In which the uke, while getting raped, feels sorry for his rapist. Yes that’s right, while actively having his ass unwillingly penetrated by his boss while at work, he thinks to himself, “aw gee, I feel so bad for this guy, for not having enough chances to blow off steam.” Where can this possibly go from here? Take a guess! Did you guess love? Ah, I see you have also read a lot of old yaoi…

It’s been a while since I read a Nastumizu title – Love Bus Stop – but this one is similar in a lot of ways; the most important one being that it features mostly older men having sex in button-up shirts. All aboard the hot salarymen fucktrain lfg

This is a one-shot compilation with what feels like a super random mix of stories, and despite them all being technically short about half of them managed to drag somehow. Don’t worry, I posted all the good sex scenes though…
Continue reading “MELTED LOVE (You Takumi)”
I’m not sure how much the mangaka intended for this to be a comedy, but despite the cover and title, that’s really what it is. Even better, it’s actually funny, and ended up being a pretty great read.

Picture this. You’re an intern. You have a crush on your boss. You secretly pine after him, day after day. You slowly befriend him outside of work. One night you’re watching TV at your place together, and the show makes him tear up. Ooo, it’s your big opportunity!

Manhattan is a nice romantic backdrop for a BL. Towering skyscrapers, the hustle and bustle of the streets, tranquil Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, horns honking all hours of the day and night, congealed garbage on the sidewalk, footlong rats eating leftover pizza crust on the subway tracks, unobstructed views of Jersey City…sorry, was that last one too gross?

This was one of the first BL titles I ever read, and I remember really liking it. I even replaced my crappy used faded copy that looked like a dog had chewed on the dust cover with a nicer one. However, now that I have hundreds of BL under my belt and I just read another title by this mangaka, I decided to see if it still held up.

…in which two teachers hook up in an empty kindergarten classroom. Do you think that’s a themed room option at love hotels?
