takame's manga / #lovers(48)

Simple but entertaining short stories with nice art. I especially like the first story. | ch. 1-2: Funny yakuza heir x ordinary man pair. I love, LOVE LOOOOVE the yakuza wingman's deadpan face. Cracks me up. ~Yakuza guy fell in-love at first sight at the kind guy who helped him when nobody else does. There's one problem tho. He's the gumi's son and heir even though it's been a year since they were acquainted it seems that there's an arrange marriage that will happen? poor bocchama. .//. ch. 3-4: they're #lovers of 3 months yet seme does not want to sully his pure angel. but "angel" uke is actually a nympho? now uke started worrying that he's pressuring the seme from his appetite for sex. uber cute #uni students romance. #popular, #formerly straight seme. .//. ch. 5-6: six yrs ago he almost became a pedo LOL so MC ran away to tokyo partly to escape away from this kid. His folks forced him to take a paid leave so he's unhappily back in the country and the now-college boy's first introduction after a long while is... french kissing. One thing's unchanged tho. It's still so hard to reason out with the cheeky brat. I like him, haha. .//. ch. 6.5: firs pair omake.

# elite businessman x fashion coordinator one fine example of a couple that is really opposite of each other in every way but managed to work out their huge difference (in a comedic fashion). It really is, as the seme narrates. He is an elite. Rich, high position in a top company and overall living an elegant life. Unfortunately, this "pretentious hippie" of a slob who is his long-time "friend" does not care for his status but makes him cook and take care of him and even let him use his PS2. #spoiled uke: it's hard to find this kind of uke who is spoiled and a bit bratty but you will not hate. normally, i ended up getting annoyed with those kind of ukes but his personality combination is perfectly weaved together that his brattyness turned out adorable

2017 Update: Lowkey assuming it's on hiatus but I'm so glad it got picked up. Rereading. Very pretty art. Character look the same so I'm starting to think the mangaka intended to make them AN ALTERNATIVE INCARNATION of the MCs? | Chapters Synopsis Ch.1, ch. 5 page 36-48: genius chocolatier that is quite forward in expressing his feelings. he's the one that first confessed to the stupid seme. .// Ch.2: A prince who is actually far from being one. he's a clutz, absent-minded and badly needed assistance. then a really pretty guy (yet had a complex about being called girly-looking) proclaimed they were rivals and bet on winning the beauty pageant. #popular x popular. #rivalry love #male pageant. .//. Ch 3: #childhood friends who always competed since small for everything: from school to their part-time job... well, it's just mostly the smaller guy tho. And he's pissed that the black-haired boy is so chill. One day he lost a best and instead of a punch he got a kiss. Bothered, he's became very conscious about it. This kid is so tsundere! LFMAO. #cool seme x #tsundere uke, #rivalry #friends to lovers. ch. 4: The premise is cutely amusing. Uke mistook a crossdressed actor as a women so he fell inlove at first sight and confessed. Interesting enough, despite that they still kept their relationship. Oneshot started with them going out for one month already and uke thought it should be enough to progress to going all the way. One thing he did not expect tho: He's the one on the receiving role instead of his beautiful actor lover. #bully seme x naive uke / actor seme x ordinary uke. ch. 5: OMG hilarious. A young and handsome man is trying out to be a seiyuu (voice actor) and the kind neighbor enjoys his voice. And because of one compliment, this young guy started acting odd, and it's kind of embarrassing especially when the MC salaryman kept rebuffing him with matter-of-fact replies it almost came out as sarcastic hahaha. ✫3.5

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.

One amusing thing about this whole volume is that they had the theme of animal comparisons for every pair. Cute and kinda unique. (raws link at the bottom+) ch. 1-2, 8: {hebi x kuma} #officemates. MC badly wishes to settle down w/ a wife and kids. There's one who badly wanted to be his wife tho, but it's a guy and he's mostly joking. A year has passed and the "joke" is still on but now they even started having sex, as much as it displeased MC. Until the day he realized that kuma's totally not joking at all. MC also realized his feelings at the same time. Cute blush bb. ch. 3-4: {cry-baby doggie seme} Hahaha, now that's what I call the cool office I wanted to work at. Uke broke up with the super clingy seme and the poor guy can't work properly. (They were in different departments) Uke might come off as a cold guy but there is a reason behind his action and it's so sweet. All seme needs to do is to stop crying and figure it all out. I just love all the guys in sales department they are so supportive of the couple. Especially Watanori-san who worked so hard to get them make-up and even if part of it is for Kokusho to be productive, it's still nice of him to make an actual effort. ---- waiting to get translated: ch. 5-6: #childhood friends. smol ikemen princess x ordinary friend who is like a doggie servant. princess is first seme's little bro. ch. 7: is that yasuda-san? looks like him and a new guy. ch. 8: omake. raws @MRM: https://myreadingmanga.info/hidou-tei-please-marry-jp/

Hana Ni Kuchizuke > Hana to Ikkun | Related: Moon and sun (hana's master) Now that they are together ofc they'd had some little miscommunication issues, Ikkun's cute :D I'm happy that once he realizes his idiocy, he'd apologize. The boy Ikkun's tutoring GAVE ME CANCER so when Hana broke his nose, I'm sooo satisfied. Note: Cameo of the next would-be couple [2017-09-26 05:39 marked]

So happy whenever I see a manga uploaded in one go. (NEWS: READ AUTHOR'S NOTES PPL!) Disbanded & now each one had their own lives. The MCs, the guitarist & his childhood friend were ALREADY LOVERS at the start of the story. Everyone lowkey hoped to re-form their band but it's all up to the flighty but genius guitarist (& his hearing issue). #flashback of how the couple hooked up in the middle of the volume.

⟫ Sayonara Game > Change World. FIN, 6 chaps. 2018 EDIT: WOOT there's VOL 2! Sayonara game is already good but this is explosive. The reason why I made full marks on this manga is that it is impressive overall. IMO, it has more depth and introspection than the last one and I kind of preferred that while the serious villain who tried to go between them spiced things up and bring it to a higher level. i love matsu. he's the uke's classmate so he's also arimura's kohai. he's finally figured out that sempai and itou were lovers and he is a very considerate and supportive friend after the discovery.

just noticed this new kanda neko. waiting till it gets marked as finished. // @2017 EDIT: Aand FINALLY it's finished! <3 This uke is so cute and amusing. I had a hard time telling what goes on his mind haha. Truly moe~. UPDATED SYNOPSIS: Two officemates are now together but so far they haven't done it yet. Finally agreed on a set date and the low-key bully seme wanted to teach uke and have the pleasure to see the usually standoffish man squirm but he's calm instead? @chap. 6 ~ the mystery of ao's tsuntsun face vs dere face is made known! #seme - has this cool aura around him but the way he carries sweets in his pockets and eat it to calm himself in some situation is pretty cute. #fluffy-smutty #beautiful art #chara gap ➤ ☆ 4.5 stars

⟫ Family Simulation (related) > Himitsu no Love Sensation, w/ NishinoxAsahi cameo. A multiple couple school romance featuring teacher couple's everyday life and the student in-love with the now-teen baby Masaki (family simulation) still airheaded as ever. main couple: #5 year age gap. New but energetic sensei (uke) and cool sensei who teaches him the ropes. #already lovers at the start but it followed up with a backstory of how they got together. secondary couple {ch.5-8}: the student whom Ueno-sensei confides to has been crushing on masaki since they were kids. he wanted his heart tho, not the body. Being a horny teen, seme messed up the order of courtship. They were too focused on their own unrequited love to notice the shift of feellings of the other. A cute, teary misunderstanding of each other's feelings but were resolved in the end w/ some little help of the main sensei couple. @ch. 5: cameo of a more matured asahi and nishino around 37yo, still a pair of handsome men. (shit forgot to move to already read tab. 2017-10-07 02:51 marked)
