Egoistic Trap
Wow, I really wanted to like this manga, I was enjoying it right up until the "sex scene". This is a pretty graphic rape scene, sure, the guy wasn't upset after, just a bit disgruntled, but there was very clear "I don't want you to do this to me, please stop" and "I don't care, I'm doing it anyway", which I cannot accept, ever. I really liked the art, so this is very disappointing.
Hatsukoi Switch
Wow, I was expecting to like this, even if it was just a bunch of fluff with no plot, but I really hated this, I wish I hadn't stayed up to read it. Eh, we live and learn. This manga was like "Oh, maybe this will be the opportunity the author takes to make it interesting- wait, nope, nothing, once again." I mean, the first story had no meat to it at all, but there was fear of rejection and then they boned and happily ever after, but with the second story? No. It had a teensy bit of conflict, but I HATED the conflict. At the end of chapter three everything seems to be fine, but this guy was a total dick, he really degraded the other character, he just threw hurtful things at him, and the opportunity for a really hot rough sex scene that could have happened with the "I want you to use more force with me"(that might have been worded SLIGHTLY differently, so shoot me), but NOTHING, we got like one panel and then we were jilted. I feel jilted. I only give 1 star ratings to manga with rape scenes, so this one got 2 stars, but I'm seriously disappointed.
Ginkaku Hakase to Marmot
I wanted to like this manga so much, but I just couldn't, I hated it, I was like "Oh, cool, sex toys and weird robots, totally up my alley" but it was just, ugh, no. Didn't work. Wouldn't recommend. This was just, no.
Fuson na Hana o Aisureba
Everyone else loved it, so I thought I'd like it, but I was so disappointed. The first story was so horrible, and the second was ok. Still chalk full of cliches. The fact that certain characters were referred to by their occupations instead of their names was pretty hilarious. Calling someone by "Old master" and "Head butler", I'm sorry, it was just really funny. And it was just really weird, and read a little fanfiction-y. Wouldn't read again.
