Linnea's manga / #megane uke(63)

18.2.2021 All the stories have the theme ”first gay relationship” for one of the partners. In the first (1 yen man) the straight detective falls for the gay emotionally supercold/romantically superakward (tsundere) stock broker and has to make him realize what being in a loving relationship can be. The second couple is about friends-to-lovers, and the straight salaryman just wants to shower his lover with care and sexual pleasure, because his partner keeps on doing it to him, but is hindered by the man in question. What’s odd about that story is that THERE’S NO HESITATION from the salaryman as to whether or not reciprocate the seme’s 10 years of unrequited love. He just accepts them right away. In the last one, the ex-boyfriend from the first story finally get together with his unrequited love from his late father’s yakuza organization. This couple does try to talk it out BEFORE they proceed to having a sexual relationship, so they’re ”better” than the other couples in the book. Reread 6.4.2022

3.5.2021, 9.7.2023 A New York gangster named Clyde (born 1921) disappears in 1953 and turns up outside the apartment complex where Yuu lives. What starts out as a hostage situation, with Yuu scared to death, gradually evolves into Clyde becomming dependant on and tolerating Yuu... into bad attraction and then honest attraction. In a few scenes where Clyde seems to have difficulty opening up to Yuu about his growing attraction, we see him dreaming about vanishing into mist in front of Yuu. This actually starts to happen, and when Clyde sees Yuu desperately trying to grab on to him, I guess the moment when Clyde CHOOSES Yuu with all his heart makes him finally ”stabilize in time”. The morning after, Clyde’s thoughts about how he ”doesn’t feel as heavy” anymore seems to confirm that. Maybe the story is about how SOMETHING plucked up one part of a soulmate pair and dropped them off close to the other, and if they both chose one another they would be able to stay together. Oh, and saying ”iku” in Japanese means ”I’m cumming”. Clyde’s comment on wanting to learn Japanese just to be able to understand what Yuu says during sex (because when he gets too excited he switches from English) is a real accepting your new life thing. Kinda like him also saying ”if I could taste your miso soup every day” and Yuu commenting ”that’s how Japanese propose” is so....adorable.
