takame's manga / #heibon uke(121)

Wow, I felt like it's been a while since a BL manga moved me. What a cute story. Homeboy can see the red thread of destiny since little. Sounds romantic but he learned that the very ability he possess does not necessary make a person happy. He also subconsciously believed that a romance influenced by it is fake, even. One day, he saw his red thread finally leading him to his fated one and he hoped it's his crush but it lead to a guy. WTF moment there. And not only that, it started the frequent serendipitous meetings they have, it left the poor guy frustrated to the bone he googled a way to cut the thread off. Now, he had the solution to his problems but he's actually having second thoughts about cutting their connection. And with good timing, just when they were not each other's fated pair anymore through cutting the red string, he realized he's inlove. OUCH.

⟫ Meeting You > Don't Rush Love. couple 1: (page 1-55) the glasses , studious twin (seme) x ordinary but sincere boy(uke.) #roommates romance. #school life. New student had a love at first sight for this handsome guy who is about to be his roommate but unfortunately, he found out that the guy is a dangerous playboy. Too bad, he's already inlove and even went as far as offering to be a substitute. On the other hand, lately, all playboy thinks about is his roommate who confessed to him while looking in the eye. Didn't even notice that he fell out of his unrequited love already until sensei (playboy's unrequited love) pointed it out. #playboy changed by love - seme. #rich seme - never puts on airs so uke never imagined that they are a family of politicians. grandfather is a diet member. couple 2: (page 56-) #bad boy twin x #beautiful uncle @mother's side. Pair got introduced at grandpa's bday. Uncle is inlove with the twin's departed father. LOL at the first twin's uke when seme took him to the party. Aside from being overwhelmed, rich people kept mistaking him for a waiter. Bad boy twin is making a ruckus because the uncle is going to be shipped off an omiai by the grandpa. #graphic sex +plot. more about the plot. it escalated somewhat too fast so the combination is a bit weird. i love how mio-sensei draws her uncensored smuts tho. it's always amazing.

An old read. TBH, I kind of expected this to at least be on par with Go-con since it has the kinky concept of tours w/ escorts and sexual favours similar to Love Mode. Unfortunately, the stories are too short and underdeveloped but among them, I like the last tour and the wolf one. It's cute. The rest are an OK read despite all. ➤☆ 3.5 stars | Synopsis: Tour Shangri-la is a Special Tour Package that is only known to a few employee. It cost some millions of yen so only the elites could afford it. The concept is to make the client's dream come true and fulfill whatever fantasy they wanted for the whole tour. {P. 1-40}: President's son x Employee: "the prince" as the women in the office nicknames the son of the president, is MC's(uke) long-time friend and now he is working in their company. However, token bitchy-villain-stepmom want a taste of that stepson ass so she plan to kick out uke by giving him a Shangri-la tour client and fix-up a bad review. Seme got a wind of it and flew to dubai to save his friend and continue his interrupted confession-proposal. {P. 41-72}: Asada x Young master (#younger seme) @bahamas. The youngest client ever, the tour is a gift from his CEO dad for his college graduation. Concept is (make-believe) lovers. Accidentally saw his dad having sex as part of the paris lovers package and wasn't able to forget it eversince so he suggested this graduation gift. Had some argument bec of what he found out from 7 yrs ago. Seme doesn't want this to end just as a tour tho. Uke disappeared but a few months he actually quit being a tour guide to work at seme's company. {P. 73-104}: Aniki, the tour guide x Housei (seme): Concept is Lover's 5-day outing. This guy must be pretty rich to buy the shangrila package three times for a year now. #non-related brothers through marriage. #age gap of 8 years. #older uke. 5 years ago obsessive seme defeated his nii-san in a #biker gang competition just to have him. #rapey. Used the duration of the tour to reminiscence and convince the older one to come back. What seme didn't know is aniki also likes him but is denying it out of guilt. {P. 105-136}: Tabuse, the new tour guide x Kashii-san: Personal chef concept @Milan. A chef who wanted to experience more of the world to improve his cooking decided to be a shangri-la tour guide. However, He was surprised to see his dream employer, the guy who inspired him to do more as his client for the tour. --------ɫ ⬧ ɫ-------- Safari, Anthro oneshots unrelated to shangri-la tours. {P.137-177} rare white werewolf x mixed-human werewolf: 5 years ago he gave up the dreams of family when he had the chance. Now, Mc(uke) is your everyday, ordinary teacher, except that his mate from the mountains was able to find him and revealed that he's actually a half werewolf. The truth is, he is trying to push the seme away and run to this human town thinking it's for the seme's best interest. Half of it also is because he was bullied and threatened by the ditzy female wolves of their tribe. {P.188-end} Iriomote cat x vet : I'm loving this boy already. His cat form is so cute and fluffy. The student who is also a cat who saved half-werewolf sensei has his own story. He's living w/ a vet passionate about his race & also keeps his secret. There's a stray cat whom he fears would replace him as the house cat so he's distressed and out of all days his heat/mating season arrived.

{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.

Ch. 1-3: *giggles*. Guys who always bicker but end up together are so exciting and sexy. I'm loving these two. #Two salaryman in the same department who never got along but to their surprise, they were each other's blind date and after that "accidental" one night stand, it seems that MC (uke) can't forget.

2017 update: IS THIS FOR REAL? Whole. Volume.!! Oh myyyy REREADING LIKE SHIT. Ch. 1-2: 27 years old & MC's still a virgin. Chalked it out on some kissing trauma in HS when in all actuality he's sweetly in love w/ Sir trauma-source this whole 10 yrs. #reencounter romance. Ch. 3-5: #childhood friends who had a weird relationship. Talk about changes, growth and suppressed feelings. Mc(uke) is an anti-social man who never welcomed anyone beside him but since boyhood, there's this guy who never left him. After all these years, he thought that confession was a joke. Time passed, and after five years of not seeing each other, friend visited back in town. CH. 5.5-5.6: omake for all the couples. BTW they were all acquaintances, were friends in high school. Found out they were now all gay for the other? I like how mangaka put it. ALL FOUR GAYS ASSEMBLED. lol. I just love you sensei. Both stories are good. IDK, it's perfect.The combination of the artwork, plot and the presentation if emotion takes you inside the book like few mangakas would.

ch.1-3: while reading i thought... shion the puppy the ultimate seme ahahaha. why can't ao let shion top so they'd be an actual threesome? A bro-con that crossed over the boundaries to actual smutty twin x elder bro relationship. The plot is simple and not deep, just enjoy the light smutty read ^_^ ch. 4: okama x salaryman sempai-kohai #rerencountered at the okama bar. they were sempai-kohai in the kendo club when they were in high school. A bit surprised that salaryman MC's hero has now turned into a stiletto-wearing beauty but he didn't really mind since sempai is actually his old crush.

Beautiful unrequited love with a gentle and relaxing atmosphere. Two highschoolers who are both movie buffs are close despite in different classes. Later, brunette learned why. His very male friend confessed to him one day but without expecting something in return. However, with this summer pilgrimag, he later found himself falling anyway. But when classes resumed, friend was mysteriously gone? This manga is a testimony that a relaxing slice of life can become a masterpiece with full-marks

@2018 update: Getting picked up? I'm all up for it!. Longer so I can now properly review. UPDATED SYNOPSIS: (Himo. Shortened for himono. A man financially supported by a woman. More like "house husband" in English). Story started at recent time then rewind back to three months to retell how they got together. An ordinary man w/ ordinary life, MC never properly enjoyed youth nor romance and now he's too old and too busy for it. Suddenly he found himself getting carried away by this overstaying guest he picked up in the rain. But the warmth and the companionship the younger guy provided makes it hard for him to kick him out of the house. Until he realized his feelings have become more than comfortable. Since the beginning, this pair kept missing the timing for everything and now, they even mised the timing for confession too. (FYI: seme fell in love first, both didn't know each other's feelings). Watch the both of them misunderstand everything.

⟫ Ashita, Kare no Bed de >Nemurenai Koibito > Kusuriyubi ga Shitteru> Mou Kimi o Matanai. Ch. 1-3: A direct continuation of last vol. Sleeping beauty turned out to be a ravenous beast (and possesive too lol) while our pauper prince try to change his mindset and be confident. ⟫ Related: Kanashii Kotoba. || Ch. 4-5: Takashi's bff and his regrets. Found a kindred spirit in the person of satoshi and so the connection is made. Sort of like an after story of KK. I like this more than kana (the cousin)'s love story haha. (But first... where's the part where satoshi should suffer for what he's done do kana) A story of two lonely people moving on and being happy together. #physical relationship to love. cafe shop owner x college student. Happened two years after Kanashii Kotoba. || FINALLY! The whole series is getting picked up! Moving to my reads --------ɫ ⬧ ɫ-------- {satoshi's chronology} ⟫ Kanashii Kotoba > Nemurenai Koibito > Chizuka-san Ni Tsutaete > Itoshi no Doctor Coat.
