❀'s manga / #dark skin(67)

NOW THERE'S VOL 2. looove this author! 28yo uke, 20 yo seme marries for the sake of their villages to prosper. but they have to have sex to close out the ritual but uke doesn't want to do it. they go back tokyo and start living together. uke's mom threatens him if they don't fuck, they'll die. this is a lie lol but uke doesn't know and seriously begins considering seme as a partner. they fuck and seme disappears next morning, pissing uke off and hurting uke too cuz he thinks seme left after completing the ritual. but seme had only gone back to the village to report. weird cuz he could use the phone lol..........anyway, uke stays with a friend meanwhile and then seme comes to pick him up again. they go home together, go back to the village to do another ritual???????? and live happily ever after at the village!!

this is alright in the sense that nothing is offensive and it's actually kinda sweet and seme is hot. pretty boring just sex though. like uke connects to some fantasy world through his bathtub. there the 10th prince gets interested in him. they start touching each other and shit. then uke gets mad the prince seems to be treating him like a sex toy/nightly attendant instead of truly liking him, so uke goes back to human world. but then just as he's going, he hears seme calling his name and regrets it. so he keeps trying to go back and masterbates about it. even touching his ass though he didn't let seme do that before. and then finally he succeeds and sees seme is drowning in the bath in his world. he saves seme and i guess seme was trying to go see him too? idk and then afterwards they get together and have sex for real. sexy afterstories of them fucking outside and uke totally begging for it also uke has some complex about being hairless/very little hair. and seme is a hairy creature.

kinda meh, old school yaoi vibes. uke somehow ends up kidnapped and auctioned off. seme somehow decides to randomly bid on uke cuz uke is spunky and trying to break free. they end up being fated pairs or something...... poor translations are another problem lol but i am grateful for this mishmash of translators. anyway, they start just kissing cuz uke needs to take his heat suppressant everyday or something? and seme asks for a kiss in return to feed him his med. they somehow fall in love doing that. there's a bit of drama with seme's older bro thinking seme wants to be king so he wants to take uke away. but seme rescues uke before he is bitten by bro and bro realizes seme has always supported him, not tried to be king. then uke goes back to japan to be safe. seme follows and they live in japan now or something.

chap 1-4 and extra is main story. didn't read the other story cuz girly messed up uke. this one's kinda messed up too but it's ok. like seme and uke used to be on the same baseball team. now they're in high school and same class. uke kinda thinks he recognizes seme but seme denies it so uke's like ok......but then turns out it's really seme but his last name changed cuz his parents went through a divorce. and after the divorce seme was lonely and hurt so he turned kinda bad. he just suddenly rapes uke in the classroom like wtf cuz he hates uke for being happy. but actually he's just jealous and he likes uke??? who the fuck knows it's so confusing how they catch feelings for each other......but then seme's going to watch uke play baseball and comforting him after they lose a game and they're somehow together and even in uni we see them living together. kind of cute, but bad storytelling.

very cute story. both characters similar to each other, but one in japan and one in middle east. uke is successor to his family's ikebana school, and seme is successor to the country lol. they travel through these mirrors to visit each other and get close. seme falls in love with uke and how uke acts normal around him. and uke likes seme back for bringing his real personality out. anyway one time they have sex and suddenly there's weird misunderstanding....... where both suddenly think the other hates them for it........... and then the mirrors break and they can't get to each other anymore. but thankfully turns out they're in the same world, just different places. so seme takes a plane and goes to find uke and pretty quickly does. uke is having his ikebana exhibition and seme proposes right there and then. and then turns out they share the same name of a flower. lots of fate destiny stuff and it's pretty cute. just the ending is weird and fake sequence of events.

complete

they been having sex since middle school cuz loser has to do what winner says. now they're both pro wrestlers and still keeping that up. both really like each other though. uke always loses and challenges seme though he knows it'll just lead to sex. confusing part is where the drama kicks in. i thought uke already knew seme loved him cuz seme had confessed like multiple times.....but for some reason uke starts thinking seme actually likes his sister??? so uke withdraws himself from their relationship and does "sorrowful masturbation" lmao. after that uke challenges seme to a last fight and either way, win or lose, uke seemed determined to exist seme's life. during the fight they talk it out and turns out uke's sis lied to uke about seme saying he loved her.......wtf when did this happen and where..........so confusing anyway, they make up cuz truth comes out and uke beats seme in the fight. then they have make up sex in the change rooms cuz both are so pent up.

meh story, but interesting themes. not well executed plot. likable main couple though. seme is an undercover detective working with uke, a hitman. seme thinks uke hurt his sunbae who he loves 3 years ago. but working with uke, seme actually starts loving uke for real beyond their sexual relationship. at the same time, seme's sunbae is also getting together with uke's info guy. kinda complicated, but basically in the end, seme falls for uke. uke knew all along seme was a cop and lets himself get arrested. but turns out the cops are dirty and working for the mafia trying to get uke to work for them or kill him. then seme comes to save uke from these mafia ppl and makes him just disappear to america so the cops in italy can't get him. seme also quits being a cop and goes to usa to be with uke.

two stories. first is desert slave trader who gets captured willingly to save his slaves. he is sent to be "trained" by seme. seme fucks him a lot and gets interested in him. uke hates it but then seme shields him from the dude who captured him when he's trying to stab uke. and somehow that makes uke like seme in return. there's a bit more drama with the evil dude, trying to put a curse on seme, but uke had given seme his protection necklace so seme is fine and the curse backfires on evil dude. just really dumb how it turned from rape and capture to love...... second story is about an alien visiting childhood friends and wanting to see them have sex for research purposes. he gives an aphrodisiac lube to make it happen and then promises to pay half rent to see more. all kinda bs.

continuation of their story. this is the second volume. pretty cute this time around. seme being dramatic about not knowing if uke loves him lol. and whole volume is basically seme buying a hair clip for uke but it getting stolen and then sold to somewhere else. turns out the new owner is this lady who was friends with uke's mom. but she's like selfish and kinda evil idk but she makes seme go to her castle and makes him drink possibly poisoned drinks but seme is lucky and doesn't get the poisoned ones. idk at all what's her deal. she's like the prison master so she's scary but she wants uke to be her adopted son to fulfill uke's mom's last wish to her. idk... also some drama about seme's younger bro coming to find him from their snow country. he also ran away like seme cuz he couldn't stand their family and environment anymore with so much backstabing and abuse. in the end seme is reassured he is special to uke, which we already knew......since last volume when uke told seme his real name......
