Yeah I was rereading this and actually the relationship wasn't so unhealthy as it first appeared-- they had safewords, Masumi did take care of Tobita after working him over, and Tobita was very honest about how he wanted what he wanted and that it wasn't coming from a bad childhood or whatever. Definitely a different situation than I'm used to reading and I liked it because of that.
Beautifully said. This was the second best BDSM yaoi I've read. For precisely the reasons you mention. And second best is a huge compliment... until now there was only one good BDSM yaoi.
wh-which one????? ヾ(☆▽☆)
Sorry about that. Hoshi no Yukata.
Sorry about that... Hoshi no Yukata. Best depiction of BDSM ever. The detail is top notch and the realism is spot on. Some of the "outfits" are extreme - we don't all get dolled up in our finest gear to go shopping - but otherwise, it's incredibly accurate. The relationships that are formed, the trust that is built, the novices who play cluelessly... all spot on.
omg I've been avoiding it since forever because all the dudes look like chicks with a penis, basically futanari's, and the one manga I read from her had the frail looking futanari fist the other one, which traumatized my eyes since I'm pretty sure I was way too young to witness a girl with a penis put her whole hand inside another girl's with a penis butthole.
Damnit I should have overcome my fear of fisting scenes involving frail phallus-bearing maidens by now.. >__> I will reflect and come back with a better image.
thanks for the rapid reply (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
My pleasure. Sorry you had such a traumatic experience. That would have blinded me for a while too! LOL Be warned, there is blood, piercing, and real torture. Some of the sadists are severe.... like scary to even a masochist like me. But the depictions in general are really well researched. I highly recommend it if you are a hentai like me. LOL
Did you read Partners? I think that it's also a good BDSM manga. I dunno how but I can feel their love.
Agree with both of u. Can u guys recommend such other works?
A lot of people think that having masochistic tendencies or any kind of fetish has to do with you being a victim, you being in a pitiful position at some point of your life, and although it is true for a lot of cases (usually the more extreme ones), it doesn't always work like that, it can be very minor details from our lives that make you take a different turn, and I was glad that this was mainly about two people with different tastes struggling with it and not about how "pitiful" the uke was for having these tendencies. I was really moved by this, Ido Gihou is a great mangaka.
