The difference between male wish fulfillment vs female wish fulfillment in romance anime

There’s kind of a different gaze that can be targeted to in romance anime. 

In male wish fulfillment anime romances, there’s usually a much heavier emphasis on the male love interest’s pov than the female’s. Also, women tend to be much more.. objectified and there’s an unnecessary amount of fan service. An example of this is Rent a Girlfriend and Don’t Toy With Me Miss Nagatoro. It’s more about the male lead being hit on by.. really horny women than actual romance.

However, in female wish fulfillment anime, it tends to be more told from the female’s perspective. The way the male love interest tends to be written is to make him emotional and aware and.. kind, rather than objectifying him or even making them horny, because women.. we don’t really want to be lusted after like that, typically. We’re already objectified enough. My favorite example is Kimi Ni Todoke: From Me To You. Kazehaya admits he’s a ‘pervert’ but in a respectful way. The writer doesn’t make him fully pure or naive or anything like that. He’s still a teen boy. But in this series, the male character is written to be sweet, emotional, and aware but he’s not stripped away from his inherent masculinity (nontoxic masculinity!). Not just.. a guy, if that makes any sense. Meanwhile, in male wish fulfillment anime, the women are just women, rather than characters. Again, I hope this makes sense!

Now, I’m not saying all romance anime that’s written from the female’s perspective is the best! I think MY Love Story!! is a good example of this! The main character is a male and he’s a genuine, total sweetheart while still having a sense of masculinity! And the female character isn’t objectified! And I would even say even say that this show could be considered a male wish fulfillment romance, based on how it’s written.

And then there’s shows for both, like Kaguya Sama: Love is War. In this show, the two love interests have complete equal power in focus, making them feel completely balanced and real. Neither are objectified and both get treated like humans. Same with The Apothecary Diaries, if not more so!

Anyways, sorry for this ramble. I just really like (well written) romance anime. And I will leave off with a list of romance anime recommendations!

•Kimi Ni Todoke: From Me To You (adorable, fluffy, amazing character development, doesn’t beat around the bush the entire fucking series. Half of the manga is pining and the other half is the complexities of being in your first ever relationship as you try to navigate it all)

•Snow White With The Red Hair (amazing female lead with cool world building and interesting dynamics)

•MY Love Story!! (SO CUTE! Amazing show about not judging appearances)

•My Happy Marriage (Really wholesome Cinderella type story)

•Kaguya Sama: Love Is War (hilarious. I actually recommend the dub. Genuinely really sweet)

•Sasaki To Miyano (so sweet it’ll give you cavities)

•Tomo Chan Is A Girl (there is sadly quite a bit of fanservice in this. I’ve seen way worse, but ya. If you’re wanting something to watch with your parents, this may not be it. Mostly just close ups on boobs)

•Monthly Girls Nozaki (romcom that leans really heavy on the comedy more than the romance, but I love it too much to not recommend. Watch it in the dub, you won’t regret it)

•Fruits Basket (Really sweet)

•Toilet Bound Hanako (THE MANGA! READ THE MANGA! DON’T LET THE TITLE WEIRD YOU OUT, I SWEAR IT IS INCREDIBLE! READ!)

•Komi Can’t Communicate (I would, however, like to apologize for Yamai ahead of time. The entire fandom hates her, don’t worry. There’s also quite a bit of fan service in this one 😔)

•Toradora (haven’t seen it in a while, but it’s a classic lol)

•Horimiya (Another romance anime that doesn’t beat around the bush!)

•The Ice Guy And His Cool Female Colleague (SO. CUTE. AGHHHH. Despite it being ice themed, it certainly makes me feel warm and fuzzy)

•Love, Chuunibyou, and Other Delusions (so silly, amazing story about maturity while also keeping your inner child alive)

•I Want To Eat Your Pancreas (be sure to bring tissues! You will cry!)

•Kamisama Kiss (I really like the characters and world building in this one. Sadly, we’ll probably never get another season 😔)

•Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop (SUCH A CUTE MOVIE! Amazing feel good romance that just makes you happy)

•My Little Monster (not my usual first recommendation, but it’s an overall fun watch… still so desperately want another season. False hope lol)

•Ouran High School Host Club (an absolute classic romcom. Another situation where I actually recommend the dub)

•Apothecary Diaries (AGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! …full stop. I love this show.)

•Princess Tutu (I LOVE THIS STORYBOOK SETTING! And Ahiru is so silly. She’s just a duck, she can’t handle all these responsibilities!)

Only Uke Are Ticklish?!

Sasaki and Miyano relax in the former's dorm room, cuddling and reading a manga together... until the manga gives Sasaki a devious idea.

Though I'd write for a series I actually like for once! It's not sexy, but I hope it's cute. Might also write something for Hirano and Kagiura at some point, I already know their top spots (Hirano's thighs being ticklish is canon if it's not a mistranslation).

Characters: switches Sasaki & Miyano (hey, that's the title of the series!"

Words: 1,789

“Hey Miya~”

“Mh?” asked the brunette, feeling Sasaki’s chest vibrate behind him but too engrossed with the manga he was holding up so the both of them could read it to do anything but hum interrogatively.

“Will you read it to me?”

He was lying on his bed with his back resting against the wall, his arms draped around Miyano’s shoulders. The younger boy was lying against him, sprawled between Sasaki’s legs with his nape resting on his boyfriend’s chest.

Sasaki had never felt so quietly content. The small frame in his arms on a lazy Sunday afternoon, the comfortable silence, partaking in the interest that had brought them together. If he wanted to, he could crane his neck a little and kiss the soft black hair. But why would he move at all, when that moment of stillness was perfect?

The only danger was drifting off, and Sasaki soon stopped resisting the sweet pull as he couldn’t imagine a better sleeping arrangement. But as he closed his eyes, he found himself wanting to hear Miyano’s voice, the loss of one sense requiring compensation from another.

“I’m, uh, not a great actor,” objected the brunette, though his dramatic skills were the least of his worries. That was BL they were reading! How was he supposed to read it out loud with a straight face?!

“Who knows more about BL than you? I just want to hear your voooice~”

“…”

“…”

“…Just hold on a little longer. We’re almost out of the woods. ‘I can feel his embrace tighten around my chest. I know every time the hooves hit the ground, his wound pulsates with unbearable pain. I can feel it through him.’ I’ll keep you safe.”

Sasaki hummed contentedly. As shy as Miyano could be at times, he never let that stifle his passion, and his enthusiasm was infectious. While his boyfriend – his boyfriend! – grew more and more confident with the dramatic reading, Sasaki let the corny words lull him to sleep, until…

“S-Stop it!”

The upperclassman resurfaced from the border of unconsciousness. That awkward line read felt exceptionally genuine.

“Please? Fine, just stop it! Oh, is someone ticklish?”

Miyano paused. Was he supposed to read speech balloons that were just laughter? “Sasaki?” he whispered tentatively. Had he dozed off?

And then he felt Sasaki’s fingers flutter against his sides. “Ah!” squeaked Miyano. “S-Sasaki! Dohon’t!”

“Mh, I think I will, Miya~” teased Sasaki, trapping the brunette against his body and happily carrying on with the tickling.

“Ah! S-Sasahaki stahap!” protested Miyano, squirming and trying to propel himself forward and out of his boyfriend’s reach, but the much stronger upperclassman easily pulled him back into his grasp without even needing to stop the tickling, using his legs to pin down the chucklebug’s.

The brunette wasn’t going anywhere. Which allowed Sasaki to slip his hands under his top to get at the bare skin underneath.

“Ha! C-Cohome ohon, d-dohon’t!”

Miyano grabbed at the tormenting hands, but there was nothing he could do to stop them, Sasaki was strong enough to easily slip through his grasp and latch onto his defenseless sides again.

The brunette was flabbergasted. Sasaki rarely made a show of overpowering him, except to pick him up when he was “too cute to walk.” But the physical disparity was being made painfully obvious, and as Miyano fought against the giggling fit that threatened to overtake him, a single thought burned in his mind.

He’s tickling me! Does that… make me the uke?!

Sasaki really didn’t know where that urge to see Miyano in hysterics had come from, but he was going to indulge it. The brunette was too serious for his own good! If anything, the upperclassman was a little disappointed that the reaction he was getting wasn’t more intense. So…

“Brace yourself, Miya~” he cooed as his hands began to roam everywhere under Miyano’s forest green top, hitting his ribs, even his armpits; but the only other spot that produced those adorable squeaking giggles was his belly, prompting Sasaki to spider the fingers of one hand over the soft skin while the other went on squeezing the brunette’s side. Don’t fix it if it’s not broken.

The happy giggles that spilled out of Miyano, a response he couldn’t avoid, only cemented his fate, as Sasaki had not got his fix of adorableness yet – the more he got, the more he wanted. So he got even bolder and lifted himself and Miyano to a sitting position before letting his weight drop on his partner, who’d managed to turn around, trapping him between the mattress and his own body.

Sasaki found himself staring at the brunette’s flushed face, and felt a rush of his own. He’s so cute.

Miyano could only look up, partially straddled by his boyfriend, watching enraptured as gravity pulled the dyed locks down toward him, as if they were channeling his gaze. Did he just… kabedon me? On a bed? Does that mean…

Sasaki’s arms at either side of him were impassable, but not forceful. He couldn’t look away from the upperclassman’s eyes, his lips, his neck, the undone button of his shirt…

Was it about to happen? It felt so sudden! But right… but scary? Exciting…

“S-Sasaki…” he stammered. “I…” He felt the long fingers peel up his shirt, exposing his waistband…

And then Sasaki gripped Miyano’s wrists right before blowing a massive raspberry on his stomach.

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKK!!!” screeched the brunette, from shock as much as from ticklishness.

“That’s a cute sound, Miya,” teased Sasaki before blowing a second raspberry right in his bellybutton.

“EEEEeeeeEEEE!!! StaahaHAP!! IHIHIt’s soho embaharASSIHIHIhihng!!!”

“You’re even cuter when you laugh,” said Sasaki before going in for thirds, and fourths, and Miyano realized that he wasn’t going anywhere, not until his boyfriend took pity on him.

“EEEEhehehehehehahahAHAHAHAHahahahaha!!”

But he could feel it again. That sting. That inner provocation.

“HAHAHehehe!! IIIHIHI’mm!!! NohohoHOHOHOTTT!!”

The sweet-tasting lips vibrated into the soft skin of his belly again, unleashing another ticklish shock on his system, but Sasaki had gotten too complacent, having released one of Miyano’s arms to move his top out of the way…

“…thehehe UHUHUHUKEEEEEEEEEEE!!!” screamed the brunette right before jabbing his fingers into Sasaki’s wide-open armpit and wiggling them around for dear life.

Sasaki’s raspberry fizzled into a snort as he reflexively rolled away from the sensation, instantly freeing Miyano.

The two exchanged a surprised glance, the intensity of the upperclassman’s reaction taking both aback; and for once, the brunette’s smaller size gave him the edge as, propelled by sheer survival instinct and embarrassment, he threw himself at his boyfriend, savagely attacking the weak spot he’d found.

“M-Miya whahahahIHIHIHITTT!!”

Surprised by the turning tables, and not hating the weird way in which Miyano’s passionate nature had surfaced, Sasaki made the tactical mistake of lowering his arms, only succeeding at trapping them in his sensitive underarms, instead of pushing the shortcake off.

And Miyano capitalized, seizing Sasaki’s wrists and pushing as hard as he could to lift them over the upperclassman’s head. As luck would have it, the latter bucked just in time to send him tumbling forward, so Miyano found himself sitting on Sasaki’s forearms, and it was finally his turn to look down at his trapped boyfriend.

“Miya…” stuttered Sasaki, an uncertain request that he couldn’t articulate.

“ATTACK!” yelled the brunette before spidering his fingers in both wide-open armpits. He was never going to wrestle Sasaki into submission like that again, he had to make it count!

“MiyahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

Sasaki wasn’t one to hold back his reactions, but as soon as the boisterous laughter spilled out of him, louder and jollier than Miyano’s, he knew he wouldn’t be able to stop it.

“OHOHO WOHOHOHW!!! THAHAHAHAT REAHAHAHALLY TIHIHICKLEEHEEHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!”

It was the brunette’s turn to gloat. “You’re more ticklish than I am, senpai,” he said as he picked up the pace, eliciting higher-pitched squawks from his boyfriend.

Sasaki wiggled like a worm on a hook, kicked at empty hair, his red-clad heels slamming on the mattress, but he just couldn’t escape! He wanted to tease the brunette, or just tell him how cute he looked all earnest like that, but that was if he’d been able to float out of his body, because the sensation was a lot harder to handle than he thought!

“OHOHOKAAHAHAHAHY!!! THAHAHAHT’S EHEHEHENOOOHOOOHUHHUGHH!!”

“I don’t think so,” retorted Miyano as he dipped into a pool of deviousness he didn’t think he had, before going for the kill: his fingers crawled up Sasaki’s short sleeves to get at the bare flesh underneath, the final piece of his payoff.

Sasaki snorted as the tickling got even worse, wiggling side to side pointlessly and bucking as the short fingernails wreaked havoc on his vulnerable underarms.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! MIIIYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHA!!!”

“You’re so cute when you laugh, senpai,” teased the brunette without slowing down the assault, even experimenting with digging in with his thumbs and massaging the hollows.

That also worked.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! OHOHOKAHAHAHT OHOHOKAAHAHHAYYY!!!”

Sasaki wasn’t used to being physically overpowered by Miyano, and in any other circumstances, he would have been into it; but he really just needed the tickling to stop.

“I think I’m almost done,” claimed the brunette as he went on alternating the two methods for a few more seconds, before finally, finally slowing to a stop. But his fingertips didn’t leave their position as Sasaki tried to steady his breathing.

“If I let you go, you’re not going to tickle me again, are you?”

The threat was obvious, and even though Sasaki’s mouth was already warped into a smile, the brunette recognized his impish grin in his tone. “Nohot today.”

Miyano pouted and curled his fingers, relishing in the alarm that registered on Sasaki’s features, but after a moment, he shifted to the side and allowed Sasaki to sit up.

“I don’t want you to hurt your arms or shoulders,” he mumbled.

“Much appreciated,” chuckled Sasaki, waving his elbows a bit as he tried to rub away the phantom tickles. “Did I take it too far?”

Miyano blushed. “No. You just… startled me, is all.”

“Yeah. Sorry,” said Sasaki. “I didn’t hate it, but it tickled a lot.”

He didn’t hate it? “I… see.”

“Wanna get back to the manga?”

“No funny business?”

“No funny business,” promised Sasaki. “Unless you ask.”

“Sa-!”

“Kidding, kidding. Come on.”

He resumed his original position, and Miyano glared at him for a moment, trying to divine his intent, before allowing himself to relax into his arms again.

“I’m not readying to you, though.”

“Oh, why?”

“You know what you did.”

Sasaki chuckled, and the brunette’s nervousness melted away as he felt the sound rumble into his boyfriend’s chest behind him.

“I do,” hummed Sasaki before draping his arms around Miyano once more and closing his eyes.

Miyano's Open Secret (Sasaki and Miyano)

Summary: Sasaki is still learning everything he can about Miyano. On this particular day, he learns something utterly adorable that his boyfriend is a little shy about admitting.

A/N: Sasaki and Miyano is one of my go-to comfort animes. I've seen it a few times and it just makes me squeal with delight every rewatch. They are absolutely adorable and I love them very much! I decided it was high time I dedicated a full fic to the two of them. Enjoy! <3

~~~

Tashiro and Kuresawa were Miyano’s friends, nothing more. Sasaki knew that. And yet, when he appeared in the doorway of their classroom to pick up his boyfriend for their walk home, he felt a strong pang of jealousy when he saw them all together.

Kuresawa had Miyano’s wrists pinned to his desk while Tashiro reached over from behind and tickled his ribs, and Miyano’s face was lit up in a helpless smile, giggles spewing out of him in a cascade as he wiggled and squirmed. Sasaki didn’t know the context of what was going on, but he knew immediately that he’d be hearing that laugh again. Soon.

As soon as Kuresawa saw him, he let go of Miyano, who gratefully pulled his arms in to protect himself as he wrenched away from Tashiro’s fingers, still snickering. A few moments later he saw the redhead in the doorway and lit up anew.

“Sasaki!” He grabbed his bag and waved to the others as he hurried to the door. “Bye, guys! See you tomorrow!”

His boyfriend was seemingly unfazed by the tickle attack, as well as the knowledge that Sasaki had just witnessed it. Interesting.

“Got everything you need, Miya?” Sasaki asked as they made their way to the entry to swap their indoor shoes for outdoor ones.

“Yep,” Miyano replied, shifting his bag to his right shoulder as usual so they could take up their positions walking together.

Sasaki quickly took his hand, smiling at the soft blush on his partner’s face. Miyano wasn’t averse to displaying their relationship, but it still made him shy from time to time. “Hey, do you mind if we go somewhere before catching the train?”

Miyano blinked up at him. “Hm? Sure. Where do you want to go?”

“You know that park that’s a few blocks away?”

“Yeah.”

Sasaki grinned and hurried forward, tugging him along. “Let’s go.”

A while later, they were lying beside each other on the ground, using their jackets as buffers between them and the blades of grass. It was getting cooler outside, but not so much that they’d freeze without the extra layer. For a bit they chatted as usual, catching up on their days and musing about the plotlines of BL they were reading together.

Then Sasaki couldn’t hold back anymore. “So…when I came to pick you up…” Miyano turned to look at him in the brief pause that followed. “What were you guys doing?”

“Oh,” Miyano murmured, another blush coating his cheeks. “They were, erm…well, it’s nothing, really. Just playing around.”

Sasaki frowned. “They weren’t being jerks, were they?”

“No! No, of course not! It’s just…they were, uh…” Miyano whined and lifted an arm to his eyes, covering up as he muttered, “They were trying to get me to call you my boyfriend.”

There was a pause. “Do you…not normally?”

Miyano whined again. “I do! Sometimes…when someone really pushes. But I usually just say we’re dating, or we’re going out. Or that you’re my partner.”

“…but not your boyfriend.”

The smaller boy uncovered his face, turned to Sasaki, and gripped his hand. “It’s not because I don’t want to call you that. I do! It’s just…hard to say, sometimes. Embarrassing. No, that’s not quite right – maybe just, I’m still getting used to it? Or it feels cheesy? That’s not it either, what am I saying—”

Sasaki gave him a soft smile, reaching up to play with his hair and silence him. “It’s all right. It took you a while to give me an answer. I think it’ll take a while for you to call me your boyfriend, too.”

Miyano looked pained. “I’m sorry about that, it’s really not because I’m ashamed or anything—”

“Shh. It’s okay.” The redhead brushed his thumb along Miyano’s lips, effectively quieting him on the matter. “But, I couldn’t help but notice you didn’t seem all that bothered by it.”

The brunette blinked and caught his breath for a moment before answering. “By what?”

“You know…” Sasaki smirked, lifting his free hand to wiggle his fingers teasingly.

Instantly Miyano squeaked and wrenched his hand from Sasaki’s, covering up his face with a whine. “Don’t wiggle your fingers like that!”

Sasaki laughed. “Why? Does it fluster you?”

“Yes!”

“Mmm~” The redhead sat up and swung one leg over his boyfriend to trap him underneath, grinning when Miyano dared a peek and his eyes went wide. “I’m sorry, but that was adorable.”

“W-W-What was? S-Sasaki?”

“Well, walking in on that cute scene, for one. But also the way you panicked just now.” Sasaki chuckled, taking his boyfriend’s hand and kissing his knuckles tenderly. “You didn’t seem fazed when you saw me watching.”

“T-That was…different,” Miyano mumbled, averting his gaze, that pink flush returning to his cheeks.

“How?”

For a moment the smaller boy didn’t answer. Then he darted his big brown eyes up to his partner. “A-Are you…going to…?”

Sasaki’s brows rose in surprise, then settled into a knowing arch. “Oho~ Do you want me to? Do you like it?”

Miyano covered his face again, letting out a more desperate sounding whimper. “I don’t…hate it…”

“That’s just a roundabout way of saying you love it.” Then, without warning, the redhead curled his fingers into his boyfriend’s ribs, enjoying the startled squeal that came out of him in response. “But if you insist, how can I say no to that cute face?”

“Ehehehehehehehe! Ahahahahaha, Sahahahahahasaki!”

Sasaki was in love all over again. That bright smile, that pink blush, that squirming body, those adorable giggles. Miyano had captured his heart once already, but now he locked it up and tossed away the key. Sasaki couldn’t help but blush a little himself. He’s so cute!

“Aww, what’s the matter, Miya? Does it tickle?”

“Ahahahahahahaha! Y-Yehehehehehehes!”

“Good!” The older boy deviated to his underarms, determined to force his hands down so he could see his face properly. “Tickle, tickle, tickle!”

Exactly as he’d hoped, Miyano shot his arms to his sides protectively, torn between covering his mouth in embarrassment and alleviating some of the tickling by pushing at Sasaki’s arms. “Nohohoho, don’t tehehehehehehease me!”

“Aww, but I want to!”

“Ehehehehehehehehe! S-Sasaki, plehehehehehehease!”

The redhead beamed. “I’m not hearing a ‘stop’ anywhere in there, Miya~”

Frantic, Miyano covered his face again, trying to roll onto his side to escape at least a little bit.

“Oh, you’re not going anywhere now,” Sasaki growled playfully, grabbing his shoulder and using his strength advantage to roll his boyfriend onto his back again, grabbing his hips. “Come on, I wanna see that cute smile!”

Miyano shrieked, digging his heels into the grass as he squirmed, giggles rising in pitch the longer the teasing went on. “Nohohohohohohoho!”

“Move your hands, Miya~”

“I cahahahahahahan’t!”

“Move them or I’ll have to pin your arms down.”

To his credit, Miyano tried. He first lifted his arms up, then crossed them over his face as he twisted back and forth due to the tickling along his hips. Then he tried dragging them down further, only to use one hand to cover his mouth and the other to grab onto Sasaki’s wrist, gripping weakly through his snickering.

“Valiant effort, I must say,” Sasaki teased, adopting a brief British accent for effect. “But it’s still your funeral.” He debated pinning his arms above his head, but decided he wanted both of his own hands free to tickle and instead pulled Miyano’s wrists out to his sides in an A formation, kneeling on them gently so they wouldn’t get hurt, but still keep him from covering up or fighting him off.

The elimination of his defenses made Miyano’s giggles morph into soft laughter, his squirming intensifying to try and make up for it. “Ahahahahahahaha! Plehehehehehehehease!”

“What’s so funny, hmm? I haven’t even done my worst yet,” Sasaki teased, deciding to be a little bold and sliding one hand down to grasp his boyfriend’s inner thigh.

Miyano squealed and bucked his hips, wide eyes meeting the redhead’s through his ticklish smile. “Nohohohoho, dohohohohohon’t! N-Nohohohohot yehehehehehet!”

Understanding perfectly, Sasaki gave him a reassuring smile and tried squeezing his knees instead. “How about here?”

At this point his boyfriend was giggling so hard he was alternating between squeaking and wheezing – a combination that would have brought Sasaki to his knees had he not already been there. He’s so cute!!

“You’re ticklish all over, Miya!” he giggled along with his partner, darting a quick glance over his shoulder. “I’d try your feet, but I don’t wanna let you go yet.”

Miyano caught his breath while he could when Sasaki paused his ministrations a second later, sitting back and taking in his adorable partner and his flushed face and megawatt smile.

“You good?” he asked, and the smaller boy nodded, obviously growing tired but still not protesting. “I have to admit, I’m surprised you’re not fighting back or telling me to stop. You must really like this, huh?”

Miyano looked away in embarrassment. “I-I…well, I, um…” He bit his lip, then nodded. “I can’t help it. It’s fun. For a while, at least.”

“Hey, I never said it was a bad thing,” Sasaki replied, poking his stomach with a single finger, making him jolt and light up all over again. “I think it’s adorable. I’d be happy to tickle you anytime. Just let me know.”

“Noooo,” Miyano whined, giggling again even though he wasn’t receiving any stimulation. “I can’t! It’s embarrassing!”

Sasaki grinned. “Uh-oh. You’ve just given me motivation, Miya.”

“W-What?”

The redhead skittered his fingers along his partner’s belly through his uniform. “Now your only way out of this is to promise me you’ll tell me when you want me to tickle you.”

Miyano shook his head, lips wobbly as he fought off a fresh wave of snickers. “I cahahahahan’t!”

“You’re gonna have to.” Sasaki chuckled. “I think your tummy is too ticklish for you to resist me, Mi-ya-no~”

Choking on a snort, the smaller boy broke down into more giggles, squirming and tugging at his trapped wrists helplessly. Sasaki beamed, gently skittering and scribbling all over his torso, from his belly to his ribs and up to his underarms again – what he could reach of them, anyway. Then he realized he’d forgotten something, and he dragged his tickling fingers back down to his boyfriend’s sides.

“Oops, missed a spot—”

“GAHAHAHA!!” Miyano shrieked, bucking his hips again and tossing his head back with a bark of laughter that was clearly uncontrolled, if the way he immediately gasped and looked back at Sasaki with desperate eyes was any indication. “W-Wait, wait, nonononono…”

Sasaki couldn’t help it. He positively beamed, eyes lighting up like New Year’s fireworks. He squeezed his sides again, and again got a scream of laughter that was louder than anything he’d produced so far. “Ohoho~”

“No!” Miyano cried, struggling for real now, his face alight with elated panic. “Nonono, not there, please, I’m really TIHIHIHIHIHIHICKLISH THEHEHEHEHEHERE!! NOHOHOHOHOHO!!”

“Ooh, this is a really good spot!” Sasaki snickered, keeping up his gentle assault. “Tickle, tickle, tickle! Look how much you’re squirming now!”

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA PLEHEHEHEHEHEHEASE!! SASAKIEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!”

“I found the jackpot~” Sasaki sang, daring to slip his hands under Miyano’s shirt to scribble at his bare skin, enjoying the shuddering jolt that passed through his partner along with another shriek of laughter. “Tickle, tickle, tickle~”

Miyano tossed his head back and laughed harder than he had all day, bucking his hips and trying to free his arms to no avail, his face bright pink from fluster and hysteria. “NOHOHOHOHO!!”

“What’re you gonna do? Hmm? What’re you gonna do about it, Miyaaaa?” Sasaki realized he was probably being a little mean at this point, but he couldn’t help it! Besides, it wasn’t like his boyfriend was telling him to—

“STAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAP!!” Miyano begged, his blush spreading to his neck the harder he laughed, the more Sasaki pinched and kneaded and scritched into his sides. “PLEHEHEHEHEASE STOP, PLEASE!! SAHAHAHAHAHASAKI!!”

Deciding he really should stop since it was the first and only time Miyano had asked all afternoon, Sasaki let up on his attack and released his partner’s wrists, gently rubbing his back when he rolled onto his side and curled up protectively, giggling out leftovers into the grass.

“Heh, sorry,” Sasaki murmured once he’d calmed somewhat. “But I’m really impressed you lasted so long!”

Miyano whined, glancing up at him over his shoulder with an embarrassed but happy smile. “T-Thanks for stopping.”

“Of course.” The redhead leaned down to kiss him, brushing his hair from his flushed face. Then he realized: “Wait – I was supposed to make you promise you’d tell me when you wanted this! You tricked me, you little—”

Miyano burst into giggles again, and Sasaki decided he couldn’t really be upset about this turn of events.

“S-Sasaki?”

“Yeah?”

Big brown eyes blinked up at him, and the redhead felt his heart melt. “Are you ticklish, too?”

Well, crap.

Sasaki let out a nervous laugh. “Uh, well…yeah, I guess I shouldn’t lie. But uh…I don’t think I have the stamina you do.”

Miyano bit his lip. “Would you…let me try it sometime?”

“Uh…s-sure.” Another nervous chuckle. “But eh, not right now, okay?”

It was rare for the smaller boy to initiate affection, shy as he was about all of it. But now he reached up and grabbed Sasaki’s tie, pulling him on top of him and tilting his chin up so they could kiss again.

“I’m glad you’re my boyfriend,” he murmured, and Sasaki decided right then and there that he’d do just about anything Miyano wanted, tickling included.

[dandelions-and-grass]

I usually don’t post things here on my blog but I really need the sasamiya fandom to laugh at my situation for how ironic it is.

Story under cut (it got long)

So I have a friend who is a year above me and about to graduate and I’d say we’re pretty close given the fact that we usually hang out one on one and have our daily commute together.

We became friends because I thought they seemed really cool looking at them from a distance but we had never spoke before and I wouldn’t approach them until I noticed something. Jingling from their bag was a keychain from an MXTX novel. Finding that common ground was a life saver and we started talking a lot about danmei and anime and especially the BL I was currently reading. Does this story sound familiar yet?

I would talk a lot about how much I like sasamiya and how much I kinned Miyano to the point they started to pick up the manga too. They liked it so much they would tell me how relatable Sasaki is and I would ramble about the all the little fun facts about the series.

A few days ago, I got called over by my friend telling me they had to tell me something important. We hung out as normal until about the time I had to leave where they spilled the beans. They had feelings for me and wanted to say it before they had to graduate in six months. Obviously it was a lot for me to process so I said the first thing that was on my mind, “oh my god this reminds me of sasamiya.” Moving past that lapse in judgement, they told me I didn’t have to answer just yet and I asked them to wait because I couldn’t bring myself to to reject them with no thought out into it.

So now, I can’t read my BL manga comfortably without thinking about my predicament, so to speak. I now have an improved trust in those Reddit story time posts because sometimes life really is stranger than fiction. I swear I wouldn’t have believed it either if it hadn’t happened to me which is why it’s eating me alive. I swear this has to be the plot of a poorly thought out light novel. I’m not looking for advice right now but I hope my fellow sasamiya fans get a kick out this!

I’m rewatching Sasaki and Miyano Graduation again and I’ve also read the entire manga but the scene where Miyano is telling his mom about Sasaki for the first time gets me every single time. Like I’m so happy that Harusono chose to make his mom accept him right off the bat and not be homophobic about it. Like Sasaki and Miyano does such a good job of showing how supportive their friends are while also still addressing that not everyone will be cool about it like Sasaki’s older sister’s initial reaction to finding out or Ogasawara’s struggles with BL as a genre. (Fortunately both characters also come around and are very supportive but that just adds to how wholesome and wonderful this story is) Lol the point being that I love this story it makes me so happy to see such a healthy and wholesome BL that is also getting the recognition it deserves.

Okay. Okay tashiro gonzaburou post for real. Under a cut bc it got much longer than i expected. ^_^

Tashiro Gonzaburou is frankly someone we don’t know that much about, really. He’s an average student, if a little lazy. He likes having his hair bleached but it’s not like he’s repeatedly bleaching it because the captain of his club told him it’s not allowed. He helps out around a bathhouse full of older folks who treat him like a grandson, giving him candy and recipes and elderly wisdom, which he takes in stride. He often wears a bright green jacket with a even brighter orange messenger bag. He doesn’t seem to like his bangs in his face, rather wearing a ponytail or a headband or beanie. He’s cheerful and a little scatterbrained, but always willing to help his friends. He wants a girlfriend, one day. He’s got crazy leg hair. He notices whatever sasaki and miyano have going on, way before there’s actually anything going on. He was a little worried about whatever they have going on because sasaki comes across as a little scary to anyone who’s not miyano. He’s in the ping pong club. He was chosen to be the next captain of the ping pong club because he’s the type who can get along with everyone. He is oddly susceptible to thinking boys are girls. He has very dexterous fingers, and is capable of spinning two pens around his fingers at the same time. He’s repeatedly said how he thinks what’s on the inside is more important than the outside of a person. He skips club practice, often enough for hanzawa to get angry with him. He doesn’t think he’s smart enough to be club captain. He’s a little worried about how busy hanzawa is, and doesn’t want to be a further burden to him, so he accepts the position as club captain.

And so I guess all this is to say we actually do know a lot about him. He’s a complex and well rounded person, full of kindness and a sharp insight that could make him a top student if he could apply it to his studies. But instead it’s applied to the people he knows and sees, capable of making connections that are far beyond surface level, because that’s the most important part, of course. He doesn’t have low self esteem, he’s just never considered himself one to be very… important, in the grand scheme of things. Especially in the eyes of someone like hanzawa. That “Why me” mentality. But he’s got charm and charisma and is really good at bringing people together. A guy who can be anyone’s friend.

If we want to get into real headcanon-ish (aka things I hold true in my heart no matter what anyone says) territory, I do think he’s the type to not really. tell people his problems. Surface level ones like forgetting his homework, sure, but like. Deep seated fears or worries or stresses. If we want to make comparisons, hanzawas got that kind of smile where you can tell there’s something more going on in him, while tashiros has that outward air of head empty. A persona built around being happy-go-lucky as a kind of defense mechanism—if he isn’t optimistic then who is he. But it’s not like he isn’t genuinely optimistic and cheerful—he is. But it kind of makes being vulnerable hard. He’ll gladly let people open up to him but. Opening up to others doesn’t come naturally. He doesn’t want to burden others. It’s like. Not as deep as I feel like I’m making it sound but it’s just. He will bottle things up. Just a bit.

And then about his insightfulness— nobody really. Tells tashiro things. Likely out of a thought he can’t take things seriously or that he’s too immature. (He does take things seriously though). And at this point nobody thinks to tell him things cause he just figures it out rather quickly. He keeps eyes and ears open and gathers information easily. And people are surprised when he knows things because he doesn’t seem the type to know things or be so insightful to the very core of who they are. He pulls out Sherlock Holmes-esque reasonings like I know you’ve been feeling less nervous lately cause your nails look healthier aka you haven’t been biting them. Idk I’m not good at Holmes but surely you get it. Like the noticing of the most minuscule of things combined with general knowledge of a persons mentality thus creating very accurate assessments. Not that he tells anyone these things unless it piques his interest. Nor that he himself really knows these are deep insights either.

And then his GENDER. Not much to say here but. He was considered along with miyano to be girly enough to do a maid cafe in their first year. When miyano and the gang were thinking abt what their girl names would be tashiro like. Really likes his. Shirahama “I want to be ‘not single’ with a girl” tashiro “want me to crossdress…?” his only claim to manliness is his leg hair. Gender off the charts. Silly guy.

Also silly things I think about him. He’s really into party tricks (like the pencil spinning thing) (started bc he wanted to impress girls but now it’s just fun). He can also do stuff like simple card magic and that thing where you pull a coin out of someone’s ear. He actually really likes problem solving he just can’t handle the school system. Bequeathes him adhd autism. He’s also like. Really into hip hop dance. Because I said so.

Anyways erm. This definitely got longer than expected. I like skimmed through sasamiya again just to find like every piece of him I could. He has CONTINUITY. All of them do. Harusono Shou you are so great at characters. Tashiro Gonzaburou you have a grip on my mind. Love and light

Intro to my account!

Hi I'm Conan i often go by the nickname Cade <- also the name of my main oc Ik I’m so creative :b

So time for the introduction

⬇️

I'm a boy i use he/him pronouns and masc terms

If you didn’t know me and have referred to me as something else that’s totally fine just please try and use the correct pronouns and terms from now on!!! ^^

i use a lot of labels for my sexuality since it’s really complicated but basically I'm aroace oriented and omniromantic + i use biromantic as a umbrella term. I'm ambiamorous which means I'm open to polyamory and monoamory relationships.

!Important! Even though I've put my sexualities and wanting a QPR I'm not open to online dating and never will be

i use a lot of labels so if you wanna see them all check out my pronouns page I'll link it at the end

[**Explaining how one can be aroace and biromantic to those who r confused: aroace is a spectrum aroace is a wide umbrella term you could have absolutely no romantic and sexual attraction or you could have them for ppl you have a emotional bond with already it’s a wide range of identities and the official definition is “little to no sexual and romantic attraction” I personally have a very hard time with experiencing romantic attraction (I’m not to be going into my personal sexual attraction I’m a minor) but I do have other forms of attraction like aesthetic attraction and physical/sensual attraction. Aroace oriented is a specific label for aroace ppl that identify as both aroace and other label for their sexuality. Sorry if this is confusing or phased wrong I tried to explain it to the best of my knowledge and ability in a somewhat short paragraph**]

I use tone tags sometimes especially with ppl idk just because I like controlling how ppl take what I say but i don’t need you to use them some ppl need others to use them due to not being able to pick up on social cues or other reasons that’s not the case I just use them to clarify what I’m saying if you want me to use them with you regularly because you need them to understand me better lmk Im happy to use them more with you specifically I just need to be told ^^

I'll talk about my mental health since I do occasionally post things about my mental health- so basically i have depression and unspecified anxiety disorder professionally diagnosed though my therapist has suggested that the unspecified anxiety disorder is probably both general and social anxiety but I don’t have those officially w. also professionally diagnosed OCD (<- most recent diagnosis lolz) I also have dyslexia and Dysgraphia so if theres any spelling or grammar mistakes in this please be patient.

Don’t call me autistic. I’m not. I love my autistic ppl but we don’t have the same disability. I know a lot of autistic ppl and yes we do have some similar traits but OCD and Autism are NOT the same please stop assuming I’m autistic just because “everyone with neurodivergence is the same” shut up please.

i listen to a lot of different music genres my favorites rn are scene, glitchcore, hyperpop, nightcore, pov: Indie, scenemo, alternative, and emo. I'm alternative kinda scene but I have a really strict uniform at my new school so I can’t really wear regularly scene clothing anymore :c I’m still involved with the community, music, and just the entire subculture in general.

I'm a huge anime/manga fan i love things like ouran host club, banna fish, SK8 the infinity, Bungo stray dogs, ohshi no ko, the stranger by the shore, toilet bound hanako kun, demon slayer, yuri on ice, sasaki to Miyano and a lot more. i read manga when i can find it online for free cuz I'm broke asf -.-

I'm a minor so any donation requests will be ignored as i cannot donate and i also don't want to repost something if i don't know if it's legit so i apologize but i will just delete those dms and comments i do hope if your in actual need of help you can raise the money but at this moment i am not able to help and am not able to confirm your legitimacy

I see people putting a dni list so I'll make one too ig? If your Racist, homophobic, transphobic, ablist, proshipper, anti-furry, anti-therian, anti-neos, anti-xeno, any other unreasonable anti, xenophobic, pedophile, zoophile, fatphobic, trump supporter, extremely judgemental, really anything toxic in General your a dni.

Yeah i think thats it I'll put the links to some of my other platforms I'll update this whenever things change

Also here’s my other account and the YouTube channel connected to it

[mintimagic]

Minti's January Cozy Read 🌱

💕 For January’s cozy read, I’m curling up with the "Sasaki to Miyano Official Comic Anthology"—a collection of sweet, playful, and heartfelt moments from this iconic duo. I’ve been wanting to dive into this one for ages, and I’m finally doing it! 🌱

🥰 Perfect for a snug winter day with a cup of something warm! ☕✨

Can’t wait to share my thoughts with you all at the end of the month.

[absolutebl]

Hi ABL!

We keep getting multiple Japanese manga adaptations a year, so I have a question. From the mangas that you know and like that haven't been adapted yet which one would you give to other BL-producing countries for adaptation? (Bonus points for the preferred pairing 😉)

(I do recall you mentioning a manga that would suit Gem/Fourth but I can't seem to find the post)

Have a great day!

ooo, okay

Japan needs to just DO Kizuna and like NOW. And then The Flower That Seems to Truly Dance, please and thank you.

But that's a different post.

Just off the top of my head and pulling from this older post:

Desire -> Korea

I like it when Korea does high school settings and Desire is a non-frenetic, non-slapstick piece. I think it's suits KBL's quiet elegance more than Japan's HS style

No preference on pairings as Korea rarely reuses a pair.

I'd also give Korea a crack at Given and I Hear the Sunspot (Silhouette of Your Voice), IMHO Japan didn't do great with either.

For something a bit more light weight, how about The Sky Over My Spectacles? or RePlay or The Summer With You.

I actually think there is quite a bit of light soft yaoi that would be better handled by Korea than Japan at this juncture. Sorry not sorry.

For me, Japan hasn't had a hit in that arena since Seven Days. It's a bummer Korea doesn't cross adapt. Not yet, anyway.

Brother -> Taiwan

Brother is explicit, the highest heat manga of its day, and it's taboo. Taiwan is already kinda doing this premise with Unknown (and they touched on it with H4) but Brother is way more sexy and way less angsty. All cards on the table this is probably my favorite yaoi.

As for a pairing? Maybe these two:

But I trust Taiwan to choose great chemistry.

They are the ONLY country I would hand my precious Brother off to.

Finder series -> Thailand

Honestly, there are plenty of high heat pairs who could handle this one. It's photographer meets mafia. MaxNat for example.

Finder's baby boy is a bit of a chaos muffin and our Daddy is VERY Daddy so they do need to play into that dynamic and be able to handle high heat, which means certain pairs are better choices than others.

I'm thinking:

or maybe

As for GeminiFourth I think it was probably Sasaki and Miyano.
