Kiba's manga / #slave(2)

04 21 A really interesting story about a hybrid elf/human, that are hated by elves and notoriously treated horribly, taken in by a winged. Here, Taavi accepts that the stability of being a slave is a way of life compared to what he had endured, but there is more to Taavi than he himself knows, and more to the winged who saved him, Raskin, only to lose him to the general akros as a higher rank. Incredibly interesting and unique.

This is truly a work of art for any genre I think. I prefer to read completed but once I started reading this, I was completely compelled. Couldn't stop reading it until I got to the last chapter translated. The trust issues, feeling betrayed, feeling lonely, the constant surprises of a great plot... all the emotions, actions and writing is spectacular. The desperation and the viciousness is so relatable, the art is beautiful, and the yaoi, while at times is for torture, isn't just put in to be hot or appeal to us yaoi lovers. It needs to be there, and it itself is sexy, brutal, loving, harsh, questioning, and necessary.
