Yane's manga / #cute(436)

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.

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: 8/10 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: 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: 5/10 It's so short it's over before u blink twice. The seme's kinda mean, the art is alright and the smut is ok as well. Forgettable but enjoyable. ROOMMATES, SUMMER Two roommates end up having sex after failing to quickly get their air-conditioner fixed and suffer from the heat.

My rating: 3/10 It has a weird pacing: first the uke just tells us everything that happened to establish a situation where they can fool around and there's a bit of action where they do exactly that. I'm a bit disappointed bc it seemed promising, but it doesn't even really seem completed. DIRECTOR, S&M The uke gets hired as the secretary of an influential director. He falls for him and they start fooling around bc the director finds him cuts and "wants to make him cry".

My rating: 8,4/10 This beautiful and cute romance not only lifts my mood, it also addresses the dark side of being a child actor in a serious but not heartbreaking way. The protagonists growing closer and coming to understand each other better while benefiting from their differences makes this a good read. ACTOR, CHILD ACTOR A popular actor who's bad with children has to live together with the boss's son, a child actor he's gonna star with in a film. But then the child's manager turns out to be the former child actor he admired who quit without telling the reason.
