Itoshi no Mirai-kun

Complete | Yoshida Yuuko | 2013 released

uke is the type very much similar to a shoujo heroine -- falls inlove easily, super naive, stupidly innocent, lets himself get used and even defends the perpetrator? ohhh, i'm so pissed at that train molestation story. The first chapters are a chore to read but I feel better when it starts being all about them childhood friends. especially at the time when it's getting obvious that the seme is slowly falling for this naive guy but masking it as childhood friends thing. not for everybody even if it's slice of life.

Kimi ga Koi ni Midareru

Complete | TAKANAGA Hinako | 2011 released

⟫ Kimi Ga Koi Ni Ochiru > Kimi Ga Koi Ni Oboreru > Kimi ga Koi ni Midareru. This story starts and coincides with "Oboreru" vol.2 in the perspective of Kijima and his broken heart. #popular seme - he could get whoever he wants but when it's the one he fell for, he just can't everytime. Nice story, nice art. A kimono dealer was touched by a design and immediately sought the artist unfortunately, the artist is unwilling to publicize his work. It's not in his nature to fail tho. But is seems like that it's not just the artwork that he's come to admire.

I really like this chap. bec this also happens to real-life gay couple. about dreams and work vs love. #reencounter 1 yr after. ch. 5-6: they did not knew each other till now that they were adults. their parents were now dead so they decided to connect. but something developed. and ouch. a bittersweet, painful end as what #incest relationship should be. i'm glad sensei didn't make it fucked up but stay inbetween the fence of morality and guilt. this is the type of incest story i like. #half-brothers #incest. #loser type uke x #kind, caring seme. #younger seme #age gap of three years. ch. 7: guy saved a depressed highschooler freezing on the snow beside the garbage one day. turns out the kid knew that he was beaten by his now ex-boyfriend. #younger seme #age gap, #24-yo textile designer x newly grad highschooler.

Shisen

Complete | Hinako | 2015 released

All I can say is its TOO SHORT. C'mon mangaka, why did you left us hanging like that, ugh. One guy's sad life of being forced to BJ someone. His only oasis is seemingly nice younger brother so he endure the older brother's abuse just so he can have the excuse to go to their home and see the younger bro. To his shock it seems like the younger bro hates him? Too bad older bro figured it out.

First time I see the seme's face I was "WOOOOWWW bishounen!!! *shook. (☆▽☆)<3" yep, starry-eyed like that. manga is stereotypical and nothing ground-breaking but it's not bad to pass time with since it's amusing and got beautiful art. policemen #sempai - kohai, #bickering pair bec. of #opposite personalities. the stereotypical handsome but bully seme and cute and hardworking but a little naive uke.

Porotto Koboreta

Complete | KANDA Neko | 2013 released

〚 Puchitto Series: A story of some friends (and the lovers they gain) whose common point is the gay bar Blue Organ 〛 ⟫ Puchitto Hajiketa > Porotto Koboreta > Korotto Ochita?. It's so cute! And I love seeing seme crying in their moment of weakness. Aw. This is Rui, Akkun's friend's own story. Friction at first meeting. They do not get along but one day, rui kind of pitied the man as he saw him drinking silly his broken heart away. So rui offered a comfort sex and eversince seeing the other guy's cute side that day it seems that he's slowly falling for him.

Korotto Ochita?

Complete | kanda neko | 2014 released

〚 Puchitto Series: A story of some friends (and the lovers they gain) whose common point is the gay bar Blue Organ 〛 ⟫ Puchitto Hajiketa > Porotto Koboreta > Korotto Ochita?. This is the story of the bartender/manager of the gay bar they frequent and the kid that the couple from Puchitto Hajiketa saved. This manga started two years after that time so the kid has grown somewhat. Ashitaka-san, as always never fail to frequent the bar. #seme in-love trying to hold back - maybe it's the age but seme is very reluctant to make a move but actually, manager has been crushing over this cute guy for a while now. plus, the boy is young. # forward uke - he's adorably cute. chases seme in his naive ways but gets at loss when the seme does things. and uke even counts their kisses. lol cute. finished manga. That "extra story" already exists as a oneshot featuring rui, ashitaka's friend - Porotto Koboreta

Yume No Kodomo

Complete | hamada shouko | 1995 released

#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.

Brother X Brother

Complete | kisaragi hirotaka | 2005 released

#stepbrothers through adoption #fake-incest. #inheritance issues: the condition of living together in the house for one month in order to inherit it has it bad for the "brothers" but they get to know each other and eventually treated the other as brothers. #debt: eventually, this movie that the eldest brother and his long-time friend were producing made them end up with debt but they try to settle it together. #family: why this little souichirou brat! ohh i'd wish i was the oldest brother and you. you'd become such a great "cool beauty killer" huh? And it's funny and endearing how he (eldest bro) always cockblocks the two to tease them. *LOL. i want to noogie him so bad! i like semes like him, he's so adorable.
