tsukineko's manga / #possessive seme(60)

This was quite original, as far as yaoi manga stories go. It was also quite gripping - I actually found myself anxiously turning the pages, wondering what would happen to the mcs and their relationship. I was worried for the mcs, because they were obviously rather fragile, so I feared they might either break each other or break without each other - it was a dangerous balancing act at times. I'm glad they were able to grow a little healthier as their relationship progressed. That moment with the strelitzia plant was just so beautiful, and I'll admit that I shed a tear along with the uke! Plot: 4 stars; characterisation: 4 stars; smut: 4 stars; art: 3.5 stars. I would reread this manga. My main niggle with this work, is that the mangaka seemed to be hesitating between making it a twisted and dark story of unhealthy codependency and obsession, and a story of healthy, idyllic love that heals the mcs of their various issues. I think she was going for the latter, but at times their dark sides came a little too much to the forefront. However, perhaps it is precisely due to this that there was so much tension and suspense throughout.

3.75 stars. Beautiful scene near the end, with the seme gazing adoringly at his [beautiful] uke, who is admiring the [beautiful] snow. All the characters are gorgeous, and the art is pretty. In particular, the facial expressions are well drawn. The story, though not especially original, is a nice one - sweet & hot. Everyone loves the idea of taming a bad boy, right? The characters are well written/drawn, especially hot af Takanari, whose dominance is palpable - one look/word/gesture from him suffices.

Coments section divided as to whether or not this manga is evil lol. So of course I have to read it to make up my own mind...

Kyaaa! Sweet and hot! Chapter 1 ends on such a cliffhanger, too! Can't wait to read the whole of it...
