mangasaeki's manga / #Smut(141)

This was really refreshing in the sense that the character's personalities were so calm and collected. There was no major drama either which was unusual as well, but it was portrayed in a comfortable and sincere way. I really liked the amount of time the characters didn't spend together. Typically, even in real life, people would meet up more often than they did but because of their personalities and having their priorities/morals in check, they just came to each other when they had the time or it was necessary. Both characters, despite the seme being more antsy, were very mature and had a certain dynamic that was spicy but sweet. The art is stunning, of course. Smut was full of chemistry. I personally don't like stories from a brothel perspective, so I can't say I loved that plot point but either way, I very much enjoyed this read.

Tbh, it was really meme-able. Anyway, slight dubcon but a cute read!

Only the last two chapters are worth reading....

The art is STUNNING. However, I don't usually fuck with comedies that continuous for a number of reasons and this manga is beginning to show those signs. It is meant to be read in an episode format. Yes, there's underlying (potential) story to it but the plot is mostly episodic. 'Characters do this in this chapter and it has almost nothing to do with the rest of manga' type deal. I personally don't enjoy that format, and it's a common one in comedy, specifically. I know that this manga is also meant to touch on topics which are not unbeknownst to yaoi (obviously, yaoi literally refers to smut with no plot really between men), which is totally fine and is used comically, but I feel as though the mangaka could spend less time on piling the troupes and topics so much on top of each other. It's almost too overwhelming, which then leads me to get bored very fast. Some moments are wonderfully illustrated, while others feel dumb and much like a form or reminiscent of Jackass (the films). Anyway, I'm going to have to drop this manga here and give it 3 stars overall. I enjoyed it for the most part but I'm struggling to continue beyond the boredom it's making me feel. If pointless jackass comedy with a shit load of smut is your cup of tea, have at it!

Honestly, I could break this entire thing down on where it was good, bad and fucked up, but what would be the point if it's Harada. There's a very intense rape scene, so if you cannot handle that, I would seriously recommend not reading this manga. Anyway, the art is beautiful, as always. The plot was actually coherent as well. Very intense all around, not necessarily good but not bad either because the themes were so intense.
