Cesur's manga / #rape(18)

To tell the truth even after re-reading the story i still don't understand the negative comments. I don't see how the uncle is the bad guy in a yaoi world. Even if we look at it from the real world viewpoint (which seems foolish sense this is a manga- a fictional work but whatever). Legally the uncle statutory raped Reo only because the kid was not at an age (base on japan's age of adulthood. In the US he is already at the age of consent- guessing sense he is a senior in HS, he was 18) to consent although he did ask the uncle to have sex with him the first time. The person i.e. Kenta, who would be charged with rape is the person who drugged Reo, therefore making Reo's judgement impaired- making him do things he would normally not do. Morally speaking the uncle did the right thing. Reo was suffering and asked the uncle to have sex with him- the uncle did not have to but he did- and afterward the uncle did not tell him about being drugged because he knew that Reo would blame himself for ending the uncle and his mother's marriage. For the rest of the time they had sex it is obvious that Reo was not truly rejecting the uncle base on how he reacted to Kenta

In the year 1931 Shinya Kaito’s planned to elope with his lover Yuriko and travel around the world. However, she was married off to a powerful man named Sugai. Being abandoned by the woman he loved, Kaito swore to get revenge for choosing money instead of him. Fast-forward 18 years later, Yuriko died and her son, Sugai Nanami meets Kaito. Now a wealthy man, Kaito buys Nanami from his uncle and forces him to be Yuriko’s substitute. This manga was kind of predictable and rushed as hell. There was one twist that was interesting but it was resolved far too quickly. As for the characters, Nanami was the typical weak uke, he didn’t really have much of a personality but he was likeable. He wasn’t annoying and he was kind of cute. I didn’t really buy his romance with Kaito but I’m glad he got a happy end. He deserved it after all the shit he went through all his life. Kaito was really jealous, possessive and downright creepy. He definitively had a couple of screws loose. I will say this, I liked the thing with the letters, and I think the character designs are good. All in all, it was an okay manga, nothing memorable. If you’re into jealous, possessive lovers, the “I bought you as a sex slave” plotline and you don’t mind the whole falling in love with the rapist trope, then I recommend this manga.

KILLING STALKING ENDING IS ACTUALLY GOOD.     Ignoring some plot holes, the last chapter was actually a good thematic closure:   • Sangwoo What is interesting about sangwoo's ending is that his death is a poetic irony. Sangwoo did exactly what his mother did to him : showing Bum how he slept with Jeun, killing her and make him feel guilty about it, going to the forest together to bury the corpse and so on. And in all this mess, Bum wasn’t even accepted for who he was. In the last author’s note, someone asked if Sangwoo loved Bum, she simply said that the answer is in the last chapter, she pointed out the fact that Sangwoo was calling Bum’s name during his last moment. At the end he did recognize Bum for who he is, and he was killed with a pillow just after that, just like his mom tried to do when he was younger. It’s like he was betrayed and killed a second time by an important person (cause I suppose he didn’t see who killed him), which is very sad and pitiful... His past just repeated itself and destroyed him.  It’s sad. It’s horrible. It’s karma. • Yoonbum What makes YoonBum’s death completely valid is that, again, he get in trouble because of his own fault. From the first chapter, we know that YoonBum’s reason to live is Sangwoo; he was his new obsession, the guy who “saved” him when no one cared. And what happened when YoonBum tried get close to his hero? He put himself in a big, obscure mess. The Sangwoo that YoonBum “loved” so much was a monster, an illusion, and how did he die in the end? Pursuing the illusion of a dead man. Just like the start, YoonBum again fallen for an illusion and again did pay the price. • • • They both lived in the same house and they shared a « relationship », but it’s impressive to see how they actually lived in two different worlds and psychologically speaking they had nothing to do with each other. Both of their lives just ended miserably.. and to me they had no future together since their mental illnesses made it impossible. Sigh... their death was the only solution to finally free them from their problems.  The end of Killing Stalking is good. Not perfect, a little clichê, but good enough. P.s: Killing Stalking is a psychological horror thriller not a romcon.

Well, that was unique! Boss is struggling through quite a rough patch from a recent divorce and begins to enjoy the company of a admiring subordinate. Then one day the boss overhears the subordinate making fun of him so he kidnaps him and does sexy, sadistic shit to him. The art style is quite good with an interesting plot that I've never read before.

Ha.. The second story, with saisei, haha! uke was a dhampir hybrid of a human and a vampire that's just freakishly weird. Yasuhara accepted the situasion and hunted Saisei down in his lair. The concept of the stories is creative but the details were a bit much accept for the last story...It was cliched but also unique in it's own way. I love the melancholic atmosphere; that even though we had them reunited there's still the lingering sadness, especially for Riku's family. Riku cannot thoroughly separate himself from the life he has before. It was mesmerizing to see how the vampires experienced love from humans perspectives.

I was really looking forward to this, too bad the execution was quite poor. It seems like the mangaka had a lot of ideas, and they just got away from them as the story was compressed into the seven chapters. It feels a little rushed in a lot of areas, and there's just so much random information here and there that isn't even necessary or explored enough to be actually relevant. Trying to make Mizutani both pitiful and vengeful didn't really work out, either. Kusaka seemed to be the most balanced character, but overall I felt that none of them got real development. I truly feel like the drama was force, maybe because 1 volume isn't enough to cover all of the emotions and everything just went fast forward in the last 2 chapters. this manga has a lot of potential but too bad it's only 1 volume.

That's two diffrent kinds of trauma clashing. For Uke there's internal issues like self acceptance, low self-esteem, lacking social interation. For Seme there's external issues, mother abandonment, feelings of being rejected by people he loved (like Uke), loneliness for having to leave his comfort zone (his dog, his former school). Ordinary Yaoi plot, but Yeah! this wouldn't have been a story without the lack of communication (as usual) that yaoi manga posses. .. About character development, "Kiyou" especially changed a lot, Compared to how he was like as a kid, and then now when he adopted this "I'm the root of all evil" attitude. it was a change for the worse, but he definitely wouldn't act like he did at the end if he didn't accept the worse truth to be abnormal generously. "Tsurugi" changed too, his abrupt moving warped his mind. Altough he didn't change much since reuniting with Kiyou, he just became more desperate as his tactics didn't work and his actions escalated. • • From my perspectives, characters development is basic and storyline goes with monotonous regularity
