Chiguhagu na Kiss
SOOO CUTE. SOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!! I love me a fake dating story. i just tagged as misunderstanding angst though there's not much angst. uke messages seme asking him out thinking it's a girl he likes. seme agrees despite knowing it's uke making a mistake. they fake date and actually like each other a lot. when uke comes clean and seme is like 'i know' and lets uke leave thinking it was all fake cuz he didn't want uke to be uncomfortable. but uke is actually sad seme said he didn't like uke for real. uke decides to take things into his own hands and confess to seme anyway. seme kinda stands him up cuz he is avoiding uke but then hears uke has been waiting for him for hours so he goes. uke confesses and seme confesses back and now they date for real. soooo stinking cute!! they are prepping for uni, at least uke is, and promise to do the deed after uke passes. and he does and they do and there's some cute extra about seme getting his own place after high school and them picking out a bed and doing it lol.
Studio of Longing
FUCK JUST READ COMMENTS THAT THERE'S A VOL 2. super amazing art and hot sex. i see the author making artistic choices in how they laid out the manga panels and text too, this author obviously was classically trained in art. but the dialogue though..... inkr is not great with translations and the text here goes artsy and deep and is not well conveyed in english. half the time i'm only understanding half of what they're saying and what's happening...... two high school students doing art. uke is oil painter, seme is sculptor. uke asks seme to sleep with him so he can better capture the emotion he needs for his painting. seme agrees and they sleep together a lot and fall in love i guess?? some deep shit is happening and the author tried to explain it at the end, but i didn't really get it.... something about how the uke's feelings gradually changed and stopped being about his art but seme didn't catch on even though he also wanted more from uke...... idk wtf was going on but they split up just before their thesis projects are due cuz seme thinks uke was only wanting sex and seme couldn't stand that anymore?? idk why uke didn't just say that's not it, when seme's the one who was bad at communicating...... anyway, at the final exhibition, they meet up and make up and all's cool i guess. sex is hot and uke loves dirty talk.
My Secret Stalker
amazing art and super unique intriguing story, but the translations are a bit ass. uke is too nice and a pushover at work. always working to midnight and shit. is coworker seme sees this and wants to take care of him. one day comes to uke's house with some food, but ends up cleaning up cuz uke is just asleep. from then on seme's been coming to clean and cook for uke. then somehow the relationship turned sexual and uke actually really likes it. he likes his stalker taking care of all his needs lol. he starts getting closer to seme at work and seme stops coming as the stalker. uke gets sad cuz he misses the stalker. seme sees this and realizes what's happening so he comes one last time and tells uke it'll be the final time. uke cries and makes seme stay the night. next morning uke wakes up and sees his coworker, seme. uke is totally cool with it and wants seme to stay and stuff but seme just leaves saying he needs to protect uke from himself. uke is depressed at work. one evening seme goes over to visit uke cuz he sees uke is not doing well. uke is happy and makes it clear he likes seme despite all the stalker stuff. translations here suck ass so no idea wtf is going on really, but basically they reconcile and are dating now.
Koibito Keiyaku Chuu ni Tsuki
super cute fake lovers to real lovers. seme has liked uke since uni days. they are working in same company now and not as close. perfect balance of both liking each other. uke's fall was so genuine here.
Define The Relationship
this is a fucking masterpiece. like reading a jane austin romance, not that i've ever read one. this is fucking peak storytelling and art and i don't think anyone can get better.
My Darling Liar Boy
THIS IS SOOOOOOO CUTE AND SEXY. LOVE ME A DELINQUENT STORY. WITH HOT SEX. AND PINING UKE WHO'S NOT SHY ABOUT SEX. AND RESPECTFUL SEME. AND MISUNDERSTANDING. LOL EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS STORY IS FANTASTIC. seme and uke are delinquent friends since high school. they are real close and uke has a huge crush on seme. their friends want uke to do a prank video and confess to seme as a joke. uke agrees cuz he wants to confess to seme anyway. when uke does, seme is actually really turned on and into the idea, but hesitates cuz he doesn't want to ruin their friendship. but then uke cries and seme gives in and they start dating. they have the sweetest date ever and they are just lovely. then they have sex as well and everything is going awesome. but then the friends who made uke confess think uke is doing it out of obligation so they tell seme it was all a prank. seme gets so mad he ignores all of them for a while. but then he thinks back on his time with uke and realizes uke would not have acted like that just for a prank and they even had sex lol. so he goes to see uke and confronts uke about it and uke confesses again that yes he's always loved seme. then they make up and have super hot sex and they are lovey dovey again. everything is so cute here i loved it!!

BEST CHARACTERS EVER. GOOD OPEN STRAIGHTFORWARD COMMUNICATION. SLOW RELATIONSHIP WHERE BOTH SIDES ARE DEVELOPING FEELINGS. THE ML IS SO FUCKING COOL I CAN'T WITH HIM DAMN HE'S MY FAV. really realistic portrayal of a boy who tries to be romantic for fl, but he's got a boy mind lol
