Paraphrase
Golly, mister! You didn't have to have a bunch of guys gang rape me to show you liked me! Next time, just ask me out! Tee hee!

Feels a liiiiittle convenient that he's seemingly run into the guy he raped and had consensual sex with him. But hey, it's yaoiland, so whatever. I was mostly intrigued because it's really rare in omegaverse to have the alpha feel guilty for raping an omega. I would love to see that played out more, like genuine trauma from his own actions. I'm guessing this will mostly be smut, which bums me out since I like more story, and the smut so far didn't do much for me. But it's not a bad manga as of chapter one. I guess we'll see how it unfolds. CHAP 2: Still interesting, and the sex as therapy for his past trauma is nice. I really like seeing someone truly damaged by the awful thing they did, specifically rape. You just never see that explored, and it's even rare to see a rapist in a BL even acknowledge that he is one. So I do like that, if nothing else. I wanna see what's going on with that other omega at the brothel, though. I hope he gets a spin off.
Zon BL
I knew what to expect, and I read it anyway. Now I'm ugly crying and trying not to sob. This is such a beautiful, tragic story. They just loved each other so much. The back and forth from when their lives were happy and their futures were ahead of them just made it all that much more painful. I just hope there's a heaven for things like this. In a fictional world, we can decide for ourselves that they're together again in death.
Sumomo (harada)
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.
Shingeki no Kyojin dj - Mihitsu no Koi ni Yoru Ai
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.
Financial Crisis - Hetalia: Axis Powers DJ
Haru ga kita
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.
Yokosu Inu, Mekuru Yoru
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.
My Hero Academia dj - I Just Don't Want Him to Be the One to Find Out That I Was Disgraced Like This
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.
