9,7/10
It's really interesting bc it's not only a twisted romance but also about the Russian mafia and the fight for power. The uke is strong thinking for himself and not giving up in front of someone as messed up as the seme who's violent and obsessed. They each have an interesting backstory.
MAFIA, OBSESSIVE SEME
A poor lawyer visits the City Councilor to protect his client's factory from him. There he meets a man who turns out to be a mafia boss and the councillor's supporter
4/10
The idea is great, but they take being horny too serious here. Did he even think about betrayal? It seems like the author wasn't really well informed about the real yakuza. It's quite naive.
YAKUZA, REENCOUNTER
In order to keep a conflict between his clan and another gang from escalating, the uke offers his body to a high ranking yakuza from the other clan. But why does he seem so familiar? And is that really all the uke has planned?
10/10
This really catches my interest: prostitution, crime scene, agents and the complicated relationship between a student and his former teacher. This setting screams for drama. The uke is a queen.
HITMAN, PROSTITUTE, DARK
The uke has to work as a prostitute after being kicked out by his stepfather. One day, his former mother teacher (seme) enters the shop he's working in and buys him. But his teacher turns out to be an agent needing his help to kill a former agent, the uke's boss
7,5/10
It's rather cute for a story about debt collectors. The uke has a domestic and soft side in spite of his appearance and the seme reminds me of a big nice dog. It's cute seeing him "become gay"
DEBT, STRAIGHT SEME
The uke, a gay debt collector, likes messing around with his straight debtors. When he comes to collect the debt of a family whose father has left, he encounters a young man who's just his type (seme) and offers him to let him repay the money with his body
10/10
This is such a beautiful story, a melodrama which managed to get me emotionally invested. The art is awesome and I love the couple's dynamic and how it shifts later on. Definitely a must-read.
ACTOR, CRIME, TOXIC RELATIONSHIP
Rookie actor Seo Yeon-Oh (uke) lives a pathetic life as a no-namer paying his dad's ever-increasing gambling debts. But one day, a CEO of a Big Company named Jae-Hyeok (seme) asks him to act as his lover ij exchange for a sponsorship. But he has a hidden motive
7,5/10
It's actually better but the translation is confusing. On top of that, the ending is unsatisfying. But the investigation entangled with the romance is gripping and the art's beautiful. The uke is determined and the seme is cool.
POLICE, RAPE, MURDER
A police officer (uke) gets aroused when in danger. One day, he picks up an injured man (seme) and gets raped by him. They stay in contact bc the seme is involved in a murder case and the uke wants information from him
8/10
The art is top-notch and the romance starts with a (careful) seduction. It's a younger puppy seme x older mature uke pairing and I love it. Loving the uke helps the seme turn his life around
THIEF, EX COP
A thief (seme) gets caught stealing a wallet by another man who forces him to return it and to work at a book shop for 1 day. Out of anger, the seme breaks into his house but realises that he's an ex cop. He flees but then hears something about the uke's past that he can't forget
8/10
It's a bit special bc the characters feel so real, they get ugly. They all have their own story. The uke is pretty likable, his romance with the seme is kinda toxic tho bc of stockholm syndrome. I like how he manages to make the uke express himself later on.
AGE GAP (10 years), HACKER
One night, a college student (uke) gets caught by a scary man (seme) who jumps out of a trunk. Bc sb is searching for him, the seme forces the uke to let him take shelter in his flat. Then he SAs the uke
9,6/10
This makes me tear up. It's so sad and beautiful, 2 lonely souls yearning for love finding and saving each other. They're so different and yet so similar. The seme's story in particular is tragic. The art is top-notch.
ASSASSIN, BLIND
5 years ago, the seme's brother died in front of him bc the seme couldn't kill the target. He still can't forget the nearly blind boy (uke) he met back then. Since then, he hasn't been able to kill anybody. One day, they meet again.
7/10
The plot is corny, predictable and unrealistic. But the art makes me feel like this is deep, I love the style. Also, the seme is a gentleman and a mobster, I can't dislike him. The uke's dumb and childish. It can't be complete.
MAFIA, DRAMA, AGE GAP (15 years)
On his trip to NY, college student (uke) gets attacked by criminals, but is rescued by a mysterious man (seme) who takes him to his mansion. Although the seme hides a grave secret, their attraction to each other grows
