Monetary Love
3.2.2021 ch 7 The story’s seme is an impulsive puppy yakuza that goes all psyco ehen the people he cares for get in trouble or slandered. Weirdly enough, he starts out kidnapping the uke and then hires him as a personal prostitute, only to wait until the uke gives his consent for penetration (which comes months later). Lateron, the uke Yanai joins the yakuza organisation - most probably because he doesn’t feel like regular people anymore and find the seme comforting. He then works as the kashira’s secretary, and ”marries” the seme. 25.8.2024 ch 10 It is hard to live as a yakuza. No shit.

13.1.2021 The last story, of the two salarymen, was the best story imo. Sincerely confessing and asking someone to be your lover by the elevator while you’re wearing morning stubble and a hotel bathrobe... could it be more desperate and genuine? The way his lover just breaks down there in front of him, that really conveyed the whole ”I thought I could never ever have you”-feeling of the scene. The main couple, about the designer who after many years finally is reuniged with his high school crush and muse... worked itself out nicely. It was good that the mangaka drew both charachters’ POV, becaue the way the seme was acting all shy and depressed from not being more confident was getting a bit weird. The enemies to lovers story REALLY would have been nice to have ended on a better note than ”they started dating 2 months later”
3 Hours Love Hotel = You're Mine
14.2.2021 A tropey office romance story where the salaryman and the office lady he’s crushing on and trying to have notice him....just dislikes him and basically just wants to outdo him at work. Because of this, the beginning of the plot is filled with miscommunications, only to later be resolved by them realizing how they work better at work TOGETHER. Our ML is really possesive: he can’t keep his fingers away from the FL, and when they both happen to have the titled 3 h to spend waiting on a buss, and fool around at that love hotel, he doesn’t try penetrative sex at all. Not then, not later, not until she comes running to his apartment one evening and heartbrokenly ask why he’s transferring away and leaving her, saying she’ll follow him...that’s when they both have consensual sex. Before that though, they did intercrurial sex IN THEIR BOSS’ OFFICE BECAUSE ML IS FRIKKIN JEALOUS OF THE ATTENTION FL IS GETTING FROM SAID BOSS. So, our ML is trying to convey how sincere he is sbout her, but they’re both tsunderes, so...

25.2.2021 This one, although I have NO IDEA about the original works, was actually really good. They actually felt bellievable as a couple just starting out, still being nervous about one another. One’s a bit of a tsundere, and the other one a bit of a loyal puppy (cat uke x puppy seme....) but they did feel like they could work.
