Comments of Between the Sheets (HASHIMOTO Aoi)

and here I am, re-reading this manga for countless times while waiting for the update

So I had the fortune of going to Japan and bought a bunch of yaoi even though I can't read it. This was one of the ones I got and I love it! Too bad there's only one translated chapter. I would of liked to know what the whole story was :/

Ichise is the entitled and ebullient president of a hotel chain, and he becomes enamored of a bartender, Aoba, who runs a small establishment and likes to keep his distance from customers. But Ichise is breaks down his defenses by luring him with dates at high-end restaurants.

This manga is a delightful hot mess, although not because there is anything particularly outrageous about it. Initially I was sure I was going to give it 4-5 stars for its characters, the dynamic in the relationship, and the fact that it was building a nice story about sex friends who become lovers. However, while the things that I like about this story remained throughout, it became downright sloppy in its pacing and storytelling after a strong start. The vascillation between being sex friends and lovers doesn't track the actual development the manga shows in its characters, and so in the middle it appears to be going in circles. While the ending is satisfying, the buildup it establishes in the first two volumes gives way to a "hot and cold" dynamic that is inconsistent and stagnant.

There is still a lot to enjoy in this manga: a uke who loves sex, the setup, and the hot sex scenes. Nevertheless, this is an example of what could have been an exemplary story ruined by bad pacing (a good editor could have fixed this). I recommend checking this out for excellent smut featuring a fun couple of characters who, even when the story becomes repetitive, are still fun to watch. No rape/dubcon

ah!!!!!1 eu gostaria de ler o restante da história é linda me interessou muito quero saber como vai terminar

so edgy, good art and reserve...the story is cool and easy..i like this manga

Took 10 years for chapters 2-6 to come out lol

get fucking ready for a nosebleed

OMG. I totally loved. The sex scenes are so hot! The couple is hot. Fell hard for Ichise, I want more lol. Def. One of my favorites.

Bartender który nie umawia sie z klientami. I dyrektor firmy który nie odpuszcza. . Zostają sexprzyjaciółmi. Ale zakochują sie w sobie

Read volume 1 only, rest doesn't feel worth it, couple is kinda boring...

Too tsundere, too slow but kinda cute still
Dropped

Why is the uke so half assed when giving ichise an i love you?? Its a cute story, it is, but my pet peeve is just that ichise is always the one that makes the move yknow. It makes it seem like the bartender is a pillow princess in their relationship and it personally is not my cup of tea. I HATE THAT HE WHINES WHEN THE SEME DOESNT GO TO THE BAR BUT REJECTS HIM EVERYTIME LIKE. I dont know abt you but that's narcissistic behavior to me. When he craves for his affection but turns him down everytime. Ichise is the one that makes the relationship progress and thats not good because it need to be both of them or ichise will probly get tired from all of this. I feel bad for the seme.

uke's fucking annoying and doesnt deserve the seme at all pls cut the tsundere bullshit it's getting old...god all of the mangas ive read today are just pissing me off

dropped v1 bcs i can NOT stand the uke lol he is so annoying like ?????? communicate like an adult bro PUT SOME EFFORT IF YOU LIKE HIM dont lead him on fr the seme is sincere but the uke is never upfront abt his feelings :////

feels like takafumi doesnt deserve ichise… the lack of communication between them bothers me so bad

« » pairing — ceo hotel owner x bar owner

— this is just sooooo adorable. i love me some mr. president too.

Idk for me the plot wasn’t really there and too much damn wording that sorta kinda made no sense! Smut was great but I wasn’t feeling the uke at all
