real weird story.........uke has like no realistic reactions and seme is a weirdo too.........also weird girl that i don't think is explained, but i skimmed last chapter. so they used to be friends as kids, then seme moved away. seme is alpha, uke is beta who is becoming an omega. they meet again cuz seme moves back and then at seme's house, uke goes into heat and they fuck. next time uke comes over, in heat again and fuck. seme asks him to be lovers but uke is not sure about it. then he goes out and sees a girl in front of seme's house one day. she says she's supposed to marry seme cuz of a family arrangement and stuff. uke runs off and goes into heat. almost assaulted by a random guy but seme to the rescue. then they go home and fuck.

okay this was kinda bad. like okay premise, but the seme was wishy washy and weird. uke loses memory after hearing seme say he likes uke but regrets liking uke and wants to forget it all. well now seme is taking care of uke, who has been living with his family ever since uke's parents died anyway. they go places trying to trigger uke's memories. seme can't help himself and kisses uke a few times. uke doesn't think much of it?? in the end seme can't take living with uke anymore and distances himself by going to live in another apartment closer to uni. uke is totally sad and his memories come back and turns out he liked seme too........they have sex. idk this is probably not totally accurate. also there was a cheating girl who tried to get with uke again since he lost his memory of her cheating lol. also oneshot of two guys who like each other. seme comes over one day with his nephew and asks to stay at uke's place so they can take care of nephew together while parents are on honeymoon. uke agrees cuz he loves seme. but slowly uke gets upset seeing seme with other women and seme talking about having kids in the future. he tells seme to leave and seme kisses him. uke kisses back and they have sex and happily continue to look after nephew.

interconnected stories of two couples involving brothers from same family. so seme and uke become step bros through their parents' marriage. at first seme is upset at the new family but he quickly falls in love with older bro uke and accepts the family. seme's mom and new step-twins all know he likes uke and that's why he does a lot of skinship in the name of brotherly bonds lol. one day he sees uke go to a goukon and gets jealous. that night instead of the usual forehead goodnight kiss, he kisses uke on the lips. uke is naive and still thinks it's some brotherly things but it kinda ignites his feelings for seme. he goes to family for advice and they tell him it's pretty clear he's feeling romantic feelings. he's disappointed in himself for that and goes to tell seme they should stop the brotherly skinship because he's fallen in love. seme is shocked cuz he was just about to confess too lol and they get together quite happily. then uke researches about sex and he thought he was gonna top but he gets topped. second story is about the twin brother in this family. there's a dude who comes to the family's donut shop who likes the bro. shounen-ai story of tsundere bro and forthcoming seme dude who says he can tell the twins apart and that uke is unique from his sister.

couples in this series are all kinda messed up?? like one being totally mean to the other but out of love. i kinda love it but is this what messed up my perception of love as a child lol?!?!? main story is pretty basic. just a bartender and this flashy sexy dude who comes in all the time. everyone loves the seme, but uke wants to avoid flashy guys like that. turns out seme has liked uke since before when they met at this bar but uke went home with seme's friend and had a terrible first time experience. anyway in the end seme reveals he likes uke and uke wants to try dating him too so they get together. majority of series is set at the bar. other customers kinda hate uke for dating hot seme lol like they're jealous. and slowly we see seme guide uke into developing feelings for seme and confess them and gain confidence to say what he wants from the relationship. notable oneshot of seme who confesses to uke but uke has a nasty attitude. uke does fall in love with seme now in uni but seme is starting to like another guy. ending unsatisfactory cuz it's dumb. like uke sees seme has invited this other dude over to their house and he runs out crying. seme suddenly has a change of heart and likes uke again............... wish seme was not actually considering this other dude when he's actively in a relationship..........

really cute series. they don't dwell much on how seme and uke got together in high school cuz the point was supposed to be like 3 years into their relationship, suddenly uke becomes seme. since it got extended 2 more volumes, it had to be a reversible relationship lol and for that i'm quite thankful. also this story has seme (original) be an architect, which is super interesting to see and their dialogue is so fucking realistic i am sure author studied up on it a lot. basically uke was super cute as a kid and even in high school. he admired seme so much for his body and delinquent attitude. he confessed and seme was persuaded and agreed to date him. then 3 years later uke suddenly gets urge to top seme. at first seme is unsure but then he agrees and enjoys it. actually later on seme is the bottom more often......i'm sure that's the direction author wanted to do forever, but had to let seme top some just to keep the original nekoxneko premise going. anyway, second volume is more about them starting their careers and balancing being together with that. third volume kinda same and seme's got a new gay boss at work who was trying to hit on him but ofc our main couple is so strong and loving. SERIOUSLY WHAT A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP. SO FUCKING LOVING I COULD DIE!!!!

this is a very sweet story. uke is a cat werebeast and seme is a dog. uke sees seme defend his sis against a stalker and uke thinks he's really cool. he starts approaching seme in cat form to cuddle with him a little. seme realizes the cat's scent is the same as uke and realizes it's him. then they slowly get to be better friends with seme cuddling uke's cat form and uke doing the same with seme's dog form. one night uke's sleeping over after drinking and seme can't resist kissing him, so he goes in. uke wakes up and runs off in his cat form. seme follows with uke's clothes and they end up back at uni where they first met. uke puts his clothes on and listens to seme confess and basically confesses back. confused why he ran off then.......... and afterwards they want to have sex but turn into their werebeast forms when too excited so they hold off a bit and go on some dates and get to know each other first. then they do have sex and it's all cute!
Ore no koibito no hanbun wa junjou de dekite iru
very cute overall. uke is kinda a dummy in that he's too exaggerated in his cluelessness. 5 stars for enjoyability and cuteness, but not much plot. each chapter kinda focuses on a different step in their relationship. first chapter they're already together and it's leading up to their first time having sex. then uke feels bad doing not much around the house so he's like trying to learn and seme is super kind telling him no need to push himself. then they want to make others know they're dating so they stop getting invited to goukons but don't want to say dating each other. but then uke sees seme be popular with women and he gets jealous so he agrees to tell others and it's kinda obvious to others that they're dating each other lol. then they have their first date, which is kinda weird like you've been dating many months and no dates............. and finally seme proposes almost as a joke, just suggesting marriage, but uke takes it seriously and buys them rings. seme thought maybe he was cheating cuz uke kept being away to work more part time jobs. and then we see a cute scene of them dressed up for the wedding and then being all formal to have sex that night lol.
