Yane's manga / #Romance(730)

My rating: 8/10 The art makes this so much better! They're all hot but the seme really stands out. The plot is good but the end feels a bit rushed/like the end of a season. I want more. The translation isn't the best but it's alright. GOD OF DEATH, FANTASY Since surviving a deathly disease as a child the uke has been accompanied and protected by a large shadow. He always gets into dangerous situations and miraculously comes out unscathed. One day he decides to try and meet the shadow so he tries jumping from his balcony. The shadow appears. He's a handsome man (seme), the god of death. But how long can he protect the uke from his fate to die?

My rating: 9,5/10 This is hilarious, an interesting love comedy with a strong uke and a softy seme. It's fun seeing the uke become desperate after his good luck vanishes. The seme's pitful bringing harm to the humans he loves. But it's wrapped up nicely. This lifts my mood. GOD OF CALAMITY, COMEDY An office worker who's always had good luck suddenly experiences a streak of bad luck. He prays to a jizo to get help. Soon after he sees the cause of his misfortune. A guy following him around, the god of calamity send to balance out his good luck.

My rating: 7/10 It's cute and fluffy. Nothing much happens but I still enjoyed watching them create a happy family. What's interesting tho is that the big difference between a human and a dragon life span gets addressed. This is often ignored. DRAGON, FLUFF The seme has always been fascinated by dragons. One day, he goes into the mountains to investigate the strange experiences his neighbours had and meets a dragon who can transform into a man (uke). The 4th ch contains a bunch of cute short stories.

My rating: 8/10 I love vampires so this got me hooked. At first the seme is uncaring and aloof, the popular jerk, and the uke is loving and soft. But there's some good character development and u get why the seme behaves the way he does. All in all an enjoyable read. VAMPIRE, SCHOOL LIFE The more a vampire likes a human the better their blood tastes. The uke always wanted to be close to the vampire in his class (seme) who's always surrounded by girls. One day, the seme asks him to let him drink his blood. But to make it better he wants to have sex. The uke agrees but slowly realises that he's just food to him. Or is he?

My rating: 9,2/10 Again the author managed to captivate me with their story. The characters feel refreshingly real and not like the stereotypical uke and seme. They could very well be seke. The romance is fluffy, this warms my heart. FARM, FLUFF, FOREIGNER A naive half-Italian, Kokoro (uke), arrives at Haiji’s (seme) village and soon breaks the ice with the villagers due to his friendly personality. Haiji looks out for the touchy-feely Kokoro who lacks life-skills and can’t help but fall for him.

My rating: 8/10 The plot is interesting and the art is good. I like the power dynamic between the uke and the seme, neither of them is just weak or strong. The vampires here are special and form their own society, this could've been more elaborated. It's a good read but it's over way too soon. VAMPIRE, CHILDHOOD FRIENDS A journalist (uke) investigates a mysterious murder case where the victim's blood was coagulated and she had bite marks on her neck. His friend (seme) warns him not to investigate further but the uke doesn’t give up and finds out he seme's secret in the process.

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: 10/10 This beautiful slow burn manages to tell a pure and emotional story in spite of the topics it addresses. The seme discovers the meaning of love and the uke meets someone who loves him back. Both of them are well-written characters with their own individual personality. The art is gorgeous and the characters are hot. PROSTITUTION, EX YAKUZA, AGE GAP After his boss dies for love the seme leaves the yakuza seeking to live a normal live. One day, he meets a beautiful boy (uke) in a bus who pays for his ride. He can't forget the way the uke looked at his lover. But later he finds out that the uke is a prostitute and decides to buy him every day and study with him to make him stop selling his body.

My rating: 9/10 This is a dramatic story about suppressed feelings and unwanted guilt. The way the author portrays these tangled up feelings is amazing and the characters are well-written. Especially the uke's unique, he's free-spirited and full of energy but lacks basic survival skills. I love him. HOST, FRIENDS TO LOVERS They were two close friends with big dreams. The seme wanted to become a soccer player and the uke aspired to be a doctor. But an accident changes their life and years later the seme works as a hairdresser and the uke as a host. This leaves the seme feeling frustrated. Why did his friend throw away his talent? When they move in together the emotions surface.
