Dreamprisoner's manga / #MIZUKAMI Shin(2)

I absolutely adore Mizukami shin, it's always a delight to read her yaoi. Especially dear to my heart are her military manga, this is no different. To start with, the main story is very enjoyable, except for my developing a strong dislike for his two brother/fangirls who were tied to his hip, however I think it might have done better standing alone, since after I read Godo's story, all my attention was given to that, which was so funny, and enjoyable to read. The ending had me in tears. I hope that perhaps she returns to this story, and shows Godo's future, though its implied he finds a replacement in the great grandson? (Excuse me if I'm wrong). I'd love to see a separate sequel for that. I'll admit I avoided this manga for a while because of the 'tragedy' label. I think it was worth reading for the first story, which isn't a tragedy, and what happens with Godo was honestly worth enduring for his story.

This is by far my favourite of all Misukami shin's work, and my favourite manga, ever, of all of them. There was so much spice in this story, and it wasn't rushed in my opinion. Onizuka was absolutely irresistible and the love/hate relationship with the main character was the funniest thing I've ever seen, especially their competitiveness. It's such a breath of fresh air to see an uke who is intelligent, driven and somewhat confident, instead of the usual meek/could-be-replaced-by-a-doll type. I'm a sucker for historical military yaoi like this, I apologise for my squeak, but the semes just look so delicious in uniform! Reading Mizukami shin's manga often makes me feel like some perverted aunt, because man -Fans myself excessively.- Mainly I'm thankful that this yaoi is so eventful, I have to admit I'm resentful towards mellow and typical romances, I need some chaos to keep me interested, and this definitely had that. To go off on a tangent, the initial rape scene was so erotic, especially the dark atmosphere that Mizukami shin created for it, really made it immersive and so dramatic, ah~! I'll stop before I work myself into a fit.
