otakulys's manga / #sad(233)

I like it so far! Only one chapter, so we'll see, but I have my fingers crossed for a really good story. And one that doesn't end in tragedy, because I catch hints of that in this sort of thing.

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.

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.

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.

I really like this so far! I wish there were more than two (technically 3) chapters. I can't wait for an update. Also, they cut the pages really well. It sucks so much when the dialogue and images are all slice up in strange ways. Really looking forward to future chapters!

I want to like this, and it's interesting and different, but why, why, WHY do they always have to "become pretty?" Can't it ever be that they find happiness and confidence without having to physically change? I hate this sort of thing so much. Whenever there's an "ugly" girl as the main character, generally people are just cruel constantly, then she gets super hot and everyone is nice, and no one ever gets their comeuppance for being crappy. It's just reinforcing the idea that women are only worth how attractive they can be to others. I say that assuming that's what happens. I will be shocked if she doesn't suddenly become beautiful because of the doctor. I'll change my rating if she doesn't, but since she probably will, I'll tentatively keep reading.

I'm really intrigued so far. It has that dark grit that I love in BL, and crime families, etc. are my guilty pleasure. It isn't perfect, and I could see it getting annoying in a way, but I have high hopes, so five stars for now.

I actually liked the dark, sad nature of the story, but the ending was so abrupt. This guy's heart is broken, and all we get is "damn it." The end. Anyway, I wish it had been longer. Weird way to end it after all that. Otherwise the rating would have been hire, but this is like a blue balling situation. You give us all this delicious drama and emotion, then you just leave us hanging.

Hmmm... Interesting so far. I need more chapters to get a better feel, so it's a four for now, but could go either way. Only one chapter at the moment. It's got a concept I'd like to see more often in yaoi, overcoming homophobia and what not. But how it unfolds is tricky. We'll see. EDIT: Five stars for going much better than I thought it might! I need to read it again from the start, after these few chapters, but it's such a sweet, touching story. Sad, too, but in the right ways. I also like that it wasn't some random dude who wouldn't take a hint. I was worried that was the case, so I'm glad it ended up being more complicated between them. I really wish there were more stories like this. I love the whole overcoming homophobia thing, the fear and the bravery and the growth. This was a great read, and I love the twist with Matsuri. I hope he gets some love soon! Maybe in an extra chapter or something. He deserves his own manga.

Ooh, this looks like something I'd really like. Which means it'll probably let me down completely. But for now! I like that they have this history between them. I hope it's a solid story and not just a bunch of pathetic misunderstandings and/or rape-forgiveness. I'm intrigued, either way.
