Mama Fujoushi's manga / #Multiple stories(368)

Interesting stories. The first with the author and editor, I wasn't sure of at first. Sexy, no doubt, but the psychological games bugged me a bit. I'm really glad that they ended up together. The second with the kid who lays out half naked and his neighbor. It was interesting and I loved the page in the last chapter that shows them together years later (and the kid is way taller than the other guy! LOL). Nooooot sure about the butler/young master thing. I don't think I get that one. Teacher/student. When it came out why the student was the way he was, I felt SO bad. And I'm also pissed for the kid at the other teacher. Did he leave the student behind? (Or was it a case of getting arrested?) That could have been clearer. I do like that a later page shows the teacher keeping the promise to the student. Pretty good overall, though not sure it's my favorite or anything.

First chapters (1-2.5?) were the high school students. Those were fun and cute. The last three with the author and his assistant were... different but good too. I am not sure if I liked everything about the second story but I enjoyed reading all of it. Not too much angst, but good oeverall.

I loved the first couple. I have to laugh at the "it's not sexual harrassment if we're a couple" line. The second one... tsundere. *sigh* REALLY getting tired of those. I swear, I wish there was a way to know if one of the characters is one before I get too far into it. Overall, it's good.

DO NOT READ 2 or 6. Tragedy. (I didn't, either.) First story with the student who liked flowers was sweet. (1, 3&4) The second with the student and the cafeteria cook was okay but I didn't really like the cafeteria guy. (Ch 5) I'd give the first 5/5 and the second 3/5 so average out to 4.

Well, then. Three great stories. First is bdsm. Coworkers who are actually attracted to each other, one who is a closet masochist. The other who isn't *necessarily* a sadist, learns to dominate for the other guy. Bit of a rough start in places, but really good. Second is the ooooooold childhood friends who meet again. He shows up asking to marry him and it's a bit of a runaround. Not as happy with this one, but it's not *bad*. Third; writer, detective. I *really* didn't know what to expect. It wasn't labeled tragedy, but it sure made me worry for a while. Great story, good ending. Overall, lovely. Rereads, definitely.

This would have been 5* save two things: 1) It was too short and didn't feel like it really ended. The second one was absolutely adorable and I loved loved LOVED those two. 2) The first didn't feel like the end of the story. It certainly wasn't a *romance* so much as it felt more like PWP/smut. I don't MIND that, but it wasn't what I was expecting. I would have liked to see the two separate couples officially together.

Meh. It was a good story but it felt unfinished. Like there was still story waiting to be told. I would have liked to see Masayuki and Aoto truly together, accepted by Takashi, and living together (perhaps during Aoto's college). I also would have liked to see Akira and his bf more solidly in a relationship. I liked his bf's growth, but I wanted to see Akira accept him just a little more. *sigh*

The one for chapter 5 is weird. NOT developed well as a 3some, so very odd. The first is REALLY good (5 seconds) and I really liked the second story (the twins). The "stalker" was a bit weird, too, but not bad like the 3some. Last one is porn star and his cameraman best friend. Star is (duh) in love with best friend and only picks fellow actors if they look like the best friend. BF is in love with star and is shooting the scenes to be close. They hit a breaking point and bf drags star over and fucks him in front of the camera and everyone (and they finally get their heads out of their asses). Last page of that one is the star getting into regular TV with the bf directing him.
