Liked the 1st. Wasn't satisfied with the 2nd. I think if the chapters were longer, I would've accepted his "sweet declaration" in the end. After all, it's a start that he refused to kiss Mibu after Minato professed his love... I also liked that he confronted Minato immediately when Minato was being tolerant of his flashy behavior. It's easy to think that he'd probably cheat on Minato, too, because even when he was with his ex-gf, he easily went after Minato out of curiosity.. So, you know, it's logical to think that when someone "interesting" catches his eyes, he'd most likely cheat again. So yeah, I really appreciated that confrontation because it showed how he wanted to seriously take on their relationship. It somehow eased my irritation of that scene when he nonchalantly kissed his gf after sleeping with Minato. Well, it's not like he's the only one to blame because Minato knew (and saw) that the seme has a gf yet he still went along his whims. It's just really a disrespectful scene. It's nice that Minato immediately took the courage to confess, but it was too easy.. Meh, well, to each his own. If he's happy and content with that, then who am I to oppose? Hmph!

Really liked the main story.. Not a fan of the one shot stories though. 1st oneshot: Well, they could be using each other.. Like, the uke knew what he did when he somehow used the seme as replacement for his unrequited love, then the seme intentionally got the uke drunk to get some action again.. 2nd one shot: It's very realistic. Both Asaya and Yuu were worried about being rejected and all the complications when they were students so they didn't confess their feelings.. So when they met again a decade later, feelings re-emerge, but unfortunately, Asaya already had a family and Yuu was living with his girlfriend/fiancee.. Asaya tried to make "them" happen since he could no longer control himself, but thankfully, Yuu got back to reality soon enough and clarified that it's already too late for them since there are more people directly involved if they pursued their "mutual unrequited love" if that makes sense. Ugh. Well, sometimes, love really requires timing.. Too bad for them, but even though I like Shounen Ai/Yaoi so much, I still wouldn't tolerate it if they cheated. Well, I mean, basically, they already did cheat because they made out but I can only be thankful it didn't go further. For others, it may not have been a big deal with the other party being the same sex as their partner who "cheated," but for me, the gender or sexual orientation doesn't really matter. Cheating is still cheating. Forgiving cheating is almost impossible in my case, but of course, that would still depend on the character of my lover. If the good things about him outweigh that mistake and he can swear not to do it again (and if he does, it's over, no questions asked), then go.

Ch3 Fetish: Urine (Ch2)

Cheating/Affair | Single Parent Uke | Widow: Ch 6 - The uke had sex with a woman who looked like the seme and got her pregnant. Out of responsibility, he decided to break up with the seme and marry the woman. After six years, the uke comes back with his twins saying his wife died in a car accident ten days ago after a heated argument with him. The uke turned out to be subjected to domestic violence and even the kids knew about it. They call the seme Mawma (mama) because he looked like her and even asked not to hurt their papa (implying they've witnessed the violence firsthand). Filmed/Rape/Blackmail: Ch 5 - The seme liked the uke but could only express it by taking a photo of him while forcing the uke to have sex and blackmail him to continue doing so. The uke liked the seme but admitted that he's assaulted/forced against his will and blackmailed. They got together in the end because the uke thought it was cute how the seme expressed his feelings in an artistic way and accepted his apology and explanation. (Still, just because you like someone or someone likes you, you don't have the right to decide for them and force them against their will even if they'll eventually or gradually like what you did/do.)

Would've loved it more if they were longer. Cute and interesting though, and I liked that there wasn't much drama. It's lighthearted and the art is just beautiful.

Story focused on confessions.
