tsukineko's manga / #dark(113)

Read this after 'Tokyo Babylon', for a continuation of Subaru and Seishirous' story.

This is marked as completed, but it's actually still ongoing.

Apparently, this involves the same struggles as in 'Yoru wa Tomodachi'. Edit: Just read this, and yes indeed, the seme gets pulled into the uke's kink, when it's not his natural inclination, and starts to lose control of himself as a result. I much preferred this to YwT, though. I found this manga beautiful. The art was simple, yet wonderfully evocative, and was a perfect match for the dark and deep subject matter. 4.5 stars.

I've read the first 5 chapters. The art is ugly, but the stories are really good - original, interesting and poignant! Characterisation is another strong point. In fact, I became attached to several of the characters and would love to read more about them. I especially love the ukes in here - stereotypically blond and babyfaced, but incredibly strong, mature, and the last one is even intelligent! A rare breed indeed! There's good character development, too, as characters often learn important life lessons, helped along by their partners. I'm thoroughly enjoying this manga, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest. I would love for this mangaka to write more! Ideally, she'd write a longer story, and team up with someone else to do the art.

Says it's ongoing, but it seems pretty complete as a stand alone oneshot. Perhaps it's supposed to be a compilation? If so, I've read only the first chapter.

Things were 'resolved' too quickly, and whilst I'm glad that that bastard got his comeuppance, and that they managed to free themselves from him and take back control of their lives, I'd have rather they found a different way, that didn't drag them down to his level.
