tsukineko's manga / #teacher × student(43)

Stupid plots, but hot sex scenes.

By the mangaka of 'Given'! About abandonment issues and feelings of vulnerability.

Not bad. I liked the art for the most part, except for the super girly uke in the first story. Apart from said uke's looks, I actually really liked his character - he was sassy and knew how to demand respect, like when he told off his seme for almost raping him, and said 'I told you no!'. I thought that most of the stories were relatively original, as far as fluffy one-shots go. Most of the mcs were good looking.

After this, read 'Yokujou', about the older brother and his fated pair.

The pacing was off, and it seemed as though there were scenes missing, the eyes sometimes seemed weird, the way they were drawn, and there wasn't enough character development, nor relationship development. In the first story, one minute the uke hates the seme, then they suddenly kiss, and then they jump straight to anal. Despite all the holes I just picked in this manga, I don't hate it. (Maybe because I also have a deep connection to the sky.) I just think that it had the potential to be so much more. One other little thing: Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see a translator's note when, (in the second story), the seme talks about loving 'snow'. Imho, there should have been a note about the fact that snow in Japanese is 'yuki', which is the name of the uke, so it's a play on words.

3.5 stars. Sweet, but not sexy enough. Also, it felt unfinished.
