Have more chicks in yaoi like this little sister? I hate chicks in yaoi and I hate hating them. Sadly, I know plenty of the spiteful, conniving, prejudiced, entitled type in real life. But that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of the supportive, accepting, understanding and all around best friend type too. Sure, the shitty psychos make for good plot conflict, but they should be counter-balanced with the stable, supportive type. I'd love to see a yaoi manga where the best friend (female) put the psycho stalker or entitled bitch in her place for her gay best friend! I wanna see a chick throw some shade, so cold the crazy one suffers hypothermia, for her gay best friend. LOL

Seriously, me... speechless! If you never read another yaoi novel for the whole of your life, you absolutely, positively MUST read this one. When even I can't find the right words to describe how utterly amazing a story is, that is saying something!

It was poorly executed. I suppose the mangaka had to do something to make a 10 year old "experienced", so the mother was chosen as the foil. I just think this would have been more believable for me if the characters were older. Not only would it have been believable, it might have actually been hot. As it is, it just struck me as a twist on the mother/son hentai I have come across in my adventures into that genre. Which also, by the way, does nothing for me. Mostly because I have 3 sons and I know what a prepubescent boy's penis looks like. Let's just say that it isn't anything to write home about. It is not going to make anything, except a small animal, yell out in pain or ecstasy. I say that based on seeing my own sons who, as adults and according to their girlfriends, are considered well endowed. So, assuming the boy in this story is Japanese, he is likely to be even smaller than my sons. Thus, my suspension of disbelief snapped like a rubber band.

I'm not even going to touch the moral implications since this is nothing more than "soft hentai" and meant to be questionable from the start. However, I will say that I was more disturbed by the mother raping the child than I was by the child raping the father. Maybe it has to do with me being a mother myself. The father's "quick switch" from being the responsible teacher to being the masochist dog begging to be owned was also hard to get a grip on.

Hell, who am I kidding, the only believable thing about this manga was that I was glad that it ended.

This sucked. The art is busy and sketch-like and, since it is more of a vignette than a full story, the lack of information about the seme is disconcerting. Perhaps that is intended, but it makes the seme a very unlikable character. It feels like an attempt at being Harada with a major aspect missing... they are NOT Harada. With Harada's works we get, at least, a glimpse of why the twisted characters do what they do. Be it obsession, trauma, pride, arrogance or instability, we get that glimpse. It doesn't make what the twisted character does any more right, but it, at the very least, sheds light on their reasoning - however fucked up that reasoning is. Here, we get nothing. Yes, the boy is neglected by his mother, but we never see abuse that would twist a soul to this extent. Not by his absent mother, anyway. We then see the young seme given kindness, both by the uke as a child and then we are told of the kindness the aunt offered from the seme's own mouth. We are only left with speculation as to why he is so incredibly sadistic and cruel. Speculation is not enough to make him likable and it doesn't make the story likable either. In the end, we are left with little more than the account of a victim and his rapist.

Though I saw the twist coming from a few pages away, it was still well played. The art is beautiful and the writing is smooth. Very sweet and funny.

Was an interesting turn of events. Silly, lighthearted and funny read. If you're looking for depth, look elsewhere. This is smut for smut's sake. Still, it was fun and funny and the art was well done.

It us a rare occurance that I get truly turned on by yaoi anymore. What can I say? I'm old and jaded! Don't judge me! LOL But this actually made me have the tingles and butterflies in my tummy. Well done!

So, I figured I'd be safe with 6. Yeah, I wasn't. After 6 chapters we have.... nothing. Lots of character and situation introductions, but that is it. I'm not even looking for a sex scene, just something besides another damn character. I get it, plans for a big series, but this isn't how you do it. You have to keep the readers interest and there isn't enough here to make me want to read about these characters. The lack of updates for many years also doesn't bode well for this series even making it past 6 installments. This was a waste of time to read and a waste of data uploaded to the site.

Mangaka can be this poetic and have it come off as beautifully. This is the second or third manga I have read by this mangaka and I can't help but to be impressed. The metaphorical language and ideas are so rare in this genre and even more rare when they are done this well. I was enraptured by the idea of feelings being like a fungus, spreading hyphea to all the areas of our consciousness. Touching every thought and action. The idea of secrets being like fishes slipping in and out of their owners when they are most vulnerable was, at first, confusing, but became clear when the secret/fish was shared without them noting it to each other. We share our secrets without even realizing it, with a glance or a posture, and to the right person, our secrets that slip out on their own are accepted. The story of the Kitsune was also beautifully poetic. Kou's fate was not to meet the grandfather, but to meet the grandson. Such a beautiful story of admiration and respect guiding the heart to find love.

This mangaka is an, all around, word and idea master. The depth of their stories is never overshadowed by the simplicity of the plots and the typical BL characters are transformed into deep, multi-faceted individuals that compel a reader to want to know more. I genuinely hope to see so much more of this mangaka's works in the future. She is a rare gem that will only become more breathtaking as she polishes her skills.

The story was really cute, but it felt like something my granddaughter made... she's 11. I could enjoy it as long as a didn't think too deeply. Still, it is adorable. Just not something I could find myself returning to.
