Yane's manga / #Yaoi(479)

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.

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: 7,5/10 The story is actually better but the translation is confusing. On top of that, the ending is unsatisfying. But as I said, it's interesting, the investigation entangled with the romance is gripping and the art's beautiful. Both protagonists are hot, the uke is determined and the seme is cool. POLICE, RAPE, MURDER A police officer (uke) gets aroused when in danger. One day, he picks up an injured man (seme) and gets raped by him. They stay in contact bc the seme is involved in a murder case and the uke wants information from him.

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: 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.
