Yane's manga / #Historical(111)

My rating: 8,3/10 The characters have an interesting backstory and I like the uke, he's strong but not detached and able to get hurt, he's kinda refreshing bc he feels more real. But there're some things left unexplained. HISTORICAL, DEMON The uke has been able to see faes since he was young and is avoided by others. One day, a huge wounded dog appears at his doorstep. He decides to take him in but the dog turns into a demon (seme) who tells him that he searched for him bc he has the soul of the woman who sealed away his powers attached to him.

My rating: 9/10 This is a must-read. After a good build-up with comedy and the quarrelling they fall in love and it's passionate, desperate and dramatic. The seme is a carefree and selfish guy but that's not all, he changes and starts to live honestly. The uke is my favourite character, he's kind but also strong. TIME TRAVEL, SHRINE, SAMURAI When he's chased by the police a samurai jumps into a pond at the shrine promising to live an honest life if he survives. He then finds himself in the bathtub of the shrine's owner's grandson (uke) in the future. They find out that he can only return if someone loves him.

My rating: 8/10 This is a cute historical romance with a sweet and frank seme and a mature uke. U really notice that it's bara, it has a totally different charm. I like how the life during that time is described, the only thing missing is the uke's confession. This love is a bit one-sided that way. HISTORICAL, DRIVER The master of the Inamiya apothecary (uke) employs a new driver (seme) and is really taken with his blunt and honest side. But one day he finds the driver's journal full of texts about him and realises that the main loves him. Since then, he is concious of him.

My rating: 6/10 The whole set-up with the gay training camp is a bit forced the uke's awkwardness gave me second hand embarrassment but it's still very cute and wholesome. 2 chapters are about the other 2 guys in their friend group. For both couples it feels like a proper end is missing. ROOMMATES, FLUFF An antisocial novelist (uke) goes to a training camp for 2 weeks and ends up sharing a room with an extroverted and cheerful guy (seme). But what he doesn't know: this camp is actually a place where gay people gather.

My rating: 7/10 I love the art but the plot is basically just rape in a very unique setting. The seme is a snake man with 2 dicks (and one clearly isn't normal). PARALLEL WORLD, MONSTER During a photo shoot in an traditional old building, a model (uke) gets transported into a parallel world where he meets a snake man who declares him his mate and rapes him

My rating: 5/10 It's alright, they're cute and all that but it's too short to show their romance in a way that'd get me invested. I hate that the villain just walks away. The translation isn't good. SHAPE SHIFTER, AGE GAP, HISTORICAL After their mother gets killed by a tiger, the tiger's big brother (seme) promises to take care of the uke and his sister. 10 years later the sister goes on a business trip and the uke decides to confess his feelings to the seme.

My rating: 7/10 This author has the tendency to make it kinda funny commenting the events through an narrator. And this is so random. The ML's kinda clingy and on the cute side while the FL is rather dominant. The smut's alright, there's basically no foreplay. The ending's a bit disappointing tho. HISTORICAL, SNAKE A snake human (FL) who travels to world to find her lover while devouring humans knocks on the door of an abandoned sex slave (ML). But after a night of fun he insists to go with her.

My rating: 10/10 This is such a beautiful story, it will always hold a special place in my heart. The themes are family, loss, dreams and the sacrifices you make to achieve them. The characters are complex and especially the seme has a character growth. Him coming from a special community of people who live like their ancestors lifts this to another level and allows the story to discuss the question "What is happiness?" RELIGION, BAR, PROSTITUTE An Amish boy (seme) living in America in the 1980s travels to a bar for Rumspringa, a traditional coming-of-age period for members of the Amish community where the adolescent leaves the enclosed religious community to take part in the outside world. There, Theo meets a waiter (uke) who abandoned his dream to be a dancer.

My rating: 6,5/10 This slow burn has a good start but gets boring in the middle. It feels like some important details are missing and the issue with the ex is just dropped. It lacks some spice. The ending wraps it all up nicely tho and the romance is cute. The seme doesn't talk much which makes him seem cold and is very straightforward while the uke is mentally strong and cheeky but also kind. It's yaoi. OFFICE ROMANCE, REUNION The uke was outed against his will in college and suffered a lot. Now, the same thing happens again and he's fired. Luckily, his friend introduces him to a good company, but he later finds out that the CEO (seme) is the guy he suspects of spreading the rumours in the past.

My rating: 7/10 I really like that she doesn't change her attitude like the normal villainesses do, she doesn't turn into someone else. It's pretty suspenseful with her having to change her fate in 1 day. What bugs me is the senseless obsession of the men with the og heroine, this feels a bit cheap. It's a good read tho, entertaining and with an interesting at the end. REINCARNATION, VILLAINESS A duke's daughter (FL) who's engaged with the crown prince realises that she's the villainess of a game 1 day before the og heroine who also reincarnated will defeat her. Now, she has to do everything to prevent that.
