takame's manga / #drugs(25)

It's sad, depressing and portrays race and sexual orientation discrimination in a damatic and gritty way. There are plenty of moments where I say "yes" especially when connor threw that coffee a stranger gave him. Unlike a lot of BL mangas, this does not encourage gay fetishism that made it likeable for me but also hard to read because I can't help but identify and that for me is bad bec. it triggers a lot in me since I'm both asian and not straight. double damn, haha. Unfortunately, it's still ongoing but I don't like rereading stories like these even if it's good. It's too painful and personal. #break-up, #re-encounter after 6 mos to one year. #inter-racial lovers. #drugs. Seme is famous yet on paths to self-destruction but now, at least they got back together and they should fight back against this shitty world just to survive and keep their relationship as a gay couple. #bullying issues: it made a deep impression/trauma for the uke, not to mention he's gay too and his religious mother, though well-meaning is just not helping. i love mona, their former bandmate. it's been years since they disbanded but is still friends with the two MCs. she's awesome.

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!

{Combination of crack and smut} Title's similarity to a brand of drug gives clues to what kind of manga to expect. But plot twist. Uke got turned on not by a drug but a peppermint candy lol. #dance audition, and with his age climbing up, this is Suzushiro's last bet. He did not expect to be qualified as a replacement dancer even & now, he had to work with this dance prodigy weirdo who breezed through the auditions... who is perving all over him. #dubcon.

I intend to pass but seeing how it's a collab bet 2 mangakas I like I got suuper curious. Two policemen were #lovers for 3 years. Backstory revealed that the chief got discovered as gay by his subordinate. And slept w/ him too LOL. I recommend Matoh's "Fake". As much as I like the creators, for a police drama, the story is a bit... um... but I'll keep watch & give it a chance.

Idk man... Like he could come clean but make it worse yet at the same time I also think its better to be honest to make a better start since they seem to have something going on.
