This literary work contains copious amounts of scenes which detail the (unsuccessful) acts of two males which they perform to preserve their genetic code (i.e. it's way more perverted than average). Seriously, they do it in every chapter. Whereas the average yaoi contains one or two scenes like this per volume, here the chapters are literally called "Turn 1", "Turn 2" etc. What I really liked, though, was the fact that it didn't turn into unnecessary and gratuitous "attempts to remain in the gene pool". The main concept is that the two most handsome and cool guys at university (who are also best friends) spend ... a nice night with a different girl every night, but when they realize that said girl doesn't meet their tastes, the two gentlemen turn to eachother. Ok, maybe this is too shocking for some (not for me :3), but this results in a lot of comical situations compared to the average work of this genre (and it has lots of good jokes besides this, too), considering that Motoki (the uke) feels like he plays the role of a girl, and can't get used to this concept, especially with his best friend, and this only gets weirder when Motoki becomes impotent, but let's not get into that. Oh, and of course, there's a lot of emotional drama near the end, this is attempting to be a romantic story after all.
8/10 - I think it's pretty enjoyable.

It's really a stunning manga in all aspects; the characters are sooo interesting, and there is a lot of character development in it. And both main characters are unique, and they are truly a fantastic couple (but prepare yourself, there is quite a big age gap between them). And oh my God, I had an eye-orgasm every time I looked at it, really, I had to inspect the drawings for minutes even though I read the pages very fast. I can say it's one of the most beautiful mangas I've ever read! (If not the most beautiful.) So yes, the art is the best part ... of it. The base story is quite simple, nothing interesting, it doesn't really have dramatic scenes (perhaps a few at the end), even problems like jealousy or arguments aren't explored a lot. The emphasis is on the developing relationship between the main characters, and that was shown outstandingly well. The fact that both of them have a bit of a sassy personality makes it even better.

I don't think I would recommend this. At first, I thought "wow, that's what I've been looking for!"... aaand... it broke all of my hopes immediately. It started as an interesting manga about a man who wants erotic things with a guy, who can't do anything just romantic stuff (his job was that he dated people for money (yes, I know what you think)). So I considered, what will happen? Will the pervy guy be romantic? He has paid a lot of money for this date, so it can be! It would be a perfect character development! He should realise that the romance is more ... inportant than the sex in a realitionship!
But some pages later, like I said, it ruins everything. And after that the whole manga becomes more and more illogical. I can't tell why they do what they do.
The manga has two other storylines, but they are not worth mentioning. One is about a man who got hard when he saw a young boy with a good butt, and the other is about a vampire.
It has beautiful art, good characters, and a lot of hot scenes. If it's enough for you, then okay, but for me, it's worse than average.

Story: 7
Everyone is cooking, there are two rival Nagashi shops, but the owners' sons like each other, so they have to keep it a secret. Well, okay, so it's Romeo and Juliet yaoi edition, written by Gordon Ramsay. It's 7 points from me.
For me, there are too many hot scenes (but I think it's only a problem for me). It has quite good humour, mostly at the beginning, it becomes more dramatic towards the end.

Characters: 9
Guys, if you like psychotic but kind and likeable characters, then you SHOULD read this, you would like Kazushi (the seme). I'm sure you will just love him. Also, ... it was a pleasant surprise that he watches what he says and does with Takahiro, though he is a crude person in the meantime.
Takahiro (or "Tacchaaaan!!") is also a good one, but sometimes I can't understand him.

Art: 7
Some parts aren't really detailed.

Enjoyment: 9
Kazushi is amazing, the whole manga is funny, but some parts are really dramatic.

Overall: 9
I'm bad at maths.

((((if you've read an omegaverse-yaoi story before and liked it, you don't need to read my review, read this since it's great ^^))))

For everyone else:
Until today, I've thought that the mere fact that I like yaoi is abnormal. But this... This made it clear that there are different levels of yaoi, and this, ladies and gentlemen, is the most brutal one.
Do NOT read this ever if you:
- Have faith in humanity
- Want to live a happy life in the future
- This is your first yaoi
You can read it if you:
- Have served in the military for 4 years
- Don't mind pedophilia/Mpreg (this doesn't have it, ... but the universe it's set in does)/gender-bender things
- Aren't suicidal

I think I'm exaggerating a bit, but I haven't even heard of omegaverse before, so this really shocked me at first. It has to be said that the omegaverse itself is so complex that I was reading the guide in the manga even 4 chapters in. At first, I didn't want to believe this exists. After I finished, I stared into the distance for half an hour to digest what I've just seen. But if we disregard the main concept, this is a perfect and fantastic yaoi, and I can only recommend it, the characters are adorable, I get an eye orgasm every time I look at it. However, this omegaverse thing is what makes it special, so decide whether you'll read it or not based on that.

I didn't have big expectations for this manga after some pages, but I have to admit, it has a quite interesting narrative considering that it's a yaoi. The main character, called Keiji (who is the most irritating tsundere who has ever existed), can see red threads of fate. He can also see his string, but he didn't meet the person he expected at the other end of the thread. So he is trying to avoid him, but fate always brings them together.

Story: 8
It has a reeeeally interesting scene around the middle of the manga, and that was also the moment when Keiji got ... closer to Obata. It was romantic and a bit exciting. After this part the whole manga is really good, but the previous parts aren't too amusing (but they're not boring).

Characters: 7
Well, if you like tsunderes, then you should read this, because Keiji has done a good job as one. Obata isn't interesting, but kind and calm, and he really loves Keiji. (Like Morinaga from Koisuru Boukun or Nowaki from Junjou Romantica, to give more popular examples, maybe it's easier to imagine Obata).

Art: 9
I can't say anything special, it's just quite good!

Enjoyment: 8
It's not too unique, but it has everything for a good yaoi: romance, humour, excitement, and a bit of supernatural stuff.

Overall: 8

Oh dear, I only read 10 pages and I could find out what the end of this meaningless story would be.
The main character is Kaede who is depressed and has a lack of self-confidence, as he finds himself hideous. However, he has to reject a girl every day. I don't know about you, but if this many people confessed their love to me, then I wouldn't be too disappointed. Furthermore, Kaede tells everyone that he is straight, but then he is distraught because only girls confess their love to him.

Story: 6
It's uninteresting and really predictable, even with this seemingly dumb protagonist. But okay, ... you can say it's a bit based on reality, as there are a lot of people who have problems with their self-confidence, but they generally don't have to turn down girls every day.

Characters: 4
Kaede is incredibly stupid. The seme is so unremarkable that I literally don't remember his name, even though I know that Kaede mentions it in every other sentence he says.

Art: 9
Why is the quality of the drawings so much better than the plot? How is this even possible?

Enjoyment: 3
This had entertainment value?

Overall: 5.5

It's a really interesting story (mostly because of the characters, not really of the storyline) even though it's quite unpopular. We have two fairly different characters. Shizuma had been living a peaceful life with his really likeable girlfriend, until they had broken up. On one morning some days later, Shizuna woke up next to a stranger, Minato, and it seemed they had... let's say "an interesting night together" in case children are reading this, but Shizuna didn't remember anything.
Shizuna is calm, intelligent and he lives for his work, so Minato, a person with loose morals wasn't very sympathetic to him. Minato knows this, however, ... he tries to seduce Shizuna because of a bet, and this is where the problems start.

Story: 9
Exciting, but not too complicated. It doesn't have many hot scenes (there were two during 5 chapters) (and they are just "hot scenes", nothing more), but at least it has some.

Characters: 10
I have never seen any yaoi with this much character development (or any, for that matter), so it was a pleasant surprise.

Art: 8
There are some colored pages, so we can imagine the characters better.

Enjoyment: 9
At the beginning, it's a liiiitle bit boring. But it becomes more and more entertaining.

Overall: 9

Nigatsu no Eden has an enthralling narrative about a zoophiliac artist boy, Haruna, who met the cat-like Shiki. Their joint life had begun when Haruna found Shiki on the street, with a lot of injuries, and a mystic tattoo on his arm and back. Haruna brought him to his home, where the wounded boy acted like a scared little kitten. That was the moment when Haruna realized what an enthralling and engrossing person Shiki is, and he decided he would protect him from the man who injured him at all costs.

story: 4
It does not have a story. You think it has, but you are ... wrong. It has 5+1 volumes, but they only talk about:
- how intriguing Shiki's tattoo is, and how Haruna wants to draw it, which isn't interesting,
- Haruna had a cat who ran away, which, again, isn't interesting,
- Shiki reminds Haruna of his lost cuuute cats, because Shiki is also cuuute so Haruna wants to make sexual intercourse with Shiki, which is weird.
There could be interesting things, like what happened with Shiki, or what Shiki's tattoo means, and who made it. And actually, we will know where lived Shiki before, so probably the guy who lived there with Shiki made the tattoo, but we don't know anything about that guy, not even his name, or why he knows Shiki.

characters: 7
Okay, I can't say anything wrong about Shiki, he is an engrossing character. We can't find out his past, at first he is wild and scared, but after a long while he becomes kind to Haruna. But Haruna is too common.

Art: 7
For me, it isn't very beautiful, but it's fine, as I have seen lots of worse mangas.

Enjoyment: 4
For me, it was boring and stupid. It brings up a lot of questions, but it doesn't answer any. And Haruna only wants to hold Shiki, because he reminds him of his cat, and he doesn't want to lose a cat again - it doesn't make any sense.

So overall: 5,5

After reading through most of the most popular yaoi manga series out there, it makes me sad that this one is so obscure.

Story: 7

The story is a copy of Junjou Romantica. I mean, one of the parties writes erotic fiction and the other is a teenager helping him with housework, for crying out loud. I know this would make anyone else give the story a low score, since it's knocking off the most popular series of its kind, but this changes up a few things which people hate about Junjou. Here, Kotaro, the uke who's 10 years younger than the seme (Ayumi), is the ... one who initiates the relationship, rather than the seme basically raping the uke in the beginning.
The plot isn't exactly complicated, the adolescent Kotaro gets help from Ayumi so he can start his adult life, while Kotaro helps Ayumi with housework and overall tries to cheer him up. Also, they fffff- sleep together. Meanwhile, there's Rape-san (sorry, I meant Kyujo) who tries to take Kotaro away from Ayumi, whether he likes it or not. I guess yaoi can't possibly exist without a rapist character.

Characters: 9

Usa- I mean Ayumi is incapable of living on his own, and an emo. Misa- I mean Kotaro is a shota. Rape-san wants to rape anyone who resists and is uninterested in anyone who doesn't. Yes, this deserves 9 points in my opinion. My standards are low when it comes to yaoi.

Art: 10

It doesn't burn out my eyes, which puts it above most yaoi manga I've seen. Therefore, 10.
Seriously though, the faces of characters are well detailed, which made me surprised. And... um... it doesn't burn out my eyes?

Enjoyment: 10000

Humourous, sometimes dramatic, exciting, and, well, yaoi.

Overall: 10

It's yaoi.
