otakulys's manga / #Comedy(141)

Mixed feelings so far, as this is a weird freaking manga. Oddly gets LESS weird when the hell brothel comes in. But I like the art, even when it's strange. I'm intrigued, at any rate. I hope it doesn't disappoint. Four chapters isn't enough to be sure, but I hope that it's long enough to satisfy what it's set up. Also, lol at whoever tagged this as "slice of life."

Aw, I really like this so far! Bummer that it's just the one chapter right now. I look forward to updates. I like when omegaverse stuff plays with the roles and stereotypes. It's nice to see an anti-rape seme, especially one who cares so much. I hope the story stays interesting and unusual. EDIT: Had to drop a star because I just can't stomach the whole "rape is okay because I actually ended up liking it" BS. Whatever. I still like the characters, but I wish they hadn't even included that crap. At any rate, it's up to chapter six now, and they finally have feelings for one another. I just hope from here on out, things are good.

Ume, how many straight boys you gonna fuck? Anyway, I liked this at first, but now I don't know how to feel, because I'm not sure how this will go. They're probably going to end up together (and I'd seriously rather Hara had his heart broken while Ume went off with Mori or something), but how are they going to reach that point with everything Hara is doing or has done? They keep playing Ume's legitimate pain for comedy. I don't really get how it's funny to be jerked around like that. Hara calls all the shots, and Ume just goes with it. But the story seems to have this air of self-awareness, so I want to keep going, but I'm really worried it's gonna be one of those weird, yaoiland solutions, where they suddenly at the last minute work it out, and they never really address what a selfish dick Hara is. The thing about that, though, is Hara isn't even really a dick, is he? It seems like he's legitimately mentally challenged. Like, is he mentally delayed, maybe? He literally always has the same expression, no matter what's happening, and he acts entirely on impulse without being considerate of other people's emotions, and he's not coming from a malicious place. It seems like he's either mentally challenged or on the autism spectrum. Either way, they portray him in such an odd way, I feel like it can't be accidental, but who knows. As of chapter three, I'm not sure what to expect. Bring more Mori, though! I'm sick of Ume dancing around this crap.

This was very sweet. Not perfect, but I liked the concept of a bully going after the guy he bullied. I'd like to see more stuff like that. The uptight uke kind of took away some of the fun for me, since I'm not really into the rigid, has-to-be-provoked-over-and-over type. I think he was right to not forgive his bully and start dating him immediately, but he was pretty uptight in his life in general. At any rate, I would have liked to have seen more of them when they were younger, but it was an interesting story. The stalking stuff was a bit more intriguing, too. That's okay, though. I'm glad they got their happy ending.

Aww, his boyfriend is so sweet. Pretty rushed, but not too bad. I think Harada's play on it with her Henai couple was a little better, but still, it wasn't the worst thing I've seen.

The irony, of course, being that he's too stupid to see his own hypocrisy. I get the point of the comic, but the main character was just so ugly and endlessly annoying that I couldn't really appreciate the humor or anything. I wish he'd been eaten, too.

Holy crap. I was not expecting to love this as much as I did! I want to keep reading about these two! I don't know if the cliffhanger with the ex is due to another volume coming or tied into the spin off with the ex, but I don't want this to be the end of their story. So freaking sweet and perfect! I thought it was going to be typical shoujo-esque silliness with no substance. It was so much more. I also really, really liked the stuff with his ex. I wish there were more stories with ex-boyfriend issues where the guy doesn't end up back with the abusive piece of crap or whatever. Seriously, though, I hope someone translates the spin off soon. And I hope we get more work from this author! So far, love her stuff!

Kind of weird, kind of awkward, touch of sexism, but it's interesting. Definitely haven't read a yaoi quite like it, haha. I guess we'll see how it unfolds.

Realistic in the sense that women's worth is definitely measured by her appearance. I wish bad things happened to all of those pieces of crap. The demon king was hot. He should have married the princess. Maybe it's not too late!

I need to read this again carefully from the beginning, but either way, it was a pleasant read. I may have skimmed a bit near the beginning, mostly due to anxiety, but I really liked this story of friendship! You just don't get to see that as much. However, a lot of good stuff was too brief or glossed over. I wish it had better-explored those themes. Oh well, still liked it.
