tsukineko's manga / #oneshot(327)

A collection of unusual oneshots, with interesting relationship dynamics.

I quite liked these, apart from the pedo one.

Tbh, I can't get past those awful, traditional hairstyles. Aside from that, I don't think this manga's all that good. It's too short to properly convey the depth of their feelings, and the characterisation is minimal. The h scenes are so roughly drawn, that it's hard to tell who's doing what to whom, (although the ink mark on the craftsman makes it easier to tell). Anyhow, I wouldn't reread this one, and I usually love historical yaoi!

3.5 stars. This was really good, but it needs a continuation in which they actually get together! (Then I would rate it 4 stars.) I really hope so - for their sakes and ours! As things stand, it was pretty heart-rending to see them not get together, when they're so clearly in love. The last pages leave room for hope, though. I choose to believe that he meant that they would get together later, when he leaves the family.

3.5 stars. That was lovely! So sweet, but in a realistic, rather than a fluffy way. It was a sensitive portrayal of a relationship between mature adults. Quite refreshing. Also, I'm always glad to see couples practising safe sex. And they're a riba couple yay! Many reasons to like this manga. Why is it, then, that I can't bring myself to say it was brilliant or worth 4 stars? Maybe it was lacking a little oomph? Dunno - it was clearly MEANT to be a slow burner, and I LIKED that about it, but I still feel it was lacking something, though I can't quite put my finger on what... Maybe passion? Yeah, that's probably it. I'll certainly read more by this mangaka, though.

This one looks sooo hot, I'm just gagging to read it! Edit: Well I just read it and YES IT WAS fucking hot! I'm putting it in 'now reading', though, because apparently there are another 8 chapters! Even though this is currently uploaded here as a completed one-shot, I hope the rest will eventually be translated and uploaded here...

Sweet, but completely improbable. No h scenes. Not yaoi.

3.5 stars. I really enjoyed that. I like the art style, and the stories were fun.
