otakulys's manga / #yaoi(378)

It might be the translation in part, but this manga was just a total mess. It was all over the place and abrupt, full of a toxic relationship that couldn't be fixed by any means, let alone the minor ones the uke puts into play. But whatever. The masochist story was also messy but it was ultimately quite cute. If it hadn't been so all over the place, I think I would have really liked it. The guy being so concerned and loving over his guy while also being a sexual sadist was great. He was so sweet and loving, but totally kinky. It's nice that they work for each other like that. It's clear this mangaka has some pretty overt fetishes, especially with pain during sex. But I just couldn't get past the crazy plot and kind of confusing story. Again, I think that was mostly the translation, but I can tell things wouldn't have changed all that much if it were polished up.

I didn't like BJ Alex but somehow the art here is better or something. It's a vile plot with an awful top, but I'm intrigued regardless. Sometimes we need a little toxicity to indulge in. I both like it and hate it, because the bottom is so freaking powerless, and I hate that he's stuck the way that he is. But I do look forward to things getting more complex as the story progresses. EDIT: Okay, as horrible as the top is, I'm realizing what I truly hate is how pathetic the bottom is. He's so freaking stupid and annoying. You're not cute, you dumbass. It's so irritating when he's all touched and desperately thanking this dude for buying him more. I hate that dynamic, the bottom that just sees good in everyone and is constantly Susie Sunshine. It's so irritating, like this guy is brutalizing you, but you're doing some weird mental gymnastics to convince yourself he's also being kind to you. It's just gross. It would make more sense if the bottom were suspicious, cautious, and trying to find a way out of this. Instead, he's like, "Well, time to look on the bright side!" like some sort of moron.

Only one chapter translated, unfortunately. I want to know what the rest says, but it's all so sad anyway. The meta, dark humor of it has me intrigued. I already know how it ends, but I'd like to know more about what's happening in the meantime. That final shot is so damn abrupt though, and... I kind of like that the bully top gets to lose something in such an awful way. Maybe you shouldn't have treated him so badly.

Beautiful art, but it was just a rape fetish story. It had the humiliation and the mind break and everything. Just not for me. It was weird when it cut to the next shot and the kid is just dead. We didn't even get to see the fallout of that, but suddenly the captain is just horny for cock. I don't get the mind break kink.

Damn, I hate that this is a oneshot. I wanna see more high-femme boys as main characters. What a strange story, but I wish we could see more of it and how it unfolds. I also really wanted to see him bang them both. x_x Oh well. It hurts how rarely we get more Harada. I've read it all, but the days of constant updates seem to have passed.

Interesting so far. Someone posted something that makes me think a lot more of this has been translated already, but for whatever reason only one chapter has been uploaded here, even with two different versions on the site. I hope someone helps him, though. I hate stories where they end up with their captor and just get full on stockholm syndrome or something. That's typically how it goes. I hope he falls for someone else who actually treats him well. But I guess we'll see.

I dunno. It is what it is. Another rapey manwha with guys who are hot most of the time but sometimes have tree-trunk necks. It's not quiiiiite as toxic as Jinx, and as long as this bottom isn't like that miserable little loser, Doctor Dan, I may be able to stick around for the pretty art. Even though the things he was thinking during sex were so cringey. I hate how people love to infantilize the "receiving" partner. EDIT: Stop calling it your "tummy." You're a grown fucking man. Dear lord. The vibe of this is already off-putting, obviously, but the fact that he seems mentally challenged or something, like an adult with the mind of a child, just makes it all the more fucked up.

Everyone in this story sucks. The end. I initially thought Yeonho was just really stupid, but it turns out he's nosy, hypocritical, and really stupid. Like, mind your own business, bitch. I don't know why I'm still reading this. Maybe because the twisted nature of a father and son fighting over the same powerless pretty boy is appealing to me in a masochistic sort of way. I wish I could get something like this more often only, you know, written well.

With all of the rinse-and-repeat, boring, rapey webtoon crap that's been saturating the market, this is a refreshing little taste of simple and sweet high school romance. I actually was super over it for a long time because ALL yaoi/shounen ai was high school romance, and it was all the freaking same. Lately I've been craving it again, but a very specific kind, and it's been tricky. I'm just a little over the excessive smut in everything else. I want a good story, not two minutes of an awful, pushy top, then 3000 pages of a dick stretching out an asshole while the other person whimpers and says "stop" over and over, then they live happily ever after. Like wtf. Anyway, that has nothing to do with this, I'm just annoyed. I hope this ends up being as sweet as it started. Just a simple story, back to the basics.
