Sumire's manga / #mature(31)

A girl manipulates an unhappily married boss into fulfilling her needs at the expense of all. Dramatic, twisted, sexy, sad and aggravating in turns. Worth reading. Some good comedic notes.

What I like about these stories is the reality of the characters, the closeted businessman, his resentful lover, the know-it-all physician, the self-loathing athlete, the effeminate 'wife' - they love, they're jealous of each other, they have secrets and insecurities. I would have like to have been able to read more of their backstories. A most mature group of tales. Only the 'lightsaber dick' censorship is annoying.

A messy funny romp.

I can feel the drama building on this one. I'm sure there'll be some rape trope. the question is who will Yuuto end up with? No spoilers, please.

Story line was incoherent - And I wasn't sure why the seme rapes the uke to begin with, other than he's a dick who thinks with his dick...but that's Yaoi logic for you, nothing makes sense. Erotic and sexy sex scenes.

Complex, and somewhat non-linear story about three musicians, a conductor, a pianist who left competitive playing to play in bars, and a Lord who is psychologically damaged who is a brilliant pianist, but who now fucks his way around (quite literally) as a stage manager. Kenzo and Lorenzo's relationship is complex, and shadowed. I think the storyline could have been tighter, it feels disjointed at times. It's never really explained why Lorenzo can only play when he's on drugs, or why he feels the need to sell himself, other than his more recent desire to promote Kenzo. Lorenzo's penchant for weird costumes to 'hide' himself are just distracting and don't really add to his background story.
