❀'s manga / #drama(35)

beginning a little :/ cuz the actor just keeps assaulting the newbie with kisses and touches and even rapes him when he gets real mad one time. but then after they get together for real, the story is pretty decent and the art is beautiful. lots of drama, but it does get a little repetitive cuz it's just others being jealous of the famous actor or wanting to harm the newbie for being close, etc. their age gap is also much larger than i initially assumed from the drawings. 14 years !!

first story is half son of conglomerate and hired bodyguard. they used to be classmates in junior high. different people trying to hurt half son to get at his older brother, the heir. somehow they fall in love after one night where son pays bodyguard to have sex... cuter second story is about half son's friend who got hurt and the guy who accidentally hurt him after mistaking him for the son. cute cuz the guy who's working as a jack-of-all-trades/detective is like a tsundere and the running joke is he looks like yakuza. there is some weird time skip where we have to wait for the hurt guy to become a better man.......but whatever the ending was cute

debt collector and the guy he's after, who wants to be a director and used to do straight porn. tells the story as they're on their way to hokkaido, towards the debtor's hometown. along the way they fall in love, but i don't think they profess love. there's a bit of drama in the middle, and the way it's resolved shows how they truly care for each other. too bad no extra. tags are a bit wonky cuz technically they did agree to the sex for money. and they were not really sex friends as much as prostitute and customer... but there was rape one time.

THAT ENDING IS SO SWEET IT ALMOST MADE ME FORGET EVERYTHING ELSE AND GIVE IT 5 STARS LOL. But no the other stuff before getting this beautiful last chapter is too much. like the seme fucking another guy and the uke getting raped. not really my style. basically story is about two orphans who grew up together, uke older than the other. seme leaves after his feelings kinda revealed and joins the military. uke joins too after some time. seme sees uke get raped and then saves him before he is raped another time. they almost touch each other after that but uke has some flashback to his rape. anyway, they go to war and uke looks terrible. ptsd i guess. they fuck to help uke forget. then next day or some time soon uke is kinda ignoring seme and doesn't want to talk about anything. but they get left behind by their squad and uke gets injured from an enemy scuffle. more enemies coming, so they hide in a left behind tank. they fuck and talk things out and happy beautiful ending!! war ends and theys wear to be together foreverrrrrr.

technically they exchanged rings, but this is not a perfect story. kinda moved too fast to exchange rings. like they used to be uni students together and one helped the other out in the rain once, but he was also mad at the other guy for stealing his girl... and then there's some family drama with the guy who was helped, the uke. like he's the black sheep of his family, but suddenly that's resolved just with his brother being like ok to him. also was said he killed his mom at birth, but then his mom was apparently still alive until he was 4 and writing a diary of his baby days... and some weird stuff happened with his butler, not sure if his butler actually likes him or hates him, cuz he caused the butler to get beaten and permanently burned because he told on the brother's secret relationship with his butler so his bro and the butler are still in love but can't be together because the brother is supposed to be next head of family. anyway, whatever about that, unimportant. there are some messages about being a family and creating one if your blood family doesn't accept you, but it all happens too fast. just cuz they spent one night together while drunk and seme feinds uke beautiful. beautiful art indeed, but idk this story was kinda all over the place. tried to do some big and good things, but i don't think there were enough chapters to make it bloom. this story in same universe as Koko made Yaru towa Kiitenai! and shares a side character.

kinda weird and all over the place trying to do a lot with the plot with not enough space. basically a guy gets mistaken as a stalker of a girl by another guy. the stalker guy falls in love with his accuser and actually starts stalking him. but whole time it's kinda confusing if he actually is stalker or not lol. he even copied the other guy's room exactly. then there's some drama about the other guy's room being broken into. turns out the cause was just a mistake by an ex-gf of the neighbour. then there's some drama with a ring in the stalker guy's room. turns out it's the ring of the first girl. stalker guy wasn't stalking her, just trying to give her back the ring and her menstruation pads. in the end apparently the guy likes that the other guy is a huge stalker lol i don't really get it but ok happy for them. there was a misunderstanding about the stalker guy actually being in a past relationship with the first girl. a lot of these little dramas lol.

these two met in high school and become so enamoured with each other. both think they were 'saved' by the other and really loved each other. bitchy girl caught them kissing and posted the photo out. to save the uke, seme says it was just to tease the uke, and uke gets super upset. he runs to a broken stairwell and falls, but is saved by the seme. seme critically injures his leg and can't play soccer anymore. to strap uke to his side, he says uke must take responsibility. but uke wanted to stay with seme anyway and is glad to hear seme say this. in fact he thought seme might hate him so much and never want to see him again. he also starts taking care of the seme's sexual needs. years later, uke one day finds out that seme has been lying and his leg is healed, as much as it can be, and no longer goes to rehabilitation. uke kinda confused and just thinks seme was being nice by not pushing him away. but seme actually just didn't want uke to leave. some drama here about this shit and how they think they are deceiving the other but just wants to be with the other. but in the end both realize it's best to be honest and say feelings clearly, so they do and it's all good. poor translation job, but gets the means across. this is a pretty 'deep' story though so author tries to use a lot of flowery language that isn't translated well.

kinda weird. like a ghost and a dentist who has past trauma cuz his bf died of some illness. and the dentist could still see his bf sleeping at home, but maybe it was him hallucinating. now this other ghost is here haunting him and saying things like wanting to kiss him and be with him. they kinda go on a journey to where the ex-bf was cremated and stuff, and the ghost has sex with him. then it's revealed the ghost is actually a child's spirit, so the actual age of the ghost guy is like 5? cuz he's in preschool lol. and it just ends with the child waking up from the car accident coma, so the ghost is gone, the spirit is back in the original body, and he meets the dentist again...

should reread this seriously someday. i don't like the molestation part, but once you get past that, it's a cute emotional story. basically two childhood friends have feelings for one another. unfortunately one gets molested at a park one day. his friend thinks his feelings are the same as what the molester did, so kinda changes after that day. his molested friend does not give up their friendship though. in the end he gets through that he also likes the other guy and the other guy shouldn't think he's gross or like a molester.

the art was seriously amazing here. author actually did panels instead of just random boxes and very detailed art even though it's not really my taste. story was okay. would be 3 stars if not for this impressive art. basically uke has to hide seme cuz of some drama with his abusive birth mom coming out and seme is a celebrity singer. they get closer as they live together and somehow fall in love. then comes a day where uke's mom comes and is super nasty so uke decides to break up with seme. seme super hurt but leaves the country to escape the drama instead. some years later his mom suicides and he comes back. he acts cold to uke at first to make uke beg for his forgiveness and love but caves and they enter a relationship again. seme's manager and seme's step-brother also get into an age gap relationship.
