takame's manga / #criminal(34)

p. 1-79 : #supernatural #animal transformation #werewolf : #hunky great looking seme x #strong bodyguard #stoic uke. one handsome manly couple, gahd. ./ p.80-115: a still-guilty #police agent from his past negligence. #serial killer within the camp. ./ p.116-139 : made a rude passing remark as foreign exchange students, #reencounter in as businessmen, uke in an arranged marriage. the handsome yet cruel-type seme x pitiful uke who fell for him. ./ p. 140-end: #school life #all boys school. the pure and maidenly love story of two high schoolers in a mild comedic tone.

as always this mangaka is over the top with her twisted rape to love works. generally a loose morals manga. smut for smut's benefit i guess. ch. 2: okay chapter 2, you had me there, hahaha. what a twist! from friendship to secret unrequited love to transfer to another unrequited love that is not unrequited love at all!? ./ ch. 3: another attempt for erotic comedy. college freshman who made a mistake of his life asking this former high school classmate to live in a shared apartment. #part-timer #mob rape at work, #seme saved him. mutual affections, too stubborn to confess to each other. ./ ch. 6: stockholm syndrome, rape to love, mind break. confessed to a straight friend (who btw witnessed the rape) but got rejected. #criminal x #salaryman *coughTRAFFIC CONEcough*

damn it. tragic end. suicide. what an adventure for a oneshot. the ending was intense

#mindbreak. #shota traumatized pedophilia victim played with this elementary he met. #reencounter 4-6 yrs after. kid, a high schooler and now upgraded with a cohort in order to get this twisted man go out with him. the ending gave me an unresolved feeling tho. so.. well.

In similar format to hontou yajuu with a per-episode digest of humor, a little action and sex. Fun and entertaining with a thief that targets his favourite cop. It's full of promise and it's interesting but unfortunately, it left me with an unsettled feeling in the end. TBH it really can carry itself for long term similar to Hontou Yajuu story-wise. There should be more here and I don't understand why the publisher or the mangaka axed this down. It's a waste of a good plot.

p. 1-44, 181-end: #rape to love. #(assassin)prince uke x knight semes. A gay #commander is being proposed to by a kingdom in order not to be invaded. that dancer/assasin turned out to be a prince but it seems like his kin were not too happy with him. commander in the end took him as his own. p. 51-76: #supernatural. #high school seme x salaryman uke / reserved younger seme x bold uke. #seme is 6 years younger. one heartbroken night he suddenly hear his #childhood friend's thoughts. but at least that helped getting the message across since this big stoic boy is too reserved. well, since he's older, he took the initiative. p. 81-122: #childhood friends #threesome. #rich seme(s) x #ordinary #glasses uke. #twins. came from an old, traditional family. family wanted the heir to be proper but the real reason they wanted to talk is to get rid of this unrelated child who is sponging off them. p. 116-152 : #gardener seme x #young master uke. young master had a #homecoming after several years w/ the death of his father. he acts arrogant but he's lonely and fragile underneath the cold front. and gardener seme knew how to reveal it. p. 158-173: a shortie oneshot about this boy who was bought by a CEO with millions and now made him into his S&M partner.

Another one of those phantom thief versus police story. This time, the thief has an actual agenda and a deeper reason to steal. This thief's signature is to give a puzzle of a clue and let the police figure it out. He is also always successful in taking the item, frustrating the police assigned to him. Lives a double life too. As a cafe owner and the masked thief. The police guy serves more as a comic relief with his epic fails and his feelings torn between the mysterious thief and the café owner (which are one and the same lol. poor guy) #rich uke #half-European noble blood, half- Japanese. seme - it's sweet how he chased uke to the other parts of the earth

⟫ Te wo Tsunaide, Sora wo > Amayakana Toge > Aisanai Otoko > Vanilla Star. 〚 Slice of life story series of friends working in a publishing house and their lovers.〛 first pair: haruya (writer) x maki ch. 1-6: blocked writer who stays at the outskirts of Tokyo saved this dirty and hungry young man. #met when the boy's 17. 17 yo youth x 30 yo guy that works in a publishing co. + that cute tuxedo cat. ch. 13: extra story about seme's ex. and his new boyfriend. yagisawa introduced the new guy to the main couple. ------ɫ ⬧ ɫ-------- Non-related shorties. ch. 7-9: Kiss me Daddy, a reprint from the manga Make me happy. #age gap. ch. 10: #office life of a guy who had a bad rumor around him in the office. more specifically, being gay. #discrimination #homophobia. then slanderer aka. the salty-douchebag-exBF hit karma. and uke lived happily ever after. ch. 11: it is interesting. why is it open-ended. mangaka should have just made this into a fucked up oneshot... or two-shot. at least i want more of them. started with #rape and #imprisonment. yep, it's always the silent ones. #college friends, but seme had this "great" idea of making a stockholm syndrome victim out of the friend he's having an unrequited love with. #rape to love i guess. ch 12: nice. i a bit intense story. a guy who looked like a stiff-collared businessman rented him out for the whole night. uke is moonlighting as a #prostitute to pay for college. in the middle of sweet talk, he said "take me with you" he did mean it a bit. but was left with a thick envelope of money. then he saw on tv this #embezzler who looked super familiar.

⟫ Hana to Ryuu > Sessa Takuma > Kizuna > Gun and Heaven. 〚 3 years after Kizuna, the tashiro x j.b. couple settled down in some foreign country. 〛 Assassin couple returns. The many-faced, #half-japanese tashiro roy and his mentor and older lover j.b and their dangerous life together. Separate story, no appearance of prequel main cast. @CH. 6: shu hua cameo (the brat who chases j.b from kizuna). Kodaka sense's artwork has improved leaps and bounds in this volume. I was on a kizuna series binge and it's a nice treat to see how aside from sensei's artwork, you can clearly see the evolution in taste, fashion sense and architecture from sessa's 90's backdrop to GnH's latest 2016 fad.

due to accident, a man can't fulfill his husband duties especially in bed so he made this young and handsome caretaker to attend his wife's sexual needs. but lately, his wife were giving him hateful looks... #a little bit of stockholm syndrome too. the title's connection to the plot is interesting. it's a sadahiro mika. should be understandable that there would be rap, murder and dark theme.
