High-school Student (17) x Older Sister's friend|Novelist (24) One of my old favourites. I think it's one of the best BL from the 90s. Probably many works took inspiration from this later on, especially in regard to age-gap theme, so it's a story to read! To be honest, I don't like psycho ex-lovers still hanging around in an obsessive, stalkery way, trying to take back the person even with force, rape etc., so the whole drama with Ren's ex-lover Hirose was not exactly my type of thing. But overall the story was really good and engaging! Also, I'm weak when it comes to age gap / youth x adult, cohabitating due to certain circumstances and such, so I really enjoyed the interaction and the development of the relationship between Ren and Jouji! In the end, I was so glad to see them looking happy together! > Note: The title "Yume no Kodomo" is actually the title of one of the novels written by Ren. And that novel is Youji's favourite, but at the beginning he doesn't know that his favourite (female) author is actually Ren, whom he hates at first...Ahhh such fate!! > Vol. 2 ch. 4 - First Kiss. > Vol. 3 ch. 3 - They kiss again. > Vol. 4 ch. 6 - Drunk Ren gets more intimate with Youji till giving him a blowjob. > Vol. 5 ch. 2 - Getting intimate again without being drunk. > Vol. 5 ch. 5 - They do it for the first time together. > Vol. 6 ch. 4 - Youji topping for the first time. # Straight Uke x Bisexual Seme (Uke in previous relationship) // Seke // Reversible Couple // Love Confession // Slow Romance // Unexpected Feelings // Unrequited Love Becomes Requited Side Story: Tsuioku no Shounen (not scanlated) - mangaupdates.com / series.html?id=11528
