Manga: Soba ni Oitene

Soba ni Oitene has two love stories. It is written by Sakuragi Yaya, one of my fave mangakas. :D

The first love story "By Your Side" is about two high school students that grew up together. It's one of those stories that one boy is quite girly and the other is not. It has its funny moments that's why I want to share this to everyone. :D

Yuzu (Uke)

Yuzu (Shibata Yuzuru) transfered to Tokyo when he was a small kid. Because other kids bullied him, Icchan would come to his rescue. Eversince they were kids, he love Icchan and dreamed of being his "princess". But when they reach high school, he grew taller than him. He felt awkward about this. He thought that his dream of being Icchan's princess is destroyed. Still he tried harder to be suitable to him. He trained himself to be his future "bride" so he joined the Home Economics club to learn how to cook very well. Everyday, he prepares obento for Icchan and Icchan enjoys his company and the food. 

Yuzu has been asked by a karate captain who was a pervert to join the club because of his height. When Icchan learned about this, he got jealous. That jealousy arrive to Icchan's confession. Yuzu was surprised that Icchan thought thesame as he thought of him. Though the tallest, Yuzu is the Uke of this series. Not only was Yuzu pursued by a karate club because of his height, but also by a drama club leader where he acted as the "Prince." He asked Icchan to help him practice his lines. He adore Icchan so much because he can learn things easily. At thesame time, Yuzu was dieting because he was conscious that he gained weight so he wasn't eating very well for many days. On the day that the drama club had a performance, he fainted on stage. When he gained consciousness, Icchan was carrying him, like one would carry a sack of rice. Yuzu was so disappointed and told Icchan that it's not what he expected him to do. He admitted that he always dream being carried like a "princess" by Icchan. So Icchan gave him that. Whoa! Unbelievably he can carry Yuzu like a "princess" due to his daily activities where he acquired strength. I forgot to mention that he "K.O.-ed" the captain of the karate club because of his jealousy. Hehe. Then there's another person that pursued Yuzu. She fell in-love with the "fainted Yuzu" during the drama club presentation. She is a senpai and a former captain of the kendo club. She pushed herself on Yuzu by joining the home economics club, too. Although she doesn't know how to cook. She would tell him that she wants to protect him. But one day, while seducing Yuzu on a day off of the club, an accident occur in the kitchen where Yuzu protected her instead. She was so nervous and came along Icchan who stopped the fire. Icchan told her something that made her realize how she disrespected Yuzu. After this incident, along came the elder brother of Icchan where he made Yuzu do things so the two lovers won't be able to meet for a week. When are they going to have a peaceful and lovey-dovey relationship with all these weird people coming between them? *sighs*

17

Citizenship:

Japanese

Hair: 

Short/Light Brown

Physical Attributes and Personality: 

Taller than anyone else in school (182cm), all he ever think about is how to please Icchan and become his future "bride" so he doesn't know that he's considered a "school's celebrity", friendly and quite popular with his home economics classmates and he acts like a girl with them. He can be insecure but definitely a hard-working and very understanding guy.

Activities/Hobbies:

He loves to cook! He does it so well so that Icchan will like him. (But he's already liked eversince primary school, hehe)

Icchan (Seme)

Icchan (Yogi Issei)  has been friends with Yuzu eversince they were young. He protects him from bullies. They grew up together but reaching high school, Yuzu became taller than him. He doesn't admit it at first, but he really loves Yuzu. He loves his childishness and naivety. Also Yuzu is quite hard-working, and he praises him so he will be less insecure. He also know that Yuzu is conscious with his height being taller than him. So he told him that one day he will grow taller. As his adam's apple hasn't developed yet. His parents are both tall, so as his older brother. 

When someone wants to go between them, he shows his feelings for Yuzu. Like for example, he got jealous of the karate club captain (Oosumi senpai) that kept pursuing Yuzu to be a member of his club, but it looks like that wasn't his attention. So Icchan gave him a warning not to touch Yuzu again. And when he wasn't listened to, he K.O.-ed that karate captain, taller and bigger than him! It was so cool... (now I look like Yuzu when admiring Icchan hahaha!)

Then came the female senpai from a kendo club that thought Yuzu is a weakling. He didn't like her for that reason. So on the day that he stopped the fire in the home economics club room, he told her that no matter what she does, she's just another girl who would get scared of accidents. While Yuzu will always be a man. Who's instinct will that be of a man and will find ways to protect women. Icchan also told her that she had disrespected Yuzu by treating him as a weakling. I think that this made her gave up on Yuzu. Yuzu was so flattered, he thinks Icchan is super cool! (me too!) After this incident, along came Icchan's elder brother who will work as a temporary librarian at their school. His brother realized that Yuzu has feelings for his little brother so he teased him. He made Yuzu help him out at the library. He used the reason that Icchan cannot walk very well (due to an accident where he caught Yuzu falling from the stairs, he sprained his foot) , so the two cannot be together even after school. After a week of exhaustion, Yuzu decided to visit Icchan at his house. Then the elder brother told him that Icchan is taking a bath. Yuzu left immediately then texted Icchan. They both realize that the reason they haven't seen each other for a week because of elder brother's doings. When they met at their usual meeting place (the park), the nii-san was dragged by the younger brother. He admitted that he was testing Yuzu's capability of loving Icchan. Icchan told his elder brother that he's the one who is madly in-love with Yuzu and there's nothing he can do about it. And so, the next school day, the 3 of them drive to school together. ^__^

Manga: Can't Become the Perfect Prince

Also known as "Oujisama ni Narenai" is the work of Kamon Saeko. Her characters always look beautiful so I quite enjoy the art. I have to warn though, that her characters can be similar from her other works.

So this one-shot I found long ago, is one of those young boys story where the setting is inside the school. This time it's in the library. Yeah...books and book cases. Who's got a fetish for this?

Satonaka (Uke)

He first appeared on the first page of the manga during his confession to "the School Prince." By a glance, he's an aloof guy, look nerd with the glasses and usually serious but he actually works at the school's library. That's where he saw Honda and fell-in-love with him. He observed that Honda is only acting toward the girls and everytime he rejects them, he found it admirable that the girls can be very honest although they already expected to be rejected. That's why he thought he should confess too. But it didn't go right, of course. Although he's been rejected by him, his feelings hasn't changed. He even told him that he'll keep it a secret from the rest about his true behavior. When they became friends, Honda would ask him about fairytale books and he suggested quite a few to him. When the day came that he had to get rid of his eyeglasses, Honda came back to the library with a bunch of girls which hurt him. So when he went inside the library's office, Honda followed and confessed his feelings by making love to him. 

Age: 
17+

Citizenship:

Japanese

Hair: 

Short/Black

Physical Attributes and Personality:

A short boy, younger than Honda, always wearing eyeglasses, and a quite meek guy. He loves reading fairy tales and probably other books as well. Looks like he's quite studious, too. He's also very trustworthy and honest.

Activities/Hobbies:

 He loves reading books and he helps out in the school's library. 

Honda (Seme)

He is known in school as "The School Prince" because of his good looks and "proper" behavior dealing with girls. He's very selfish and only cares about his good looks and status in school. One day, he got confessed by a boy, Satonaka. He was surprised because that was the first time that a guy did it. Faith keeps them, so when he went to the library to return an overdue book, they met the second time. In between their short conversation, he asked him about the books he read and was told "fairytales". He told him immediately that those kind of stories are for children. Thus he was given a book by Satonaka and surprisingly, he became very interested on the subject, thus they became good friends. How his feelings developed for Satonaka, in this one-shot it's very fast. He just realized that one day he likes his honesty and how he flustered when he took off his eyeglasses... Then one day, he just pushed him between books and book case. That's how he confessed.

Age: 
18+

Citizenship:

Japanese

Hair: 

Short/Blonde

Physical Attributes and Personality:

Very handsome and proper that's why he's called "the Prince". But in reality he's just another narcissist. He likes to act like a Prince to hide his real personality to others. He's selfish, arrogant, and quite carefree. After he met Satonaka, love changed him and you can see him as a man more with action than words. 

Activities/Hobbies:

 Active in school activities. He also became a reader of fairy tales due to the influence of Satonaka.

Here I offer to you the 2nd story from "Ai ni Somare". I really like this one-shot by the way. It's corny though, hahahaha!



Manga: Tenshi Wo Otose: 1st story: The Fallen Angel

The first story of this series is a couple from an All Boys School. Written by Piyoko Chitose, it is basically a manga filled with one-shots. On this post, I will take note of the main characters from the 1st story, "The Fallen Angel". The continuation of the couple's episode will be on Chapter 6. This is another story from sensei about a senpai being the uke and its kouhai, the seme.

Mitsumoto (Uke)

As a Student Council President and also the dorm leader of the school, he is strict with rules. One night, he found Tamaki climbing the wall of the school dorm since the entrance was already closed. After giving him punishment, Tamaki would follow him around. One day, his kouhai confessed to him but he rejected him. Tamaki kept pestering him so he decided to finish the 'one week ban of not going out' earlier than it should be. After this event, Tamaki pursued him aggressively than usual. He let down his guard down one time so he was dragged to an Aquarium park. He is always thinking of school business and his studies so he barely has time to go out and have fun with others. But Tamaki made him see a simple enjoyment and he was grateful to him. But after they left the park, Tamaki confessed to him again! Even though he resisted, he ended up in a love hotel with him. After that, he was followed at the dorm's bathroom. ^_^

Tamaki Ouga (Seme)

 

One night,Tamake was caught by Mitsumoto senpai climbing the wall of the school dorm. As punishment, he was banned for going out at night for a week. He thought of a strategy to make the well-known stubborn student council President do as he pleases. So the next time they meet, he confessed to him. He is very confident of his looks so he never doubted that even guys won't be able to resist him. It is also his first time to confess to a guy (and it's all lies, of course.) In the end, he was rejected.

But after pursuing senpai, he realized that he's not a bad guy afterall. He is supposed to get a heavy punishment for coming back to dorm after curfew, but senpai did not tell the teachers about it. In the end he was the one that fell-in-love with him. He feel like he always want to be with his senpai so one day he dragged  him to an Aquarium park, without a thought. He had a good time and learned more of senpai's natural reactions. So before they return to the dorm, he confessed to him again. Mitsumoto wouldn't believe him so Tamaki dragged him to a love hotel where their bodies tell the story instead.

Manga: Hoshigarimasen! Katsumade Wa: Extra One-shot

Hello everyone! 

I decided to do this quick post today since the handsome sensei is waiting impatiently to be listed on my blog. Hahahaha! You can find the link of the characters from the main story (Couple #1).

The last chapter is a one-shot about the elder brother of Nakatani Hiyori. He is the well-known handsome nutritionist of Houka Academy Institution. Then finally I will close the list of important characters from this manga.

Inoue Kusakabe (Uke)

 

He met Nakatani at Houka Academy, an All-Boys school. He was an active track and field athlete. He never liked Nakatani sensei because he knew that he is a pervert and uses his popularity to seduce young boys. But he was captivated by him when he became his food tester. He especially learned from sensei the importance of nutrition to an athlete. His parents were never home most of the time and he would eat convenience store or fast food meals daily. So when sensei became his food advisor, he was noted during his practice: "not looking pale and his condition back to normal."

The night his parents told him that they're divorcing, Nakatani sensei called him. Inoue kun depress as he is, asked if he could stay at his sensei's house for that night. When he went there, he realized his feelings for the perverted older man and gave himself out to him. But he never said his true feelings and thoughts for him.

After many years, you see him as a co-teacher of Nakatani sensei. He is a track and field coach for the students of  Houka Academy. He would consult Nakatani sensei about the proper diet of his students. He appeared in chapter 3.

Nakatani Sawa (Seme)

Nakatani sensei is the nutritionist and dorm manager of Houka Academy Institution. He is popular because he's quite handsome and easy-going. As much as he helps the students to be healthy, they are also his prey for his "after class private lesson." He got interested with Inoue kun because he's a stubborn kid. So one day he dragged him to his hide-out and asked him to be his food tester. But the truth is, he wants him to eat healthily. By doing so, he gained his trust. Later, he took advantage of him by giving him a BJ at his residential home and god knows it will be more than just a BJ if chibi Hiyori did not appear!

[ Chibi Hiyori ]

He appeared in the first 4 chapters because he is the elder brother of Hiyori kun. It may look like he wants to have incestuous relationship with him, but it's only because he cares alot. He mentioned that they both look thesame. He also warned his brother's lover not to do "bad" things on him, but that's because he's afraid that he will be raped.

Thank you Nakama for the wonderful scanlation!!! Please visit their website for further information where to get a copy of this manga!

Manga: A Toy with Sadness

Happy New Year! 

I wish your 2011 will be a memorable one!

 

I'm wishing for more Yaoi mangas to be available online or else I'm going to die of "yaoi starvation"! With all the in and out fuss going around about this genre to be banned in Japan, well it's in adult category so I guess we are pass that issue. The licensing of several famous mangas outside Japan will also have effects on the work of scanlation groups'  like they have to stop scanlating a licensed manga in USA and it's been a growing trend. You will be angry, BUT do not blame the scanlation groups. We should be thankful they offered free stuff online and well, we can buy the manga when we can, right? So let's hope to find a keepsake, buy them, and continue supporting the mangakas! Don't forget to thank the scanlation groups on their forum! :D

I will start year 2011 with a 1 Volume manga by CJ Michalski. The mangaka is one of my favorite artists. It's neatly scanlated by Liquid Passion so if you want to have this on your hard drive, please visit their website.

The first 3 chapters is the main story  about a young, sadist Seme and an older, submissive Uke. Both in their high school. If you like a bit of these: torture, possessiveness, rape, butt plugs - then you might try reading it, if you haven't yet. The rest of the stories are one-shots where I will post the characters later on.

Nonomura Shinobu (Uke)

 The eldest amongst his siblings, he came from a poor family with many children. When his father fell ill, their small family-run business went downhill. He decided to find work at the Hanabishi family and that's where he met Kengo. He is his master.  Their sexual relationship started when one day as they were hiding inside the closet, his master molested him. That day changed their 'simple' master-slave relationship into a darker one.

He studies at Hanabishi Academy where only the well-off goes. But because of his work connection with the Hanabishi's, he was admitted and became the senpai of Kengo. As an outcast, he never had any friends until he met the transferred student, Yasouka. One time, he stayed with him in the library. He was caught by Kengo who was impatiently waiting to have lunch with his toy and ended up raped in the Information Room. Unfortunately for Yasouka, he learned who is Shinobu to Hanabishi Kengo. It's not known why he transferred school a few days later so Shinobu lost an only friend.  

Depress about the thought of being  Kengo's toy, he decided to leave the family, work in a company and not continue college. When Kengo found out about it, he raped him and never made it to the interview. After that, he decided to finally leave being his slave then went back to his family. Fortunately, their family business is back on track so he helped his dad. While with his family, all he ever think about is Kengo. What is going on?

 Age:

18-19

Citizenship:

Japanese
Height/Weight:
Normal
Hair:
Short/Blonde

Physical Attributes and Personality: 

He's not very slender nor very tall but he's quite cute. Normally, he's insecure because he lives in a world where only rich people go. His strongest characteristic I think, is that of being a submissive uke. He is a very  patient, caring, have perseverance, and family-oriented person that he would sacrifice everything for them. Because he is shy, he won't admit that he quite enjoys being a sex slave of Kengo, instead he complains. He thinks that Kengo sees him only as a "toy" so he's afraid he will be thrown aside someday. He had a long way to understand a sadist's love.

Activities/Hobbies:

He runs errand for Kengo even buying sex toys at sex shops. He tends on Kengo's sexual needs, with or without toys. Most of the time he will be raped. He also do some house work around the Hanabishi's house.

Hanabishi Kengo (Seme)

 The only son of the rich Hanabishi Family. He became the young master of Shinobu after meeting him at his house, at a much younger age. He called Shinobu his "new toy" so their first meeting was memorable because Shinobu slapped his hand. He found that interesting so the poor boy was offered work. As they were growing up, he tricked him by telling his bodyguard to pretend that he's looking for him so he can hide with Shinobu in the closet. That's where the sexual assault started and Shinobu became his sex slave - his "most" interesting toy.

During high school, Shinobu became his senpai. They would usually eat lunch and go home together. Sometimes he would tease his slave by asking him to buy sex toys in a sex shop while on his school uniform. Because of his misbehavior and aggressive moves, he gave a wrong impression that he's only using Shinobu for sex and will throw him aside whenever he gets tired of him- just like his play toys . But actually, he doesn't want to let go of Shinobu because he likes him alot. He confessed to him after sleeping on his bed - well it was more of sleep talking on things he cannot tell when he's awake.

Age:

17-18

Citizenship:

Japanese

Height/Weight:

Tall

Hair:

Short/Black

Physical Attributes and Personality: 

Well-built man, much bigger than Shinobu although he's a year younger than him. Spoiled, aggressive, arrogant, and impatient. A completely sadistic and young seme, one of the reasons I like him because he never stops pursuing Shinobu and when he starts being a wanton, he continues it 'till the end regardless of the place and time. *Rawr*  ^_^

He never admits that he likes Shinobu, but he actually cares for him. His possessiveness towards him is quite enormous.

Activities/Hobbies:

His favorite hobby and interest is playing with his human toy - Shinobu. He loves putting butt plugs on him then tease him in school. Because of his built figure, I think he is active in sports or frequently work out in a gym.  He would choose to be absent in school to have sex at home.
He drinks alcoholic stuff and encourages Shinobu to do so because when the latter is drunk, he become lustful and revealing.

-End-

 It's been snowing once in awhile and I always wanted to make a snowman.

I hope this year I can make one...

Manga: Hero Mitai Ni

Also known as "Like a Hero" and scanlated by Hochuuami, this manga  is a one-shot work of my #1 favorite mangaka, Yamane Ayano. Eventhough she's my most favorite, I have not made bios of most of her characters that's because almost all of them have fanlisting sites if not personal forums. It's obvious that I am avoiding the famous characters in the Yaoi industry because you can find infos about them, so easily. But someday, I promise myself that I will write about them on my blog.

So about this one-shot, it is a story of High School boys. They are relatives and living in the same roof. The pairing is: the older boy as the uke and the younger one as the seme. I can say this is a hard yaoi (you always expect that from all of sensei's works) and eventhough it's just a one-shot I enjoyed my time reading it.

Tooyama Keiichi (Uke)

  

He is a 3rd year in HS and older than Kaname by a year. It looks like his parents died from a car accident that's why he was adopted by Kaname's family. Originally, they are cousins. When they were kids, he saved Kaname from a car accident. He was also the reason why the younger boy enjoyed his childhood.

They go to same school and lately he's been having problems dealing with the attitude of his brother. 

At school, he's known for his good deeds like one day while walking with Kaname, he saved a young girl from being hit by a car. One of his female classmates saw him and spread the news at school. It shows that he's got more friends than his known "brother."

He is a baseball player.

He is a year younger than him so he calls him "Kei-nii."  During a car accident when he was a kid, he was saved by Keiichi and he can never forget this. Later on, when he realized that his desire for his older brother is love, he tried avoiding him. In doing so, he made Keiichi worried that he went to the club where he hangs out.

Manga: Royal Fiancé

Royal Fiancé   is the work of Kamon Saeko (art)  and Asuma Risai (story). It is scanlated by Shinmakoku Scanlation and Black Lilac Scans.

The characters are drawn so beautifully especially the seme. With the uke, he may look like a bit like a girl, but it's not a cross-dressing manga (I'm glad about that!). The only time he had to wear something long is during the wedding ceremony. This story is not gender-bias whom you're going to choose as a lifelong partner.


The story is about two young boys, both in their blooming teenage years where they have to sacrifice self-gratification for the sake of others. But in the end they found their way to each others hearts.

Honami Kairi (Uke)

Kairi is a poor kid that got engaged to a royal prince, unknowingly. His parents run away because of debts so he was left to his Aunt who works as a cleaning lady of the school dorm where he studies. But recently she is hospitalized and Kairi decided to stop schooling, instead accepted a job offer from an old man he helped along his way home. He was offered a job as a housekeeper. Kairi asked for advance payment for his aunt's surgery and he was given. On the day he had to start his job he was picked up without the knowledge that he is the future partner of a Prince from Ecuratan.

 Limnio "Shou" Ecuratol (Seme)

A royal prince and also the next king of the country, Ecuratan, he is required to marry someone he had never met before. His country lies in the Mediterranean ocean and was once protected by Japanese , thus where the friendship between two countries was born. It is  customary for the citizens to add Japanese names as their middle name. "Shou" has a very Japanese feature that's why it was added on Limnio's name. He is also called "Shou" often.

He went to Japan to meet his fiancé as decided by his grandfather. He is infuriated but cannot rebel since this is part of their culture. He thought at first that Kairi only wanted his money but he was wrong after he followed him to the hospital where his Aunt is resting. He bought flowers to his Aunt and he's been described by her as "a tall man with golden, shiny hair, just like a prince from fairy tales." 

His country Ecuratan is known as the best producer of wine in the world. He told Kairi about the sparkling vine tree that lies somewhere in it. According to folklore, the couple that vows their love under it would be happy forever. He believes in it and so he hope to find that person to love someday. 

He did not expect to fall in love with Kairi until he got kidnapped and he met him under that "legendary" vine tree where they made their everlasting love vow.

 He is often busy in school or when he's back to his country because he is the future King. He likes making love to Kairi.

Other Casts:

Kousuke

 

He is the uncle of Shou who is fond of Kairi. Perhaps he's one of the rarest characters you see smiling other than Kairi.  ^_^

*I like him, too! He's handsome and sweet, that's why, hehehe*

Shiori

The big brother of Shou but they have different mothers.  He may look aloof but he protects his brother and Kairi from the assassins.

Mifune

 

The person that picked up Kairi on his way to the royal's place. He is also his teacher as well as a secretary to the King. It looks like he is the "male lover" and true love of the current king of Ecuratan.

King of Ecuratan

 The father of Shou and Shiori. Before he got married he already had a lover, Mifune. But due to tradition, he had to marry the one his family chose for him. After his wife runaway, he secluded himself with Milfune and deprived Shou of attention. Despite of this, he chose him to be the next king. 

Grandpa King

This short, chubby, white-bearded old man is the reason why Kairi had to marry Shou. He was lost along the way and Kairi offered him help. In return he asked him if he wants to work as a housekeeper. The match-maker of the story, is no one else but the previous king of Ecuratan himself who is known to have huge liking with Japanese.

My Notes: Ooh it's so cold tonight, it's past 3 a.m. so the heaters are not on! I wish to take a warm bath...

This series is one of those that you wish it could've been longer. The art is gorgeous, no doubt about it. I can't help myself to add the other characters, so this page is loaded with more of them. I made the description short as much as I can. Happy reading!

Manga: Kirai ja nai kedo and Koi ja nai kedo

 This is written by Mei Sakuraga, one of my favorite mangakas.

The story of the couple was adapted from the manga "Warui Koto Shitai" widely known as "I Want to be Naughty" (from I Want to Bully You).

It involves the Vice President of the Student Body and his delinquent neighbor friend, from the same school. The prequel of this manga is Kirai ja nai kedo   also known as "I Don't Dislike You." The 6th book, Koi ja nai kedo  ,  a.k.a.  "Isn't It Love" is the 2nd book of the couple.

The boys were drawn handsomely that's why I enjoyed looking at them. *fufufufu*
Well personally, I like stories such as this where the uke is tough and in denial. The seme is also tough and into raping mode.

If this is a hardcore yaoi, I can say yes. The scenes were more on seduction and kissing than sex. Sex scenes are not long but they're enough to give you a "good dream".  Sensei was blunt to show genitals but it didn't get to that "hardcore-ness" I was expecting. Despite of this, I am satisfied with the story, the pairing, and the art. I can recommend this to newbies to Yaoi that are too curious what's "hardcore yaoi."

Yukimura Shuji (Uke)

He is a childhood friend of Shinonome Ryuichi and currently in his 2nd year of High school. When they were in Junior High school, he saved Shinonome from fighting the Westside Junior HS students. He was famous for being a delinquent and known for his "lightning fast fist and deceptively beautiful face." At this stage of his teenage life, he wears contact lenses.

He became a scary-tough kid because he's been harassed many times. He thought being tough and looking tough would do him good. (And get the perverts away from him!)

Upon entering higher high school, he re-invented himself. He started wearing eyeglasses and made friends with top students only. He wanted to get away from his delinquent days, so he also ditched his old friends. By doing so, he thought he could get rid of his past but because of Shinonome, that past revived. His virginity was taken by no other than this 1 year old younger friend. How did that happen? By Shinonome's blackmailing.

Shinonome as his next door neighbor had been taking photos of him during his delinquent years. Those photos were personally stored because he's got a crush on Yukimura.

The vice president won't admit his feelings for Shinonome because he is stubborn and afraid to submit to his will. But he gets jealous whenever he sees him with women. One time in class, he was asked by a teacher to read a poem. When he saw Shinonome's name, (also means "East Cloud"), he held himself reading the phrase correctly but mispronounced it instead. That was an embarrassing situation but all he thought was the scene of his kouhai with 2 women - on the bed. That infuriated him.

The time that they were patrolling to find the "stalker" who was seen lurking outside the school gate, Shinonome came, too. He kissed Yukimura and told him he's being shallow not to understand his importance to his life. While in their intimate moment, they were found out by Irie, a co-student council member. When he was alone with Irie, the latter asked him about Shinonome. He defensively told Irie that it's his way of taunting him. The boy asked him next for a kiss, where he found it disgusting. Irie was punched in the end. Then he blamed Shinonome for twisting his emotions!

During his free time, he usually study or stay late at the student council room. He likes competitive games and he learned self defense by himself.

Shinonome Ryuichi(Seme)

 Shinonome is one year younger than Yukimura and currently a 1st year student. When he was in Junior HS, his family moved into the neighborhood where the Yukimura family lives. They became acquainted so he knows the "bad" past of his senpai. He loves him so much that he entered the same school after he graduated from Junior HS. Badly, Yukimura is the Vice president of the student council so he's been avoided because his senpai wants to maintain his "re-invented self". Later on, Shinonome found a way to take his senpai's virginity by blackmailing him. He agreed on a 5-minute a day session in exchange for not exposing the Vice president's past whereabouts.

Manga: Dear My Mister

Written by Fumika Yamada, "Dear My Mister" is a fine story and is suitable for beginners Yaoi fans before reading hardcore Yaoi.  ^_^

He was in his 2nd year when he met the 1st year, Kasumi kun. They became roommates and he fell in-love with the kouhai's smile. One day he decided to confess to him but things did not turn out well because he felt nauseous. Whenever he tries to confess or have sex with Kasumi it do not turn out fair for both of them because it's either he will have stomach pain and nausea or they will be disturbed. He dreamed of being a Seme, but that did not turn out as he imagined.

He's quite famous in school because he is very beautiful. It's been known that he was almost raped by his former roommate. He hates his brother who is also the dorm manager and Nutritionist of the school because when he was a kid, the big brother used to bring boys in their house and made loud noises during sex. (Lol.)
