3.5, good prompts but execution is meh, it feels jumpy like the scenes suddenly cut to another and the dialogues and plot skip some parts. I couldn't connect with the characters and their drives, I only read the first pairing and skimmed through the rest, not for me.
nothing particularly wrong with it, just feels jumpy plot-wise, like the author wanted to create drama at some points but then opt not to. I couldn't care much for the characters nor their dynamic, altho they were drawn beautifully.
another properly done tsundere uke with good enough reason why he acts like that instead of just making him a jerk to the seme for no reason. Also, that sister of his is a scum, I like the seme's character the most, the adopted child grew up to be a tad creepy towards the uke considering he's his uncle and foster father, but I guess it's fine since he got himself a bf in the end.
I'm sorry I meant to like the comment but I accidently pressed dislike and mangago won't make me change it
And I agree with you, the sister is a piece of crap, she expects the child to choose her when she basiclly abondoned him for whatever reason and gave him to Hisui whose barely out of highschool and tight on money?
I get what the author was trying to pull, I really do, and the characters are fine enough. But the pacing for this work was just out of whack for me and the development felt skippy that I found it lukewarm in the end. Such a shame coz it's rare to find a sub top in yaoi that isn't also an overwhelming puppy seme type like this one.
Literally a pair of idiot couple, but unlike others with this dynamic where the couple has the same air-headed personality which explains them being oblivious, these two are actually polar opposites- the uke is a tsundere and the seme is a puppy type, but they're still both idiots in their own rights and could've prevented years of heartache by simply communicating properly. Very cute though and I like the drama, wasn't too angsty for me, also the character design from the couple in their 20s, to 30s, then 40s was just superb.
everyone gets their happy ending in this one and everyone is gay, not cringy tho and it's a cute read.

Basically it's two sets of twins - one set of brothers are the tops, and the other set the bottoms, both are paired with each other lol.
Wow, just wow. Scifi, fantasy, action, romance that doesn't feel forced, power couples all in one. Plot is fantastic, art is fantastic, everything went so well together, the only fault that I can find is that it's too short, I feel like the author wanted to put more and they could've definitely expanded but then got tired and settled for shorter chapters which is why the last few ones felt rushed and everything was just resolved by the other side characters. I dunno why, but it's still good, didn't feel like too much of a deus ex machina, probs due to the background building in the earlier chaps so the plot progression and resolution still makes sense. All in all, this work is really an anti-thesis to those webcomics with very slow pacing, this one's very quick and efficient in its resolutions, it's tagged as Shounen Ai, but there's one graphic seggz scene between the main couple, only once though, just a heads up for those who has aversion to smut for some reason.
They are sooo cute! The pacing and couple dynamic reminds me of Honto Yajuu with both the uke and seme are madly in love with each other, except the seme in this one is more normal and not lowkey an ikemen, the progression is also episodic and centers on the slice of life concept like HY. Also, I read some complain about the art style but I absolutely love it, yes it's simple but the expressions and gestures were so animated I'm practically watching the entire work move on its own, I'll take that anyday over pretty artstyle but everyone is so stiff and barely shows any expression. Anyway, I really enjoyed this, I hope the author continues this in the future.
The horror tag stands true, this is straight up psychological with explicit rape scenes. Interesting though and I really like the artstyle.

The perpetrator/Sheep's Mask (top) is some guy who was regularly raped while being enlisted in the army simply coz he's chubs and has boobs while also being easy to take advantage due to his speech impediment (he stutters).
Years later after being discharged he meets his superior (bottom) and kidnaps him, then rapes, as well as assaults him. It's basically a revenge plot, coz not only was the sergeant (superior) revealed to be the first one to rape him (not shown, but implied via the top's monologue), he actively turned a blind eye to what's happening, like legit he saw the rape happening right in front of his freaking eyes and all he did was stare at SM before turning his back; eventho he had the power to do something, even just acknowledging it, he chose to do nothing because he prioritized the "order" of their unit or some crap like that.
Anyway, as mentioned in this topic's title, this isn't a BL, so even when they have seggz over and over again nothing romantic ever came of it, it's not romanticized and no stockholm syndrome developed during the mc's captivity (I actually prefer this), he did try his best to escape as much as he can, but as luck would have it, all his attempts failed. Then suddenly one day, he became obedient towards SM, which makes SM incredibly anxious and guilty because the sergeant seems to be treating him nicely, this overwhelms him so much that he decides to just kill the sergeant since that was originally his plan.
As SM was about to enact his plan, the sergeant does a surprise attack on him, they wrestle for a while until the sergeant gets hold of a knife and stabs SM, then he frantically leaves to escape, asking help from anyone before blacking out.
The next thing we see is him preparing to get to work, trying to live a normal life after the hell that he went through, but just as he was about to go out, psyche! SM shows up like some weed outta nowhere, then mc is back in the room where he was kept captive with SM coming onto him, he tries to fight back saying SM is dead, and he actually is.
It's eventually revealed that the sergeant's mental health broke during the ordeal, he never got out of the hospital to live a normal life, he's being detained in some psych ward, even worse, tho SM is gone, the guy still lingers in his mind, haunting him for god knows how long.
And that's the end to this horrorfest.
The uke is so unhinged, it's almost scary lol. Defo a yandere in the making. With that last chapter, the title makes sense and there's potential for a good plot too, but if we're basing just from the work as is, the story is basically nonexistent, good spicy scenes tho.
