Mayonaka no Oyatsu
So cuuuuuute!! I really loved this manga. Seme was ADORABLE when he was a kid. He was so cute with the uke. How he blushed, got jealous/possessive, couldn't sleep next to him, got SUPER protective when he was in danger, worried about him. Gaaaah! He was just so cool! I'm so glad his personality didn't drastically change when he got older like in some other cases, like becoming really stoic or TOO mature. After the time-skip, you could still tell he was that same sweet kid who wanted the uke to see him as a man. And I LOVED how the seme didn't try to rape the uke upon their reunion. I feel like that happens too much in yaoi. This was WAY better: "I've always been in love with you.....I'm definitely going to make you fall for me." As it should be! And I loved, LOVED how it was revealed that he remained faithful to the uke for 4 years, despite being really good looking and most likely popular (and them not being in an actual relationship yet). He could've totally fooled around (and a lot of seme's would've) but he didn't! "I'm 100% devoted...to YOU." Taira might be my Ultimate Golden Seme!!! I really liked the uke, too. He was cute, goofy, but still had a certain air of maturity about him. He didn't immediately let the seme "push him around", for a lack of better words. I feel like the uke will still be the more mature one in the relationship, which I'm happy about. Sometimes in yaoi they make the younger seme more mature than the older uke and I don't always like that. 3 things I didn't love, but they didn't change my feelings about the manga too much: 1.) In the last chapter, the sex scene felt a bit rushed (as in they did it too soon) and ALMOST ended up looking kinda like rape. The uke was mostly compliant in the beginning and fully consented before they actually went all the way. Still, I would've preferred it happen a little differently, but oh well. 2.) While the whole incest thing was a little weird, I guess it could've been worse. I mean, better uncle/nephew, than father/son, or brother/brother. I think those last 2 pairings would definitely creep me out. I don't think I'm really into that stuff. This is my first incest manga. So yeah, it might've been better if they weren't related by blood...on the other hand, I can see the allure of forbidden love. It did make it a bit more exciting. Hmm, I guess the jury is still out when it comes to LIGHT incest. I think siblings or a parent would really bother me, though. But step or adopted I've always been pretty okay with. 3.) I wished it had more chapters. I think the "getting together" could've dragged out more, just for realism and some more cute drama. The uke seemed to switch over too quick, even though that itself took like 3 chapters in this 4 chapter manga. But it felt like the uke's feelings needed more development, it almost didn't feel completely genuine or at least not on the same level as the seme's feelings. The longer it would take, would make it that much sweeter and feel more real. And then I would've liked to see them dealing with their relationship. Seriously, I think this could've been at least a 20 chapter manga, if not more. There's so much to work with and the couple is just so freakin' cute!!! All in all, this was a sweet story that made me laugh. And swoon from all the adorably cute moments. Will definitely read again sometime. And I'll be checking out this author's other stuff. It was so good. Sweetest-Seme List Favorite Uke List 1st? Reread: April 2020 So cuuuuuute!! I really loved this manga.

I think the translation was off. Things didn't seem to flow very smooth. If not for that though, I probably still wouldn't have liked it as much. Something about it just kinda rubbed me the wrong way.
