Yane's manga / #Romance(730)

My rating: 9,7/10 This is a masterpiece. I liked the slow burn and the sexual tension, it portrays two close friends falling in love really well. Each character's unique and the comedy is good. It all just seems so natural. FETISH, FRIENDS TO LOVERS The uke, a poor student living with his sister, and the seme, his rich playboy classmate, are best friends. But when the seme watches the uke take off panty hoses he accidentally put on, his leg fetish gets triggered and he starts caressing the uke's legs.

My rating: 4/10 I'm not really a fan of age gap stories not addressing this issue, especially if they're about a teacher and a student. The teacher here just has no boundaries and the student is too pure to access the situation. Nah ... puts me off. AGE GAP, NURSE, SCHOOL LIFE A school nurse (uke) transferred to a school in the countryside to escape his stalker. There, he meets a mature-looking student (seme) and his friends and somehow ends up helping the seme masturbate.

My rating: 9,1/10 This is amazing, full of emotion. It's heavy as it deals with rape (not by the seme) and bullying. The seme's really a sunshine, he saves the uke who's traumatised by his past. I love the side couple, I want more of them. RAPE, TRAUMA, SCHOOL LIFE A easygoing student (seme) one day accidentally catches the stern and reserved honour student (uke) smoking. He's fascinated by his hidden side and manages to become his friend, but then a guy shows up the uke seems to be really afraid of.

My rating: 8/10 The uke gets abused by his father, but there's no angst and their romance is cute. They start of fighting which turns into making out later. They're a good match. DELIQUENT, SCHOOL LIFE The seme one day has an argument with two girls over his lunch at the school cafeteria and they take him to their deliquent friend (uke) who takes his lunch from him. Since then, they're frequently fighting, but then the seme touches the uke's neck and he makes an erotic sound.

My rating: 7/10 It's interesting cuz u get an unrequited love from the loved one's pov. Though he's just not aware of his feelings I guess. Pretty cute with a energetic seme an antisocial and serious uke. FRIENDS TO LOVERS, WORKING ADULT The seme always tells his childhood friend (uke) about his failed relationships not knowing that his friend has been in love with him for 10 years now. But one day, he sees hickeys on his back and starts to wonder If he has a girlfriend after all.

My rating: 4/10 That was clumsy and corny. There were plot holes and the uke went on and on about this "nostalgic feeling", he was kind of a drama queen. TEACHERS, SECOND LIFE The uke is a teacher and friends with his colleague, the seme. One day, he discovers a story about two students from the past written by an anonymous person, a story completely identical with one he finds in the library from the long forgotten past. And he and the seme feel connected to it.

My rating: 1,4/10 This was just cringe. The seme reminded me of the guy's in straight harem mangas and they were overall just horny idiots. The heavy topic of prostitution wasn't dealt with well. Read this like you watch trash TV. PROSTITUTION, REUNION The uke is working in the sex industry at a 'Hole Wall Speciality Shop' to get money quickly, to pay his debt when he accidentally is discovered by an old classmate (seme) who decides to help him escape that life.

My rating: 7,5/10 I really liked this. They're so hot, especially the seme and their romance isn't as easy as it first seems cause there's a little twist in the middle of the story. The uke is positive and likable. But prostitution is portrayed in a (too) positive way. PROSTITUTION, DECEPTION The uke is a callboy who works in the sex industry to feel accepted. He's also a part-timer at a diner and has a crush on one of his clients there. One day, this man sees him kissing a man. But then he unexpectedly shows up again at his client at his job as a prostitute.

My rating: 7/10 I like the writing style, the characters and the art. But their relationship IS a bit disturbing to me. I mean, they became lovers as soon as they met again even though the seme was a child when they said goodbye. This just doesn't feel right ... AGE GAP, NOVELIST, REUNION A gloomy novelist who lives a secluded life (uke) one day meets a young child (seme) who comes to his house and they grow really close. But then the child moves away and they don't see each other for 10 years.

My rating: 8/10 They're hot, especially the seme. He's mature and a good guy who manages to really seduce the uke without raping him (I know this should be the given, but in BL ...). It's interesting seeing the uke realise his own sexuality. HOT SEME, OFFICE WORKER, MIXER An successful office worker who doesn't admit yo himself that he's gay meets a hot guy (seme) at a mixer. The seme approaches him but the uke rejects him. But after he takes the drunk uke to a hotel, things take a different turn.
