Yakuza wo Shibatte Ii desu ka
The story takes a surprisingly dark, sad, but interesting turn with the seme's tie in with the Yakuza. And I definitely didn't expect this to be any more than a bondage kink thing. Don't get me wrong the H SCENES were still super hot But TBH I ended up getting a pretty invested into the plot itself lol.
Punch Drunk Love
3.75 Very conflicted feelings about this one. There's a lot of second hand embarrassment because the uke is always doing the most and is pretty cringe. Also the seme is often not super likable. In for most of the story the seme seems like he was barely tolerating the uke. But after like about 40 chapters it does get pretty funny and ridiculous and It is a bit believable when especially the seme falls for him. The whole office politics that this story is mainly based in is so uninteresting and confusing. Will continue to read as there is some moments that are very sweet and funny but it's also not super my cup of tea.
Kabukichou Bad Trip
AHHHHH OMG THIS IS SO GREAT. This such a refreshing. Take on BDSM in a yaoi. The couple is so healthy and communicative and always very clear about boundaries and checking in. If this is more accurate portrayal of what it's like for a BDSM couple then I'm very impressed by the mangaka's understanding. While I do think the mind reading part is a bit pointless, it's still used as a decent plot device.
Kemono Asobi
Masochistic uke and stoic seme... Not sure how I feel about this
