10/10
This beautiful slow burn manages to tell a pure and emotional story in spite of the topics it addresses. The seme discovers the meaning of love and the uke meets someone who loves him back. Both are well-written characters.
PROSTITUTE, EX YAKUZA
After his boss dies the seme leaves the yakuza seeking to live a normal live. One day, he meets a beautiful boy (uke) in a bus who pays for his ride. He can't forget the way the uke looked at his lover but later finds out that he's a prostitute
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.
8,5/10
This was just wholesome. The popular and seemingly cold seme got saved from his low by the cute otaku uke. Their romance is natural and cute and the art is good. I recommend this.
FLUFF, OTAKU, SCHOOL LIFE
Bc his sister told him to make a change, the popular ex pitcher of the high school joins a computer club saving it from dismemberment. There, he encounters a cute otaku who has admired him since he first saw him
8,5/10
This is adorable. The puppy seme just comes across as rude bc he can't speak Japanese and the uke kinda dotes on him. Their language barrier makes it interesting and the smut is very hot. The art's amazing.
ACTOR, FOREIGNER, FLUFF
Jiheo (seme), popular Korean actor, comes to Japan to promote his new movie and gets assigned to Hiro (uke) who works for a film distribution company. When Jiheo loses his bag Hiro helps him and they end up studying Japanese together with a book for romance.
9/10
This is perfect fluff. The gentle and soft uke and the cheerful and caring Golden Retriever seme are such a good match it feels like they were made for each other.
POLICE, FLUFF, NIGHTMARE
When the office worker Kaga Mitsuki (uke) dreams about murdering his boss he rushes into the police station confessing his crime. When he later returns to apologise a police officer offers to listen to him should he have a nightmares again.
8,3/10
This is so cute and wholesome! The city boy is like a big Golden Retriever and the farmer's gloomy but also so pure and lovable. They both have a sad past, it's a good mix. It isn't yaoi tho.
PHOTOGRAPHER, COUNTRYSIDE
When a young farmer encounters a wildlife photographer from Tokyo in the middle of winter and learns that he has nowhere to stay, he offers him to stay in his house until he finishes his work. But the longer they stay together, the more attached they get
8/10
It's the sequel of Asatte ni Kiss and it's even better. The uke is kinda tsundere and the seme is the popular hottie type who's cheerful and dominant. I love their chemistry.
COLLEGE, FRIENDS TO LOVERS, ADMIRER
The uke has always admired the seme since high school but when they got close in college he kinda got a reality check. They get along well but when the uke gets hit on by a girl the seme suddenly kisses him.
8,3/10
It is a heart-warming story with just the right amount of angst in it. The uke's a lonely boy who craves love and the seme believes not to be able to love anyone. It is so beautiful seeing them save each other.
DETECTIVE, AGE GAP
A private detective who mostly has to catch people cheating (seme) encounters a young boy (uke) while being on a mission and injures his leg. In exchange for the uke helping him with his work, he lets him stay with him.
8,7/10
This is pure cuteness, overflowing with fluff. They hit off right away and are both pretty open minded even though it's their first time with a guy. The seme is cheerful and the uke is cute, caring and able to take the lead as well. And they love animals.
EXCHANGE STUDENT, FLUFF
The uke's family takes in a Maasain exchange student (seme) and he and the uke share a room. The seme first mistakes him for a girl but even when he learns about his gender his interest remains.
8/10
It's super wholesome. The uke is cute and the seme is a sweetheart. The uke's yinx brings in a bit of comedy too. I had a good time.
COMEDY, YINX, FLUFF
The uke has a yinx he calls "Lucky Pervert" which always caues him to end up in erotic situations. Bc of that, he list his job and now works as an assistant in a shop. One day, he gets involved with a man (seme) when he accidentally sprays water on him. Since then, the seme frequently comes by to see him.
