❀'s manga / #slow relationship(469)

super cute fluffy story of childhood friends living together for university and turning into lovers. seme (though they never have sex here) has been in love with uke since childhood. now in uni their mothers planned for them to live together. at first uke is kinda upset, but then he likes the seme cuz seme is just so perf at everything and so good looking. seme says he can't hold a gf down so uke says he'll pretend date him to see what his problems are, but finds none. seme then reveals that ofc uke wouldn't see them, i guess implying that seme was acting perfectly for uke and uke kind of realizes seme's feelings for him. after that is just the uke on his own journey to realizing his feelings and feeling like he's good enough for the seme. he confesses, they get together and done!

cute story with two teachers, one teaching math and the other, gym. just a fluffy story of them dealing with some student issues and falling in love with each other through normal interactions. also sharing some of their history together. wouldn't say the story is too unique or deep, but just a nice cute read. there's a student couple in here that's kinda unresolved, would have liked to see what happened with them idk... and it's not too clear how the math teacher fell in love lol but whatevs, it's just nonsense cuteness here.

this was such a good one! heartwarming with some lessons about family. age gap of ~5 years so uke has to take care of dead sister's child while the grandparents are on a cruise for 61 days. he wants to do it alone for his family, but struggles. the guy who's liked him for the past 5 years comes in to help. he took care of his dying step-grandma before. the three of them face some trials with the child not being able to talk or pushing a kid for badmouthing his uncle and getting lost at a festival. child also used to be selectively mute but when he got lost he called out to his uncle and could talk after that. i guess he was reassured that people wouldn't leave him behind anymore? if he called out, someone would always be there to hear him? something like that maybe. and when the 61 days are up, the uke has realized his feelings for the seme are real and they kiss. in an extra they have sex but first they are almost foiled by the child showing up and needing to be looked after for a night. still they have sex and it's hot but just a nice way to close off their relationship to the readers. and it's only the first step of many for them!! but it's revealed the seme was not a virgin.....like why reveal this lol he just had random sex before cuz he says he only has and only will love the uke

step brothers with around 4 years age gap. they both like each other but the step brothers thing is kinda holding them back. the older brother feels pretty guilty and was using other guys to substitute as his brother. but apparently just touching. and the older brother has some trauma with his dad leaving them to travel as a photographer idk but it all resolves and he ends up working under his dad, studying to be a photographer too. also the older brother tries to run away and the younger brother confesses as a way to keep him close, but it doesn't really work? it has no effect basically. the older brother comes to terms with his feelings on his own time, but maybe it's good he knows his brother's feelings for sure now. then they kinda part cuz the younger bro is like i need to grow up so we can be together and i can support you. older bro goes off with his dad for 3 years. time skip and older bro is back, they have sex first night lol. end.

teacher and student and the student's bff that's kinda scary lol. the bff has set his sights on sensei and sensei is scared/hateful of gays. at first he is nice to the bff cuz he sees our seme student upset when they get close. then he sees bff is a crazy rapey guy and the student was just trying to protect sensei from his friend. after that student and his bff kinda create and alliance where the bff continues to pretend to be into sensei but actually he is just creating opportunities for the student to save the sensei. slowly the sensei comes to accept the student. they deal with some minimal issues like test scores, a guy liking the student, a student stealing test questions but all overcome in the end ofc and then they finally have sex, though first time they tried the bff interrupted them.... volume 1 has some oneshots but nothing remarkable. first is story about two high school guys already in relationship. one guy super cold to the other at school but does it for the other guy's protection? so people don't think they're gay and stuff. idk but someone did try to assault the other guy but he punched back. but the other guy actually had his own plan to act close and touchy with every guy so he could look natural when close with his bf. second is inconclusive story. one guy asks another out and at first he's like no way or something. next day thinks he misunderstood dating with just going out somewhere but first guy is like no i did mean dating. so other guy thinks about it a long time and observes the first guy. in the end just says he will think about it seriously more. then is some story of a guy who always says yes to being asked out. his friend has always liked him but sat back cuz he kept being in a relationship with other guys. this time a girl is asking him out and the friend gets scared so finally bites the bullet and asks. the guy is like ok and thinks this time there are real feelings......

high school 3rd year and 32 year old man. kinda scary age gap lol. basically older guy picks up the younger guy on the train cuz younger guy sleeping and won't wake up. seme takes uke home to sleep. seme found uke's bento and ate it cuz he was so hungry and uke said it's ok. uke made the food cuz he does a lot of housework at home for his mom and 2 younger brothers. then seme said come cook for me pls. uke was kinda unsure but agreed in the end to twice a week. so seme starts falling in love through spending time with uke 2 nights a week. and he starts off with little cheek kisses that uke thinks are platonic cuz his family does it too. but one night uke is sleeping over first time and seme kisses him for real and confesses. uke is still there next morning and says he'll keep coming. but the next time he's supposed to come his brother got a cold so he didn't and then after that seme went on a business trip. uke for some reason was waiting outside when seme returned. he explained it was a misunderstanding and he's just sick, not quitting. uke was also kinda unsure about himself cuz of the age gap. but after this they get together for real i guess? but seme is respectful and decides no sex until after graduation. then we see them fucking first time the night uke graduated lol. then the extra chapter is 2 years later when uke is in college and they're having sex and seme kinda proposes by saying live with me after graduation and i'll adopt you into my family and greet your family.

this is not really a shounen-ai but since they barely have sex, it'll tag it here to signify the focus on story. AND WHAT A FUCKING MASTERPIECE OF A STORY IT IS. I CAN'T BELIEVE I DON'T HAVE MORE TAGS TO SHOW JUST HOW GOOD THIS WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only gripe is some times too implied for a dumbass like me. But this translator is so good. I saw so many connections in how she used language. Sad that she quit :/ anyway, basically this couple has been together 15 years and suddenly uke says he wants to break up. seme is super confused but they still basically continue the relationship as before. just now uke is denying sex all the time. uke kinda said seme needed to figure out for himself which promise he broke that's making uke want to break up, but i feel like even by the end it's not said what exactly was the broken promise??? but as seme tries to figure it out, he remembers other promises and we see how they got together in high school and what other promises they made and kept or didn't keep. and as uke says he's falling in love all over again, seme can't get hard cuz of guilt about something he's keeping secret. anyway turns out uke knew all along so it's fine. and in the end i guess the broken promise was to be together forever?? never saw them making this promise. but uke wanted to "marry" the seme by joining his family registry. first seme didn't get uke's intentions and said he didn't want uke to lose the connection with his adoptive father. but uke is like you dumbass this is all i want and you're not giving it to me? anyway in the end this whole thing was only resolved cuz they needed to be legally family to do a joint loan on a house. seme didn't realize the broken promise until after uke said all that. so they buy a house together and live happily ever after i guess.

very funny and cute! the uke is obsessed with shoujo manga and wants his life to be like that. so he's hiding his otaku self and acting all cool. then the seme who knew him from middle school transfers in. the seme was the only one who listened to him talk about manga in middle school and knew his true self. anyway seme likes uke and uke slowly feels himself falling for the seme cuz the seme is doing all the cool male protagonist stuff that they do in shoujo manga. there's a bit with a love rival like one of uke's other cool friends suddenly likes him, but that's like no issue and everyone is still super friendly. anyway just a bit of fun. and turns out the seme drove everyone away from the uke in middle school cuz he was possessive and it's not cuz people thought he was gross for liking shoujo manga.

super cute! friends since childhood and they don't go to the same school but still ride the bus to and from the school area. they both like each other but thought they had no change. took some girls getting involved to make them finally acknowledge their feelings and move the relationship forward.

cute but honestly kind of boring and i thought the uke was a jerk who didn't redeem himself. very forgettable. younger seme and older uke. seme used to admire uke since junior high but uke forgot about him and started hating him when he got too good in high school. then they met and uke said real nasty things to seme. they meet again 7 years later when both professional baseball players. uke goes through rising from second level pro to first level pro and there's some drama about whether or not seme is going abroad.
