otakulys's manga / #yaoi(378)

Haha, very cute, but way too short! I wish there were more about these guys. I love the art, especially the way the uke is drawn. I guess I'll have to give this mangaka a look.

I'm intrigued. Also, ew, they're that excited to eat hagfish? I can't stop thinking about how they use hagfish slime to make those artificial eggs you can buy in cartons. It's making me gag. That aside! I'm eager to see where this goes. I expect it to be the usual cliches, but I don't care, cause the art is nice, and that boss is hot as hell. Hopefully it'll be a pleasant journey with decent writing, pacing, and characterization.

This mangaka really has a thing for stuck up ukes being jerks then paying the price for it. But this is interesting regardless. I have mixed feelings, but I'm intrigued. I don't know if this story is gonna continue, or if this is a collection of different stories, but I'd like to see where he can go from here. ETA: So I just finished chapter five, and this gets weirder and weirder. I don't get why everyone seems to love the second couple. The whole thing is just weird and creepy. The enema, and how he's like, "You look pregnant. Let's deliver the baby!" Like wtf, I laughed but I was disturbed. And then he turned him gay by screwing him? You can't turn people gay. This isn't like being a vampire, except instead of biting to turn someone, you stick your dick in their ass. I did, however, like the third couple, despite some of its own creepy parallels. I love that age difference. And it's nice to see two lonely people comfort one another. I could have done without the weird moment where he tells the guy he sees him like his father, to which the man responds by jumping his bones. But other than that, it's cute and sweet. So far I still like her omegaverse story more, though I'm so worried about how that ones gonna end up. Plus it takes forever to update. So here I am.

Read this in Yami BL. Very sad and twisted, but kind of sweet in a messed up way. At least they finally got to touch, sort of.

The seme has good intentions, but was his personality written to come across as mentally challenged? I mean that sincerely, like I wonder if he's supposed to be kind of slow. Watching someone he cares about get raped, then running off is weird enough, but he lusts after this dude then gets confused when the guy asks him out? But maybe the uke needs a big, dumb guy like that. I guess as long as their happy. There was potential here that was wasted on weird character choices and stuff that was brushed off way too easily. Oh well.

A little too short for what it deserved, I think, so the pacing was a bit quick, but I enjoyed it. This is a sweet story about trauma and healing, and I appreciated that it was treated that way. So often yaoi glosses over things like assault as if it's nothing more than a bad day. The seme in this story was very gentle and patient. This is everything I want in this type of story. Why aren't there more rape scenarios in yaoi that end in hurt/comfort? Rape is such a horrible thing, yet it's so rarely portrayed as that in yaoi. Anyway, very sweet little story. I'm glad I stumbled upon it. Also, I loved his friends. I wish I could have seen way more of them. They're adorable. The fact that they jumped to protect the poor, mistreated uke without even really knowing him warmed my heart. It was such a nice juxtaposition between the coldness of the other group of peers.

I'm really glad his coworker showed up to set him right. He was such a pushy jerk. Poor baby uke. But I like this angle, never read a yaoi quite like this. I look forward to the next chapters.

Pretty art most of the time, but sometimes the faces went a bit ug. The part where he runs to confess or whatever made me throw up in my mouth. Typical rape to love. At least this guy apologized for it, which is rare in yaoiland. But he still shouldn't have gotten his twoo wuv in the end. There were elements that would have been cute if the rape hadn't occurred, but that tainted everything. Meh.

Aw, I wanna know what happens next. Honestly, I have mixed feelings. The first half, I loved it. The alpha actually physically harms himself to prevent himself from raping the omega. That never freaking happens. And he's nice and everything. But then it's all tsundere and typical with the omega chasing after him. We all know the alpha secretly wants him, too, but I'm sure it's gonna take five chapters and thirty misunderstandings for us to get there. So annoying. I'm leaving it at four due to misplaced optimism that it'll surprise me in other ways. I just hope it goes up from chapter one and doesn't just crumple into cliches.

Aw, very sweet. Sad and heartwarming, though there are things I wish it would have explored more. Still, I liked it, and I love hurt/comfort sort of stories. I want more of them where the seme is protective and loving. Personally, I'd like a more passionate and expressive seme early on, but all the same. I give it 4.5 for the first six chapters. If more come out, that might change.
