myaoich's manga / #Harada(4)

1st story: Typical drama plot: Two of three friends are in love with each other but doesn't know and the third friend is in love with one of his friends. One of the two lovebirds were going to confess(the friend he likes) and the third friend knew about this but he doesn't want the two to the end up together so he said he was grossed out by homos and so when their friend confessed, he was rejected and the third friend catches him. Years passed but the third friend is still insecure of his friend's feelings. One night, he sees his two friends kissing and their other friend confessed that he likes him too but his friend/lover says it's too late (I still do honestly think that he still likes the first guy). The story ends with them all miserable, as even the third friend who destroyed a supposedly happy romance felt despair. Second story: Uke was a customer of seme who works in a spa. Uke shows he multiple piercings he has on his body to seme and that somehow was the start of their relationship, when uke explained about his tongue piercing and fellatio and gave seme one and they became proper lovers later on, though somehow they look 'mismatched' as seme would say when they're together (uke is rather sophisticated and styled elegantly and seme is rather shabby but still attractive imo). Uke also pierces seme's tongue while he's being fucked by the seme. When they were making love one night, uke explains how he got those piercings on his body and seme got jealous as he listened because they were all pierced by the uke's former lovers as he was being fucked and seme tries to tear them off his skin. After that, seme ignores uke until uke approaches him and offers that seme pierces him in the penis to show that he no longer cares about his past lovers. What makes it more interesting is that uke can only ejaculate if seme removes the cap piecing on his penis and seme feels superiority from that. I don't have anything against people who get piercings but I felt those illustrations in my skin lmao 3rd story: Two bros in a 'fling'. They obviously love each other but uke was always joking about their relationship that seme went along with it. Uke was upset when seme turned down his idea of moving to Shibuya (where gay marriage was allowed) without knowing seme did that only because he was afraid uke would joke about it again. Uke goes to Thailand to meet a hookup and later on returns to Japan in bandages. Seme finds out that he got into an accident and also heard from the uke's supposedly hook-up what he actually feels. Uke loses his memories except seme and also became more 'childish' due to his accident. The story ends with seme confessing that he loves the uke too tho I wish it was longer fufufu my take on this is that uke liked seme but was afraid that seme wasn't homo so he playfully tries his chances to be with him but that only backfired. I'm glad they ended up tho (it was rather implied but I'd like to think that) 4th story: Body-swap. The mc is a girl, a model student. She has a crush on her seatmate who is also a model student. One time she was almost hit by a ball when another guy tries to protect her from it but they both bumped their heads and passed out. When girl waked up, she was surprised that she wasn't in her body and finds out she and that guy from earlier had swapped bodies. They made a deal that they would not look at their current bodies when dressing up or using CR so they help out each other. The 'prince' that the girl likes sees them walk out of a girl's bathroom and misunderstands the situation and the girl thinks he was jealous because he likes her. Fast forward, the girl and the black haired dude bumped heads again and switched back to their bodies. The girl catches the prince glaring at the black haired guy when she gave him a gift. In dismissal, she also finds the two guys arguing and assumes they were fighting over her but she walks in on them having sex, her 'prince' being fucked by the black haired guy (that she also seems to like). The next day, she finds out they broke up because of that, but she comforts the black haired dude, assuring she won't tell anyone about what she saw and pushes him to make up things with the prince, but deep inside she was sad because she realizes she likes him though she couldn't do anything because her love was unrequited. This was rather sad for me, but I only feel bad for this girl of all the annoying female characters in yaoi because she was nice. I also hoped to see more of the two guys tho the seme was sooooo hot.

whew so the seme is manipulative (as typical in Harada's works). He rides on his childhood friend's guilt and trauma from 'not being able to protect him' from that car accident that cost his leg. The uke panics whenever he worries for seme and the seme is enjoying that. He knows uke will never forgive himself until seme says what happened wasn't uke's fault but of course because he's fucked up, he doesn't. I'm rating this 4 4star because I wanted uke to somehow wake up or smth but ofc I know traumas are shit

I read too much dark shit that I predicted most of them coming. They are sick and twisted what the fuck but I like the last couple because they were funny.

I love Harada but I hate shota...Nii-chan was shota too but that was quite brilliant and more impressive unlike this one...
