otakulys's manga / #yaoi(378)

Need to re-read, but I also don't want to since it may never be finished. Blah. I love this mangaka, and it breaks my heart every time I think of what happened. I hope someday she comes back.

I like the mangaka, but this story was too abrupt and disjointed. Three stars just because the art is pretty. Her plots are very similar in every story so far, but whatever. I like her characters and designs.

Harada is the master of subtly manipulative and evil characters. The ending was a bit more spelled out than most of her stuff, though. I feel like readers knew what the real situation was before the reveal, so it didn't need to be so overt. Still, creepy-crazy face is always off-putting in a fun way, haha.

Kinda weird, but pretty art. I don't like DJs really, but that seems to be the bulk of Togainu no Chi stuff out there, so it works.

Wait, so was it a fantasy or not? A little confused, but whatevz. I liked elements of the concept, but it was kind of boring and typical otherwise. The artist could have done so much more with it.

Haha, very bizarre. Harada's stuff tends to be twisted as fuck or very bizarre, sometimes both. When it isn't soul-crushing it's... well... this.

Haha, aww, Harada's only healthy couple. XD Well, minus that one cute story with the boys who were into each other after high school or whatever. But I knew as soon as I realized who they were that it could only end one way. They're super kinky and adorable.

Welp, this was last updated five years ago, so I'm likely never going to get to read the ending, but its predictable enough for me to guess how it goes. This isn't a horrible manga, and it isn't fantastic, either. I like the concept, but it was pretty confusing throughout, didn't have the same impact.

2.5 stars based on just the first story, but I'm waiting to see if more comes out. I think I've read this one before. It's familiar, but then, a lot of these stories are similar. I'm not a fan of rape being excused in any way, but it's a pretty common theme. If the author goes on to show that she meant for the first story to be as fucked up as it is and hadn't intended redemption in the seme's explanation, that'd be great. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Aw, very sweet so far. His cute little face when he's so proud of that C because he knows he worked his hardest. I just want to squeeze him to death. Honestly, I'm pretty over the "girl I was in love with was actually a boy" thing, but I like the characters enough to see past that. They're both complex and original, which counters out the cliche a bit. I'm looking forward to the following chapters.
