mature/realistic yaoi

very peaceful , nice family feel, no angst, very relaxing read. I don't like smut all other the place, but here it feels really natural, not pasted at all
it art is a bit poor in the beginning, it gets bette, and yet the anatomy (naked bodies) is always flawless

a girl die and become half dream half spirit in a spirit world. full of poetry a very slow mysterious and kind story

certainly not the most "realistic", but nicely done for a genre i usually dislike, what make it to my list is the way the relationship manage to gain credibility probably through the small exchange of the protagonist about insignificant tings like music or movies.
This manages to build enough credibility in a less than probable relation. Plot wise and character wise it should a total nonsense, but hey, it still manages to let you believe a bit and feel somewhat charmed by a fallen quasi vilain.

So far, not many short stories or really smutty yaoi made the cut to that list, but i really found the first horny teenager story to be somewhat realistic variation of how you can actually meet love an sex in a confused hormonal way maybe ?
The second story is nearly the antithesis of the first one, surfing on raw and fragile emotions
Both the art and storytelling have that raw and sharp feel which grasp your feeling (or maybe i'm just tired?)

You'd have to skip the 15 to 20 first pages, as the beginning is somewhat not really great, but after that, it's a pure gem about the meaning of life, lies, creativity and a sense of belonging / purpose
It's meaningful, gentle and fun, it has every little bit of everything you need to read if you ever took a wrong turn somewhere in life, and wished to know how good even that can be...

most pleasant to the eye, and remarkable storytelling
Filled with disturbance of life, it’s not cute and fluffy, maybe it has a lot about how to survive and how to go beyond survival
Some stories are to hard for my little heart, but there’s a lot of healing in others
A rare take on making sense of sm (that i absolutely dislike usually)

nice feel, nit build up in quite a realistic feel

Memory loss is a tool to chalenge a sweet relationship, beautifully written with honest and straightforward protagonists. A few flashbacks brings you to visit the light confusion of teenage and amnesia
It is both deep and light
I love the very free intimate relationship, absolutely guilt free, shame free, honest and kind
The positive attitude and the courage of the characters. Their faith is simply beautiful
It’s refreshing and kind

I can’t say it’s truly realistic as creatures ares involves, yet the characters development fits my bill
I love the author, the stories are beautiful, emotionally rich and satisfying
This one has a bit of magic which is adorable
It’s hot, but beautiful at the same time, because the characters come to share intimacy as part of their love
It feels natural and welcomed

compared to other tittles by the same authour, this one, does not include yakusa and violence which rebute me. I cannot say te relationship is too realistic, but it is heartwarming and gentle.the questions of the characters would it be workwise or in personnal life are interresting enough to make the reading worth while :)
