otakulys's manga / #smut(177)

"I'm too scared to ask, but I think maybe Shinobu is gay." ... .... .......... What makes you say that, guy who currently has the dude's dick up his ass??? This is the definition of what I hate in yaoi. For whatever reason, the uke is always magically worried about the seme or starts to find him attractive in the middle of rape, and it's like this weird romance. It's so gross. I'm intrigued by the strangulation fetish, so I checked this out, hoping it would be more interesting than your typical rape to love bullshit. It isn't. It just adds choking. Take the choking out and it's the same as a million other stories. I understand that Japanese culture encourages meekness, but I feel like the lengths ukes go to help others in these things is kinda pushing it. This story would have been cute if they'd started as consensual fuck buddies with no feelings between them, but because the guy just jumps the other guy, it's gross. Anyway, they were all supposed to be kinky, kinda twisted stories, but they came across as average stories with weird shit shoved in there. I know a lot of people are confused by the second story, but I kinda liked it. I wish it were a lot longer. You don't see a lot of stuff focusing on MPD, and when it is, it portrays the person as dangerous or something. This wasn't super accurate, but it was better than a lot of stuff out there. I also liked the fourth story. It was very sad, but I like that moment of realization, how he coped with the trauma and the implications of all the times he's seen monsters. The third story, uh... I'm not sure how to feel going into a manga that starts off talking about bloody diarrhea. Not my thing, but there are people out there who hate how yaoi guys don't poop, or at least bitch about it. So here ya go! Also, why is there a tragedy tag? Am I missing something? So far, no one has died.

Is there a duplicate on here? I thought I read and rated this one already. Huh. Anyway, this isn't even the worst thing she's done to him, lol. I love Harada, but that woman loves to torture her fave characters. I understand, though. I'm the same way. Regardless, it would have been nice to see Gin return in time to see what he let happen. I'm fine with the hardcore stuff, but I'm really in it for the hurt/comfort, which we don't get here. Boo. I've never seen the anime and only read the doujinshi because Harada is one of my fave mangaka, but I wonder how accurately she depicts these characters, haha.

I don't mind shota in some settings, but the whole "nympho shota" thing has always creeped me out. I know it's all pretend and just fantasy, but it reminds me too much of people who lust after real, human children. To each their own, though. Not trying to kink shame.

Cute little story. Nothing too amazing, but sweet enough. I think with the right writer, an expansion on the story could have made it more interesting. But that's okay. It was quick and sweet.

Whaaaaaaaaaat, I somehow didn't see that coming. XD I should have, all things considered, and Harada's work is always so deliciously fucked up, but I've never seen her play with perspectives like this before. Of course, it wouldn't really be Harada if it weren't terribly twisted, right? Haha, I love her. I can't believe it took me this long to read this one. Twisted as can be, with an ominous, ambiguous ending. So calculating, right to the very end. Harada doesn't pull any punches. She knows her characters are sick and wrong, and the narrative doesn't make any apologies for it. If only more yaoi stuff didn't act like psychotic, abusive behavior could be fixed or forgiven. This was a great read with an ending that satisfied me. I don't know how else it could have possibly concluded without it being a bit irritating. (Though a more violent end to a certain someone would have been nice, but that'd sort of ruin what the story was going for, haha.)

I'm not familiar with the anime this is based on, which is how I prefer it if I'm gonna read a doujinshi. This was a strange, dark little tale that had potential. There were things I liked, because sick and twisted in the right way is great, but it was sort of canceled out a bit by some of that other weird, yaoi stuff where the blow is softened with bizarre allusions to love or some crap. Rape is rape, bitches. Still, it was intriguing, and the art is pretty. I wish doujinshis weren't oneshots as a rule.

This should be called "Straight Boys and Unrequited Love." That was the theme throughout, but the endings were either happy or open with a sad-ish feel. Nothing was solidly stated. They all end at a crossroads, where a relationship may or may not develop. I love this artist, so I read it, even though I hate straight-gay pairings. The stories were all right, mostly a bit sad, but not nearly as soul-crushing as I was expecting. The comments had me afraid to even read it. But as of chapter 7, things are still relatively light. The longest story had more sad elements, of course, but there could still be more for the guys someday. I know the wish is for the guy who's in love to end up with his straight friend, but I wish more of these stories would end with the friendship continuing in a healthy way, and the guy falling head over heels for someone else who actually loves them back from the start. Why does it always have to be that the straight guy falls for him anyway, or no one gets what they want and everything is sad, the end? There are other options, is all I'm saying. x_x

Super rushed and twisted. Very creepy seme. I had a feeling, for some reason, that that was his secret. Interesting, for sure. SPOILER BELOW + + + I'm hesitant with the tags here, because I've learned that "hermaphrodite" is actually an offensive term. I think "intersex" is the preferred usage? But that might actually apply to something else. I don't know the ins and outs. At any rate, I gave it a bit more points for including it at all, but I'd like to see this sort of thing explored beyond a fetish. It was too quick of a story for what it was about, which made it pretty clear that this was either just a kink, or meant to shock. So yeah, not amazing, but... there was some potential beneath it all, which is why I gave it a three rating rather than the two it probably deserves.

I read it cause of the chubby chick, cause I like when the hentai has fat (or at least pudgy) girls, and the husband was annoying as hell at first, but sorta interesting. It was a big old mess, though, and it had the worst conclusion. To be fair, I did skim a lot of it because it couldn't hold my interest--which is a shame, because this had a concept different from most hentai--but the woman I hated the absolute most from the very moment I saw her was the only one to not only live, but get exactly what she wanted. Ugh, I wish there was a follow up with her getting her head stomped in. Screw this story. x_x Based on the way everyone acted, they all should have died. But especially that one chick. >_<

I really love this couple. They're total perverts who are totally low key in love. This is the sweetest you can get from Harada. XD It's like her only couple with a truly healthy relationship and trauma-free lives. It's tacky making light of something so awful, but it plays on the trope that's so common in yaoi, and I like that. Very cute and sweet.
