takame's manga / #dorm/apartment(66)

First time I see the seme's face I was "WOOOOWWW bishounen!!! *shook. (☆▽☆)<3" yep, starry-eyed like that. manga is stereotypical and nothing ground-breaking but it's not bad to pass time with since it's amusing and got beautiful art. policemen #sempai - kohai, #bickering pair bec. of #opposite personalities. the stereotypical handsome but bully seme and cute and hardworking but a little naive uke.

ch. 1-2, 6: #teacher x student #younger seme x #older, unexpectedly #strong uke. An intimidating-looking boy who is often misunderstood got helped by the most popular teacher in school. He never noticed the guy's charm until he's this close. There's nothing like a goofy older uke and an all-too-serious overgrown student seme who looses his composure because of this so-called first love. It's cute and refreshing to see the seme bothered. Even his little blushes are cute. ch. 3-5: #roommates. i love that verbally abusive roommate. i'd hate to be close to him though he's poison. but as a reader, i find him totally amusing especially when he's in the middle of muscled-brain idiots. He's suck a kween.

share-house with beautiful men+yaoi. can only mean one thing. so... can i haz some more please? (●￣(ｴ)￣●) And finally! things are getting hotter. True blue yaoi. Plot even screams hentai lol. Little story is about an airhead guy got mistaken as a rent boy but is actually a soon-to-be tenant and immediately got sexed on. rapey/dub!con so sensitive people just stay away. this is just yaoi. Ch. 5: the unexpected #beast seme lol. Mr. sculptor looks kind and gentle just dont make him horny i guess? Has a #fake shota fetish, super #size gap. hunky seme x cute little uke. [2017-08-01 04:14 marked]

main couple: best friend, neighbors and childhood friend has been crushing on his straight bff for years now but his low confidence and general negative way of thinking kept him from it. nice words of the author about love and moving forward through this story. somewhat inspirational too bec of that. #straight seme x gay uke. warning: can trigger some. seme realized his feelings even when he's still going out with his gf. yone (the main couple's third wheel sempai) x heterochromiac roommate. @vol 3, chap 2-3, 5-6: their story. #japanese foreign exchange students in america #college pair, #art school. #age gap (27 x 23yo) #younger seme #stoic seme x #arrogant uke. Two guys who had bad luck with men became roommates. terrible first impressions but later on, yone sempai thought that it could be possible to fall inlove with this lonely person. also, it's about yone-sempail's #moving on. Vol 3 chapter 6: a crossover omake with the guys of "Yuuhi ni Fureru Sono Mae ni" somehow, our main pair stumbled on the same art college as them and crossed paths without knowing.

⟫ Kozure Ookami > Ookami No Ketsuzoku. Page 1-71, 170-184: My favourite yaoi child-rearing manga. centered around taking care of the kids. great art, mature, heart-pinching story. #manly couple galore. yay. Nobody's a fake chick. Two amusing neighbors who had a lot in common. The hard life of a single father w/ a toddler on tow. Started getting cozy but they kept on bickering until it degenerated into stupid petty fights. Unfortunately, the son takes priority than his own lovelife so uke had to go away. Or so he claims as he ran away from his feelings. #reencounter proved that they are destined for each other. No more denial. (I could have used some little punishment for uke tho but I kind understand his hard position as a father. I guess the additional son is enough punishment for him) P. 185-end: Time jump omake, situated AFTER Ookami No Ketsuzoku. Akkun finally figured out the mystery of the back snuggles that Non claimed that he loves so much. --------ɫ ⬧ ɫ-------- *Story 2 (pg 74-153) They are both straight & perfectly alludes the title (Wolves), since both of them were manly and dominant. It's just funny how they decide who bottoms. nevertheless, how these two straight guys fell in love is beautifully well done. No girly, sparkly doki-doki shoujo-ish love, just plain manly love (bruhhh) which I appreciate so much amazing little sister - not just bec she's a fujoshi but she's been their cupid and gave them good advice. (I'D LOVE TO ASK FOR A COPY OF THE PIC SHE TOOK TOO) ./. *Story 3 (pg 154-169) : Lol Another one of those apartment that has an all-gay residents in. Just a simple oneshot about two gay couple who don't have anybody to turn to, as gay men who both have been thrown out of the house. They were going pretty strong just that they had this kink of pretend-cheating to make the other jealous and stage this pseudo-breakup when in truth, they just wanted to have an intense makeup sex. Second story synonpsis: FOR THOSE WHO FAIL TO UNDERSTAND (I don't it... Someone tell me. Are you girls too young to understand? It's your beloved fudanshi romance in a realistic way. And it's even properly narrated.) So we started up on a shocking sex scene in the mirror but on a closer look, it's a realistic yet SUPER AWKWARD experiment of two straight dudes who are were trying to figure out gay sex themselves. So the story rewounded back to three months ago of how they got acquainted. They got intrigued of the other at the get to and started to spend more and more time together and slowly, desired each other's companionship without other people. Not to mention they kept thinking/obsessing about the other guy when he's not there. All the while they thought it's normal friendship lol. What they didn't realize is they missed one big thing. That it could be possible to fall inlove with another man too. Not until (the fujoshi) little sister pointed it out on their face. But that's not the end of the problem tho. If anything, it's just the beginning. They're like newlyweds in honeymoon period. They're crazy for each other so much that their careers/businesses were taking a big hit. So they call it off. But that never put out the fire. A couple of weeks has passed by and seeing the reality that they have really broken up hit the bar manager. So he snapped and asserted his rightful place, which is beside businessman. On the other hand, businessman has also been thinking about them. Both tried moving on and he even got a gf but in the end, his feelings for the other man has grown this much. Touched with how the bar manager came back to him, he obliged the guy and told the girl to go away. (Really, even if the accident did not happen, sooner or later one of them won't be able to take it and just plan a way to get them back together). The pinnacle of the story is when they both searched in their minds how and when they fell inlove. rewind, rewind, rewind and we got back to the lighting of cigar. It's so poignant and sweet. And they lived happily ever after... with all those BL books that the girls around them were circulating too, hahaha.

{ch. 1-2} : main pair - single father seme x nursery teacher: had a bad first meeting. fell inlove with seme's son who is a cute little angel so he got angry at this cold man who is dismissing him. they slowly warm up to each other tho. as a pretense, seme suggested for sensei to be the "mother" of their house. #rich seme - is a general manager of a company and is living a totally in a different lifestyle than our ordinary protagonist. our poor mc tries to cope as seme takes him to high class restaurant he never imagined going to. {ch. 3-5} secondary pair - timeskip chiharu x that little bully at the nursery, satoshi. sporty(Abs!), tsundere uke x pretty-but-a-little-devil-inside seme. baby angel chiharu is now in middle school but he discovered that his dad is in a relationship w/ his first love, their nursery sensei. thus started his rebellious phase. I usually like it when the child grow up and be coupled with someone as well but why did the mangaka had to make chiharu grow up into a rebellious teen? at least don't cut the part where he talked to his parent.... WTH. *sighs. I didn't enjoyed it as much as I should be. I like the story concept, I really do I dig these kind of stories but the plot and the emo teen drama is badly phased it resulted into a forced, shallow drama. --------ɫ ⬧ ɫ-------- ch. 6: cute unrelated oneshot that is just too short. popular guy who wanted more attention got a little bit jealous of this girly handicrafts guy (who hoards the girls) so he decided to join the club to be more popular. got more than that tho, it opened up some feels he thought he'd hidden long ago.

@2017 Edit: A 2nd volume after all these years? why not? ^_^ finally finished wow, TYVM. IT'S AMAZING. Sweet doki-doki atmosphere all around! No twist! SYNOPSIS: After returning from overseas, Architecture Professor Shima is forced to take over the house as well as it's butler. He decided to keep what his departed elder brother left even when it's already the 21st freaking century. Getting called "Master" is hard to get used to tho. Poor guy. Super entertaining read! I love it. The seme is amusing and energetic and at the same time, HOT AF. *fans. --------ɫ ⬧ ɫ-------- unrelated story: {Vol. 1, ch. 4-6:} Cute college student story. Since they were in the same university, seme's dad made him live with the son of his dad's golf buddy. He's not the type to take care of people but this airheaded otaku is messing up his rhythm. And of all things to be, he's inlove with this idiot who unknowingly makes him suffer. @chap 6.5: crossover pairing omake w/ the main pair.

For some reason I can't get into it. A mysterious shop w/ unique services are a familiar concept in BL & there's a lot of great ones w/ similar format (sex therapist & minori no te among others) that I REALLY like but IDK? But don't get me wrong, IT'S NOT BAD. I read it till the end. Synopsis: An repatriate who came back to Japan for good ran an izakaya (traditional japanese restaurant) that is a little bit... unique. First, the owner is a quirky guy who acts and thinks like a weaboo despite being japanese & second, he is using it as a front to do some detective work with his mysterious, all-capable employees. And did I mention that he's gay? So yeah, in a nutshell this manga is about him helping those unfortunate gay men who stumble to his restaurant building. #reencounter romance started to develop around half of the story. Love interest is the okama that works on a gay bar that the group knew through their first job. Surprise, they actually knew each other since high school and the "amazing" owner cannot seem to recall that he actually confessed lol. Cute happy ending for the two!

For some reasons I don't find it funny if a seme manipulates someone to bottoming. I'm usually ok w/ it but the way this seme was designed is not fun but I'll give a chance. Update: Finished. So verdict: It's not that bad. To be fair, it has beautiful, modern art but I'm a bit disappointed. I will understand if this is just a smut manga. I'll rate it even higher but it tried to create some character development + depth yet failed to do so so it got stuck in the middle of plot and smut it turned bad. I LOVE threesomes (I'm even keeping a list of them) but this is so half-assed for me. What redeemed this manga is the two semes. Girly seme pushed his feelings to the uke at the start but due to the influence of the megane seme, both asked for permission and properly confessed in the end. Synopsis: A playboy (THAT naive? LMAO.) crushed over a girl that turned out to be a guy and took him home. Otaku childhood friend disagrees at first but let the guy live with them. A love triangle that ended up as a threesome. The two seme's agreed for a truce and decided they would be okay sharing the uke.

Edit: Dec. 2017 Finished. // The fact that it's True-to-Life got me interested. A BL mangaka finally is able to make a manga w/ a real life gay guy and... readers got bored.LMAO, wtf. #straight seme x gay uke. At first they got acquainted because of the Akira(uke)'s food blog but seme, despite being straight fell inlove. #courtship along the way and I love how they got closer and how eventually, the uke fell for seme for real. At first, uke finally gave in to go out because he yearned to be loved but seme's kindness and patient straightforwardness made him fell in. Unfortunately, Japan is not a flexible society and the issue of marriage came up for the straight seme who is about to come in terms about the reality of having relations with another man. Took him a year to convince his traditionalist family. Meanwhile, uke considered all of this a breaking-up and is actually waiting for a slow fade but deep inside him, he's holding on to his feelings. Finally, Masaru came back.
