Literal God's manga / #trauma(2)

Aitsu To Ore

Complete | Tohjoh Asami | 1998 released

Bittersweet tone but not an unhappy ending. Both boys have some serious trauma. Sinner and Saint dynamic. The uke is very naive and innocent, angelic and preachy. The seme is damaged to all hell. It could have gone longer really lingering on the trauma felt for a better empathetic connection but it was effective regardless.

Bashing Renai

Complete | Abe Miyuki | 1995 released

It's not bad. Good art, decent story. I'm not happy with how rape was handled in respect to how threats continue publicly and nobody does or says anything. Doesn't make much sense that there's so little reaction. That said there are things to like here. I really liked seeing the uncommon character types. The uke is a jerk and has a personality usually reserved for semes. The seme is passive. It's not one I'll go back to but not one I hated reading.
