This ASMR BL is bursting with heart-fluttering kinks!
Karasuma Koudai is an introverted university student who streams spicy ASMR roleplays once or twice a week. His view counts haven’t been increasing as of late, though, so he’s been thinking of quitting. Then he discovers that the cheerful and popular Minami Masaya–his polar opposite–is an avid listener who actively chats during his streams. Even more shocking is Minami’s red-faced admission that he used Karasuma’s ASMRs for his own self pleasure, “I can’t come without your voice…”
Karasuma is so surprised that he offers to help without thinking. At first, he feels a sense of superiority from seeing Minami’s lurid reactions to his voice, but he gradually finds that talking isn’t enough–he grows to like Minami and wants to touch him gently.
sorry frosh I just couldn’t keep reading it, It jumped in so quickly and I haven’t been able to move past where I left off…😭 I’ll come back to it (maybe)
*Original Review 2/12/2025* Rating: 4* This was so much cuter than I was expecting. I really love their relationship and it had a lot of tropes I like. SO CUTE.
*Reread 3/7/2025* I couldn't stop thinking about them so I had to reread and also bumped up my rating because I still loved it so much. It's just so sweet and steamy. Obsessed.
*Reread 2/15/2026* Ah! I love these two. I'm so happy to have a physical copy and I can't wait for volume 2 to come out so I can read again.
This was absolutely delightful 😌 I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Let’s start with the obvious: this maga was horny as hell. No way it wasn’t going to be considering the premise is that it comes out that Minami is a fan of Karasuma’s nsfw streams 😂 Of course it was going to be horny.
However, it’s also very sweet! The story is also about how Karasuma is a loner because he’s always been seen as the less appealing brother. People are put off by him because he’s reserved and hesitant to talk to others. It’s lead to Karasuma basically feeling like no one could ever really like him or enjoy his company. Overall, he’s very unmoored in his life.
Having this surprise encounter with Minami really changes things for Karasuma. Minami is friendly and outgoing. He’s a bit shy around Karasuma because he finds his voice arousing, but he’s still very much interested in learning more about him. It’s because of his interactions with Minami that Karasuma starts coming out of his shell a bit more. Karasuma even ends up making a friend because of Minami! It’s adorable 💖
Finally, I must say I absolutely love the fact that Minami wants to be teased in a “mean” way, but all Karasuma wants is to be nice and sweet to him 😂 It’s a great little mix. Minami definitely still gets what he wants, but Karasuma also eventually gets his way too. It’s a win-win situation that I’m 100% here for.
I was going back and forth whether to buy and read this one and if it was just going to be pure smut and no plot (which no shade, but I wanted to spend money on a bit more than smut today) and I am so glad I read the reviews of this one being so green forest. It WAS! So sweet--this was honestly so sweet, and not the kinkiest manga I've read thus far as I expected from the comments. I found it intimate and really gentle and that was very sweet. I look forward to the next volumes and to see more of these characters and their story. The only downside to me was I liked the cover art more than the art throughout the book. I find this common with a lot of BL I have read that I would like the art to be different...but if the plot is here I am here for it. Surprised by the censorship in a Seven Seas manga as well. Overall, art is okay-good to my personal taste (because everyone will judge aesthetics differently!), plot was quite good-great to me, and I'm hoping to read more :)! Thanks to the fellow reviewers for giving me the courage and resolve to pick this copy up!
***zaterdag 7 maart 2025*** Translator: Minna Lin ⭐4.5 (rounded down) - really liked it
I kind of knew what to expect going in but I was surprised by the wholesomeness of it all? The main character Karasuma is very respectful of Minami so even if the set-up is out there, I ended up enjoying (*snort*) it.
This could be called an erotica. The premise is about sex and the romance follows. But in the end the romance is the important part. Although I think the blurb and cover is very open about that. No surprise there.
The art is gorgeous first of all in this and second, it kinda got boring with the bois doing the same thing over and over. They could've cut this story a wee bit short but it dragged for me so I dropped it...
this manga gave me absolutely nothing. their relationship was confusing and i didn’t like how they both just used each other and then out of nowhere they both fell in love like oh okay…
Not sure how this was SO wholesome and SO kinky at the same time but props to Aino Coco for achieving that 🤣 so freaking cute and sexy. Can’t wait for vol 2 💖
