tsukineko's manga / #mature(130)

I want to read this, mainly for the pet sitter one that was animated.

Chapter 3 is an omake of 1 of the stories in 'Xy'.

After this, read 'Show ga Hanetara Aimashou'.

Apparently, this is 90% smut... bring it on lol!

OMG I so badly want to read this!!! After this, read the prequel 'I: Episode 0'.

2.5 stars. Chapter 2 was relatively original, plus they both had hot bara bodies; chapter 6 was sweet and relatively well written, (compared to the others in this compilation I mean); chapter 7 was pretty hot, as well as relatable for me, (and I'll be rereading it!); the others were all badly written, unengaging, and just generally crap. If I were to rate this manga based only on the last 2 stories, (ch. 6 + 7), I'd give it 3.5 stars.

3.5 stars. I like the fact that the m is NOT someone who was damaged by some past trauma - he explains that he's just naturally that way inclined. The BDSM aspect of the relationship, at certain points crosses the line into abuse, because they're noobs and are not on the same page. (Please, is it so hard to communicate?! lol) the S/Dom can't control his emotions, and begins to inflict harm out of anger and frustration. It's an interesting and sensitive portrayal of what can go wrong if BDSM is not practised correctly. It was interesting, and it's the first manga I've come across that shows BDSM from this angle. Still, I found it somehow lacking, though I can't put my finger on why. Also, I don't particularly like the sub - why does he have to be such a gloomy and weird character?
