Unsuccessful Romance

Complete | NISHIDA Higashi | 2000 released

This was pretty good! I had to read it a second time to be sure I understood it though.

Yome Ni Konai Ka

Complete | Araya Miki | 2006 released

Relatively well drawn, light comic relief, although it's a little too silly and melodramatic for my taste. Also, I had to continuously remind myself that 'it's yaoi, just go with it', in order to accept, amongst other things, the weird and insulting notion that one of the men has to be the 'wife'. Additionally, it was impossible to really 'feel the love' between the mcs, as I need to be able to do, given that their relationships were based on ridiculous premises and developed faster than you can say 'what the fuck?!'. Well, I guess this manga had at least a little entertainment value - especially that golden scene in which the strict mother walks in on them *ahem* performing their marital duties lol! I wouldn't reread this, though. The only thing it has going for it is comedy, and it's not my type of comedy, unfortunately.
