pinkstarred's manga / #Historical(16)

Original story, interesting world and a plot that takes its time building relationships. A good read.

A wonderful Showa era historical drama, sexy, intriguing and romantic. Childhood friends were seperated during the war to be finnaly reunited four years later and need to figure out what they are to eachother. Beautiful.

Kya! It's so freakin adorable. (￣▽￣) Sooo FLUFFY! These two are just huge cinnamon rolls watching them fall for eachother is the icing.

Quite somber but touching, a love that lasts a life time that braved cruel separation. A beautiful romance, slow, quiet and tender.

Intoxicating, the exquisite details and stunning art pull you into a complex tale of captivity, anger, eroticism and fear. Certainly a forbidden relationship filled with taboo and complicated feelings. The plot grasps you until the very end. At its core, a story of master and slave (for lack of a better term). The roles are clearly defined but seem to switch constantly, making the reader pay attention and question what will happen next. This brings up heavy themes like captivity, beasiality and consent/rape. Though the zhen could speak and had very human features they still enslave it as an object of beauty and curiosity? Though that's not surprising since that's done every day to animals and humans. People really suck sometimes. But it does beg the question, that despite these human qualities people still hold no compassion to these creature? Even though they can communicate? Then there's beasiality and rape/assault which is being romanticized. Though that's nothing new in yaoi, unfortunately.

God damn that was the such a wonderful story. The characters were so well crafted i just fell in love and couldnt put it down. Such lovely love. And my favorite type of couple too. And the art too, it wall all fantastic!

Interesting settings, but most of the stories involve force. Not my cup of tea. I liked the first one though.

Gosh, i love sensei's stories. And the merman was so cute and lovable a real pleasure. It made me so happy reading their love story. A true romance. UwU
