❀'s manga / #slow relationship(469)

uke super popular with guys and always has guys chasing him and he's disgusted. seme keeps finding him being attacked by guys and proposes they fake date to ward off men. uke rejects at first but finds the come ons so gross he 180s real quick and agrees. uke is happy to finally have a male friend. one day studying at uke's house, his stalker comes and accuses them of fake dating. seme kisses uke in front of stalker to prove their relationship is real. after that uke kinda ignores him some days and seme feels soo bad and realizes he's becoming like the other guys who are all over uke. he formally apologizes and gives uke an apology letter and says he will never do that again. uke forgives him and seme tries super hard to remain just friends. then one day they're hanging at seme's house. uke sees porn on seme's tv and tries to leave but seme stops him. seme's like what's wrong and uke asks why he was so good at kissing..........which leads to seme kissing him again and confessing for real. uke leaves and seme thinks he messed up so bad again. but next day or so after school uke goes to find him and kinda says he likes seme back. truly uke had been showing signs ever since they kissed the first time. some time later, they've finished with exams and are finally going on first date. too bad the pancake place has closed down. seme gets idea to do pancakes at his house instead and invites uke over. uke surprised by it but likes it and then it leads to their first time having sex. we get an extra scene of them fucking on the roof at school too and that's the end......

this story and especially the main character really resonated with me in how he felt towards life and it was so great to see him find the desire to live again. cried multiple times. uke is depressed and tries to commit suicide by jumping in front of train. he wakes up a high schooler again and he meets seme, who obviously likes him and clearly says so. seme is a track star 1 year younger and uke used to be a track star but had a knee injury and never ran again. seme keeps asking him to run and in this dream he does but real life he never did. this time he also accepts seme's confession to date. and he's kinda pushy about wanting sex though seme is very pure hearted and wants to make sure all the proper processes are followed. when it's time to consider future plans, seme asks him to go to t uni cuz it allows non-athletes to be involved in the track club. and then 1 year later seme will follow him there. but uke is like no way i'm not going there cuz i can't even run and i don't want you to come to this school for me when you got an offer from s uni which is an amazing track school. so they argue and uke says some mean things about gay couples having no future so no need for uke to do all that. then uke wakes up and realizes it was all a dream and he's in the hospital. he goes to find seme now. they're like 27 28 i guess. seme is retired track star with multiple medals, now teaching at t-uni. seme is happy to meet uke on sight and doesn't seem surprised at all. he gives uke a little kiss and said you came because of this right lol. and turns out seme has always been waiting for uke to come to him. he even said in an interview on national television that he'll be waiting. but uke was avoiding news of him and never saw anything. actually seme said in various interviews about how much he admires uke and how uke is his inspiration and how he wants to run with uke again and sweet things like this. cute ending of them having sex after uke has healed from his attempted suicide injuries. seme promises to never let uke feel that way again and uke is happy to be alive and looking forward to life. all he had wanted was someone who could love him and now he definitely has that. he actually dropped out of school or something in real life after the fight with seme and had bad bosses and bad encounters with men. anyway, so glad he is over that now and this manga really gives suicidal people hope. i really felt it and was touched by its message.

i remember reading this and liking. chap 1-3 is the window cleaner story. the incomplete part is another story and maybe missing extras. will review and summarize

vol 1 of this animal series. super cute rabbit x wolf. wolf loves cute things and one day sees rabbit transform into animal form cuz he's sick and wolf thinks he's super cute. there is a bit of a hurdle for them to get together due to different species and carnivore x herbivore. but rabbit sees wolf is genuine with his feelings and not just wanting to dominate a herbivore or something. wolf walks him home a lot to prevent creeps from getting close and takes care of him during his heat. rabbit is cute and meek but still shows his desires openly when wolf is feeling like he might be coming on too strong. great balanced relationship where both sides obviously love the other.

i keep rereading this one but never remember cuz i don't really like it. they used to be in motorcycle gang together, not hairdressers.

kind of cute, felt a little incomplete. some parts about the uke's trauma are kinda glossed over even though it was apparently a big trauma for him...... 3 year small age gap. seme trained by uke when first hired into company. though uke is kinda mean, he's just a strict person wanting seme to be the best possible. seme develops feelings for uke and uke feels the same back, but due to some past trauma uke can't accept a relationship so easily. idk like he thinks ppl fall for an idealized version of him and he isn't a good partner or something. anyway so uke transfers away and pretends to not hear seme's confession as he's leaving. some years later, seme transfers to uke's branch so they're together again. seme wants to get close and work hard to make their branch office successful. uke obviously knows seme's feelings now but refuse to acknowledge it. then seme gets transfer notice pulling him back to headquarters. the night before seme leaves, they have a going away party and then uke invites seme to his house. obviously with those intentions in mind. they do it and then uke says to wait for him 1 year. uke's planning to get a transfer back to headquarters as well so they can be together. and it kinda ends there on somewhat uncertain times.

mostly shounen-ai with a random jerk off together scene. uke has supernatural powers of all types. seme is kinda a delinquent unintentionally cuz of misunderstanding from others. one day seme throws a ball that's about to hit uke and they get teleported away. they spend a little time together at the beach and then seme teaches uke to use the bus back home. uke says today's teleportation was his doing cuz of his psychic powers. after that seme tries to help uke control his powers. uke helps seme with school work and stuff. uke's dad is kinda overprotective and doesn't like seme at first but then sees how his son is happy and able to control his powers more and warms up to seme. their confession and stuff happens kinda weirdly fast. like uke's powers suddenly makes ppl love him on sight and he runs away from seme. then seme says it's ok that won't happen to me cuz i already like you. then they jerk off............. we see them going to the beach together again but wish there were more extra scenes.

barely a kiss scene and definitely no sex. this is some real shounen-ai shit. the feelings are barely even confirmed..... shorter guy trained by military gramps to be super strong and kind. he helps a homeless guy in high school and rumours spread about him being a delinquent and stuff. but he only beat up some guys who were extorting the homeless man. after that he has no friends and people only approach him cuz they think he's a delinquent and want to get close to that status. now in uni he wants to reform his image to be a normal guy and live normally with friends. but taller guy realizes they went to the same school and remembers his high school rumours. but short guy tells him to be quiet and comes clean about his wishes. tall guy is very friendly and happily offers to become his first friend. so they hang out a lot and tall guy falls for shorter guy. one night short guy gets drunk accidentally and they nearly kiss. after that tall guy realizes his feelings and feels awkward around short guy so avoids him. short guy doesn't want things to just end like this so calls him out to a park. there they are assaulted by some punk from short guy's past who's jealous because his girl broke up with him to get with short guy. anyway, short guy breaks free of restraints and beats them up and then tall guy accidentally confesses his feelings. short guy is like that's not bad, you don't need to get over them and i guess it means they have a future? afterwards at the hospital for their injuries, they meet the homeless man short guy saved before. now he is back on his feet and super thankful to short guy. in the extra they just have their first kiss cuz short guy is like why you've never kissed me lol so tall guy does it. and short guy says some ambiguous shit like he still needs time to decide.

two couples, interconnected characters. good overall, but not super appealing. first is high school friends who jerked off and almost fucked one day. after that they graduated and seme said he got a gf. uke super hurt and cut contact to protect himself. seme confused cuz he almost raped uke and thought it would be best to get a gf and show uke he wouldn't rape again. seme very hurt when losing contact and couldn't bring himself to reach out first. 10 years later they meet on the job. they both still like each other but neither admit it due to each misunderstanding that the other only wanted to be friends. lots of back and forth like that before finally a coworker makes seme super jealous on purpose to test his feelings. then seme comes to take uke away and they go to uke's house and have sex. second story is about the coworker of 1st story's seme. coworker 35, uke 20. coworker often goes to their office receptionist's home for parties. there he's met her son a lot and the son fell in love with seme. he chases after seme a bit but seme is like no way i've never been with a guy and i don't like you at all. but he gets a little depressed seeing so many happy couples around him. realizes that seeing the uke makes him feel a lot better and hugging him recharges his energy. they get together after that

rich guy stays at uke's hotel. uke saves him from some drunks pestering him for his valuables. after that seme gets interested in uke and assigns him as his personal servant. seme visits hotel every weekend and they get to know each other. i guess pretty soon seme falls in love with having someone he can speak openly with. he asks uke out but uke is not sure for a while. eventually he sees how hardworking seme is running his family's business and agrees to date. after that there's some jealousy with a female friend of seme's and uke just feeling insecure cuz seme is away so much. uke jealous again and thought seme was drifting away cuz no sex. turns out seme just had a big work project and he was holding back. they have sex when seme returns.
