whenever I start feeling too disappointed regarding yaoi because of all the rape, abusive relationships, rushed to almost no plots filled with sex or over sugarcoated boring shounen ai, I come back to this. sometimes I'm not even that bored/upset, I just feel like... "ahh, I miss those handsome nagisa". I love the characters, their personalities and the plot. sure, there isn't much sex, but it never disappoints. 10/10 a favorite
*spoilers* beautiful artwork. as for the stories, I really liked the first one, about the noble and the priest, and the yakuza one was funny. the rest were just ok. the pirate one bothered me a bit cause it was clearly stockholm syndrome. about the sensei and prince... typical yaoi light speed way of loving. the soldiers... everything was rushed and I dont really like when there is prostitution. the last one was ok, not memorable at all... had to go up the page to see what it was about. 6/10 mostly for the art
I hate it when there are two semes in potential cause the uke never chooses who I want (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜. But this time, really. Arthur was such an asshole, the way he did things. C'mon til when will rapists get to be loved in yaoi for fuck's sake? Ughhh
I'm gonna sound stupid but I'm a little confused by your comment. Are you saying you like Arthur even though he's a rapist or being sarcastic? I can't really tell.
I personally would have rather gone with the other guy. Rapists need to die in a fire and go to hell and be forced to relive the same pain they inflicted for years.
hi Luna! don't worry, it's possible I didn't express myself well enough ( ̄∇ ̄") I fucking hate Arthur! I'm with you, I was rooting for the other guy, who was respectful and not an arrogant forceful prick. that's why I said the uke never stays with guy I want when there is this type of triangle thingy going on. ( ̄へ ̄)and YES, thank you! I'm glad that there are others here who don't put up with the romanticized rape crap!
Okay that's what I figured you meant, but wasn't sure. I'm with you I'm just not happy when the immature character ends up getting the happy ending just by doing something mature like giving up everything. Not to mention that rape thing is shit. If this happened to anyone in real life they would not stay with that man. Ugh.
yes. and I hate the "this is fiction, that's just yaoi, you're thinking too much into it" kind of arguments. it's not ok. people not recognizing the issue in whichever fictional story just shows how society normalize abusive situations and perpetuates serious stuff like victim blaming, gaslighting and other shit. there is always someone behind the stories and that person is NOT fictional!
carl was shit he shouldnt be there in the first place
had some good laughs. the fujoshi girls were AWESOME. but I really wanted to see more of shinji and jinpei...
