otakulys's manga / #yaoi(378)

Aw, how pretty and perfect! Can't wait for more. I wish more stories would just get the flustered uncertainty out of the way early on. I'm in it for the established relationships, damn it. Assuming this isn't just one story in an anthology, which would suck. Fingers crossed, either way. I love how he sits there, agonizing and certain that he's just gonna tell the guy that he's cutting off contact, then the second he sees him he's frantically confessing. XD EDIT: Ah, okay, so chapter two is a continuation, just with a different couple. This salon is teeming with gay! Also, why does he refer to the guy's brother as "she?" I thought maybe it was a language thing, and the dude was using a neutral pronoun, but it was never addressed, so I have no idea. Also, all of her couples look the same with slight variations, which threw me off. I remember the main guy in this one had a cameo in the first one, and I was confused because he looked so much like the other guy. EDIT CHAP 3: And that explains why there's so much gay. I appreciate that someone continued the translation, but it's a shame that it's so off. Still, nice of them to try. Here's hoping we get some continuations with the first couple soon.

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.

Very unusual, detailed art, and it's definitely pretty. The story itself leaves something to be desired. It's okay so far, I suppose, but I was honestly kind of uncomfortable when the guy was watching in the bathroom. Just not my kink, I guess. To each their own! My problem is that I'm not a fan of "straight guys going gay," or "it's okay if it's you," so I'm already kind of wary. I'll stick around and see what happens, though.

Mixed feelings, but I'm really intrigued. I like this one more than the other one by her that I've started reading. I'm curious as to how this will unfold. It isn't exactly shocking or surprising, but I still find it interesting enough to wonder what direction it'll take. Such pretty boys. Also, he totally saved that other boy from getting raped, but they aren't talking about that. Does that mean he didn't give a crap? Rude. EDIT: Okay, chapter four was kind of... odd. The uke took this crap up a notch. Is he some kind of weird virgin? I just assumed he had a sexual relationship with his sensei, but I guess it's more like he's just a possession. It creeped me out a lot when he started acting like a child throwing a tantrum, though. It just really reinforced the concept that this guy is mentally eight years old. He's naive and awkward, and being beautiful doesn't really make up for how much that gets to me. At any rate, did he scratch the tattoo? That's a lot of blood, if that's all it was. Though to be fair, I've never had a back tattoo, so maybe the skin was already just very overextended and thin.

Interesting start, though I'm hoping there's more involving what the uke has been through. I'm worried that it'll just be glossed over in the name of buttsex. Also don't like straight guy going gay for one dude, but whatever. It's so damn common. x_x Anyway, I'm hanging on to see what happens. This is chapter... two? I think?

Kind of weird, kind of awkward, touch of sexism, but it's interesting. Definitely haven't read a yaoi quite like it, haha. I guess we'll see how it unfolds.

What the... Okay, I know I've read the first story elsewhere, but I don't remember it having that ending. I also don't entirely get what it was talking about. Is the other guy a doppelganger? Is he a triplet? Is he a manifestation of the other half of one of the brothers? Either way, so weird and random. It had potential, but it was just too brief and all over the place. I have no problem with dark, gory, or disturbing, but that was just weird. The second story was weird and kind of gross. There was some serious dissonance between the two, like they weren't done by the same person. Is that the case? I need to look. Anyway, this is a fucked up collection, and I'm afraid of what to expect if more stories beyond the two get uploaded. What even...

Yuck. Gross art, gross dudes, gross actions. And he gets away with it. It's a fetish thing, so this is made for a very specific audience. I hope they find it, because I certainly was not the core demographic for this one.

Stories like this really frustrate me, because there's so much potential, and it's all thrown away for some simple rape to love. I was really hoping the second story would just end after the first part, focusing on the messed up relationship they had that would mean they could never be together. It's better than what it was, and seeing the uke drop to his knees like that really grossed me out after what that jerk did to him. Being "in love" doesn't give you a free pass to hurt someone. The first story, I found the uke interesting but the seme boring. However, the art is so pretty, and I did enjoy elements of both stories, even if the way they wrapped up annoyed me, so I gave it four stars instead of the two it would probably get based on those endings alone. Also, I love the guy painting the house, totally like, "Ah, I see you're in chains. That's nice."

...Did this story get lost? I feel like this is supposed to be connected to something, but it's labeled as a oneshot? I think it's something wonky with the website. Stuff like this happens all the time.
