Anastasia's manga / #2ND HAND EMBARRASSMENT(2)

16th yaoi. I liked the art style and thought it was a fluffy and cute cohabitation yaoi, BUT I was faced since the first panel with pure DARKNESS. I was certainly really surprised but I have had it in my want to read list for so long that I had to give it a try even if I wasn't really feeling a dark theme at the moment. I am pretty confused on how I'll rate it but I will go with a 4 star. I loved the art style and the character design was amazing. When the uke cut his hair he moved from cute to hot but his personality was so annoying and he was way too selfish until the very end. The seme could of course destroy me with his abs and he is one of the most pure-hearted semes ever, I only got slightly mad when I found out (more like predicted) he was not that sincere at the beginning. Their relationship was based on lust at first to fill their voids but It progressed into actual love, FINALLY another yaoi with actual love. The theme hit really close home and the concept was really well carried out and I would totally assume this was an actual experience of the author even after reading the epilogue since it was so close to reality. The only negative point is that it got pretty draggy towards the middle/end and could have replaced that with more of their future struggles and confrontation with antagonists like the family and classmates. It just makes the ending more satisfying and not make you question the characters feelings. Would recommend if looking for a dark themed yaoi that includes realistic mental health issues with a side of cohabitation lust turned love.

17th yaoi. It is so popular that I decided to read it despite not really liking the art style. I was so wrong about this. The art style didn't seem pleasing to me at first but I was just plain wrong. This yaoi showed me the way, I now don't care about the first impression of the art style because the story is immaculate. I loved all the characters, especially the seme, he is my soulmate. He is so perfect, I can't believe I finally found the perfect character. My expectations for real men have yet again rose to the far away galaxies. The uke is also cute but I feel that he just made some bad decisions. He just lived leeching off the seme first of all, he never gave him anything except for a couple ring, he decided to work in a cafe after studying 4 years of architecture, I mean why would you do that? He was way too attached to the seme even after my boy seme decided to give him some space and support his decisions. He obviously lacks a lot compared to the perfection he has access to on the daily. The story was really interesting and awakened a new fetish of mine. I noticed that I just keep adding to the list after reading yaoi and I can't stop listening to Yagami Yato now because I feel that the seme's voice would be close to that. I liked the side characters, especially my angel Jihye. It makes me kind of sad that he didn't get someone who actually understood him. I also got really mad because I felt like he got tainted and his angelic innocence got stained (I sound weird but that's how I felt). Would recommend if looking for an overload of cuteness and action at the same time, cause those scenes certainly are more frequent than any yaoi I have read.
