otakulys's manga / #yaoi(378)

You know, I really debated on my feelings for this one. The art is gorgeous, and I like the mind games and kinks, etc. I wasn't crazy about the rapey elements, even though they were very mild for yaoi. It was easier to forgive because the characters are supposed to be a little messed up, and it wasn't forceful like you usually see. It was all a little too convenient, but that's often how yaoi goes, and ultimately, the couple is supposed to be twisted, so the rough sex between them and the unhealthy obsession fits just fine. My problem is more with the many yaoi manga out there that contain similar themes but act like it's healthy and lovely. So that in mind, I really enjoyed the story. I can forgive the things that put me off, because I like the way that they fucked with each other, and I appreciated that there was a lot less beating around the bush. Plus, it's sooooo pretty. This art is amazing. I hope she draws a million more manga. I want to read it all. Oh, and piercings! I love the delinquent look, which I believe is what made me start reading this from the beginning. So sexy, ugh.

Aww, this is so cute! I love it so far. It's a nice read after a frustrating, needlessly depressing manwha I just finished. I look forward to more! Nothing quite as cute as a supposedly "scary" guy being emotional and squishy. EDIT: Finally finished it, and it was very sweet. Lots of fluff, a little angst, but generally heartwarming. I feel like some of Yoshizawa's faces were kind of odd, like sometimes he slipped into this creepy vibe that I don't think the author intended. Maybe that was just me... But I liked it very much. Very sweet little romance.

I hate rape-to-love/rape as comedy SO FUCKING MUCH, but I'm used to it by now, so I'm able to read crack comedy type things like this. If I can push that from my mind, they have a somewhat amusing dynamic. I liked when they got caught. I love when people walk in, and the position they were in was perfect. Also, I like her art. I wish this author didn't love making light of rape, but whatever. It's only up to chapter five right now, but it's not like it'll redeem itself in the remaining part. I'm sure they'll fall in love, and all of the rape and coercion will be just a funny part of their relationship. Hardy har har.

What? No! That's WAY too short! I was really getting into the couple and how cute they are. Plus there are so few m/m manga out there where one of the characters has powers that are interesting beyond being a gateway to smut. Supernatural abilities is my favorite thing ever, but it's so rarely included in the type of stuff I actually like to read or watch. I need my gay, supernatural stuff!!! This breaks my heart. Very cute, way too short.

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.

Very cute so far. I'd like a little more clarification on some of their communication, but it might be a cultural thing. It's a tiny bit confusing in one or two parts, but I'm enjoying it. Very sweet and fluffy, a nice contrast to some of the other stuff I've been reading lately. I look forward to the continuation. EDIT: Awwwwwwww, I love this! I love the way the stories connect, and I love the whole ex-boyfriends and similar tastes thing. I really love how both of the ukes became good friends. It's just so cute all around. I want to read about these guys forever. D: I really enjoyed this. It was so sweet, and it made me cry. But in a good way. Plus, all of the characters are actually gay from the start! None of that bullshit "it's okay if it's you." I wish there were more like it out there, just focusing on the lives of gay men and not making every story about guys being into girls then randomly wanting one guy.

Weird, but not as bad as I thought it would be based on some of the earlier elements. Sometimes I love this mangaka's art, and sometimes it's kinda meh. This one shifts back and forth, but it's kind of on the meh side. The plot could have been better. The ending is kind of weird and ambiguous. But at least they tried to include some intrigue. If it had been polished, I would have liked it more, but I'll give it a 3.5 for effort.

Very sad. Kind of awkward, but honestly, I didn't hate it. It made me cry a lot, partly because I cry easily but also just because of how I'm feeling lately. I feel like it could have been better, but you know, whatever. It was an interesting, if predictable, little read. Sad but at least in a way that kind of has hope.

Eh. I'm always a little weirded out when shota is treated as cute or something. But to each their own. It's fiction, and the people freaking out about it need to calm the fuck down and walk away.

I read it even though I hate sad things, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. It's sad, sure, and it'd be nice if it showed people with their second loves, having a happy ending. But I dunno. someone said 8 is the last chapter, but it says it's still going, so I guess we'll see. Chapter six made me cry. Poor baby. I also was confused a lot because the boys all look really similar. Sometimes it was clear that one of the boys was the same in different stories, but sometimes one would look the same but say or do things that suggested it was a different boy, so I don't freaking know. Sad little slice of heartache but there's still hope. They're young, so you know they'll find a guy who actually loves them someday.
