david_holmes's manga / #sweet(44)

Completed (read chapter 5) 2 full penetrative sex scenes (+2 implied). This is one of those super rare instances where even though the seme is mad hot and a hunk, uke is so damn cute and sweet and endearing you want him over the hot seme. Like I want to protect and treasure this uke for the rest of my life and treat him gently and lovingly because I know he’ll appreciate and treasure me too. God he’s so precious. He actually tries to change to be better and improve ans get rid of bad habits and insecurities as a person and gay man. SO PRECIOUS SO CUTE BABY. SemePOV. Takase x Itou Yuuichi. 27 x 25. Older seme x younger uke. Salarymen. Handsome seme. Gorgeous seme. Closet gay x Gay. Closet gay seme. Pretending to be straight seme. Bi seme. Dishonest seme. Cute uke. Openly gay uke. Straightforward uke. Earnest uke. Sweet uke. I really like this uke, he’s strong and sure about himself and his sexuality. He’s not hiding and says there’s no point. Cheated on uke. Cheated on seme (but didn’t care as he’s attracted to men). Confession seme.

Completed (read chapter 6.5). 1 full penetrative sex scene. I only got to know Seme’s first name from the sequel! This was so cute!! Story goes like, “Uke thought seme was after his beloved little brother so offered himself to protect little bro so seme doesn’t lay hands on him, lol”. Obvious fact: Seme was after uke all along haha. I am a total sucker for uke brothers who are brocon for each other TOO CUTE! IT’S WEIRD because I know I’ve read this before but I neither added any details here nor did I add it in my Yaoi/BL master list… unless it was on myreadingmanga archive but even so, I remember adding some info about this series because I loved it so much. I don’t remember if I finished it (I have I feeling I did) but it’s odd I have nothing saved. I usually always write if I really loved a work like I know I did here. Uke/SemePOV. Toudou Akitaka x Kirishima Naoto. Salarymen. Colleagues. Friends since university. Brother complex uke. Brocon uke. Gay x straight. Popular x popular. Handsome x handsome. Misunderstandings. Megane-kun seme. Handsome seme. Popular seme. Popular uke. Good-looking uke. Manly uke (but still obviously uke). Longtime Unrequited love seme. Confession seme.

Reading (read chapter 13). One of my absolute favourites BL works ever! Kouhei x Taichi. College students. Deaf x helper. Handsome seme. Gorgeous seme. Tall seme. Jealous seme.

Reading (read chapter 64). Introduction of another couple around chapter 48-49 (this is where I’m starting to lose interest… I lose interest when there’s another couple when the previous one isn’t done; I hate they’ve introduced a random couple I have no care for). By chapter 53, last few chapters have been about other couple and I’ve officially lost interest. The other couple doesn’t interest me with that uppity dislikable uke… Again, I VERY STRONGLY DISLIKE UKE of new couple. I hope I can just skip passed this couple and get this work over with. So sad because I was really enjoying the Heesu story. If they had introduced a character from the beginning who was close to uke or seme and that we could sympathise with the I wouldn’t have minded reading about his love story but that’s not the case. They just forced another couple down my throat that we don’t give a shit about. Make a new story if that’s the case! Like a spin-off, just like “Seeing Double” as they’re linked with Heesu somehow (students from same college). I AM LOVING THIS! THEY ARE SO CUTE OMG. Seme is so adorable trying to get close to uke slowly and cautiously as they’re not friends, just classmates. He’s so in love! I actually got butterflies in my tummy from chapter 22, where you realise just how badly seme has it for uke that he’s been in love with him for a long time and that he’s been watching him from afar waiting for a chance to get close to him without looking weird. And his jealousy when uke’s best friend confronts seme about his true feelings and reveals he knows about uke’s mole in his butt. Yep, this just became a favourite. Uke/SemePOV. Kim Seung Won x Lee Heesu (main). High school students. Classmates. Neighbours. Opposites. Not friends. Handsome seme. Gorgeous seme. Tall seme. Super tall seme. Major height difference. Manly seme. Broad shoulders seme. Smart seme. Gorgeous seme. Poker face seme. Robot seme. Only child seme. Many sisters uke. Unrequited love uke (for his best friend). Cold on the outside gentle on the inside seme (to uke only though haha). Uke calls seme a robot as he’s expressionless and poker faced. Cute uke. Snaggle tooth uke. Beauty mark uke. Mole uke. Near lip mole uke. Jealous seme. Unrequited love seme (for uke). Longtime onesided love seme. First to fall in love seme. Unrequited love uke (for his best friend Joo Chanyoung). Onesided crush seme. Onesided crush uke (for his best friend). Head over heels in love seme. Smitten seme. Pining seme. Longing seme. So in love seme. Affectionate seme (only to Uke). Lovey-dovey seme. Possessive seme. Jealous uke. Confession uke. Seme who completely loses himself when he’s in love. Bold seme. First moves seme. It’s so hot how this smart super gorgeous expressionless seme is only nice and sweet to the one he likes (uke). Chapter 22 onwards, majorly 23, seme’s jealousy of uke’s closeness to his best friend (uke’s secret crush) and how uke only does things when his BFF says so and ignores seme’s request IS SO HOT. Rhinos stomping in my gut. Chapter 33, uke finally realised himself that he’s no longer crushing on his best friend but in yet another onesided love this time with seme. But uke is more jealous and possessive of seme, hehe. So cute how seme is head over heels in love with uke. Dazed seme gets super clumsy and airheaded dropping stuff all over the place and bumping into things after uke starts showing visible signs of returning his affections that’s got him all confused. Chapter 40, confession chapter like OMG THEY ARE SO CUTE. Even though seme had finally planned to confess to uke first after taking him out on their first date (unspoken), uke confesses to seme passionately first aww! We always got SemePOV but more what he was going through and less his thoughts or feelings so we never really knew deeply what he felt or thought, only that he is madly in love with uke. But season 2 (c41) however starts off with his POV and how he fell in love with uke. How he went from just neighbours with uke being the “moody guy next door” and how it would comfort him to hear their daily shenanigans in his own quiet house. It went from finding it amusing but sometimes disruptive to curious to looking forward to hearing the boy next door. Bakappuru seme uke. Stupid couple. Stupidly in love Couple. Lovey-dovey Couple. Seme and uke are so in love they’re completely lost in their own world without caring what others may think so their friends try to knock some sense into them, especially super affectionate seme who can’t keep his hands to himself. Holding hands and smooching in public during classes, lol. Han Sunwoo x Yo Dahm. Donsaeng x hyung. 1st x 3rd. Super tall seme. Wild seme (past but in personality). Uppity uke. Antisocial uke. Serious uke. Bitch uke.

Reading (read vol.2 c05). This is very cute but again, not a work that can keep my attention so I’ve been reading a whole bunch of other stuff in between. Intercrural sex (first time sex and second was intercrural, c01 & 03 because seme’s dragon dick is too huge). Rimming (v02c04; dragon form). Tsukumo x Kurogane Murasaki. Beast x human. Dragon x human. Bestiality. Adult x high school student. Former human x human. Ryuugaeri x human. Weredragon x human. Older seme x young uke. Tagged “Furry” because it’s human inside but animal outside though he’s not a manbeast as is not humanoid. Lonely x lonely. Crybaby seme. Sad story seme. Kind uke. Generous uke. Intercrural sex (c01). Rimming (v02c04; dragon form with long tongue). Seme can transform back to human form but only for a short while so 90% of this story is in his dragon form.

Completed (read chapter 6). 2 full penetrative sex scenes. Kousaka x Kijima Jou. Classmates. Gakuran. Gap moe uke. Delinquent uke who believes in destiny and fated love. Handsome seme. Dog like seme. Happy seme. Unrequited love seme becomes required. Confession seme.

Completed (read chapter 3.5). No penetration & undetermined seme-uke. First kiss (c02-3). This was so sweet and loved it although way too short as I wanted more of those two. It’s hard to determine who’s seme/uke as no one puts it in and both can be seme/uke interchangeably. Plus, it’s hinted that the guy who acts very seme (the senpai who loves big tits) that he may bottom at the end as he says “there’s more to putting it in”. I think it’s the first time I read and thoroughly enjoy an ambiguous top/bottom pairing. Usually I like a certain predetermined seme-uke dynamic and type. The psychic guy felt uke until he threatened to rape that bastard soccer captain senpai (Kogi) that he sadly confessed to and who turned out to be a piece of shit, just to protect the boobs senpai’s (Mori) dignity when that bastard soccer captain senpai. Likewise the boobs senpai (Mori) felt seme with the way he looks plus him thinking his he wants to put it in and thinking how he wants to make psychic guy moan like crazy, until the end. Boobs senpai is a direct hit guy who’s straightforward. You get what you see types so while yes he loves big tits, he also loves psychic uke (?) and kisses him because he felt like it. Following can be reversed so this is a uke x seme or seme x seme pair with undefined end game dynamics. SemePOV. Hayashida x Mori. Kouhai x senpai. Psychic x normie. Mind reader ex-delinquent. Uke x seme. Manly uke. Uke-type seme. Seme-type uke. Blushing seme. Big boobs loving uke. I’m so surprised how much I loved this even though it’s undefined top/bottom which I usually never read! I don’t mind even whoever tops or bottoms, either is fine and that it shocking to me!

Completed (read 7.5 chapters). Their first kiss at c07.5. It felt a little boring for me at first as I was not attracted to the character designs but this was quite good. I even teared up and cried at chapter 7 when the homeless man uke saved 3 years ago back in high school recognises uke and thanks him with all his heart saying if it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t get to meet his newborn grandson, that uke is “incredibly kind and strong”. The way the panels showed it was so touching and made me very emotional. Uke also for really emotional afterwards and seme was there for him. God, that got me in the feels BAD. This was very sweet and got better as I read. SemePOV. Shishido Junpei x Onizuka Leo. University students. Reencounter. Reunion. Former same high school. Sociable x antisocial. Friendly x unfriendly. Popular seme (friends). Tall seme. Very tall seme. Kind seme. Loner uke. Bamf uke. Strong uke. Ex-Yankee uke. Ex-delinquent uke. Rude uke. Antisocial uke. Misunderstood uke. Seme is troubled when he realises a fellow student at his university doesn’t like him blatantly and seme is confused every time they cross paths why uke is rude and unfriendly when he tries to be nice and courteous. Uke used to have a bad rep in high school so people avoided him out of fear or what not and seme did not recognise him due to uke dyeing his hair. Seems, uke did have a hardcore reputation for getting into fights and being very strong and putting kids from other schools in hospital. This is just partly true. Uke had a super strong half-Japanese ex-military grandfather whom he was extremely close to and was practically raised by as his parents were always away. Uke’s grandad taught him everything to survive but mainly to fight but to be as strong as he kind. In high school, uke saved a homeless man who was being severely beaten from some school thugs and as he is strong and defeated 3 students, he got a rep as delinquent you don’t mess with so others didn’t approach him. Then due to his rep, other school thugs kept picking fights with him so uke was just defending himself and because he always won being strong and all, his fearsome reputation as top dog and bad boy made him even more unapproachable and seme had always stayed away too. But all uke wanted was a normal life with friends so vowed to have that in university by going to one far away. That’s why he was pissed seeing seme there (uke recognised him immediately as seme stands out due to his tall height). Uke says he’s got no friends and seme offers and they start becoming real close and seeing uke disarmed and smiling and letting him in, seme starts to fall for uke. Seme falls in love first. Being scared, seme starts to distance himself abs avoid uke but instead of letting it go uke confronts seme as seme is important to him. They get attacked from behind by some hooligans from uke’s yankee past seeking revenge on uke. Uke takes the beating feeling somewhat bad as it was his ex-girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend whom she had dumped for uke back then but when uke sees they beat up seme unconscious and gang leader tries to slice off Seme’s earlobe, uke loses it and goes bankai on their asses. They make up afterward when seme inadvertently confesses his feelings and uke realises that’s the reason seme has been avoiding him. Confession seme. Uke let’s seme know he’s not opposed to the idea and to try it and seme is flustered not knowing what to do with himself.
