ladyarakune's manga / #straight seme(18)

very realistic interpretation of modern romance. you get really into "i hope they get together!" and rooting for their relationship. No secret kinks, no bizarre sex toys, no threesomes, just regular people unable to express their emotions in love

two lawyers being bros. the usual. art was a little oldschool and left something to be desired

only 28 pages. there are a whole lot of feelings and emotions and then it just ends. oh boy. someone call social services

story 1- weird because the seme keeps saying he will kill his boyfriend if he leaves him story 2- just dudes being bros on a fucking subway train! story 3- mob boss and his bodyguard yada yada been there but this was much too short. followed in the same thematic vein as story 1, with will they-wont they stay together. art is kind of miserable.

weird story about a yakuza comprised entirely of high schoolers. one of them is supporting a child? um ok?

a series of pretty bland one shots. the main two are about a guy who meets an old flame and tries to win him over, and a secretary that falls in love with his boss

a bunch of short stories. there is this gem moment in an operating room where one of the doctors blushes because of something one of the other doctors does in surgery. it is so ridiculous. its like "the way you are cutting that organ *blushes*".

an architect and his interior designer werkin on building some kind of building get distracted. they do not seem to understand the meaning of "bisexuality" and this causes some distress. Things continue normally until this suddenly becomes a fetish manga. This was a welcome change from a story that seemed to otherwise fit a typical mold. This manga does not really have an end so it was kind of frustrating.

interesting experimental yaoi. think "groundhog day" with two people instead of one. the main guy tries desperately to stop the other guy from preventing his lovers death. cant be a love triangle if his lover is dead? am i right ladies? The story was really unique. it does get a little confusing at some parts and there was altogether too much "narration"/ peripheral text. tagged as "yaoi" since there are a lot o dicks getting sucked

first story is the one about a yakuza and a guy with amnesia. -plot twist: the guy has amnesia bc the yakuza pushed him down a flight of stairs then one about a guy and his continuous love affair over the course of like a decade -plot twist: he is a ghost. -this one fucked me up bc it seemed like they were really going to be together, but then the protagonist finds out his lover apparently died a while ago. then twins- twist is one twin killed the other then business men twist: the uke's sister dated him in highschool and he feels bad others but those were the best. so much trauma
