tsukineko's manga / #dubcon(12)

Ooops, I did it again, I read something 'ongoing'! So, I've read up to and including chapter 8.5. It's ok but nothing earth shattering imho. The only memorable part was the whole biting thing - because it was pivotal to their story, but mainly because it was hella erotic! (But that's probably largely due to my biting kink lol.) After this, read the sequel, 'Kurui Naka no wa Boku no Ban Beta'.

3.5 stars. Not sure what to say about this... Well I guess the BDSM was HALF done right - I've seen both more and less accurately portrayed. That aside, it was a relatively entertaining read.

Unfortunately, forever incomplete - RIP Tohjoh Asami! I feel a bit conflicted about this one, as I found it simultaneously hot/disturbing/sad. As it's incomplete, we'll never know where sensei was taking this, so it's not clear what the mc is feeling. His words are a little ambiguous, but when he says that he wants to 'end it all', it could be interpreted as him being suicidal. Even if he is suicidal, it's also unclear whether it's because he's being raped by his bro, or whether he's a willing participant but he feels incredibly guilty about being incestuous. As we're neither in the character's mind nor in the mangaka's mind, we don't know for certain. What I can say for sure, is that, (if we imagine that the uke was a willing participant), the BDSM was pretty hot! (Well I always find Tohjoh Asami's smut hot, whether vanilla or kinky.) 4 stars for the smut, the art, and the fact that it brought out all sorts of conflicting emotions and made me think, (even if I'm not sure that that was intentional on the mangaka's part).

Meh. Parts of it were pretty hot, but most of it was just silly and annoying - not my type of humour, I guess.

Nicely drawn, but really poor and cliché story. The dialogue was incredibly stilted, too. I love incest yaoi, but this one was pretty mediocre. It's all the more disappointing because Minase Sensei can do much better than this!

Read for the smut and the seke...
