Okay, so a salaryman is nailing a flower shop owner, but is also an m and the shop owner likes to tie him up and stuff hecause he's a power bottom. Looks like sex friends situation becoming something more. I enjoyed the atypical dynamics, but found it to be boring, overall. Especially since we don't really get to know them. It's just one session of sex. 4.3

Kotarou was content with his quiet (and somewhat lonely) university days when Aoi, the university's playboy, came crashing into his life. At first, Kota was just trying to help a friend out, but unexpectedly, he ends up becoming sex friends with Aoi, who “does not do the whole feelings thing”. But burried behind Aoi's cold approach to sex and intimacy, which is at odds with his general engaging demeanor, are issues he has hidden away since high school. I really like the progression, especially towards the end. It really helped deepen their relationship, the way they went about making amends, so to speak. I am relieved that Aoi, while pushy, did get his consent. I couldn't have loved this story at all, if rape had been involved. I enjoyed seeing Aoi turn things around and acknowledging the source of his trauma and choosing not let it make him an asshole, instead, letting it go. I love that he went after Kota and apologised, too. Kota was great, holding his ground like that, and so brave, too, confessing in public like that. Really enjoyed this. 5

Jinha becomes mistaken for Yoouie's hook up and in the resulting misunderstanding they end up having some unbelievably steamy sex. It was incredibly, undeniably hot. So, so, so hot. One of the hottest I've read in a while. But cruel. This can't be done, it's just wrong? Just how can this be complete?? There's so much potential!!? U don't like the way seme was drawn, he's too unaffected and blank. But that damn uke, yeeeeesh. He's perfect, and just unghhhh. No wonder, the seme's into him. I know I am. 5
