Ophiuchus's manga / #Penguin Frontier(5)

I haven't added this to any list partly because as I was reading this (currently in the middle of reading this), I wondered whether this is a MANGA by a JAPANESE MANGAKA or not. After following him/her on twitter, I realised that I can read japanese and Penguin-sama's posts are a mix of English and Japanese. It was shocking and I honestly appreciate this hahahaha The art style of is just so beautiful what a talented artist! Penguin's identity is still a mystery to me (although I'm aware that there are many foreign mangaka in Japan as well or are working with Japanese mangaka!) About Penguin Frontier https://www.instagram.com/penguinfrontier/?hl=en https://twitter.com/penguinfrontier https://www.facebook.com/PenguinFrontier/ The art is to sooo beautiful even without the yaoi and explicit stuff (It's so gorgeous) Faker’s Affair (2014): 3c MU Description When the nerdy and dull Ichinose Yuuya fell in love with the most popular guy at school, Hinata Ryuuji, he thought that he would be okay just to be near Ryuuji. But one day, he decided to confess. "I like you!" "I'm sorry...but I'm really happy." After this confession, Yuuya transferred to another school and lost contact with Ryuuji. Then, they met again at university, but Yuuya was like a completely different person...!? 2 volumes and 1 extra "After Story" which contains the epilogue and ending to this story!

Not sure what year was this released in

It's not fully censored which is scary considering how the sex scenes are graphic.... But HAWT.

TW: sexual assault Review (may contain spoilers): I love how the story is so well thought out, depicted and also how it's unraveled is also so sublime - I love how you can right away get it without having any excess narrations. The imageries play a great impact and say it all once the humans shapeshift while the narrations are kept in a low level to make the readers figure it out. It started with a warm story between two brothers (incoming pseudo incest trope) and a time skip to show that years have gone by, and in that countryside, there lies a miko in a cave/shrine where they send the human sacrifice to be secluded to pray for humanity's well being, and that, these humans will only have a chance in life if they stay in their village. This story opens up with a nice daily life of shrine guards/ SOL/ iyashikei plot, and even introduces the ML's potential love interest, a caring girl who takes care of her elderly and makes lunch boxes for the shrine guards. Penguin Frontier is a solid storyteller, I enjoyed reading it! This time, the color palettes for this series are also fairly beautiful and I noticed that the same face syndrome that has plagued the creator has tremendously improved! To add, I think this serious and poignant undertone style of writing/foreshadowing is so priceless. I love this style, it's beautifully done.
