Warehouse
Wow. Hold on, I’m currently writing this with tears in eyes, so this is hard. Let’s talk about this. So, there’s a lot to cover, so let’s just break it up into three sections: The uke, the seme, and the relationship. The uke is the main character of the story. He is shown as a regular, hard working middle class man in his late twenties. He is kidnapped by the seme, and this is where we learn more about his character. The best words to describe this man are selfish, a sadist/masochist, and dependent. He is a person who didn’t know how to love properly, so in turn he used the feeling of superiority to hurt and force the seme to stay (in the past). When he finally remembered everything later on, he couldn't let go of the past, and tried to force his view of the seme onto him. Even after he burned down the warehouse and everything was over, he wasn’t able to let go of his kidnapper, and first true love. He is truly sad and messed up. The seme is shown as this mysterious kidnapper that is perverted and rapes the uke. When the uke finds his diary from the past and present, we start to learn more about him. The three words I would use to describe him is obsessive, depressed, and desperate. He was an innocent kid who was forced into obsession by the uke, after being tormented and belittled sexual and emotionally by him. He kidnapped and raped the uke as a way for him to experience all the pain he went through, but it ended up backing firing and making him fall in a twisted web of lies and love again. He really just wanted to be happy with the uke, but ended up messing everything up in the worse possible ways. Even after everything, he still accepted the uke back into his arms. This brings us to their relationship. What can I say? It’s toxic as fuck. They both experienced some serve Lima and Stockholm syndrome, and they can’t seem to love each other without making the other one suffer. These two did end up together in the end, and I will say why this is the best and worst possible ending. This is the worst ending because they seriously shouldn’t be in such a toxic and unhealthy relationship. This is the best ending because I whole heartedly believe that these two would never have found happiness or love in any way without the other. They are too messed up for love, friends, family, and even living. The fact that they are able to be messed up and in pain together for the rest of their lives, is probably the most painful and perfect option for them. They can depend on each other, even if it’s in an unhealthy way. Cuz even if these two messed up people weren’t together, they would still be in pain and suffering. At least now, they have someone to suffer with them. Anyways, just go read it man
Pendulum: Kemonobito Omegaverse
Aight aight. I came into this with an open mind. I thought the plot was great. The characters and character dynamics were all quite interesting. I also think the relationship is cute. I’m personally a fan of the Omegaverse genre, I’ve just never seen it with beast men before. I don’t think it’s a bad thing, it’s just not something I’m used to. It was kinda hard for me to get over the fact that “that man is fucking a wolf ” but I think I’ve accepted it more. This was a pretty decent manga overall
I Wanna Die Before I'm 30
...I don’t know how to put into word just how much I loved this series. I’m also not going to make this one of my regular reviews where I talk about the plot and characters. This is truly one of my favorite yaois now. I have no idea why, maybe it’s because of a poly relationship, or the backstory of Ryo and Aya. I have no idea. But this is truly a work of art and a masterpiece. Please, read this for yourself. You will have the most amazing time

How fucking good can you make a manga these day’s? I’m actually so upset about how good this is. I loved it so much. The art style is honestly godly, the story was so beautiful, and the characters were so unique. I wanna- idk. I wanna treasure this forever

Ok but like, that was so cute! I really liked the beast men and human plot, and I thought it was cool that they could breed together. The mc looks really cute in both human nature chimera form, and the seme is just *chef’s kiss*. The art is as good as ever mangaka-sensei, and I always love your plots. Go read it
Work, Fight and Love
I’m- im actually dead after this. Fuck this shit, why’d it get so fucking depressing? Anyways, split it up into uke, seme, and relationship. So the uke is a bit of a handful. Hes a super passionate lover, a little naive, too trusting, and self-conscious. He is dating two people in this story, which I didn’t expect. I actually liked him and the CEO, but obviously the seme was the superior choice. He has his own fair share of trauma, like every good yaoi character. Overall, I liked him a lot. The seme was my favorite character. He’s caring, loving, a gentlemen, possessive, a bit obsessive, and is arrogant. I loved his character. He was a very deep and very traumatized character, so it was interesting watching him grow and develop. It’s obvious he has serve trust and abandonment issues, so much so that it’s causes him to lock up his lovers that try to leave him. A little scary ngl, but most of the time, it wasn’t too bad (wasn’t Sangwoo style lmao). He’s like, the best boyfriend in the world for one, and he’s super fucking hot. Overall, I want him to step on me. So the relationship . I really loved it! It was Sooooooo cute! Honestly, perfect for each other. I definitely felt uncomfy with the whole forced-to-stay-at-home thing, but I was so happy to see the seme try his very best to trust the uke even if it was hard for him. I JUST FEEL SO BAD THAT THE MOMENT HE TRUSTED THE UKE, THE UKE BREAKS UP WITH HIM. LIKE- FUK YOU BITCH. I’m glad they ended up happy in the end. Go read this great and sad story
Kingyo no Ubugoe
I- ummmm so none of us are going to talk about how Tomohisa has sex with his (basically) son. Okay? Good. Anyways, this was a really good series. I’ve never seen a plot that had so much to it! I mean there was “amnesia”, kidnapping lmao, murder, family pressure, and even DID. I really didn’t expect the twist that involved Yutta and Yuki, so that was really dope. I guess Tomohisa is lucky. He gets the more dom bottom, and a very sub bottom in one package. I think it’s super cute they become a family at the end. Just don’t think to hard about the Tomohisa and Yutta thing please
