Yane's manga / #Romance(730)

My rating: 5/10 It's alright, entertaining but simple, not memorable. The ukes of the first and third story are cute (but naive) and the second uke is stronger. All 3 stories have the popular seme x normal uke trope. I don't like the second seme. HOST, POPULAR SEME 1) The owner of a host bar (seme) pays the uke's debt for him in exchange for the uke working there bc he's his type. 2) The most popular playboy host tries to make his colleague his. 3) The seme goes to a matchmaking service but refuses all his partners bc he just wants to meet the worker assigned to him (uke)

My rating: 8,6/10 This is a piece of art portraying the feeling of forbidden longing in truly aesthetic and beautiful way. It's all about beauty and its inspiration for an artist. They're both possessive but manage to find a better life together. TATOO, ARTIST, MUSE A young tatoo artist (seme) gets commissioned to transfer a popular artist's painting onto the man's beautiful muse and model (uke). The seme can't help but feel drawn to him, but the uke belongs to the artist.

My rating: 8/10 I really like the message: "Too many easy lies can make people lose trust in you". The seme slowly realising that and him changing bc he becomes attached is satisfying. Ut the regret is too short, it's kinda a rushed ending. POPULAR SEME, LIES An office worker (seme) goes through life lying to make things easier. One day, at a party with students from his former university, he meets a student (uke) he likes. He tries to flirt him up like usual but the boy sees through him. He agrees to go out with him for 1 month and then decide whether to stay or not.

My rating: 9,5/10 The way the author portrays the world on the brink of destruction, the emotional turmoil and the regret the characters experience and how all this makes them find together captures me. The seme was an ass, but that makes it more interesting for me. METEOR, SUICIDAL In 10 days, the world will be destroyed by a meteor. The uke decides to spend his last days in the library but meets his ex (seme) from college there who cheated on him. The seme offers to give him a drug granting a painless death in exchange for him helping him dispose of a corpse. SPOILER: The "corpse" is still alive. He's a student who wanted to die. The seme tested the drug on him bc he actually wanted to commit suicide himself. Even though he's rich, his business failed, he regrets not helping his friend before her suicide and also misses the uke. They end up trying to take the student home before the end and meet the younger brother of the seme's dead friend (she was an idol). The brother crossdresses. They change their destination bc the student was a huge fan of the idol and wants to hp her siblings get home. Over time, they grow close and the uke and the seme get back together. In the end, the meteor doesn't hit the earth.

My rating: 7,5/10 The art is top-notch and the plot is simple but written in a way that makes it funny. It's a bit sad tho that the arrogant omega never tells the alpha that he loves him. The alpha on the other side is overly possessive. It's really short so it's kinda rushed. FRIENDS TO LOVERS, MARRIAGE An omega comes back to Korea from America to receive money from his father. But instead, he finds himself marrying his childhood friend who somehow turned into an handsome alpha?! But wait, he doesn't wanna stop playing around with alphas!

My rating: 7,5/10 I'm no fan of blackmail plots but this one isn't so bad. The Dom's controlling and possessive love is shown as something that can drive people away, that's refreshing. The Sub is good-hearted but also speaks his mind. The smut is rather vanilla for a sub/domverse. AGE GAP, TEACHER, ROOMMATES A teacher suppressed his sub traits but then his fiancee leaves and his plans crumble. He meets up with a dom he found on a dating app, but the guy turns out to be his former student who blackmails him into letting him stay in his apartment after they hook up.

My rating: 8/10 This is simple but it makes me feel warm inside. Both characters can leave their issues behind and start over together teaching each other the things they missed. The uke is straightforward and energetic, the seme is very caring but lies to look good. OFFICE WORKER, CLOSETED GAY An office worker (seme) is a closeted gay but tries going out with women. He gets interested in the gay man (uke) he sees at the spot where he meets his fiancee. After she leaves him, the seme gets close to the man. But the uke doesn't want to go out with straight men bc of his ex.

My rating: 1,5/10 I cringed so hard, this is so childish and cliché and they manage to give me a severe second hand embarrassment. ROOMMATES, BAND The uke who's living with his popular hoobae (seme), the singer in a band, jerks of every night thinking about him. But one evening, the seme drinks with him and jerks him off.

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: 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.
