❀'s manga / #slow relationship(469)

five stars for the feelings and cuteness at the end, but really 4 stars when i think of the shit in the beginning lol. so uke and seme have the same face and look fuckin identical. but uke hates his face cuz it's like his dad's and everyone hates his dad for some reason. he goes to tokyo to get away from the small town where everyone knows him for the bad shit his dad did. he happens to live next to seme who looks exactly like him. seme keeps trying to make friends but he totally ignores seme's attemps cuz he hates seeing seme's face remind him of himself/dad. he sleeps around with a ton of guys and dyes his hair blond and gets piercings all cuz he wanted someone to actually scold him and show him they care about him. grandparents never did. this reminds me of that baby-faced delinquent one i just read... guys he slept with start approaching seme cuz think it's him. seme sucks one guy off just to make him stop seeing uke. then they get close cuz uke feels so sorry and seme scolds uke seriously for what he did. uke goes back to normal without all the piercings and hair and sex. and they get together. very sweet at the end!!!!

fake incest. they're step cousins. 10 year age gap. younger really admired the older one when they were young. but around when he was 8, he saw the older guy get into a fight with their grandpa and never saw him again. he remembers the guy saying he was gay. now he's in tokyo where the older guy went after that fight. they happen to meet on the street as he's thinking about the older guy and depressed lol kinda fake, and then he stays a while at the older guy's house cuz he thinks his own his haunted and the older guy has always been super kind. there's some shit with the older guy's ex but really insignificant. just there to advance plot and make younger realize his love. but older guy thinks it's a mistake and doesn't want the younger to suffer being in a gay relationship so he rejects it. younger guy eventually moves out 5 months later. but then like 2 weeks after that the older guy gets lonely and goes to find the younger guy. then he confesses and they get together lol. but he goes home right after and says he needs to think about his feelings and sort them out. younger guy doesn't hear from him in a while and goes to his house with condoms, thinking he needs to take action. turns out older guy thought the younger could still change his mind or something idk but basically they talk a little and mutual handjob and the end. cute extras showing them getting a place together again and going back to their hometown to meet family.

bizarre premise and events lol but just a cute story overall. basically guy always had a crush on his tutor from when he was kid/teen. tutor ends up marrying his twin sister, but 3 years later, his sister is gone and the tutor is asking him to be a babysitter for their twin babies. he spends two years looking after them at the guy's house. the guy is really rude some times and it's kinda weird. don't know what exactly that guy is thinking because apparently he likes the uke too and he wants him to be happy, but he doesn't do shit around the house and doesn't even listen to the uke's requests until the uke gets really angry about it. anyway, some times the uke dresses up as his sister to keep up appearances in the neighbourhood lol. when they send the kids to nursery school, uke's old classmate is a teacher and he comes to do a home check. he totally recognized the uke despite the crossdressing and tries to rape him. seme comes back and saves the day ofc and gets so mad about the assault. uke says no big deal don't take him to the police and they kinda fight and it's strained. so that night/afternoon uke takes the twins and goes to sleep at a hotel instead. seme finds him and they finally fuck lol. one time in the middle there, seme also attacked uke a little cuz he couldn't hold back after being woken up, but then he pretended it was only cuz uke looked like his sister. and even though he kinda forces himself on the uke and even looks like he's thought about hitting the kids, he got so mad about consent when the nursery teacher assaulted uke lol. anyway, title is pretty unrelated except for one scene and there's actually an entertaining story here.

one guy always protecting the other who has a hard family life. but when uni entrance tests come around, the uke kinda turns into the one to protect the other. like lying that all is ok in his life to make sure the other will feel easy leaving him behind. cuz uke wants seme to go to the uni he wants and achieve his dream instead of always just sticking by him as first priority. anyway, finally lies are revealed and their feelings for each other laid out. nothing special happening here but they keep doing diary exchanges even after they get together and in uni cuz they live apart.

real confusing back and forth about their feelings. like they both said they like each other but the older guy didn't believe the younger and thought it was just a passing interest or something. anyway, finally got together after younger guy gets sick and older guy comes to nurse him. guess the feelings finally got through or something... small age gap

FUUUUU NOW THERE'S A VOL 2 AND 3........ SO SUPER CUTE!! SHOUJO MANGA OBSESSED SEME AND AN EXPRESSIONLESS UKE WHO'S TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH HIM. AHHH WHAT A UNIQUE CONCEPT FOR A COUPLE, FELT TOTALLY NEW AND FRESH AND EXCITING!! Ofc the seme ends up falling for the uke's kindness and after some hurdles with the uke scared the seme won't like him, they fuck and get together, in that order lol. it's really new to experience the story from the seme's perspective!!!! second volume kinda deals with uke's insecurities being with a straight guy. but they talk things out in the end and decide to move in together.

really loved this one so much i've read it twice now! not sure how to feel about the weird wedding ring he kept wearing and his long crush on the professor, but everything else was perfect so i can overlook that little bit. super sweet development of their relationship!! again i'm seeing a pattern of loving an outgoing seme, this time with an uke that's elegant and beautiful and a little sorrowful

kinda stretched out, but still a great story. lovely interactions and progression of relationship. this author has really sweet stories that focus on relationship instead of sex. really makes me miss the old yaois that didn't just involve lewd fucking ever other page lol. fashion designer and model/actor. they used to go to uni together, not really friends, and now reunited 8-10 years later. the designer kind of rejects the actor's feelings at first because he think the guy needs to think about himself some instead of always focusing on the designer. right choice and then when the actor realizes what he wants for himself, the designer confesses too and they get together. basically like that i guess.

like 10 year age gap between high school student and this cooler older guy who is currently working in some recycle/pawn shop idk. kid breaks his glasses and works there to pay it back. they fall in love pretty quick and the rest of it is confirming feelings, getting to know each other, and moving on to sex. the sex is kinda weird cuz the uke is still in high school and that's a pretty big age gap lol.

they become roommates for both their benefit and slowly seme falls in love so he says he'll move out. but uke says it's just his delusion and no need to move out. uke already has feelings or is developing feelings and he isn't acknowledging them. only through some other issues does it force uke to realize his feelings and be clear about them to seme. very cute.
