mangasaeki's manga / #Beautiful Art(175)

Sorry, I had to stop reading half way because the bad translation was just too much. My brain was working overtime attempting to decipher what exactly was going on and what things meant. Don't get me wrong, I'm always grateful that people are willing to go out of their way to translate manga, they're basically godsends. However, there's a cut off point for translation. It has to at least make sense. Spellings, and grammar doesn't always matter but if I can't tell what the fuck is going on, or actually understand what's written, then I may as well be 'reading' the raws. Aside from that, the plot in this manga had SO much wasted potential. The entire time it was lackluster, horny-only (maybe that's what you're looking for [aka just yaoi] but I'm not, especially in fantasy), and honestly, boring. It was rushed as hell and the characters were super fucking annoying. The mangaka added a lot of traits that they really could've played up on, but were left as empty, useless scenes to 'push the plot' along. If I could give this manga a zero, I really would. I'm sorry if that upsets you. The only thing I actually enjoyed about this manga was the art. It was exceptionally beautiful.

Tbh, I don't care for the interracial story, but man did i really like the testu and kazuki story.

Honestly, Matsumi is kind of annoying and super selfish, but I enjoyed Koki a lot. Very dog-like but not in cringe type of way, just very enthusiastic. The random oneshot had great potential but I felt like it should've been longer so it would feel a little less rushed. Fun read overall.

Ok, I fucking hated this. I'm sorry, but I hate the dynamic. The uke is just missing something in his personality. Maybe a brain? idk. I hateeeeeee the seme. He's rapey af, annoying and just gross overall. The translation gets spotty in places and it make it difficult to actually understand what it being said between the characters at times which is a mild annoyance, but it pales in comparison to how stupid this plot it. The art is stunning but I can't get past how shitty the seme is. The scene where the seme puts ointment on the uke is by far the cringiest fucking thing I've read in a while. He was sexually assaulted and you fuck him anyway like a pervert? Ew. Not only that, but he constantly belittles, shames and chides the uke for no fucking reason, whatsoever. Also, I'm not sure if it's the spotty translation but the erotica that he writes is actually written like trash. On top of all of this, he forces uke into sex pretty much all of the time, too... just why? I'm not sure why there's a plot at all, this would've been fine as just yaoi, nothing more, but the mangaka or editor, for whatever reason, felt this needed more than it did. I'm disappointed to say the least. Sorry to anyone if they liked it, I just plainly did not :/

I seriously hated the actual predator oneshot. Hella uncomf, but the rest was okay. I didn't really like the scummy rental guy either... Read with caution

I really don't go for teacherxstudent, but this plot (second story) was done rather tastefully and the age gap wasn't too big. Still slightly uncomf, but cute either way. Of course, the rest of it was entertaining and fun to read for mostly smut.
