otakulys's manga / #Comedy(141)

Lol. Short and weird, but a girl has to make a living, I suppose. Of course, when I carry around a suitcase full of fingers, suddenly it's "disturbing" and "against the law."

Lol, the reaction to her reveal was cute enough for me to bump this up to three stars. It was a harmless little oneshot, though it annoyed me a bit with the whole "boring" crap. Especially when her worth is all summed up by whether or not a guy likes her. (I don't give a crap how he ACTUALLY felt. It's dumb to base your life choices on that.) Just a manga, of course, not real life, but that mentality is real. x_x

The more this drags out, the more I hate Ken. I really wish that Kirara would give him the cold shoulder for once. The tsundere thing gets old after a while. Anyway, it's still a cute manga. I hope the other two end up together. They'd be a cute couple. Hope it updates soon, and that the story starts to pick up a bit with the main two.

Aww. That was quite sweet. It's more of a 4.2 than a 5, but I bumped it up to five because the seme never raped the uke out of love. When he asked if he could put it in, and Tomoya said no, I thought, "Welp, this is it. And later it'll be treated as romantic because he secretly wanted it." But then he didn't, and things still got creepy, but for yaoi, it was pretty relieving that it didn't go the usual way. The oneshot didn't really do anything for me. It was cute and stuff, but I get the feeling that it may have been one of her first attempts at yaoi. Or manga in general. The art was off, the story was weak. But I did love the ending, haha. Not so much of a secret after all.

Uuuuuuggggghhhhh. Okay, the first half of this manga, I thought I had found my dream couple or something. It was so perfect. Then... a bunch of the usual cliches came dancing in and ruined the perfect high. I'll break this into pros and cons, I guess. PROS: * BEAUTIFUL art. Ugh. * Super hot boys. * Genuine love for one another. * True friendship that matters dearly, even if they'd stayed platonic. * Mutual affection from the start. * Some side characters that I really liked. * Funny, cute moments throughout. * Super hot moments, particularly the one that gets this whole thing started. CONS: * MISUNDERSTANDINGS. I hate this trope SO much, and it's in everything. A little bit is one thing, but when it just goes on and on to the point of everyone involved seeming mentally challenged, it becomes more annoying than anything. Using misunderstandings that could easily be cleared up with a little communication is lazy writing. It's a weak plot device, and I can't stand it. Sadly, it's often in yaoi--and things with romance in general--so it's tough to avoid. * "It's okay if it's you." This trope is another one that I can't stand. It was set up in a way to indicate interest in girls had been either passing or just forced, but since bisexuality can never exist in yaoiland, they just HAD to shove in that pointless exchange with him telling the dude he's only into chicks. Why does it always have to be an exception? The cons were fewer in that sense, but they're right below "rape to love" in my list of yaoi tropes that I hate, so it hit me pretty hard. I wouldn't have cared as much if I hadn't liked it so much from the beginning. You may have noticed that it still has five stars, however. If I just ignore those other things, this really is a very sweet story with an adorable couple at the center. I want to read more about these two. I want to read more about senpai and his boyfriend, especially! XD And the art is just so damn lovely. Hopefully some of the mangaka's other work will inspire me in the same ways without irritating me in the others.

Ugh, I love this mangaka already! Why does she only have a single chapter up for all of her stuff? At least the newest one isn't just a oneshot. The art is great, the characters are cute, and I just want more. Mooooooooorrrrreeeeee!!!!

I don't like how much he says gay sex is gross (plus I hate the "it's okay if it's you" trope, barf), but this is adorable otherwise. I wish it weren't a one shot. I wanna see them get it on. Maybe there'll be another part? Here's hoping.

I really love this couple. They're total perverts who are totally low key in love. This is the sweetest you can get from Harada. XD It's like her only couple with a truly healthy relationship and trauma-free lives. It's tacky making light of something so awful, but it plays on the trope that's so common in yaoi, and I like that. Very cute and sweet.

Ah, sadly everything translated here is oneshots that have been posted separately. But it's always fun to give them a second read. I love Harada. The Messiah one has never really done it for me, though. I don't like the idea of him getting with either of those nasty dudes. The fact that he develops feelings for the one guy... yuck. But I enjoy the others. ^^

Haha, very cute, but way too short! I wish there were more about these guys. I love the art, especially the way the uke is drawn. I guess I'll have to give this mangaka a look.
