YvonMarie's manga / #Slice Of Life(354)

2ban-me no Alpha

Complete | Shibue yofune | 2019 released

On my personal opinion, I respect the alpha for how he's respecting the uke. The others comments are saying that it's selfish for the uke to wear the ring as it's making it seem as though he's not making an effort. I personally think that he was a huge part of his life. Imagine, they were highschool sweethearts and married until the guy passed away. Sometimes moving on doesn't mean forgetting of the past. Personally, selfish as I am (yes, I'm a red flag lol) but I would buy a necklace to put that ring on.

Once Again

Complete | Feng Xi Shen Lei | 2013 released

It's like The 10 years I loved you the most all over again damn. I didn't shed a tear but this is just sad man. I didn't see the twist coming because I picked this up after finding it in an Age Gap recommendation list. That's why it was unknown. This is just freaking sad.

Lie Cry Like

Complete | Aga Naomi,Yoshi | 2018 released

Probably one of the healthiest BLs I've read that's also realistic enough. Honestly, even if this wasn't BL, I might have still read this. The overall pacing, the way they interact with one another, their chemistry and overall 'unproblematictiness' between the two of them is fresh and peaceful. There's a lack of smut scenes (which I'm fine with ofc). Some author's who want to try that "healthy" approach especially in mangas, somehow end up making the story somewhat boring. That's the best way to put it. However, sensei in this one just makes everything feel so— natural. From the dynamic, approach and whole plot. Nothing is forced, not even in their relationship.

Azami

Complete | Ogeretsu Tanaka | 2000 released

I love that they're both happy together in their respective stories and with their partners but this background story just breaks my heart. I can't even hate the seme nor the uke. But .y heart just broke when the uke said he quit his job. I could feel the frustration he had at that moment. I also felt sorry for the uke who just literally had no idea. I wish they communicated. I wish they could have pulled through. But they didn't. They couldn't. And they moved on. I just wish they saw each other again. Especially for the seme to know that yeah, he's happy as well.
