Hatsuai

Complete | fuzuki atsuyo | 2006 released

Kashiwaya is captivated by his childhood friend, Hibino, adam's apple. Thinking he is a vampire he decides to lick it only to leave both of them unsatisfied. Comedy, weird uke, naive uke, high school romance, childhood friends The art of this series is adequate considering the date of publishing. It's not as stylish, polished, and detailed as you would find for a work nowadays. Regardless, I think it really adds to the appeal of this work. Proportions were sometimes a tad bit off, but nothing too noticeable. Expressions were stoic, but it adds to the humor and conveys the feelings of the characters very well. The characters were... quite peculiar. The uke has traits that I haven't find in any other uke, naive and innocent yet not stupid and girly. Totally loved him! As for the seme, he is an understanding, loving, accepting character. While reading this, I was thinking "ah, they make a great match!" The relationship development progressed very smoothly. I loved reading the titles of the chapters, they made sense and added to the anticipation. I loved their confessions, it suited their personalities perfectly. The plot was compelling. I don't think i've ever found a plot like this in a high school romance series. The story telling relied mostly dialogues so you will have to infer the thoughts and thinking process of the characters, I think this makes it better because everyone can have their own opinions on the characters. This series employs dry humor, I think adults who read this will fully understand the real appeal this series has. I'm satisfied with where this took me. The amount of chapters was good. I don't feel a "want more" yearning, but I don't feel bummed out either. It was a good read. I wouldn't want to miss out on reading this at least once.

Minjae bumps into a stranger in a bus on his way home, days later he can't stop thinking about him so when they meet again he follows the stranger to a bathhouse... comedy, dick is called junior, bath house The art of this story is good. It's classical and simple, which I like. Nothing stood out, it wasn't particularly fluffy or sexy. It was just common nice art. The characters are easy to relate to. They are not complex, detailed oriented characters, but they're not bad. For the most part we see Minjae's POV, which makes me wish the other guy were more developed. The character development is simple. You definitely know what's coming. In the first place, there wasn't much going on so the development was generic. However, the way this author delivers her work is amazing. The plot was basic. It follows a very basic story line. The highlight of this story is how funny it is. Every chapter will make you giggle at least. Not a lot of things going on and a generic storyline but it was a fun read. Worth reading. I don't think I'll reread this, at least not anytime soon, but I'm glad I did read it at least once.

TRIGGER WARNING: this manga has violent depictions of sexual scenes and uses abuse disguised as romance. Viewer discretion is advised. The torturous love between devil Yoshimi and shy honey Riku. This manga tells the story of Riku, a bartender traumatized by his first experienced having sex and a regular playboy at the bar, Yoshimi. The art felt really personal, it felt very particular of the author. I didn't have any major complaints. Expressions where great and bodies were proportionate. Manly figures and faces really gave the feel of actually reading yaoi without it being bara- The art employs comic relief in scenes and funny faces! The characters develop slowly, but they are well defined in their personalities from the beginning. They don't change who they are, but rather grow. You might find that you love or hate a certain character at the beginning but by the end of reading this series you'll definitely change your opinion about said character. The relationship development. At the beginning, it was irritating to see all the humiliation going on and the way Yoshimi demands his needs to be met by the clueless and uncertain Riku. The series progressed nicely into a lovely romance and we got to see a much more gentler side of Yoshimi by the end. Riku doesn't set clear boundaries, but doesn't seem to completely reject and at times it is implied that he accepts what is going on. The rapey- feeling was there for me, but I didn't feel as guilty as I usually do. Hmm..? The plot sadisitic seme x innocent uke. Nothing that seams extraordinary, but since it's conveyed well it's worth it. This manga might seem messy, but it didn't feel overwhelming and I was able to follow through the story telling and dialogues properly. The plot certainly kept my attention going. The comedy adds spice to it too. Sure. There's better out there nowadays, but this is worth reading. Specially if you're into the sadistic seme troupe. Totally worth it. Would recommend.
