MANGA: Revenge ～Yakimochi Yaitara Dame Desu ka?～
Revenge ～Yakimochi Yaitara Dame Desu ka?～- Matsumoto Yoh
Aggressive actor, Miura Rintarou (44 years old) becomes a star overnight thanks to his “Ore-sama” seme character in a BL-film adaptation. But the one who helped him make his break from a faceless movie actor is his younger-by-15-years manager, Sonoda Enji. The two of them are unable to live without each other… Even on their days off. Miura, a stunning seme on set, does a complete 180 in private! As Sonoda pushes persistently, Miura turns to putty in his hands…!! “You like it when I lick you and kiss you, don’t you?” His mind and body melt as the younger manager engages him in massage play. Sadist Manager x Ojisan Actor in an unexpected love they can’t show the fans!
Revenge ~ Is It Wrong To Get Jealous? ~ is a sizzling age gap romance between a middle-aged actor and his younger manager.
Miura, long typecast in yakuza roles, suddenly lands a breakout part as a seme in BL. With no experience with men, his manager Sonoda suggests they practice. After an intense session, Miura is stunned when Sonoda confesses his feelings.
A reckless change in career led Sonoda to managing talents. Unknown to many, Sonoda has a kink for yakuza type characters so working for the production was paradise for him. His first encounter with Miura left him completely smittened but kept his feelings tightly bottled up until that fateful confession. Now private and professional lives collide and Sonoda anda Miura navigate on-script sex scenes and off-script jealousies as more BL roles are offered.
Oooh, living for the gap moe. Miura, brash, blunt, and older is putty in Sonoda’s uber capable hands. Both are fiercely commited to their jobs, willing to do anything for the sake of Miura’s acting, even many practice sessions that leave the supposedly straight Miura firmly in the uke territory. On camera he’s the perfect seme, but in the bedroom his switch to uke is pure delight.
Ever the professional, Sonoda must endure watching his boyfriend in sex scenes, keeping his jealousy tightly reined in. I loved Sonoda as the seme, he’s completely devoted to Miura, securing roles and completely spoiling his tsundere boyfriend who’s oblivious to his struggle everytime the actor shoots an intimate scene
Theirs is a healthy relationship between mature men, a complete joy to read, full of deep care, open communication, and a dynamic that brings the best out of each other. Overall, a consummately professional tale of reel aura and real feels.

MANGA: Hitori de Yoru wa Koe Rarenai
Hitori de Yoru wa Koe Rarenai – Matsumoto Yoh
1950s Japan. Ex-soldier, Seishirou, is working as a waiter in a cabaret near an American military base, passing his days in a stagnant cycle. One day, he is approached by Jim, an American soldier who speaks fluent Japanese. Seishirou is moved by Jim’s soft smile, and Jim soon confesses his interest in him. Seishirou sees this as a chance to change his life.
I Can’t Stand Another Night Alone is a historical enemies to lovers romance set in post-war Japan.
Seishirou, a.k.a. Sei, is an ex-soldier working as a cabaret waiter. Because of his PTSD, he has trouble sleeping alone at night and has to resort to staying over his friends’ places. An American soldier, Jim, befriended him, and soon they started hanging out.
Jim loves Japanese culture and is fluent in the language. It’s quickly apparent that he has more than friendly interest towards Sei. Seeing it as a chance for a better life, Sei went along for the ride and started seducing the American.
So it wasn’t much of a romance at the start, with Sei and his ulterior motives. On the other hand, Jim was obviously quite smitten and even invited Sei to live in his house, especially learning about Sei’s insomnia.
The two looked good together AND were good together, but it was hard to root for them. It wasn’t until the drama at the later part that the feels kicked in. It was almost too late as it was heading towards tragedy.
But do not let this discourage you because it does not end in tears. It was a rather bittersweet ending but still a happy one, so it’s a win.
I liked this manga but don’t feel that passionate about it. Something about the storytelling needed to be tweaked slightly though I can’t put my finger where exactly. It’s emotional and poignant enough, but lacks that oomph to make it great.
