otakulys's manga / #Slice of Life(186)

Interesting so far. I'm not completely opposed to the art, but it isn't my fave. I'm guessing this will go a pretty obvious direction, but I'm holding out for being surprised.

Noooooooo I want more! I want to keep reading about this sort of thing. I feel like 99% of yaoi has no real plot beyond the romance. I would have loved to have seen this as a longer series. Lovely art, sweet character relations. I have a few questions about some of the confusing aspects, but I left the story feeling satisfied. Very sweet, really glad I read it. EDIT: Crap, now I realize why it was confusing. This is a spin off of another work. I forgot that I'd been meaning to read the other one first. Oh well, I suppose it didn't spoil too much.

I admit, I'm kind of intrigued. I love stories focusing on polyamoury, rare as they are, though I'm not sure how I feel about the main woman's life and relationship. I mean, in Western comics it would be pretty obvious how this will go, but I see so much weird forgiveness in this particular genre. I really, really hope the main girl is the one who gets multiple lovers, or something like that. We'll see. I'm nervous moving forward, but I like the poly family right now. They're mostly not creepy, which is nice.

This is... really weird, and really gross, and the title is offensive, but it's... oddly charming? In a way? I don't even know. It's pretty disgusting and definitely stupid, but I still read it all the way through, so what does that say about me?

Not perfect, but still really sweet, and one of the few non-rapey Omegaverse stories I've read, so I gave it five stars. I definitely need to read the next one, and I hope it keeps going from that point, too. It'd be nice to have a little series like this.

Very cute. It has its flaws, and this translation isn't quite as good as the other, but I appreciate the person taking the time, regardless. The art is so awesome, and I love that it's just a sweet, loving relationship without typical Omegaverse rape.

Three stars for now just because I'm... kind of confused? The art is fantastic, and I like what I see, but I don't understand what's happening. It jumps around so much with no clear indication of who's who, so I can't tell which things are old memories, which things are currently happening, and which things are random, supernatural occurrences, like the building appearing. Or was that even supposed to seem mysterious? I don't even know. So yeah, here's hoping it fills us in more soon.

I have no idea what this is exactly, but I really like that the mangaka draws such a variety of women! There are traditionally pretty girls, cutesy girls, mature girls, sort of dorky girls, girls who may otherwise be considered unattractive, and none of them are treated one way or another based on that. Otherwise, the story is pretty gloomy, and I'm not sure if it'll pay off in the end. From the first chapter, I can only gauge that it's about a self-loathing, jaded mangaka who can't really tap into joy anymore and lives primarily in regret. He has a loveless marriage and, in his mind, a thankless job. I get the sense that it's going to pull in his past romance, but the title certainly implies a major life crisis. I haven't read this mangaka before, so I'm not sure whether or not to anticipate a happy or sad ending.

Strange and sad little story regarding the worth we put on people based on their appearance and what they can do for us. I like the message, but I wish this sort of story could last longer. It sucks that girls like this, either monstrous in appearance or just outside of typical beauty, can really only exist in some sort of moral tale to highlight the fact that we care too much about looks.

I like the unsettling feeling throughout, knowing what kind of man this guy is. I wish there'd been more, though. It's just there and gone, though the implication is enough. Still, it felt like it stopped too abruptly. ETA: Oh, I see that it was incorrectly marked as completed. I hope the next chapter is translated soon! EDIT: What the flying fuck? I was excited to see that it was up to chapter three, but this is not at all what I thought was going to happen. That little kid is like a budding serial killer. This is like a really weird, creepy love triangle. Very disturbing and unsettling. I'm trying to figure out what the point is. The story seems all over the place, unlike her other work, and nothing really happens other than creepy interactions. I want him to just run away from that creepy house and live with his classmate. That kid is totally gonna kill that bird, ugh.
