Kimi ni wa Fureru to Naru Toko ga Atte
fucking beautiful. this author is quickly becoming one of my top favs!! these two students who happen to become friends and feelings develop to something more. such a natural progression. and there's some details about how one knew the other before. and they tried to be a little deep with some family problems for the seme, but it was not shown so well?? either way though, beautifully told in a soft slow rough way!! against the backdrop of rural japan. slow to relationship but then they touch right away at school lol
ISHIBASHI DEFENSE CORPS INDIVIDUAL
set at a defense university, basically some military school. the two guys were friends in high school. seme is in love with uke and follows him to the defense uni. he makes it his goal to protect the uke. uke slowly falls in love, the events spanning their first two years at uni. lots of military puns and jokes. they never have penetrative sex lol seme comes in 3 seconds when uke blows his dick and they get interrupted the second time. love it!! second vol is just them trying to have sex whole time but uke's cousin keeps getting in the way cuz he also likes uke. but then he realizes how much uke only has eyes for seme and gives up. then they finally do it. then we see them graduate but it's kinda confusing cuz apparently they need to do another year and a half of some training?? and that's why a senpai is still here even though they're in 3rd year and graduating?? idk. but it's so sweet seeing them promise to be together forever. luckily they are assigned to be on same ship after studies too. and uke says he wants to grow old with seme and die together omg i fucking teared up it's wonderful.
Tonari ni
SO GOOD. SUCH A SLOW AND RELAXED STORY. big age gap. one guy 45, and the other is like 20? they happen to see each other on the shinkensen(?) and the younger guy likes the older guy a lot. then one time the older guy gives back a ticket the younger guy left behind. from there they kinda talk the next time they meet. and agree to start going to horse races together. that's why the younger guy was taking the train anyway, to go to horse races around japan's big cities. then from there they start getting drinks together and one time at the older guy's house, the younger guy is staying over after missing the last train, he confesses his feelings. at first the older guy kinda rejects it cuz he didn't think he was in love and didn't think he could do anything. he was experiencing workplace harassment, that's why he had to take so many business trips on the train every weekend. anyway, then they happen to meet again on the train and this time they get together! older guy says some women at a bar opened his eyes to how he looks/seems in love. he purposely makes the younger guy miss the last train and they walk back to his place hand in hand!! such a realistic read. very mature and slice of life-ish.
You Are My Darling!!!
neighbours. get to know each other through some bug extermination and dinners together. they find out they had some past connection. one guy helps the other guy overcome something in his past so he can write music lyrics again. then he kinda puts his feelings into a song lyric that the other guy finds and they get together. they even held hands before this so i thought they were already together but i guess not lol. cute but nothing special at all.
Karasugaoka Don't be shy!!
super cute!! they're not really delinquents but the way they dress and act kinda is, except they're on the right side of the law?! anyway so seme saves the uke one day and uke aspires to be like seme. he starts his own faction in the city helping the citizens. he gets so nervous seeing the seme that he acts out aggressively. slowly the seme sees the uke's cute points and they get together <3. no sex scene, but they do say they haven't had sex after a while in relationship.
Otoko Yamome Mo Hana ha Saku
age gap of nearly 20 years. 40 year old and early twenties. they meet at the restaurant the younger guy works at. slowly they get to know each other and younger guy falls in love first. invites him out to hang outside the restaurant and messages him and stuff. the older guy is divorced with a 17 year old daughter. she starts coming over more and reconnecting with her father who was mostly absent and the older guy can't see the younger guy as much. but this just makes him realize his love for the younger guy. even though they had kind of agreed to go out before, older guy was just trying it out. then they kiss and stuff and the older guy says he's not yet ready for sex but next time for sure.
Koi wa Kamen no Uchigawa ni
guy who has a strong sense of justice is mistaken as a delinquent. he loves watching hero shows and falls in love with the guy who plays his fav hero at a local show. the hero is unsure and says to just keep being friends as normal. delinquent guy makes another friend at school who steps in to help them out. they get together but it feels kinda weird cuz the delinquent guy didn't even know the hero guy's real name or face until just before they got together...
Kimi Ni Yoseru Blue
first story is the best. new guy on the island becomes friends with a guy who approaches him despite his shyness. they get close and new guy falls in love. he confesses and kisses the other guy but the other guy runs away. turns out he was just scared because he didn't understand his own feelings. they get together and after that they're kinda feeling jealous when the other person is with other people even though they know rationally there's nothing to be jealous about. a little misunderstanding angst and they're back together again <3. 2. this is weird story about two guys who used to fake date in high school to replace their real crushes. they meet again 10 years later at the wedding of one guy's crush. other guy's crush turned out to be the first guy all along. first guy then admits he liked the other guy too. kinda weird. 3. some super natural fox eats a monk who has liver failure from drinking too much. idk didn't read too closely. 4. supernatural stuff again. guy who is in charge of writing people's lives falls in love with the guy he's writing for. guy loves him back. so the supernatural writer loses his powers and memories of this power to live as a human. idk all too fast.
