tsukineko's manga / #healed through love(12)

Fuck that was beautiful!!

Spin-off of 'Minori no Te'.

The seme's younger brother is the main character in "Mitasareru Kuchibiru".

This seems to be by a Korean, but looks more like a manga, as the pages are read from right to left. Maybe it was scanned from a version published in Japan? Well I'm tagging it as a manhwa anyway. I liked it. Maybe 3.75 stars? The premise was interesting, the characters were well fleshed out considering the length, suspense was nicely built and maintained, and the art was beautiful. Why, then, do I hesitate to give it 4 full stars? Not sure. For me it's just lacking that special something. I still really like this manga - I just don't love it.

This wasn't half bad, until Chris's secret was revealed and it all became sickly sweet and unrealistic - what a shame! There's one line in this that I love, though: 'I am your trigger. The bullet is within you. I will release you from him.' (ch.3, p7) - In fact, I like that whole scene a lot.

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...

This is one of my absolute fave yaoi manga! Kurose is a near perfect fictional embodiment of my rl ideal type of partner - a caring yet sadistic Dom - yum! And he looks hot too ofc! The story is beautifully written and drawn, and contains plenty of Hot h scenes. The characters are likeable and intriguing, and I love that they're both able to heal each other through their love. The story is actually of some personal significance to me, though I won't go into detail here. So many reasons to like this... When I finished reading it, I almost cried.
