Umi No Juunin To Wa Koi Wa Shinai
Foolish enough to not recognize the 'girl' he's crushing on is actually a dude. seme is a straightforward and sincere fisherman. aside from that, he's a good guy. Uke #crossdressing as a bar maid because his mom lacked manpower. Tried to tell the truth to the fisherman but shit happened. after the misunderstanding cleared, it's a cute happy ending.
Mahoroba Days
What's this? I Can't believe it's not marked as "manga's I've read" yet. WORTH REREADING MANY TIMES OVER! I like the fantasy plot and the mystery that surrounds the place #family manga - the people who adopted him are genuinely care for him that it doubles his guilt and low self-worth, hiding in a cruel mask. and the character. The way the mangaka reveal the missing puzzle of uke's lost memory and the mystery of seme's odd acting kept me in anticipation. That final self-sacrifice in the end is touching. Aww. (It's a sweet happy ending). BTW, there is a real life nara prefecture in japan, and nara means "deer" so his family is the local god/animal diety of the place. #heavy-baggaged uke #suicidal character
Kouya no Seifukuou
p. 1-44, 181-end: #rape to love. #(assassin)prince uke x knight semes. A gay #commander is being proposed to by a kingdom in order not to be invaded. that dancer/assasin turned out to be a prince but it seems like his kin were not too happy with him. commander in the end took him as his own. p. 51-76: #supernatural. #high school seme x salaryman uke / reserved younger seme x bold uke. #seme is 6 years younger. one heartbroken night he suddenly hear his #childhood friend's thoughts. but at least that helped getting the message across since this big stoic boy is too reserved. well, since he's older, he took the initiative. p. 81-122: #childhood friends #threesome. #rich seme(s) x #ordinary #glasses uke. #twins. came from an old, traditional family. family wanted the heir to be proper but the real reason they wanted to talk is to get rid of this unrelated child who is sponging off them. p. 116-152 : #gardener seme x #young master uke. young master had a #homecoming after several years w/ the death of his father. he acts arrogant but he's lonely and fragile underneath the cold front. and gardener seme knew how to reveal it. p. 158-173: a shortie oneshot about this boy who was bought by a CEO with millions and now made him into his S&M partner.
DistopiA ~Mikansei na Sekai~
Futuristic world of a virtual reality game. This is so sweet and cute served with doki-doki feels *kyaa*. If you are a gamer you would find this manga interesting. A Mr. perfect kind of guy got asked to debug the game he programmed. He knew that this world is fake but got too serious on it. A dating sim is suppose to give a happy ending but he only felt pain upon clearing the game. He never paid attention to anything but afterwards someone from his class caught his eye... someone eerily familiar.
Houkago Edge
MC hates transexual, crossdressers as much as he hates himself for being one too. His secret got discovered by this very odd guy (a classmate of all things) who seems to be getting a kick making a fool out of him.
Scarlet
p. 1-98: Pitiful but not pitiful seme. TBH I don't know if he's just foolishly childlish (to the point of near retardation), airheaded or is simply just a natural-incidental-playboy but HOLY SHIT HE CHEATS THEN CRIES AND REPEATS IT AGAIN? LIKE... HOW SPINELESS HE COULD BE? Notheless, if the stupid seme does not bother you that much, it's not a bad read since it has a pretty artwork unique in the signature style of madarame hiro. one #obsessive love. #uni life. After one forceful stalker-ish gf, seme learned his lesson and never strayed and became twice as clingy to uke. In the end, the award goes to uke's friend for being the only sane person in this manga. He doesn't mind about uke having a relationship with a guy, properly scolded the boyfriend(seme) like no one could and he always makes a sound advice. .//. p. 102-174 : I like this one WAAAAYYYY better. straight seme x gay uke. uke is hamster-like cute, and fragile despite being a salaryman. started with a proposed one night stand. backtracking, both were working in the same building and uke is having an #unrequited love for handsome, hard to reach popular guy. Since uke had a different persona by night, he hoped that he won't get recognized. Hoped. .//. p. 180-end : one night while staring at his sleeping lover, arrogant, in-demand playboy contemplates on breaking up instead, began thinking about this nerd's best features. #tsundere seme moments there haha. Out of all the infuriating playboys, I am very amused at this one because he actually had his attitude handed back to him by the unknowing gloomy uke, trying to deny the fact that he's actually swallowing his pride over and over again because he's inlove for reals. And eventually, he stopped playing around and as much as he deny it, is actually enjoys serving the uke. All the while, the innocent uke kept on being negative and insecure as per his nature without knowing that he had the seme at the palm of his hands.

the moment i glanced at the artwork i go" "oh god, it's this mangaka. the famous yaoi hands and body!" but tbh, in compare to her other works, this stories are pure and nice. Best thing is it's always UNCENSORED. YAY. Ch. 1: Ah, young love. Uke's reactions take me back in time. being prickly to his suitor but in all honesty, he likes him too lol. in our country it's what we call "tulak ng bibig kapit ng dibdib". in-denial uke tried experimenting with a woman but seme caught him in time and "punished" him. i'm amused at the female classmates who are teasing them tho. (fujoshis in the making). .//. ch. 2: the cute younger seme x older uke pair and their life as lovers. working man uke loved his lover as much as his work so a spoiled vacation plan get them into a spat. i like how "the adult bottom and his younger (teen) lover. the student seme is not annoying and immature but his sexy stoicism when combined with his silent sulking is very much adorable. .//. ch. 3 & 8: the usual "my hand is injured to help me masturbate" request but it didn't happen. #roommates and classmates. as a guy, MC even finds his (delinquent) roommate boyfriend material. good pace, ended with a confession. .//. ch. 4 & ch. 7: a shortie oneshot about a two-man idol group who is secretly dating had a little problem in the photoshoot. second part is about the costumes. .//. ch. 5: spin-off chapter for "anbalance lover" couple. what happeend 3 months after. .//. ch. 6: meh oneshot. an uncle is a university teacher and he lived there for a while while his parents work out their relationship on the brink of divorce. #taking care while sick #sex while sick. #megane seme in a kimono x teenager uke. #uncle x nephew .//. ch. 8: two high school boys #already in a relationship. #super popular seme then enters seme's BFF that is against them because "they don't suit each other" (just a real friend. it's actually only a misunderstanding in his part). uke has a very low self-esteem to the point he does not understand why is he liked by this popular person. thus, it's easy for other people to bully him. it's all good bec. in the end, uke got over with his internal struggle.
Houyou Jikken
just discovered that it's finally finished. 3.5 stars, this is actually high for me already. #cousin!cest as per normal japan *shrugs. #reencounter around 10-15 yrs after. #age gap of at least 6-7 yrs. uni freshman sorta fell in-love at first sight on this hunky sempai w/c turns shares a past w/ him that he doesn't remember? too bad. uke is a sickly guy and somehow, due to a high fever he's forgotten some parts of his life. it may not be as romantic as what other readers expect but i am impressed by the very caring seme as he does his best and even dedicated his whole life to find a cure for the uke's disease. that alone is worth reading.
Kizudarake no Hakoniwa
Nice artwork! (Seme loves biting & violent sex. Are u me? LOL no psycho tho) Seme targets uke but uke is impressive for not getting carried away nor make it easy for the seme. UPDATED SYNOPSIS: An infamous 2nd year Transferee blackmails Yuito(MC/uke) out of the blue w/ PHOTOSHOPPED pictures. His first time greeting? dragging uke to some secluded part of the library and bite him. HARD. MC was able to successfully stop the smear campaign by agreeing to the condition of letting seme cop a feel. Out of the blue, seme suddenly confessed. And as much as Yuito tries to deny what he feels, it seems like he's slowly falling for this creep. But hell, he won't go admitting his feelings just like that without a fight. Meanwhile, despite the fact that the seme is a sexual-harassing perv, he's kinda cute in school frequently visiting Yuito's class and bringing lunchbox everyday. At first, he's just observing the uke (check that library panel where he's at the other side of the window) and concluded that he could use this ordinary guy to fool around with since sempai (uke) looks like the type that he could freely pour his violence/sexual frustration on to. (Thus the blackmail part). However, he didn't expect to see the older boy's good side and like it. And he didn't expect he'd fall inlove for reals. Now he has fallen, he wanted to be gentle but it's all too late. dub-con (but both were already inlove with each other secretly but that doesn't erase the fact that it's rape...) #smutty, censored. #younger seme. uke older by one year. nice friendship! i'm amazed at uke's friends, they obviously support the pair's lovey-dovey couple life. it seems they are not adverse on the fact that their friend is dating a guy (uke is doubtful but i do think they understand what's going on)
