Yume No Kodomo
#introspective. the super long-ass #unrequited love titan of a manga. #age gap of 7 years. #pro writer x student, a BFF's younger brother. #seme who had a difficult love life: left him with trauma on loving and tried to escape his way out of the oasis that he found. #age gap. #drama. wowww, the feels are throwing me left and right. #sister complex, #family issues: i felt that there really something weird between the parents and youji in contrast to how he sticks like a glue to his sister. When I learned about it, it hurt my heart the same way seme shed tears from it. It started from mid-90s so the artwork slowly shifts towards the modern look. But best part of this manga is the story. A very good age gap manga that should be a standard in this genre. A certified classic. A teenaged boy who had a gf suddenly had to live with his sister's friend. From compassion it slowly started developing to love which gave him a lot of confusion. #amazing secondary characters: TBH the character I like the most is the ex-GF's best friend. She's great.
Shizuku Hanabira Ringo no Kaori
Hahah, I love it. It's like a lighthearted version of the Days of our Lives drama, BL version. BTW, this manga is a case of "don't judge the book by it's cover". The art inside is good and it suit the type of story very much and most of all, the story is great. There's a reason why this manga spanned for three volumes. #straight seme x #gay uke. uke had ben gay from the beginning so he shamelessly pursued the seme bec he's so inlove. however seme is straight but miraculously (more like bec. of uke's tenacity) he started responding positively. #first man.
Family Simulation!!
⟫ Family Simulation > Himitsu no Love Sensation (related) NEW w/teenage masaki. Ch. 1-3 & 7: Due to circumstances, poor grad student has to take care of his little nephew but then #reencountered a rich childhood friend (whom he had an "unusual" past with) after a decade at least. Decided to live together for 2 mos to save money but his ass is in danger!. #kind, caring seme x housewife-y uke. .//. ch. 4-6: University lab romance. I thought the first story is funny but this one is funnier! I'm dead at the handsome weirdo's antics. His weirdness is so amusing especially how he pursues the creeped-out younger seme. SYNOPSIS: Now that he's started doing his thesis, Soushi has been working hard. Truth be told, their lab's most brilliant student is a big help to him it's just that the guy is kind of... weird and creepy. And it seems like Takami enjoys perving at him he don't know whyyy.
Koi da Ai da wa Sateoite
First chapter & I'm liking it already lol. Oh the joys of being dead-ass drunk then finding out you are buck naked in the morning: with a guy in bed! Even though you've always been straight... UPDATED SYNOPSIS: MC (seme) only had two favourite things in the world: sex and work. And OFC it's no-brainer that it's the reason his past relationships never worked. So here he is, sloshed and just had another breakup. Then out of the blue, a gay man in the park invaded his life like a whirlwind. And boy, is he (uke) great with giving head. Plus Fuji is as conveniently lusty as he is. And before he knew it, they are already in a hot physical relationship. It didn't take long before the want to go steady came to both. #straight seme (27 yo) x gay uke (22 yo). salaryman seme, bartender uke
Hinekure Chaser
I recommend this to people who like cool (and a little bit of a bully) seme and cute uke pair. The ultra shoujo type of BL from characters down to the story. Somewhat similar to Hidoku Shinaide but the seme here is gentler and nicer. Freshman does his best to get the attention of his sempai even if it means bullying sempai's friend. Sempai misunderstood his intentions and tried to protect his friend. Good thing about them is that when they got together, they inspire growth on each other. I'm just a little bit miffed that the uke is very reliant on the seme and acts like the stereotypical shoujo heroine whose head is full of "emotions & love things". I am okay with immature characters but the way he relies too much on the seme is disconcerting... as if he cannot stand on his own.
Bittersweet Cafe
⟫ Blind Love >Love or Pride > Bittersweet Cafe. 20 years after blind love. Baby megumi's now all grown up and this is his story (backstory of uncle at 'love or pride') and uncle, who had been his parent all this time cannot just simply sit down when there's this stranger who suddenly arrive took his little boy's attention.
Unmei Ja Nai Hito
Pretty cute. One Short story but it's all good things so I'm okay with it. One good (rare) omegaverse where everybody were proactively protecting the uke from harm. Good gentleman alpha too
When the Heavens Smile
Ch. 1: My frustration is that it's TOO SHORT & CUT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORY! sempai uke x kohai seme. Have the potential to be cute but rudely cut ending prevented it. .//. Ch.2: I like this chapter. Boy who has a SHOUJO HEART is actually the SEME. That was precious. .//. Ch.3: Amusing school romance. Cute guy interested with a classmate. Seme is jealous of his own mole. .//. Ch. 4: An okay oneshot? Didn't like it that much. HIghschooler is living at his older childhood friend's place. .//. Ch. 5: Drunken sex. He confesses and sexes his friend up whenever he's smashed but never remember it afterwards and resume life normally. Poor uke lol. Seme's quite stupid but at least he got the point later on. .//. Ch. 6: I like this the most. #paranormal romance oneshot. Classmate can always read his mood. One day he found out that classmate can he his brother. .//. Ch. 7: Aww, cute. Two friends who tried to annoy each other off to mask their (mutual) feelings. Their first time is cute. .//. Ch.8: This is just bittersweet. Remember the elder bro from chap 6? So seme was drawing him at the library and the couple figured out that aniki-ghost was always looking at the librarian. Turns out librarian were former classmates with aniki and had a crush on him once. It's a shame he never got to confess since the aniki died but he needed to move on. And now there's this new guy who is interested.
