3.5/5

Two childhood friends move in together as adults and fall in love. Is it the best thing out there? No. Is it unique? No. HOWEVER. The art is really nice. The plot is cute. I think this is worth reading especially with how short it is. If you’re looking for a standard 5-7 chapter yaoi that has all the generic characteristics (splash of misunderstanding, smut, fluffiness) then read this by all means.

4/5

Age gap

Divorced middle-aged salaryman x chef. Old man is giving uke vibes so I’ll refer to him as such. Seme is the same age as uke’s (adult) daughter so major age gap. I still think it’s cute. There is no spice in this, hence the top/bottom tin-foiling.

5/5

Good shit. Shy metalhead x golden retriever. Neighbor trope. This is one of my comfort reads.

4/5

Sadist(?) crossdresser x yakuza’s grandson.

4/5

country bumpkin x semi-famous photographer. Pure fluff, no spice.

3.5/5

Two dudes with PTSD trauma bond and lick each other’s wounds. Seme’s lost his ex to cancer and uke lost his parents to an accident and both are effed up over it. This is 44 chapters of angst and 2 happy ending chapters. If you like reading about depressed mfs doing the dirty, this is for you.

2.5/5

Honestly I didn’t really enjoy this, I just want to vent about it here. This is very very angst heavy and there is a huge misunderstanding that leads to the seme becoming a bully. I get that he was abused himself and really regrets his actions at the end, but I was just totally unable to feel any sympathy for him for some reason. He’s not a total villain but I guess he’s just an unlikeable dude. The “happy ending” wasn’t satisfying at all.

4/5

Dubcon/noncon; Omegaverse

Standard trope: rapey loan shark gangster has uke pay his father’s debt with his body. Gangster seme ends up regretting hurting uke after falling in love and blah blah blah happy ending. It’s a pretty good read, albeit a stale trope. Plenty of angst.

3/5

Crazy & rich seme x freshly heartbroken uke meet again almost a decade after a falling out and become roommates. The art is good. Story is interesting enough I guess. I just really, really, really don’t find the seme appealing at all. I usually like the toxic seme types but he’s like the oatmeal raisin cookie of toxic semes. Kihoon interested me more.

4/5

SA/abuse/noncon/dubcon/confinement

Well! This is certainly an acquired taste. Title should tell you all you need to know. Psycho seme blackmails and rapes uke then gets sentenced to jail for 9 years. Due to seme’s manipulation, uke feels profound guilt and spends the next decade living a very emo life. When they meet again, the toxic relationship reignites. Definitely not a high-quality plot but I’m a sucker for this trope.
