Hi, just wanna I love your comments and arguments against yaoi-rape haters. The words you used were so professional that it sent shivers down my spine ( literally). The arguments that you come forth were as straight and piercing as a sword. Moreover, I love it when you use anologies for comparison. I totally respect you and I look forward in reading your wonderful arguements/comments about both manga and the people encountered in internet. (▰˘◡˘▰) (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Wow, thank you for your kind words and lovely compliments. I am genuinely and sincerely flattered. I have strong opinions on a lot of topics and sometimes the words I use are vulgar - I have a horrible potty mouth - but I take pride in the fact that I don't voice an opinion on a subject unless I have researched it and/or experienced it myself. As for my vocabulary, I was a sad and lonely child who enjoyed reading dictionaries and encyclopedia. LOL A large and varied vocabulary also helps counterbalance my potty mouth. LOL
Thank you, again for the kindness and compliments. I hope we have many more opportunities to converse in the future, even if we disagree in our opinions. Until then, I wish you the best.
However, this has to be either an early work or some of her least thought through. The characters are unlikable, which is so vastly different from her other works. Even Atsushi from King and Prince is not as annoying as the ass in the last story and Atsushi is a tsundere little prick, but he eventually shows redeemable characteristics. The characters from the first story are both easily manipulated and the antagonist has the foresight of a bat. What high school play has a "producer" and what high school student - aside from actual professionals - has a manager? He is a kid for shit's sake! A sophomore, he's 15 or 16 tops. This is another area that I felt wasn't thought through well, since being sexually frustrated and depressed would have had the opposite effect on a 16 year old. They don't have impulse control like an adult yet and raging hormones at that age would have made depression that much worse. That's not to say that a 16 year old can't behave maturely, but they are still more sensitive emotionally. The seme had the reaction of a college aged, or older, person. It made the character less believable. It was just poorly written and/or not thought through. As for the last story, who treats their lover like this and expects the lover to stick around for the abuse? Moreover, who would stick around after that kind of abuse and intentional miscommunication? To make matters worse, the sex, across the board in both stories, was as hot as a corpse. Fujisaki Kou is one of the few mangaka who can write and draw sex scenes that genuinely turn me on. Yet, in this hot mess of a manga, the sex between fish would have been more arousing. (Fish don't have sex, the female lays the eggs and the male then comes by and fertilizes them.) So, yeah, fish sex would have been hotter. I can only imagine this had to be an early work or sensei had an editor that was not letting her spread her wings. Comparing this to King and Prince or any of the Happy Yarou Wedding series just can't be done. This pales so badly in comparison.
