just_m3h's manga / #multiple stories(215)

It's okay? But so annoyed that the semes never get a taste of their own medicine. Especially Hibiki :/ 1: Ouya, who comes back to live, study and work part time with his beloved brother after being separated for 3 years, and Haruka, the guy whom he had a crush on, whom he doesn't seem to recognise, simply because of a change in hair style, aura and glasses. You know what, Ouya is such a ditz, but at least he managed to fight his way out when Haruka forcefully pushed him down. Which, by the way, sucked. Their feelings also seemed to develop out of nothing. Haruka's only from stories he had heard, and Ouya's from a single kiss he got as a high schooler from a complete stranger. Stupid. 3.9 3: I definitely liked the reencounter and long held love kinda feeling this story gives out the most, of the 3 stories here. However, why did this idiot couple waste 3 years on revenge? And moreover, Hibiki always seems to have the upperhand, it's somehow frustrating. Minato is alwys chasing after him while Hibiki is always cold and mean. 3.9 5: Hisaya is a pretty annoying character, all in all. He's nosy, ungrateful and mean. I didn't enjoy it and their feelings felt shallow. Well, maybe not for Takatsugu. But either way, the confession came out of nowhere, and so did Hisaya's acceptance. It was just stupid 3.4

Chap 1: Story about the only two smokers left at work, who are in different departments, but take their smoke breaks together. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yauki is such a devil,I love the way he handles Fujisawa. Fujisawa was so cute and desperate, making up all those lies, just so he can see him. And that confession, ugh. He though it was sweet, but in reality, it was bitter, he tried to quit so many times, what has been done to him, etc, aaaah! Lovely. Yuaki's response was spot on. But everyone should just quit smoking. And this should get at least 5 more chapters (and a sextra *.*) 5* Chap 2: "I have failed to become 1 of 7.2 billion, I am but 1 part of 1 whole solitude." A story about a being who can only eat dreams and someone who thinks his lonely heart has nothing to offer. Beautiful and bittersweet. Loneliness recognises loneliness, I guess. Really would love a full length story on this. 5* Chap 3: A sudden change in the feel of this collection, with this one. Can't say I really liked that. Hasegawa, who is a seasoned shoemaker, and the man who travelled the world learning how to make shoes, so he can become an apprentice for Hasegawa. I don't really like Hasegawa? How condescending and dismissive he was, how quick to raise his hand, didn't even accept his clear responsibility for causing that misunderstanding. Nah. 4. Barely. Chap 4: Story about an artist and his unsuspecting muse. This was far more in line with the original theme. Though, I wish Isozaki had explained his reasoning instead of doing, at times cruel, things to make Andou go red. Glad he finally admitted nothing could compare to the real thing. But so, so disappointed there's no confession. Totally ruins it for me. Loved Andou's crew, though. Wish there had been more of them. Story could be a bit more fleshed out as well. But overall, was a unique plot. 4.4* Chap 5: Story about a kohai who keeps messing up his desk on purpose so that his senpai will notice him. Also fits in with the theme. Aoki is such a kind supervisor and Matsuda is exactly the kinda gentle and smart but at times mean seme, I enjoy from time to time. I love how Matsuda bullied Aoki in to lettting him pay, definitely wanna see more of that! The way Matsuda rebuffed and answered his every insecurity made my heart sing. I long for that! This needs to be a full story! 5* Overall : 4.68

An assortment of shitty rape stories... is what I was going to say. But that would be extremely unfair to the last story. 1: Kei, who hated all betas because he was jealous of them, and Mei, who pretended to be a beta in highschool. Story revolves around how Mei pushed Kei into a corner by isolating him, fueling his gambling, and leaving him neck deep in debt. Mei is the epitome of a shitty, entitled seme/alpha. I hate it so much! His reasoning is defunct, man. Sure, Kei isn't the nicest character around, but he's far from terrible and certainly, has lived a sad life, and deserves better. Also, I just plain do not like mangas with gambling addicts. 3.3 12: Hyun Jung seduces his supervisor, Shi Woo, then uses nepotism to blackmail him into sleeping with him, whenever he wants. This fucker's like "I'm not raping you, just using my nepotism to blackmail you (over the time I dragged your hammered ass to a hotel for sex), and make you do something sexual that you clearly said you don't want to do”. I mean, I'm not about to take the high road after all these dubcon and noncon yaoi I've read (some of which I have even enjoyed), but let's all call a spade, a spade, yeah?! And the training abroad thing is also so lacking in body autonomy and consent, this manga is just out to rape this guy in every which way possible! I don't find this funny or entertaining. 2.2 23: This one is so intriguing and plot heavy, it feels so out of place in a collection like this. I only wish there could be a couple more fluff and switching chapters to make up for all the hardships and suspense in the bulk of the story. Min Hae-il is a gambling addict (or is he???) who gets saddled with taking care of Suh Lim, the kidnapped rich guy, who's being questioned on the whereabouts of some documents connecting his brother to multiple corruption cases (his brother is the one trying to keep Suh Lim in check, because he knows too much, and everyone is aware of the fact). The amount of little side plots and character development here amazes me, honestly. You hardly find that in a 10 chapter yaoi. I love the twists, and honestly, some the side characters were top notch as well. Suh Lim got really lucky he was surrounded by good people who cared about him. The way Suh Lim grew as a person was staggering. I love this story!! 5 Overall : 4 Edit: sequel for last story is right here!!

Internet too slow, cannot load, will have to come back for the last one some other time. 1: Uke hero worships Ryu, the legendary delinquent, and works to glean every bit of information about him after he disappeared 2 years ago. Bit fucking disappointing, the way the uke glosses over the rape because it was someone he idolised. I don't like stupid ukes, anyway, and this one isn't exactly the brightest crayon in the box. Seme is trash. 3.5 2: Uke is the student council president at a prestigious private high school, but has a secret he is only too happy ro have one of his subordinates discover. This one's a bit more balanced than the forst, tbh. Though, the uke is kinda predatory and gross. But overall all right because seme held his own in some occasions. 4 3: Uke is a foreign exchange student from a tribal nation, who is staying with the Japanese seme. This obsession with the foreign 'other', the sexualisation and invention of strange cultural practices worries me a little, because it doesn't feel quite as benign as 'Mother' did. It was mostly okay, though. I'm so suprised with the way seme and uke roles tuened out. 4 4: Another foreign exchange student from the same tribe, this time the seme wants to learn about the 'dominant husband' culture in Japan and tame it back to his matriarchal society, like, wtf? Couldn't finish because of slow internet.

Me everytime: Oh, let me read that one chapter where Also me: Reads the whole thing :/ This is near impossible to put down. This is Japanese manga at its finest. It's so, so good. So much more interesting than many of those pretty boy webcomics

The Sato story (yus!yus!yus!)

1: Well, the seme is really obnoxious and I feel really bad for the uke, but... they're in love. And Enami *does* love Tada, make no mistake, he just does it in his own twisted way. Ahhh. So conflicted. 2: A lonely assistant professor and a lonely hairdresser. Two people from different walks of life come together to complete each other 3: Friend 1 comes out AND confesses within a short period of time. Then, BAM! Sex. I'm sorry. That really is what happened.

Yagisawa tried to rape the uke! Rape him! The boy was underage and psychologically vulnerable! But somehow, everyone's hating on the Seme (who, yes, admittedly, is an ***hole) and the couple it self, saying stuff like "they shouldn't be happy together" and shift. Like, no, f*** you! The uke deserves to be happy!

1: The one about Seong Chubhyang, the hottie playboy who is loved by the residents of Namwon Village. Well. Not really about him. More about the uptight governor (Byeon Hakdo) who imprisoned him, and the secret agent playboy (Lee Mingryong) friend of Seong's who comes to rescue Seong by distracting the governor, but instead falls in love with the governor, just like the governor fell in love with him. Small side story about the young man who finally gets Seong to look only at him. It was funny and I enjoyed the sex somewhat, but it's still crack and the art is not exactly to my taste 4.3 5: About prince Pyeonggang and his bet with his dad (the king) to use his knowledge (of BDSM, lol) to make someone into a useful, worthy person. Topping from the bottom kinda situation. Again, fun, but nothing special. 3.8 9: About the prince who is trapped in the castle by his overbearing father and the tailor hired to humiliate him during his coming of age ceremony, to teaxh him a lesson and mend his promiscuous ways. Twist on Emperor's Clothes. Was okay, nothing special, but enjoyed how smart the prince was. Also glad he got out. 3.8 13: Continuation of Ch 1 15: About Snow White, who covets his dead father's paramour, and threatens to bed him. The paramour is regent I the meantime and tries to get Snow white killed many times, in his fear. Some amnesia and life threatening accidents thrown in, for good measure. The whole collection is weird but this was- wowee! 3.2 23: About poor liblnely hook and Peter, who's a bit of a presumptuous dick, who definitely has some growing up to do. Also a London detective with some strong morals, a nosy merman and one smart Darling kid. This one actually made me feel something, the forst in the entire collection to do so. I felt his longing and his long wait mad me sad. Glad things worked out. And so surprised to see consent and pedophilia being addressed. Reluctantly impressed 4.4 27: Little merman, the usual stuff, no major twists. It was okay? Boring and forgettable. 3.5. 32: Spin on Beauty and the Beast, with a slutty Belle. It was really cracky, like full on, some loose ends as well. 3.6 35: A really, really strange and convoluted story about a lumberjack who stole an Asgardian warrior's cloths to sell for food, thus stranding the warrior in Earth for a while. Some bits about a peeping tom were thrown in, and some just, generally really odd plot developments. Man, what was the mangaka smoking?? Loved the ending, though 4 39: About the dragon king who is fed up with the asexual fish surrounding him at the palace of the sea, and sends for the magician on land whom he has seen in Playing Boy magazine, and is enamoured with. Only, the failing magician falls for the kind sea turtle and runs off with him. The king kinda lets them go. The couple steal some things from the treasury and open a magic performing company on land. It was crack, obviously, but not bad. I liked them together. And the turtle sure is smarter than I initially gave him credit. But I wish he hadn't swiped the entire treasury... 4.1 44: About the dragon king and the seemingly disinterested octopus. I don't know about this one. I was most looking forward to this out of the whole collection, but it was really just too short. Very disappointed. Also wish the octopus would be a bit nicer from time to time. Also want him to be jealous sometimes and have him grovel, too. 4.4 46: About warring clans (bear and tiger) who are visited by a meddling sorcerer (?) slimeball, who has an eye on the rep of the bear vlan and wants to humiliate and isolate the rep of the tiger clan (feelings were previously developing between them). This one isnt complete yet but I already can't stand it, because I just finished Rosehaven and there are just too many parallels? From the slimy fair haired villain, to tying the bottom (I think) to a tree to publicly humiliate him. Makes me so angry!! 3 Edit: So the bear came to his rescue at the last minute, but he never even apologised. Next :/ 50: Little red riding hood who is too pretty for his own good had to learn to be strong enough to ward off advances and defend himself. He meets a shy and soft wolf with a hulking figure on his walks one day. It's so bad. The writing is so shit. 2.5

It's not treated like rape, not sure why. The uke doesn't really seem to see it that way? It's not like Hidoku Shinaide or many of those problematic mangas that acknowledge the rape but continue to push the forgiveness narrative or completely ignore it as the story progresses. Renya's already hooked before the second time they have sex and he's in love with Azuma. Ngl, I'm conflicted about this. I might like this one. Edit: 1: Still problematic but just cracky and SEP field-y enough to make it work 4.5 3: About a virgin teacher who loves reviewing sex toys and a student in love with him. Student X Teacher stories are always difficult, though it helps that the teacher isn't really in a position of authority and the student takes the lead. 4 4: A BDSM relationship, where they're still trying to figure out each others needs. Some surprisingly (in my asian perspective) western BDSM elements in there. But the misunderstanding kind of ruins it a tiny bit. Also, this isn't really my kink, this kind of constantly mean dirty talk. I need it to be peppered with some praise and tenderness. 4.4 5: Why is this even here??! About a clan of demons that can trigger mpreg through the combined power of a bite and coming inside someone, regardless of gender. At first, it looks like they raped some poor unsuspecting member of a rival clan and left them pregnant. Much body horror, ughh. Then, one of them rapes the other, and they end up fleeing together to gjve birth and raise the kid, because apparently, inflicting that on your own people is a crime (but everyone else is fair game? Wow). Really honestly just hated it, including the fact that they just keep sweeping all this rape under the rug. 2
