Seme was repressed his entire life, he grows up and becomes a teacher, met a student, lusted after him, but repressed it too. Then said student went AWOL, teacher (seme) wanted to help, student keeps chasing him out, then student's mom abandoned him for realsies, he wanted to off himself coz of it, teacher saves him, then rapes him in spur of the moment (I know, wtf?). Uke goes to school after that and keeps assaulting seme coz apparently he loves him after that incident (doesn't really make sense), then uke's mom wants him back for something, uke forces seme to assault him again (I dunno, to mess him up again, I guess?), then boom love, apparently. Execution was meh, couldn't care for either plot or characters. 3/5

3/5

Stories 1 and 2: doormat semes x uncommitted/fickle ukes. Story 3, I don't even know man, I was just disappointed each time coz most plot centers around a seme who chases the uke then gives up but the moment the uke coddles them, they're back to being a simp instantly; what was all that realization for? where's the character development for both? as for the 3rd story, it's kinda the opposite coz its the uke who's the pitiful character, the development and establishment of their relationship is wonky, plus the seme's a rapist too since he hired the uke to model for him but then drives him into intercourse, it's appalling coz in a way it's like pushing a broken man into a wall since the uke was literally in need of money, that job was important to him, and for the seme to take advantage of it like that is just plain cruel. It would be better if he offered to buy the uke's body in the first place, at least then when the uke agrees, he knows what he's getting into.

it's cute n all, also interesting since the uke is someone who wants to be the ML in a shoujo, but ends up being one of the leads in a BL instead lol. Still, I dunno, it lacked for me, maybe if the seme was more varied and expressive? all he does in this is be stoic and be stupidly/coincidentally perfect as an ML, he doesn't seem to struggle, so like the entire plot is just being carried by the uke.

I get that he's anxious coz the uke keeps on cheating but that much was just not playful, it's played out comically, but really it's just abuse. Uke too is abusive towards seme in terms of his constant cheating, he could actually be straight if only the seme didn't coerce him into anal seggz, forcing him into a relationship, and basically brainwashing him into needing him; seme even says so in some panels that the way he's treating him is some kind of training/conditioning. But the thing is, he doesn't really have the right to do it in the first place? yeah, he likes the uke romantically but the uke never regarded him that way, not until he's grown too attached due to their "activities", which by the way, he can also do with the right kind of girl, pegging is an actual viable option too, you know.

Really strong 4. Seme is nice but teases uke to get what he wants, which he do get coz the uke gives it to him willingly, all except for a direct love confession. It's interesting that until the very end, the uke is still not able to do that one thing, but instead became consistent in showing his affections through actions and roundabout statements. I also like that eventhough the seme was pushy with his "game" he still trusted the uke enough to know that he will not cheat, and he did know when to call it off even when his goal of making the uke say he likes him is still not attained.

As for the extras on the first couple, really that plot should've been on their main story instead. It would've been a good chase arc for the consistently cheating uke to realize his feelings for seme; coz at this current point in the story, the uke is already repentant of his past and is already devoted to the seme, so to pull off that kind of plot device, it just seems so out of the blue- all you feel is sadness and pity for the uke, and very little sympathy for the seme since he just comes off as paranoid and possessive with a proven record of violent streak. It just doesn't look good for both.

It has the right amount of tension that doesn't drag on, so when the pair finally consummate, it's so worth it and everything's all good. It's a comforting read. I like that the uke did not sexualize the seme when he was a kid and only even realized his (romantic) love for him years later, I thought this was gonna go through the shota/pedo route, thankfully it didn't. The interactions between the pair when the seme was a kid was really wholesome, they love each other, but it was more of a strong friendship kinda bond, I think it's the absence from each other (tho they do keep contact via phone) through the years that made that warm feeling evolve into desire and even romance. All of the works from this author that I've read have been rated 5 stars so far, it's just so good how they present the plot, plus the art style is so nice too.

after that, it's mostly slice of life stuffs which is fine by me coz the main leads are so adorable. This is actually one of the rare ones where I couldn't care much for the side characters-- I like the hetero couple friends and the dark haired secretary, but the rest are just meh, I dunno, the side couple lacked chemistry for me, and the thing with the silver-haired secretary and the chairwoman was just nuanced, not enough weight or tension for me to care whatsoever. Aside from that, top notch pacing from the author, and what an absolutely fantastic and healthy dynamic between the main couple too; the seme is deaf and needs to read lips/do sign language but my gosh the way he communicates with his partner blow tons of toxic semes out of the water, uke too is actively making an effort on his part to make the relationship work, and even though he acts childish at times, he reflects on it. It's just so nice seeing them happy together. Great read, really nice.

the ukes in this stories (well at least the first 2 since I didn't bother finishing) are all simps, the semes are bland af, and the issues just get resolved as if it didn't even matter in the first place. Not for me.

The characters are so cute and the drama is minimal/not dragged on. I can tell the author loved these characters and just had fun drawing them and their shenanigans, they didn't want them to suffer too much.

yaoi characters like Yosuke who thinks they're all the shizz needs to be pushed down and broken so they become all submissive and learn their place. GAHHH! his repentance in the story is barely even there too, which is soooo disappointing, not even an apology to either leads. Still rate is as 5 tho.
