Yane's manga / #cute(436)

My rating: 8,5/10 This is so adorable, it had me feeling warm inside. I'm invested even though it's just a oneshot with extras bc the "youthful love" feels so natural and the feelings are well-delivered. HIGH SCHOOL, FRIENDS TO LOVERS Seungbin has a close female friend named Hajeong, it was all platonic until he gets sick in the season of summer and Hajeong visits him in the nurse's office.

My rating: 8/10 This is the perfect example of "opposites attract". They both struggle with their family. The uke's a masochist, very loving and cute and the seme is cold and violent having difficulty expressing his feelings. They help each other bc they're so different. But the uke kinda stalks the seme. MASOCHIST, DRAMA Tsubasa (uke), the distinguished son of a famous musician, has a secret BDSM kink that he struggles to comes to terms with. When he chances upon Masaki (seme), a man who meets people with his fists, will Tsubasa finally be able to understand his own desires?

My rating: 7/10 It's a good, short read with good art. The couple is adorable but the uke's ex is trash. I like how there're flashbacks included explaining their history. The seme's devoted and affectionate not pressuring the uke to love him back. COLLEGE, UNREQUITED LOVE Since the uke tutored him in his 3rd year in hight school, the seme has been in love with him and even followed him to the same university. But the uke already has a lover who treats him badly. One night, the seme finds the uke drunk and crying and takes him home.

My rating: 4/10 This story addresses a serious topic and transforms it into something childish and kinda cringe. I mean, this thing about obsession and trauma had much potential, but the the way it's executed takes the drama away, there're no deep feelings, no angst. The plot holes don't make it better. It's a light read with an energetic uke and a serious seme. ROOMMATES, HANDYMAN A handyman (seme) has taken in a guy (uke) who helps with work in return for a roof over his head. On top of that, they're friends with benefits. And although the uke loves the seme, the seme refuses to date him bc of hid past.

My rating: 8/10 The art is pretty and I really enjoyed the angst. Both their painful pasts are slowly revealed explaining their certain behaviours. It's sweet how they help each other cope with it. In general, I really like the protagonists: the uke's thoughtful and shy, the seme's carefree and confident (but hurt inside). NEIGHBOURS, SEX FRIENDS A college student living alone (uke) gets dragged into the drinking party of his neighbour (seme). But when the others start doing it and the uke and the seme go over to the uke's flat, the seme wants to bring other girls. The uke tells him that he's gay to chase him away, but instead the seme proposes to just do it together.

My rating: 6/10 It's hilarious (if u ignore that it's actually SA even if it's written in a way that makes it funny). The appearances of the uke and the seme are switching. But there's no actual sex and it doesn't feel complete. This can't be the end T_T INCUBUS, DREAM A college student (seme) always fights with his twin sister. One night, an incubus (uke) who targets her gets tricked by his friend and is trapped in the (very horny) seme's dream.

My rating: 8/10 It's interesting to read bc the characters have some depth. The uke puts on a mask fearing to be hated and avoids trouble while the seme is straightforward and energetic. I like how they balance each other out so perfectly. It's cute. ROOMMATES, OLDER UKE An office worker (uke) meets a young man (seme) at a mixer his friend forced him to go to. After that they keep bumping into each other until the seme asks him to let him stay at his apartment bc his burned down. The uke wants to avoid someone as troublesome as him, but takes him in anyway.

My rating: 7/10 It's good. I like the complexity of the characters, especially the seme. He is arrogant and a player but actually has his own problems as well and can admit his weaknesses. The story addresses grief, homophobia and how it affects gay couples. What bothers me tho is the seme's past relationship with the uke's brother. The dude really did the seme dirty just dropping him like that. That's sad and the seme isn't even angry ... OLDER SEME, OFFICE WORKER An office worker (seme) sleeps around with guys. One night, he hooks up with a college student (uke). But he meets him again as the part-timer at his company. He doesn't know that the uke is his dead ex's younger brother.

My rating: 6/10 It's alright but it feels like something is missing. Until chapter 3 there is suspense and it's fun watching the uke desperately trying to hide his identity. But after the big reveal the story just goes on without a good plot line, seems like filler chapters. The uke's bratty and cute and the seme's playful and possessive. BOSS, CROSSDRESSING An office worker (uke) secretary is a famous cosplayer who crossdresses. But then his photographer during an event turns out to be his boss (seme). He tries to hide his identity but can't helped being swayed by the seme's kind side.

My rating: 6/10 The smut's good and there're a lot of sex scenes. The uke's so horny he only thinks about sex at first. They're all rather simple characters: a lewd and energetic uke and a serious seme. The seme's logic for becoming a rent boy's kinda dumb SPOILER: and they won't say how they can get money after quitting their job. RENT BOY, LEWD UKE A rent boy (uke) who chose the job bc he's addicted to sex still isn't satisfied and craves a huge dick. When he hears about his new popular coworker (seme), he wants to sleep with him. And the opportunity arises when a client asks them to do just that in front of him.
