Between the Sheets (HASHIMOTO Aoi)

Complete | HASHIMOTO Aoi | 2000 released

Ichese is lost and later winds up stumbling into a bar where he finds an extraordinary bartender, Takafumi. It’s love at first sight—for Ichese. Unfortunately for him, Takafumi has set his own rules to not date a customer. After numerous, persistent attempts at asking the bartender out, Takafumi finally says yes?!! Comment: I simply cannot express how much I fangirled, cringed, and squealed (in my head, of course, since my parents were sleeping). I don’t think my heart can take much more of this. The uke is literally so attractive. He is *chef’s kiss* bootiful. Ugh. Why do almost all of the anime characters I simp for have black hair? This also goes for people in real life too. I prefer when idols keep/dye their hair black. I definitely have a preference. Haha. (ᴗ˳ᴗ) He is so adorable and acts like a tsundere sksksksksk. Alright, now this next comment of mine is going to be referring to some particular pages. Feel free to go back and reread them if you need clarity on the context of this comment. (Volume 1 Chapter 4 pages 21-25) At the time, they were “*** friends.” I— That is NOT how *** friends act like as far I know from the information I’ve collected from books and other external sources. The main couple is so cute, and I ship it. I haven’t fangirled over a ship this hard since my fanfiction days. My heart is literally beating so fast, it actually kind of hurts. Oop— Probably shouldn’t have gotten my blood pressure up. (;^ω^)This comics deserves the five stars! The male leads are just so lovable! I would definitely recommend to people who enjoy BLs with character development, an enjoyable plot, and some spicy scenes if you catch my drift. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I’m definitely coming back for a reread someday. Love it! <333

Imitation Play

The art is to die for… They’re so pretty *sobs* Anyway, I quite like the ML and his vibes. Though he does seem a bit eccentric. Nothing like a good unrequited love story. I hope this plays out a teensy bit different from what I expect and that it’s not full of clichés, though. Update: So it played out like how I expected… But I liked it! The confession scene was *chef’s kiss* And I appreciate the art very much. 5

Grab the Stars

The ML (black haired guy, bottom) annoyed me sm. Bro has the nerve to block the Mc but then miss him like what… Probably one of the only good things about this was the art. The “angst” didn’t feel that genuine to me. The ghosting was just not it. All the conflict was just cliché mumbo jumbo.
