Agathe's manga / #Interesting(384)

just a little bit of angst, and a little bit of fluf. how come wearing a dress can be so painfull for some when it's so good to me... sight

Typically not something i would read, but actually really interresting, the variety of characters and situations lift the ridicuous premise of most young love story. I also raises all the ambiguity of sex discovery, the freedom you might want, the limit necessary to find, the judgement from self or other hypocritical "consumers" and the mixing up of feeling in the middle... if you were to question sex in our time, maybe you'd write something like that. All the confusion is there, plus it's mostly a fun read, and beautiful drawing

Amazingly, a manipulative and unpleasant character manage to become intriguing, and even take life with his encounter to hopeful not to idiotically naive counterpart. Usually those type of read irks me as they tend to be ridicoulous an mean with a rather unbilievable ending, but here there is a nice balance and some lines are never crossed. The tortured guy never actually push it to far with his newbie editor, and there is not miraculous/ evil revelation followed by an out of this world change that need to happen for a happy ending. Instead there is a good dose of exchange between the characters where you see them getting surprised, or interested and eventually attracted. This thin balance of credibility is neatly maintained and i thoroughly enjoyed the ride i thought i would despise

series of shorts, with quite some depth. The storytelling is pretty metaphorical and emotional, no useless explanations, just a strong vibe of feelings that carry well.

from 5 to 0 Sooo disapointing. It went by the polyamori and threw it away without question : the guy can collect girls, but when one of the girl has a lover, a choice need to be made. I never saw the possibility of her keeping them both, so somehow, girls will share, but the guy wont.-< which is a genetic disaster btw And who care who's the father, biology made us so THEY should not know. It is the exact reason why we evolve to not show fertility periods. so as much as the beginning rough some nice questions, i found the choices of the writer to be totaly repulsive at that point (harem is by far one the the thing i loath in the world. I causes war and it's miserable for women POINT. Despite that bold statement that manga brings things to a totally different place, a bit like polyamori, it raises question of relationship and interaction to a deep level. It depicts different kind of love, one which is caring, the other fun, maybe a last one which is our start point, and that actually look like "falling in love" the way we understand it. Can you abide by the rule of a harekon, what kind of happiness and limits are there to be found, i'm pretty amazed how real all the questions brought there sound to me, and how deep this ridiculous premise manage to bring me. )

sex in not just another job, but maybe it would more often be described with that much smart, wit and humanity, as it does bring a lot of valid questions about society, values, relations. it has existed for as long as ... hum, at least civilisations let say, but it probably has been frown upon for near as long. So what's in there and why ? i believe there are plenty lesson to take there, the protagonist brings different lights to their needs, and the MC display fun confident and gentle sensuality, with a playfulness and a sincere care, all that can so easily be forgotten Pretty amazing read

i love this title, it seems original and interesting it's only flaw would be that it is slow to come by, and i might want to wait for the next 10 year and a finished story, before reading it (that would be bad for the artist) argh

4.5 really interesting read with interesting characters, good art, and an interesting plot storytelling seems so grown up compared to haru wo daite, it does not explore as much, but you really get into the story much much more

45 - great battles, intriguing story and character

good reading. The art is clean and nice, the story is good, not too complicated, but it mostly holds well ( the end of 1st part is hard to get at some places maybe lost in translation, the gap of few year is not to great too, not by itself, but maybe with how it comes to be. I'm not too sure of what to think of the super evil king, but well, i guess it's ok the building of the character of the prince seems a bit off to me, his background holds things that are strange (the killing bird) his personalityy conflicts with it ( he's supposed to be very smart, but... He's the son of nobles but the street boy part dominates, ) and so on. The BL part, also comes just plain out of nowhere. nonetheless it's a pleasant read and i'm curious of what to expect from the "true" main character
