otakulys's manga / #rape(198)

Not a Sugar Daddy

Complete | Pyapya | 2017 released

Okay, so the part with the misunderstandings and all that painful stuff, along with the fact that he was SO mean to the uke (though he was acting out of hurt, which is a human thing to do), was very heartbreaking. But other than that, they are the sweetest, most loving couple I've seen in a while. They're in a truly healthy relationship, which is so rare in any romantic genre, especially yaoi. The seme just loves him so, so much. Also, A+ for the depiction of a coping rape survivor. It's easy to forget things, to second guess yourself, to downplay what happened. Behavior gets more erratic, guilt rushes in, then anger. A victim may randomly lash out or express sensitivity toward things that they'd normally been okay with. You just never really get to see that. Rape can't be healed with make up sex. As of chapter 27, I really like it. I hope it keeps being great. There are things that make it less than perfect, but they're overshadowed by how different it is as a manwha. I'm so glad he finally called out those shitty girls for what they did, though I suppose I should forgive the one chick for lashing out in anger, too. She had a big crush, and she took her hurt out on the uke. Regardless, I'm so happy he finally said something. So often it's this stupid thing where he instantly forgives everyone, or they never really talk about it. He actually got pissed and said how he felt. I wish more stories were like this. Looking forward to the next chapter!

Megumi and Tsugumi

Ongoing | Si Mitsuru | 2018 released

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.

Boys of the Dead

Complete | Tomita Douji | 2019 released

Damn, I want it to be longer! There were things I didn't love about this, but it's so unique and complex. I just wanted it to keep going. There wasn't enough room here to do what could have been done. As far as oneshots go, it was a solid approach to the whole thing, making it a story he was telling. I just wish there'd bee more. :( Noooo!! My heart! The second story was really touching and sweet and deeply sad. I hate that we're left here, knowing that inevitably they're doomed. I mean, they're kind of doomed already, right? Either way, I wish we got more stuff like this, only with happier endings. x_x

Midarana Omega wa Koi wo Shinai

Complete | Yashiki Shima | 2019 released

"My bad." Lmao. I liked it for what it was so far. Even though it's kind of weird, it's not bad for omegaverse. At least the seme didn't want to do that to him, though apologizing in that way is pretty bizarre. Also, where was the injection earlier? I'm curious to see how this unfolds, though, especially since the pimp guy has history with the seme. Looking forward to chapter two.

Kiraide Isasete

Ongoing | Hijiki , ひじき | 2018 released

I didn't like the pushy part near the end, but otherwise, this was the sweetest seme I've ever seen in an omegaverse where he actually was affected by the pheromones. I love the lengths he went to to avoid hurting the uke. This was a very sweet and sad story. There were some parts that were a bit rushed, but that's typical for manga. I wish we could have more of the two of them together, though. Well, four of them, I guess. Anyway, yay for another story that isn't rape to love! I hate that trope so much, and in omegaverse it's always treated as something excusable because he just couldn't control himself. Gag me.

Love Comedy

Complete | Shiranagi Yurika | 2005 released

...Wtf. I mean, maybe it was partly the awkward translation, but... that was a pretty weird one. Glad he had that maraca there so the guy could rape him with it. If he hadn't had it, he never would have found his true love! Serendipity!

Lies like Lies

Complete | Jirak,Taesung | 2019 released

Ooh, this looks promising! I'm eager to see how it unfolds. Also a little nervous that I'll end up disappointed, but hey. Only zero and first chapter up right now, so it's hard to tell how it'll turn out. Fingers crossed. EDIT: As of chapter three, I'm really intrigued, and I hope it updates quickly. However, it's difficult to understand what's going on, partly because of the translation, but also because of the sparse background, layout, and similar-looking characters. I'm hoping it becomes clearer as it unfolds.

Kamiato Kara, Hatsukoi

Ongoing | Arinco | 2019 released

Hmm. Honestly it isn't nearly as bad as I expected given the description. It's sort of similar to my favorite omegaverse story, regarding fate and past mistakes, etc. though this one doesn't handle it anywhere near as well. Still, I'm used to much worse with this stuff. At least the rape isn't brushed off, or worse, played for laughs.

DOGMA(Akabeko)

Complete | Akabeko | 2000 released

Holy fuck, that's messed up and really, really sad. I still feel bad for the main character. It's the father's fault he's nuts. So weird, though. I love this mangaka, so I read whatever she writes, but this was... a new experience.

Yubisaki wa Koi no Aji

Complete | honjoh rie | 2000 released

What the fuck... The first little oneshot was gross, though the mini-story with the one guy as a little bat pet thing was cute. The main story is okay, I guess. Nothing special. At least they were respectful of one another. The other couple, though, ugh. As far as rape to love goes, the most disgusting thing for me is when the victim starts apologizing to the rapist for hurting the rapist's feelings or some shit. I always wish the uke would die after that to really destroy the seme, since the seme is always doing it out of some sort of intense jealousy or love. You don't deserve a happy ending, you piece of crap.
