Itonaga-kun no Koi no Ito
I LOVED THIS AHHH~ Prob one of my favorites. I've never read a yaoi with the mc having slit (?) eyes, so this was kinda new to me. I LOVED THESE TWO OMG. Sanada is such a daddy and Itonaga is so precious and is pretty kinky himself hehehe. I'm glad they both grew and overcame their problems and worries together.
Soshite Mata Kiss wo Shite
This was a good, pretty realistic yaoi. I really like the issue with homophobia they touched up on within the classroom, and the fear that the main uke was feeling whenever the conversation of "homos" were briught up. And that the classmate may have seemed like he was homophobic but in reality he also loved another guy who ended up betraying him, which is why he didn't want to be reminded whenever he saw the main couple together. I'm glad there was also that other classmate who just wanted to support his friends regardless of who they liked. I'm happy to see character development in the uke, classmate, and even the seme.

Ahaaaa love these kind of semes, especially when they show that coldness/mischief in their eyes. Thought the seme would be more toxic, but I'm glad that didn't turn out to be the case. It was pretty cute, and I agree with the author that the Ukes who are teased or self-conscious are great hehe, especially when they start learning some more self-worth / learning that people actually love them.
Hitori to Hitori no 3650nichi
First story: When I first "opened" the book, I thought I wouldn't enjoy the art, and was a bit hesitant because art is an important part of the story for me. BUT AS I CONTINUED READING I ENDED UP LOVING IT and I love the way the author drew the eyes so much, you could def see the improvements of the author. This story was so heavy, but I loved the plot and seme and how kind and loving he was. I feel bad for the uke (I am REALLY bad with names), and even though he called his friend disgusting because he liked him, I still didn't hate him. He had feelings for him as well, but he caved into the pressure and expectations of society, and I understand how conflicting and scary that can be. Of course I wish he didn't call his friend disgusting, I'm sure the seme wouldn't be as strong and prepared as he was after all those years passed. I'm sooo glad the seme had the courage and love to help the uke also mend his scars. ️ Second story: Yoooo I love this sm. The seme was so hot, and I love how the uke was strong but didn't have a lot of stamina in bed . The art in this was really good, and this was actually the story I was looking forward to once I saw the intro page to the yaoi itself. You could tell The uke was really lonely, so the fact that the seme just misunderstood what he said and left after fcking him. And the uke's (sad and unsure) face when he saw the caller ID of the seme :((. This is why you should talk things out and ask what they mean, because you never know unless they say it specifically.
Kiss de Egaku Ittousei
A very good read. Uke has a past experience of rape and sexual abuse by a guy he liked, which was sad. Uke is very sweet and actually assertive. Also, SEME IS ADORABLE. Puppy-dog deme who even has hair like ears. Very respectful, considerate, and outgoing. His family is very outgoing and kind as well. Love how the sensei was a good person who helped students and listened to their problems and gave them advice.
Toumei ni Kuchizuke
*Breathes a sigh of relief* DUDE. I'M SO GLAD THE ENDIGN WASN'T LIKE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. Y'all the trauma in here was so sad. I've heard how sometimes victims of sexual assault feel guilty for enjoying the sensations that the abuser forced on them, but it really isn't the victims fault. It's so sad and disgusting how they have to live through the trauma and feelings that were caused by the abusers in the first place. Of course, I'm not saying that the victims themselves are disgusting, but the fact that they had to go through that in the first place because of someone else's fualt. My boy in here really made progress.

HE LOOKS LIKE AYATO Honestly I wish there was more sex scenes between the seme & uke. Idk, most of it was just the uke with customeras or flashbacks of his traumatic experience. A bit too fast as well if you ask me :/
