otakulys's manga / #dark(197)

Eh? That escalated quickly. Way too short, and pretty weird. Was that dark humor, with her casually being like, you idiot, now I'm gonna die? Or was it just an awkward point of dialogue? Either way, it was too short and abrupt to leave much of an impression.

Eh. I guessed the entire thing by the description alone, and I assume most other people will, too. It had some potential regardless, but the translation made it hard to get into it. Still, an effort was made all around, so that's worth noting.

Ugh, poor Momo. So fucked up. He went through SO much. This is just another chapter of that. I'm so glad that in Yatamomo we finally got to see the moment where he stops the facade and lets himself cry, truly mourn the awful things he's experienced. Also, his mom is horrible, but I like the concept of her. I would have liked to have seen more of her, like her own spinoff of her life and what not. Harada is pretty amazing in a lot of ways, and one of those ways is that her female characters are always just as interesting and often just as fucked up. Not super common for yaoi.

Oh god, the fluids. So many fluids. D: This was some seriously fucked up shit. I'm glad it stayed that way, at least, and never became consensual. I hate that in omegaverse. Or in general, but it seems pretty common in that genre in particular. I mostly am horrified by how much dripping there was. It was super disgusting. But whatever, not the worst oneshot I've ever read. I don't like doujinshi that forces a non-canon or unrealistic pair, but I like omegaverse, despite myself, so here I am. This is only the second time I've encountered abortion in omegaverse, though. It'd be interesting to see the concept explored more.

Yep, that's... pretty fucked up. I like some of the themes, but it's mostly just rape-kink smut, so sadly none of that goes anywhere. Could be worse, though.

Aw, what a very sweet, sad little story. I wish a lot of elements had been longer and more fleshed out. The stalker part was way too rushed. The reveal had me excited, but then it was just over. I think the story would have benefited having a few volumes to really explore the struggle between the identity of Haru/Sakura, etc. But still, sweet story, and I love me some hurt/comfort, so five stars.

I read the comments and actually expected this to be way worse. It was too brief to really have an impact, though the ending was certainly cruel. It made me sad when his friend was so excited to hear from him and see him, when we know the true reason for all of it. Other than that, it was kind of rushed, and I skimmed the smut scene because I wasn't fond of the art, nor the type of sexual exchange. At any rate, it had potential to really offer a sucker punch at the end, but it's otherwise unremarkable.

Noooooo, update soon, please! I so rarely find manga that truly scratches that hurt/comfort itch. I crave this sort of thing. It's so dark and beautiful and messed up. It made me cry, but in just the right way. I'm not sure what to expect in the future, but I really hope that there's an update soon. I'm worried this has been abandoned completely, since it's been a while. There are so many things I love about this story. I wish there were more like it out there. At the same time, I wish that love triangles didn't have to end in someone "choosing." Why can't he be with both of them? They're all fucked up anyway. They're all so damaged, especially the ukes. You can't entirely blame them for doing stupid, selfish things, given the way they've been taught to survive. Anyway, I'm going to die if this isn't updated.

It's stressing me out that this is just a random doujin. I want an entire series with this art and this set up. I feel like everything with action and intrigue is full of m/f pairings and romance, even when romance doesn't fit. You hardly ever find good work with a strong plot AND gay content, but when you do, it's always really short. Such a bummer. This artist did such a great job! I wish there were other works by her on this site. Also, haven't seen the anime this is based on, but knowing it won't actually be gay and fun like this, I struggle to push myself to check it out. If it isn't a het-brigade, I might just have to watch it, though.

Yuck. Gross art, gross dudes, gross actions. And he gets away with it. It's a fetish thing, so this is made for a very specific audience. I hope they find it, because I certainly was not the core demographic for this one.
