A Beast's Love Is Like the Moon by Guri Nojiro

 

Tired of the fast-paced city life, Izuki has agreed to take care of his uncle's house in the mountains, which are said to be "visited by yokai."

Izuki, dismissive of the superstition, goes exploring — only to be attacked by a yokai in the woods. He's saved by a beautiful man named Haku, who claims to be the incarnation of a komainu guardian dog. He pledges himself to Izuki and begs him to be his master. Izuki refuses at first, wanting to return to the city as quickly as possible, but is swayed by Haku's lonely eyes and brings him back to the house. Gradually, he falls into a comfortable rhythm with the pushy but devoted Haku while living under the same roof, and Izuki wonders if he really wants to return to the city as he thought.

However, Haku harbors a secret that could put Izuki's life at risk. Will Izuki and Haku come together in the end, or will Haku succumb to the loneliness that he's held at bay for centuries...?

Living with Him (2024)

 Overall I liked Living with him. I should alert people, I had already read the manga, therefore the lack of passionate moments wasn't something that took me by surprise, despite the manga is listed under erotic content. Both the manga and the drama are not really erotic, they are actually very ingenue, no sex at all. But that does not mean there are not intimate moments, the drama is all about the intimacy of a couple living together, there are a lot of tender moments, and the cinematography is really emphasizing the sweet atmosphere. One big surprise for whom has not read the manga, is that these two boys come clear with their feelings for each other quite soon and already at episode 3 they are talking about being a couple. Overall a comfort and sweet drama. HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala. Heat Level: 2/6.

Angel & Devil by Jun Uzuki

 

Despite a stern demeanor, schoolteacher Tomo Fujiki has a weakness for cute things, but can't really express this. As the teacher with the scary reputation, Fujiki naturally scares the living daylights out of the new, angelic, and unbearably cute transfer student, Kazunari Shiina. Fujiki resolves to change his intimidating nature, but the appearance of a mysterious young man late one night who steals a kiss makes him rethink the "Mr. Nice Teacher" act. The boy claims the same name as "Kazunari Shiina," but his personality isn't that of a cute little angel, but a sneaky little devil. Are there two "Kazunari Shiina" or is it just Fujiki's imagination?
