just_m3h's manga / #shounen ai(100)

Very cute and sweet and heartwarming, even. But still lacks the impact of the original universe. I love their history. It's what makes their relationship

Yul (Yurugi) creates an AI that he gives out (to test and further develop through learning and conversation) to a retired developer, Manaka sensei. Story follows both slowly falling in love with sensei in different ways. Yurugi is so fortunate to be so little concerned with the jealousy and ill wishes of others, as to not even notice his classmates ganging up on him. But he is luckier still for being surrounded by such capable and kind people like Manaka sensei, Seiki senpai and his professor. I am really glad they managed to protect DD, I was actually on the edge of my seat about that. This is so unique, as far as stories go, and their relationship is so wholesome and grounded. My heart breaks for Manaka sensei who had his work stolen in the past, though. Wish there could have been some repercussions. 5

It was cute. Built up some weird kinda suspense in my heart, excited me, but didn't really go anywhere. Just a simple story about a gay boy (who fantasizes way too much) who falls in love and finally confesses to his straight friend (he's living with family friends since his parents are in Italy) and his confession gets accepted. It was sweet, short and fluffy, there was no drama, nothing really special about the plot, just a simple, sweet story. Characters were nice. Started with a handjob in the first chapter, but ended with nothing else and no kiss or sex. 4.5

Very sweet, and wholesome and healing. But I'm also uncomfortable with Santa doing all the chores, all the time. I wish Rintarou would learn to do something. It would help with the stress. Overall, the family was fun to read about, the parents were lovely, and the ex was weirdly impossible to hate. I do feel a little bad for his boyfriend, but it looks like they're doing just fine. Anyway, love Rin and Santa together, would have loved to see the wedding

Toooooo long to be this low rated. Opting out.

Uke is trying to find a woman to marry because he wants to give his grandmother, who raised him when no one else wanted him, grandchildren. All he wants is to make her happy. But he can't seem to click with any of the women he meets. Ohhh. I love this devious seme. Uke is the actual text book definition of a precious little cinnamon bun. Like, seriously. He's everything adorable and wholesome, and then some. Excited to read on. Edit: Umm. Much ado about nothing? It didn't really develop excitingly, the uke just caved midway through and it was just a simple story. That's not a bad thing, but it certainly wasn't the hot and exciting story I expected. There wasn't any sex either. 4.5

Magnolia is a forest fiend who loves the altogether too human Emille and loses him over and over and over. You see, fiends live forever, and humans, not so much. Emille is reborn a hundred times and Magnolia loves and watches him grow old and burries him for centuries. So incredibly sad and beautiful. My poor heart. So unique, love the time skips, the suspense, the storytelling. Superb. 5* Yui is a disillusioned young guy who can't stand the sight of his pretty face that seems to be all he is valued for. Until he meets Nishino, who could care less about Yui's face I loved Nishino's personality. The no-nonsense completely sincere and just frankly self assured manner he excudes, ahhh. "I no longer think the luna moth's wings are prettier than you". My. Heart. 5* Shin is an astronaut carrying out a mission on a distant planet, testing it for habitability. His every day ends with reporting his mission to his colleague and friend Rukiya, who is dirtside on Earth and everynight is spent with the AI Rukiya built who can transform to look just like him. When his mission ends and he sets a course for Earth, though, things take an unexpected turn. So heartbreaking, good Lord. How could they have been so close yet so far? Never leave things unsaid. An unbelievably unique yaoi plot. Incredible. Definitely nothing "pandering to teenage girls" about this at all 5*

Can't imagine how this is completed. Asami's being unfair, for sure. Asami works at the general store and can't stand the hairdresser on the 5th floor, for no good reason. He realises Asami hates him and tries to get Asami to change his mind. 4.3

Shitatori is in love with his straight subordinate, Saeki. When they have to room together during an office trip, Shitatori ends up confessing that he is gay. It wasn't the best, but wasn't bad, either. Neither character was annoying but neither was especially interesting either. The way Saeki jumped straight to marriage was odd and made it feel shallow and silly. But only a bit. Overall, it was light and an okay read and I enjoyed how the office people seemed to realise Shiratori isn't just being strict for the sake of being strict 4.2

Suzuki has always been told he is plain and ordinary, nothing special, even down to his name. Even his family has always said that to him. The family who fucking gave him his fucking name!! Then he meets Shiga when he gets transferred to one of his dad's subsidiary companies, who tell him "you're special, the only one of your kind in this world". Suzuki finds himself unable to let go of the only person who has ever treated him as special. I love this story, because I love Suzuki. Also, I don't get it?? The man is uncommonly kind, he works so goddamn hard! He's so capable? He's perceptive and empathetic, what's not to like? People are just shallow and weird. Even though the way Shiga kep holding him at arms length bothered me sometimes, I still loved that Shiga never once treated him as a replacement. I wish Suzuki had been the uke, though. He is more suited to that role, imho. 5, duh
