Yeonwoo (Seme, younger) x Geonho (Uke, older)
This is a pretty funny manhwa. There were many moments that made me laugh at the ridiculousness. Geonho is a very mature character and he is willing to learn about things he doesn't know and doesn't shame Yeonwoo about being gay or anyone else who likes using toys. He is very understanding and wise and that is the reason why his gang members looked up to him so much.
Matthew (seme)(Brown hair) x Jin (uke)(Black hair)
Puppy, younger, innocent seme x Yakuza/Mafia, older, experienced, power bottom uke
I really like Matthew's thought process because you think he is this innocent guy but he is actually kind of cold and only shows his cute side to Jin . And you think Jin is cruel and cold but you have these moments where he seems to understand Matthew and is not so harsh on him. In fact, he kind of encourages Matthew in his own way in my opinion.
Jake (Seme) (Blond hair) x Moon ShinGun (uke) (Black/Brown hair)
Mafia, horny, sensual seme x No nonsense, what did I get myself into, power bottom uke
I like how Shin doesn't immediately think that Jake is handsome or sexy and secretly wanted to hook up with him before he found out who he was. And once he did find out, he didn't immediately fall head over heels in love with him, he just knew he messed up and now he wants to figure out how to get out of this relationship and is scared of Jake.
Katakoka (Seme) (Brown hair) x Odajima (Uke) (Black hair)
This was pretty interesting because you had this tension between the 2 characters and how the seme realized at the end he was actually the uke's first time and immediately proposed to him by saying he will take responsibility. Also the uke's motivation regarding his friend and how his feelings towards the seme complicated his assassination attempt is interesting to read. The story is a bit confusing but will still re-read it.
Makoto (Seme) (Blond hair) x Ai (Uke) (Black hair)
The relationship between the 2 brothers is so messed up yet intimate. It's interesting to see how both of them try to possess one another in their own way whether they realized it or not. And also there were so many plot twist regarding the main characters relationship with other side characters that it will make you doubt every single one of them. Basically you cannot trust anyone in this story, they all have their own version of it.
Food handler (Seme, long hair) x Salaryman (Uke, short hair)
It was pretty cute and kind of realistic towards the end. I loved the way the seme fell in love with the uke and how the uke basically became his passion in life. Also the scene with the seme's mother and him was really touching and how he told her he was finally moving to be with the one he loved and selling the apartment. Very bittersweet moment but the manga ended with a happy ending.
Dragon (Seme, blond) x Prince (Uke, Black hair)
No major kiss or explicit scenes cause this is a shounen ai. I liked how we see the Dragon's viewpoint and how he wants to love but his love will only cause destruction if he is not careful hence why he wanted the Prince whose body is stronger than other humans and takes longer to age. This concept took the Prince a long time to understand but eventually he did and fell in love with the Dragon. Very wholesome read and really interesting.
Hyeono (Alpha, sub top, brown hair) x Gain (Omega, power bottom, black hair)
The uke (Gain) definitely fits into the seme-looking trope and I'm so happy for that. Gain is such a likeable strong no nonsense character and also he is not unreasonable. He will listen without being too stubborn about it. The seme is also very cute. I didn't really like how the seme kept jumping to conclusions and not really listening to the uke first and how both of them got frustrated with each other.
Kento (Seme, black hair) x Issei (Uke, Red-head, athlete)
I really love how Kento just basically kept breaking down when he thought about what they were doing and also how he tried so hard to keep it professional but couldn't do it in the end. It's a really funny manga to read. I think I liked the seme more than the uke here but both are good bois.
Yoshimi (Seme, blond) x Riku (Uke, shaved head)
I really love how Riku was just kept trying to keep his emotions in check and denying himself eventhough he wanted the love he couldn't get from before and how Yoshimi had to basically torture him a bit for him to understand that "Yes you want this so be confident and get it because I love you already so stop saying I don't want this and say you love me too. "
