By My Side
I just LOVE this author! Facial expression, the angst, the feelings, love it! The art is beautiful and the characters likeable. Somehow liked the original version (non Tankoubon) better (why would they cut out such a beautiful seme-on-uke-bj?) but they are still pretty similar. 5 nice (not official version), (6.1 both) // x, (6.1 both)
If You Do Not Obey Me
The seme is despicable! Rapes, humiliates and imprisons the uke. At least the uke is initially refreshingly aware of how bad it is and tries to stand up for himself. I think I would have liked the story a lot more if they had kept that tone and he either got away completely or if the seme had a proper redemption. The ending feels very rushed however, the seme gets better but doesn't seem to truly have changed or made up for his wrongdoings and the uke's feelings towards the seme seem to change almost over night. There are also other very loose ends, the most apparent one being what happened to my favourite character (you who've read it will know what I mean). It feels like the author had a lot more planned for this story but for some reason had to quickly wrap it up.
