tsukineko's manga / #'straight' seme(12)

3.5 stars. That was sweet.

That was freaking ADORABLE! The pacing was perfect, and the art beautiful.

Apparently, this is excellent, and EXTREMELY realistic. Don't be put off by the boring-sounding plot.

3.5 stars. I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would! I love the uke! There's just one part that seriously pissed me off: When the seme says that he only loves the uke, but that 'all other gays are disgusting'!!!! Seriously, if someone told me that they love me but that they find my sexuality disgusting, I would a) feel deeply hurt; b) realise that they don't truly love me if they hate my sexuality, which is part of who I am; c) I think I'd fall out of love with them and think that THEY'RE the disgusting one! I can't deny that I was still rooting for this couple, though lol. Btw, the short story with the other couple is really sweet.

When will this freaking be completed?! I only looked at one page and it wasn't even h stuff, but it was pretty hot! Going by the comments, the h is hella hot... Edit: Just couldn't resist and went and 'sampled' the h stuff... Well it was indeed SMOKIN'! Kyaaa! Please update soon!

After this, read the sequel 'Sleeping Man Loving Man'

Aggghhh! Why did I give in to temptation and read this even though it's incomplete?!?! That 3rd chapter ends on such a horrible cliffhanger! Well thankfully it shouldn't be too long of a wait, according to the comments. It's a thoroughly enjoyable read: pretty art; good looking and endearing characters; an entertaining and engaging storyline; very well paced so as to keep up the tension and suspense; and brimming with an exquisite tenderness that will surely heal our poor, world-weary uke, (and maybe certain readers). Oh yeah, and gotta love those cute, cat-like dogs, (or are they foxes or something?) I like the fact that the plot and characters feel relatively realistic, (although obviously a highly romanticised version of reality, lol). It manages to be dramatic without becoming MELOdramatic, and it's heartwarming and sweet, but not fluffy nor diabetes inducing. It's not a particularly deep nor thought-provoking manga, so I can't rate it above 4 stars, but it's certainly high quality light entertainment. The h scenes are too short, but lovely, and certain parts, (especially that back kissing scene!), are so tender as to be not only erotic, but quite moving. Apparently, this is a spin-off of a couple of other manga - 'XXX Allergy', and 'Secret XXX', about the mcs' brothers! - so I'm going to read those whilst waiting for this one to update...
