Red Theatre

Complete | OGAWA Chise | 2000 released

why the freak is this rated so looooww?!! I skipped this becoz of the rating and comments, but this is defo my cup of tea, everyone is just so messed up and demented but not messed up just to be edgy and different from other stories, the narrative for this is just bliss, sometimes it seems the pacing is too fast, but all in all I am still satisfied. This one is truly a psychological trip, a lot of possessiveness and obsession for careers, ambitions, other people. Yet another reason why I put sensei in such high regards, they're really able to pull off this kind of stories well, matter of fact I actually prefer it to their fluffy ones (tho I still enjoy those a lot too). On a different note, in the earlier chapters, the seme and uke really reminded me of the older brother and the uke from sensei's other work "Gosan no Heart" and not just the character design, the behavior too coz the uke there is also possessive and clingy, and the older bro (tho he's also an uke) is also the obsessive sort that knows how to play it cool for appearance.

oh my goodness this is soo nice ekekekek a rare, properly made tsundere seme, who's also not a prick just because he can't express his thoughts properly. And the uke is so confident but earnest at the same time, it's such a nice combination, he's also highly positive but not presented as an airhead, that's good in my books. Also, I like how they strive to make the relationship work in their own way after its established, no turning into a different character all of the sudden, like the seme is still a tsundere so when he flirts, the uke doesn't even realize it lol. Everyone is so likeable, and I like how the brother is not paired with someone and is just existing like how a snake-based deity should, it's so fun, also the pit viper servant compliments the story well too, no thrown characters or plot or motives, everything makes sense, even the lore backing up the whole sacrificial thing. Still can't get over that goat as one of the Uzumaki sacrifice, like did some ancestor really did it with a goat and it conceived it as the eldest born? or was it just the uke being delirious from being nailed for a few days straight? lmao. Definitely looking forward to the sequel, I think they're gonna have a kid at some point coz apparently it's possible, can't wait how this continues.

My Dear Agent

Complete | Ebino bisque | 2019 released

so, so good with both likeable seme and uke who are complex int their own ways and just feels so dynamic in their actions and drives. Genuinely enjoyed reading this, one of those works that I didn't want to end.

Link and Ring

Complete | Tsuyuki yuruco,Home-sha inc. | 2019 released

Really cute and really fluffy. Though the main couple is lovey-dovey they don't make you cringe, you just feel good witnessing their lives unfold through the pages. So good. I like that they have such a healthy dynamic and complements each other so well, great communication from both ends, and both are willing to compromise for the other, heck the seme even went first and tried to be the bottom so the uke will not be strained instead of forcing the uke to bottom like most yaois. I also like that the side couple's story is literally left up to the readers imagination, there's high chance for romance but nothing is ever confirmed in that one shot, they could also end up sailing smoothly into their happily ever after like the main pair, but they could also have drama and angst specially considering the potential uke's preferences and behavior.

Veggie Channel

Complete | Tsugaru | 2016 released

it's rated lowly but tbh, it's not bad at all, I actually like it, but to those interested, consider the other comments coz it rings true. This isn't a typical BL, the story is set on the perspective of a mob character, a fudanshi, who gets intertwined in the affairs of 2 other students, so the plot is voyeuristic which I do like, there's only one other manga that I know which has a similar lens (the plot is also kinda similar except that one is a semi love triangle betwen uke x seme x pov mob) but that one I can only rate 4 at most, this one, tho not exactly a masterpiece, I really did enjoy, I was drawn into the drama of the whole thing, and the MC is likeable enough and even relatable at times, so definitely 5/5 for me.

Home (TSUYUKI Yuruko)

Complete | Tsuyuki yuruco | 2018 released

this author is really good at making smooth and mellow conflicts, the right amount of tension that doesn't drag on so when the pair finally consummate, it's so worth it and everything's all good. It's a comforting read. I like that the uke did not sexualize the seme when he was a kid and only even realized his (romantic) love for him years later, I thought this was gonna go through the shota/pedo route, thankfully it didn't. The interactions between the pair when the seme was a kid was really wholesome, they love each other, but it was more of a strong friendship kinda bond, I think it's the absence from each other (tho they do keep contact) through the years that made that warm feeling evolve into desire and even romance. All of the works from this author that I've read have been rated 5 stars thus far, it's just so good how they present the plot, plus the art style is so good too.

Torokeru kaikan sokuochi akuma

It's pwp but it's fluffy and hot. Demon uke goes to human world to do his duties eventho the other demons don't bother with that stuff anymore, he meets human seme who asks to sleep with him as a last wish. Both ended up liking it, A LOT. Bada bing bada boom, demon uke is now in the human world together with his newfound lover.
