Smells Like Green Spirit
3.6.2020 A gripping and realistic story about three young high school boys living in a rural small town in Japan. This story was, in places, really heartbreaking.
Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai
5.6.2020 - This one i a difficult read for me, but I still don’t want to put the story down. It has a LOT of the more horrible BL yakuza tropes in it, but it also deals with trauma and wanting to change. 29.7.2023 ch 51 12.8.2023 ch 52
Pheromone Shower - Omegaverse Short Stories
11.6.2020 Out of the two relationships (gambling addict omega x dark CEO alpha, salaryman alpha x chairman's son omega) in the short stories, i'm not really liking either of them. The first was all about control and felt more like psycological abuse, and the other one was about taking away someones options. Not really for me.
Burlesque Night
- 26.6.2020 Two of the things I really liked about this story was the authors attention to Kaede’s Swedish heritage, as well as how the characters handle the trauma (stabbing, gangrape) that occured to Kaede before he met Kuroba. The build of their relationship felt more belivable because of it.
Hitotsu Shikanai Mono
18.6.2020 A depressed 20-year old finds an outlet for selfharm in Niichoume as a kind-of-prostitute, and a 28-year old salaryman helps him heal and find love instead. This is one of the first yaoi I’ve read where the aftermath of rape is handled properly; as in that our protagonist actually goes to take an HIV-test (which fortunately comes back as negative).
Boku Wo Suki Ni Natte Kudasai
18.6.2020 ch 2 So, an obsessive stan (stalker fan) manages to see his Love-chan idol on the subway and follows her to her apartment building. After a lot of times like this, the manager of the girl catches him. But in lieu of bringing him to the police, the manager instead forces the stan to have sex with him ”as payment” (basically, it’s rape). To make matters really weird, the manager gets turned on by the stan’s crying face (yeah, we have sort of a sadist and masochist thing here). And then, the stan sort of switches his interest to the manager... Yeah, all ocer the place, and this in just 2 chapters! 30.10.2021 ch 3 So, this goes on to the stan becoming interested in the manager, and the uke is kinda weirded out by the stan falling for him, thinking ”it’s all in my head right, no one is interested in ME” and thinking the stan is so cute. And still, he DIESN’T SAY ANYTHING and just decides to test if it’s mutual so he calls for a fuck buddy and noooo he can’t get excited at all…. Offs, one crybaby purehearted stan seme and one kinda tsundere-but-not-really uke manager…what are gonna do with you. 7.7.2023 ch 4
