Yane's manga / #Interesting(170)

My rating: 7,5/10 The art is top-notch and the plot is unique. Not only is the uke the unhinged playboy with the childhood trauma, the seme is the one with a tiny dick. It's kinda funny and the smut's hot but the seme gets harassed by the uke. The ending is disappointing, it feels incomplete and cut off. BAR, COLLEGE, STRAIGHT SEME A straight college student (seme) who's kinda interested in gays accompanies his gay friend to a bar to protect him from a notorious playboy (uke). But then the uke takes a liking to the seme, makes him drink and takes him with him.

My rating: 6/10 It's alright but very short and the end feels cut off. The the uke is older and more serious. GUIDEVERSE, YOUNGER SEME A S-class esper gets assigned a male guide (uke) he has a high matching rate with. He's disappointed bc he likes to fool around with female guides but the he witnesses the uke sharing a passionate kiss with another esper and catches interest.

My rating: 7,5/10 The beginning is gripping, their chemistry is good and it all gradually becomes more complex. I like the esper's change in character and that the villain actually has an interesting motive. What disappoints me after this good build-up is the ending tho, it feels too easy. ENEMIES TO LOVERS When a supposedly simple reconnaissance mission goes wrong, C-Rank Guide Chung Leehyun finds himself alone in a sort of no-mans-land, with no way to protect himself from the monsters. But then he runs into Francis Han, an arrogant S-Rank esper from an opposing base. They decide to team up to survive.

My rating: 8/10 This is the perfect example of "opposites attract". They both struggle with their family. The uke's a masochist, very loving and cute and the seme is cold and violent having difficulty expressing his feelings. They help each other bc they're so different. But the uke kinda stalks the seme. MASOCHIST, DRAMA Tsubasa (uke), the distinguished son of a famous musician, has a secret BDSM kink that he struggles to comes to terms with. When he chances upon Masaki (seme), a man who meets people with his fists, will Tsubasa finally be able to understand his own desires?

My rating: 8/10 The art is pretty and I really enjoyed the angst. Both their painful pasts are slowly revealed explaining their certain behaviours. It's sweet how they help each other cope with it. In general, I really like the protagonists: the uke's thoughtful and shy, the seme's carefree and confident (but hurt inside). NEIGHBOURS, SEX FRIENDS A college student living alone (uke) gets dragged into the drinking party of his neighbour (seme). But when the others start doing it and the uke and the seme go over to the uke's flat, the seme wants to bring other girls. The uke tells him that he's gay to chase him away, but instead the seme proposes to just do it together.

My rating: 8,5/10 It's sad and angsty, I love it. The flashbacks telling u about their past give the characters more depth (I still have questions about that tho). Overall, the setup with the uke having to kill the seme lets their love become more dramatic. YAKUZA, ASSASSIN A yakuza member (uke) gets send on a road trip with an influential yakuza (seme) from his clan. But the uke was ordered to kill the seme by his boss so that his boss can inherit the clan.

My rating: 7/10 It's good. I like the complexity of the characters, especially the seme. He is arrogant and a player but actually has his own problems as well and can admit his weaknesses. The story addresses grief, homophobia and how it affects gay couples. What bothers me tho is the seme's past relationship with the uke's brother. The dude really did the seme dirty just dropping him like that. That's sad and the seme isn't even angry ... OLDER SEME, OFFICE WORKER An office worker (seme) sleeps around with guys. One night, he hooks up with a college student (uke). But he meets him again as the part-timer at his company. He doesn't know that the uke is his dead ex's younger brother.

My rating: 6/10 It's alright but it feels like something is missing. Until chapter 3 there is suspense and it's fun watching the uke desperately trying to hide his identity. But after the big reveal the story just goes on without a good plot line, seems like filler chapters. The uke's bratty and cute and the seme's playful and possessive. BOSS, CROSSDRESSING An office worker (uke) secretary is a famous cosplayer who crossdresses. But then his photographer during an event turns out to be his boss (seme). He tries to hide his identity but can't helped being swayed by the seme's kind side.

My rating: 7,5/10 The art's top-notch and overall it's pretty interesting. The smut's hot and I like the uke, he's strong-willed but also has a cute side. The seme is too composed all the time. He only gets emotional when it concerns the uke and he's pretty cold sometimes. And although they have a happy ending, the thing with him forcing the uke to marry him doesn't sit right with me. There's some grave drama included. ROYALTY, ARRANGED MARRIAGE A college student (uke) one day gets a letter telling him to come to a foreign land and marry their king like his grandpa promised. He goes intending to refuse but the king (seme) won't let him go and promises to make him fall for him.

My rating: 6,5/10 It's a cute story with a bit of drama mixed in. The plot isn't that special but it's well written so I enjoyed it. The uke is antisocial and aloof, the seme's extroverted and playful, quite the opposites. I wish the author would've made more of the unrequited love, it's dropped too easily. SCHOOL LIFE, UNREQUITED LOVE A high school student (uke) who has problems dealing with human relationships is secretly in love with his only friend. But then his playful classmate (seme) notices it and offers to help him bc he likes the uke.
