Yane's manga / #Romance(730)

My rating: 7,5/10 It's pretty cute, a happy space. The uke falls first and he falls for the character, I love how he describes the seme. He's also the "dominant" one (in a healthy way). It's refreshing. But I like the spinn-off even better, it's hilarious. CALL OUT HOST, FLUFF After his girlfriend four-times him the seme calls a call out host service in a drunken haze. Soon a young man arrives (uke). After clearing up the misunderstanding they start to talk but then the uke initiates sex and asks to become friends the next morning. Ch 4-5: The bar owner picks up a spoiled rich brat (seme) who got kicked out by his parents. But then the guy wants to fuck.

My rating: 4/10 It's just like the old yaois with an emotional and passionate seme and a beautiful but kinda cold and obsessive uke. Idk, I don't really care about the characters somehow. And this rapey start throws me off. EX HOST, STEPBROTHERS After having a huge debt pushed on him the seme returns to his family's house he ran away from 7 years ago. He encounters his stepbrother (uke) who surveyed him all this time and asks him for money. But the uke wants for him to live with him again in return.

My rating: 8/10 This is incredibly cute. Sure, there are embarrassing moments but overall it's just heart-warming fluff. The uke uke is cute and has some dog-like behaviour. The seme's a nice guy. The smut shows that they're in love. SCHOOL LIFE, SHAPE SHIFTER The uke turns into a pomeranian when stressed and only turns back after taking his medicine or being pet. He loves his popular classmate (seme). One day, he bumps into the seme on his way to school and turns into a dog. That's when the seme decides to take him to his demented grandma to help her.

My rating: 10/10 This is a beautiful story about growing up, bullying, abuse and neglecting parents, falling in love and learning to stand on your own. The character development is immense, Heechan's in particular. The slow burn gets u involved and it's so well-written it gets me emotional every time. There are some predictable parts but this doesn't make it any less perfect. SCHOOL LIFE, ABUSE Jin Hyuk, a model student living alone in a big apartment, one day witnesses Heechan, the leader of the bullies in his class, being beaten by his father in a shitty neighbourhood. Heechang notices him too. This marks the starting point of a long relationship.

My rating: 8,3/10 It's pretty cute. Sumire falling for his pretty senpai, the senpai finding someone with pure feelings for him, they're an adorable couple. And Sumire is just such a good-hearted person. But the senpai's popularity seems a bit over the top. SCHOOL LIFE, POPULAR SENPAI When Sumire transfers to a new school he encounters the school "madonna" a popular, beautiful guy who seems to be a lone wolf. But he takes a liking to Sumire after he tries to defend him during a fight. They get close and one day, his senpai kisses Sumire.

My rating: 8/10 The art is top-notch and the romance starts with a (careful) seduction. It's a younger puppy seme x older mature uke pairing and I love it. Loving the uke helps the seme turn his life around. SPOILER: But the uke is traumatised so at first the seme has to tiptoe around him. I don't like how the murder case didn't get solved. THIEF, EX COP, YOUNGER SEME A thief (seme) gets caught stealing a wallet by another man who forces him to return it and to apologise. On top of that, he forces the seme to work at a book shop for 1 day in exchange for not handing him over to the police. Out of anger, the seme breaks into his house the next day but realises that he's an ex cop. He tries to distance himself but then he hears something about the uke's past that he can't get out of his head. SPOILER: The uke's former partner (at work) got murdered by criminals who waited in his home and wanted revenge. The uke was the one to find his corpse and quit working as a coup after that thinking that he was unfit for the job bc he couldn't protect his partner. He's traumatised and at first couldn't even go into his apartment. That's why, when he finds out that the seme is the one who broke in, he gets really angry. But he forgives him after seeing his sincere regret.

My rating: 9,6/10 This makes me tear up. It's so sad and beautiful, 2 lonely souls yearning for love finding and saving each other. They're so different and yet so similar. The seme's story in particular is tragic. The art is top-notch. ASSASSIN, BLIND 5 years ago, the seme's brother died in front of his eyes bc the seme couldn't fulfill his mission and kill the target like his father wanted. He still can't forget the nearly blind boy (uke) who took his hands without realising what was going on back then. Since then, he hasn't been able to kill anybody. But one day, he meets the boy again. And he can't help but get close to him.

My rating: 8/10 It's an enjoyable read with a bit of drama, a bit of comedy and a cute romance (I u count that rapey stuff at the beginning out). The seme's a playboy yakuza boss and really eccentric ready to enjoy life. The uke's a normie, really cute. YAKUZA, TAXI DRIVER After saving a wounded man who entered his taxi by helping him escape, the man comes to the uke again declaring that he will repay him. He turns out to be a yakuza boss. After the uke doesn't react to the prostitutes he brought, the seme takes him upstairs and has sex with him instead. Since then, the uke has to accompany him on various (scary) occasions.

My rating: 8/10 I like the drama, these intense and conflicted emotions make it interesting, wanting to know when the uke will find out keeps u going. The ending is too rushed tho and so the seme had a rapid change of character bc of a 5-year time skip. The art's beautiful. HISTORICAL, REVENGE 10 years ago the seme's parents were killed and his village burned down by the king bc the king's mistress hid there with her son (uke). Years later, the prince (uke) comes to him without recognising him searching for herbs to heal his friend. The seme decides to take revenge and kill him.

My rating: 3/10 It's ridiculous and unrealistic, the yakuza doesn't work like that and there's no s&m either. It's entertaining tho, like trash TV. The seme's possessive and jealous and the chapters are short so it's over quickly. YAKUZA, HOUSE KEEPER The uke wants to resign bc he gets exploited but when he enters the director's office, he meets yakuza collecting debt. The director takes the chance and offers him to their leader (seme) in exchange for more time revealing that the uke's gay. That's how he ends up as the seme's house keeper.
