tsukineko's manga / #historical(134)

3.5 stars. A mixed bag. Stories 3, 5 & 6 were my faves, but I can't really remember the others, tbh, (because they're forgettable). The 6th would have worked well as a full-length manga imo. I just love yakuza yaoi lol. Also, the tats in the 6th were pretty well drawn, so as to almost jump out of the page!

Beautiful art; sexy, ripped bods; hot, uncensored h scenes; an engaging plot; likeable characters, (yes, even the uke is likeable)... One can't really ask for much more! I love this mangaka. Her drawing style reminds me a little of Ike Reibun's - probably just because it's finer and more detailed than most manga art.

3.5 stars. I love the way the poetry was interwoven through this, as well as the nature metaphors. (The Japanese and Chinese are particularly good at this.) It should have a shota tag, but, tbh, that would mean that I would never have read it, and I'm kind of glad that I did, (even though it made me cry and feel sick).

After this, read Wild Fangs, then Wild Rose.

After this, read spin-off 'Corsair - Eigetsu'.

Looking forward to reading this, given that I love fairytales and their twistedness.

Ignore the 'ongoing' tag - It's finished but there are some FAKE raws afterwards, (apparently).
