Mama Fujoushi's manga / #Multiple stories(368)

Meh. I didn't like the top in the first story. He redeemed himself a bit in the extra at the end, but he still treated the bottom pretty shitty. Second story, if I stuck to the first chapter, it'd be great. That second chapter (4) sucked. I did not like the top's attitude. S/m is CONSENSUAL you bastard. And teasing people until they cry. No. Uh uh. Ugh. Last with the cop/prostitute... I dunno. I didn't like the bottom in that. he was definitely annoying. Not a reread on any of them, realy.

Only two of the stories are translated (and as it's been years since they did, I doubt they'll translate more). The two here were great, though, and I enjoyed both of them quite a bit. :)

Really enjoyed all of them. Only second one isn't age gap but the other three are. All four are quite good, though. Chapter 2 is brothers! (Blood brothers!!) 1. Transfer student Nishimura hides his kansai accent to be popular. What that plan didn't account for was the homeroom teacher. #Teacher x Student .................................................................................................... 3-4. Takeuchi, the most popular guy in school, can't seem to draw his eyes away from the strange and small, #food-loving Iida. #Sensual gestures #Seme's PoV .................................................................................................... 5-6, 8. #Middle-school yo-yo expert (13yo) x Insecure salaryman (29yo)! #Shotacon .................................................................................................... 7. Fired from work, his fiancee a bitch, self-effacing Shingo befriends a student who was fishing at the same spot as him. #Insecurity

I enjoyed the light stories. Not to hard on angst. The poor kid in the first chapter got on my nerves a bit, but he found his footing and admitted he messed up so that was good. The second with the butler and restaurant owner from the first story was sweet, but I didn't like the butler's dad. >.> He annoyed me. I get that they have a lot of duties, but dude went WAY overboard. Grounded? As an adult? Fuck that. /annoyed Third story (ch 5) was the childhood friends with the one who came back after being gone for a long time. I like that the one who was basically a shut-in except for school (and work) made the effort to go out to get his lover. The extra at the end with the first couple was really sweet and I loved how determined the (formerly) rich kid is. Sweet stories.

The first bugged me a bit because of the too-ambiguous ending. Home tutor (who's in love with the student's older brother), student (who's has a thing for the tutor), and student's cousin (who's in love with the student). I am not fond of those kinds of love triangles and it irritates me. Ugh. Second story with the kid and yakuza, I actually liked. I liked that the yakuza took the kid who'd been abandoned by his dad and were going to be together. I didn't like the third story (the uncle/nephew). I didn't like how the nephew behaved and I didn't like that there was NO explanation for why the uncle was so... useless? (His word.) The last story with the housekeeper-turned housewife was cute. I could see both not knowing how to introduce someone and not liking how it he was introduced. I am glad they got past it for a true HEA. So, second and fourth stories were the best. Other two.. erg. Nah.

I loved these. 1) I'll Natured Lip Salaryman Takafumi has fallen deeply for his childhood friend, and neighbor Ryu, who is still in high school! But Ryu always gives him the cold shoulder, which worsens as time goes on. What is happening? 2) Unspeakable Innocence Student Esumi's butt is constantly fondled by his friend Oda. Is it only sexual harassment? 3) Neighbor Love Ikuo and Hyuuga are merely neighbors, until Hyuuga stops by to return a mismailed invitation to a photo exhibit. Now they are friends, and maybe something more? 4) The Key of Bonds Nara and Hirao are college students who just sort of fell into a relationship. But does Hirao giving Nara a key mean they're getting more serious? 5) A Kiss Sweeter Than Honey Takumi's older sister is often brought home drunk by her coworker, Sasaki. But whenever Sasaki comes over he brings Takumi delicious desserts. 6) Innocent Smile Ryou's going off the college and Takafumi's freaking out! - The first (and last) one irritated me but I that's because I really am getting tired of the tsundere types. Ugh. Shut the hell up and let GO of your anger already. Ugh. You know, I can deal with it in the beginning but by the time you've accepted his feelings, it's time to calm the hell down. The others were really really good. I loved the classmates in school and the older sister's coworker the best. They were amazing. The rest really really really good. Rounds out to a solid 4/5

I really enjoyed the first two. The third with the student and professor was a little confusing, but the other two were really good --unkempt boss/subordinate and the coworkers where one has to get drunk (at first) to be able to have sex. Good stories.

The translation needs work. There were definitely parts that didn't come across right. I liked the change to the older brother in the last the story. The first, with the teacher/student... I would have liked to see more development with the suicidal kid and how he got from suicidal and in love with his brother to in love with the teacher. But overall, they were good stories.

I loved all the stories. I actually forgot the second one. First and third were related. Second was a construction worker and architect, but I don't think they were part of the same world. First couple (ch 1 and 2) had a ring exchange! Yay. :) Last was teacher/ student which I thoroughly enjoyed.
