just_m3h's manga / #love triangle(16)

I like Ruka and Reo, and I like how the story turned out to be more than what the title implies. It is still undeniably smut, but there is a hint of plot. And honestly, I think Ruka is not a terrible main, I like that she is described as an original thinker and hardworking, I love that those are the first things Reo noticed about her. Reo is also a good lead, waiting for penetrative sex until she was ready and all. The thing is, I like Taiga too. I think, on some level, he is in love with both of them. It's sad to see him sidelined, but I don't want their friendship to be affected either :/

1: I actually enjoyed this, parallel universes are extremely rare in a yaoi setting, this is the first I've read. Amatatsu was really brave and Sen was really great in the parallel universe. He also develops well in the actual verse and their sex together was *.* 5 The story was just toi rushed and short a real shame. 3: I really liked how Yuuto did a great job in improving Kazusa's confidence and just being venerally supportive. Agree with Author, Kazusa is going to be a force to be reckoned with. 4 4: I liked best friend zoned more than the second story. The plot was enjoyable, though I've seen it many times. Here, Minoru actually realised how Akichika felt about him and came back. Really appreciate him not being dense where it counts. 4.5 5: Come on! Sexual assault has no place in this otherwise fluffy collection! I know it's being downplayed as comical, especially since it wasn't penetrative, but I hate it. And Karatachi clearly said no :/ 2.5 Overall: 4

Nishihiro has been in unrequited love with his only friend, Nakano, for a while. Nakano never notices, but someone else does... I didn't really love this one. Between Nakano actually having strong feelings for Nishihiro after all, and them being just a good match as Nishihiro and Kutou are, I just felt sad. It made me feel bittersweet. The art looked like they were in uni, a bit mature for high school. Anyway, not my favourite. 4.4

1: Akabane gets sucked into an alternate dimension with Moriya, his love rival (who is also in love with Akabane). This dimension is undergoing turmoil with a coup and magic and monsters and their summoner draws her powers from Moriya and Akabane exchanging bodily fluids? On top of that, the girl who liked Moriya (whom Akabane was rejected by) is also there fighting for the evil side?? Just. Why? The plot is strange with absurd tangents and the story is incomplete. How does he decide to just stay in an alternate dimension forever just for Moriya's sake? He doesn't even know him that well. Does he not have family? Friends? We don't see him consider them at all. Maybe because time doesn't pass in our dimension, while he is there. But, what about aging? And does Moriya ever recover? We just never know! That's no good! Also, why is there always an annoying girl in yaoi mangas? Why?! 3.9 7: Random oneshot about two guys, a stereotypical weak, girly uke, and a pushy, built, overbearing seme.They're in school, it's nearly summer break, seme pretends to help uke, eventually pushes him down and has his way with him. Consensual. But annoying, nonetheless. Very pointless oneshot. 3.5

I'm rooting so. fucking. hard. for them. Please let them be happy together, please.

Oh. I. It's. Let me take a guess. Shah Na In is the one who played that song on the lyre for him all those hundreds of years ago. And Shah Amon stole him from his lands and did some unspeakable thing to his memory. And the ONLY reason either of them are drawn to the new Leshah is because he hails from the same land as Shah Na In, where plovers roam the riverbanks. My God. Could that be it? I feel such pure horror reading this, the constant fear, not knowing what more unbearable things the Shah or his devout followers will do next. But I must read on. I must see Shav Na In through to the other side. Ch 21
