Youchina Koi O Dou Shiyou

Complete | kurenai | 2016 released

Aw, very sweet. Sad and heartwarming, though there are things I wish it would have explored more. Still, I liked it, and I love hurt/comfort sort of stories. I want more of them where the seme is protective and loving. Personally, I'd like a more passionate and expressive seme early on, but all the same. I give it 4.5 for the first six chapters. If more come out, that might change.

Romantic Joutou

Complete | Moriyo | 2015 released

I actually really liked this for the most part. Not sure why people hated the uke so much. From the start it was clear that most of what he was doing was a defense mechanism. It broke my heart that he was so in love with Tsugitsugu like that, but it pisses me off a bit that they never addressed the fact that the rape and mark from the alpha was partly Tsugitsugu's fault. I know he thought he was doing what was best by leaving Kei, but why would he choose such an awful time? I couldn't get past that, and I feel like most people were hating on Kei and Ekihito more than anything. At any rate, I wish I could see the spin off of their kid growing up and falling in love with his friend. That was a cute little extra. I also wish someone would translate those first two pages. :( I should also add that there's a super messed up sex scene near the end. I mean, I guess that's a true sign of love if you can keep it up when the one you're banging is... doing that. Pretty crazy. I feel like it would catch a lot of people off guard. Not a pleasant surprise, haha.
