SpringHaze's manga / #Older seme(4)

The version on mangago is missing some panels in chapter 5.5 (the complete sex scene to be exact) and so does the one on mangarock, it's driving me bonkers. No other aggregator site seems to have that version and I'm starting to think I hallucinated the whole thing, but I clearly remember this issue months ago and that I did manage to find the complete extra chapter. I despair! That being said, this manga is definitely one of my favourite ever, wholesome and sweet and with the most amazing and respectful seme to ever top, seriously, that guy is golden, older, a complete gentleman who doesn't shy away from domestic chores, settled and making money, dynamite in the sack and gentle as a caress. I'm stealing this comment, because it hits all the good points: He oozes masculinity. Domineering without being creepy, yet at the same time he projects a quiet strength, confidence and he provides the much needed dedication, security and tenderness for his partner. He is Ise's safe haven, while respecting his feelings, needs and boundaries. He fuckin' respects Ise, man! Also, I've never read a yaoi where the top's attraction and love for their partner was so visceral and palpable. An ideal partner in my book, which is so rarely encountered in the yaoi realm. Bravo, Ueda Aki, you are one hell of a lady (and mangaka)! :) P.S. Their first make out scene (well, all of them, really) and the glove bit towards the end, the whole sex scene (he used a fuckin' condom, dear God, safe sex in yaoi , hallelujah!) are some of the most sensual scenes I've ever seen/read in my whole life.

I don't really like Shun the pushy groping bottom.

I kept seeing this on French sites, I'm so glad Tokyopop has it printed, I do love Lyee Kitahala's work. This is fluffy and happy and hopeful and all the wholesome things topped with a tiny bit of miscommunication angst. Riku keeps getting broken up with - and we find out it's because he won't have sex with his boyfriends because the first guy he ever slept with called him a boring lay - and the last breakup makes him courageous enough for a one night stand with his flirtatious boss (I wish we'd see more of this supposed big flirt, because Josh seems anything but). Except ofc Riku is not built for one night stands or the casual fuckbuddies situationship Josh seems to propose, so he falls in love with this smooth man 20 years his senior, who is very kind and very good in bed, takes care of him and makes him feel cherished. Like, yeah girl, I get it! Josh comes from the same school of thought as Aki Ueda's Hishimoto (Koi Ga Ochitara), he's very much the same silver fox breed of guy and he is so, so sweet to Riku, respectful and caring. Can you believe I'm only giving this 4 stars because it's too wholesome and I need more spice in my yaoi?

Loved this, heart-warming and sweet, both guys are grouchy and they are a joy to read. Where's Yasu's story, the cool yakuza right-hand?
