tsukineko's manga / #Romance(1413)

Spin-off of 'Minori no Te'.

Apparently, there's the usual yaoi rape to love trope, but they spend a long time resolving it, so it should be interesting to see how they do that.

Next, read the dj of this, by the same mangaka.

The main couple are so adorbs! I often find cutesy uke annoying, but not Rintarou: he perfectly complements Kaede, and the 2 so obviously cherish each other. Kaede is just yum! - a sexy, slightly sadistic seme, who adores his uke to an excessive extent! I found the other stories too short for any real character development, and they just got in the way of the main story imho. Although very well drawn and thoroughly enjoyable to read, I found this manga rather cliché and predictable. It was also unfortunate that I read this straight after 'Ten Count', which is truly excellent and is one of the rare manga that I unreservedly rate 5 whole stars. 'Katekyo' is just not in the same league imho, thus the 4 stars. Read also 'Koitomo!?', a spin-off about one of the other featured couples.

Low quality scans. Prequel to 'Kusari ni Kiss'.
