RoseMary's manga / #Action(193)

"I thought that if he kissed me, I would bite down hard...but I couldn't do it". ✹✹ Ogasawara Uki's best work! - I think Black Sun was one of the first BL with Stockholm Syndrome I ever read, if I remember correctly, and I loved it! After reading the whole story, I still think it's good. Personally, I prefer Stockholm Syndrome in a historical setting, because I love historical genre and I think it makes things more interesting: like the fact that the story is set during a war; the middle eastern slave-turned-general Jamal and the noble monastic knight Leonard are enemies (also with different religion, ideologies etc.); and Leonard is taken captive as a war prisoner...for me, these elements make the situation more "dangerous" and enticing! Moreover, the art is beautiful and the sex scenes are really hot and sexy! If the story went a bit deeper, I think it'd have been amazing, but still it's quite endearing (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ [May contain spoilers] I loved Jamal and Leonard together. I know that there was rape, humiliation as a start of relationship, but I can't hate Jamal. He may be an outrageous man in the beginning, but IMO he's much better than Lord Francis de la Tour!! Since Leonard loved Francis, he innocently asked if he could sleep by his side for one night only, but the man told him: "God doesn't allow that kind of behavior"- just to end up raping him later! (╬￣皿￣)凸 Jamal never hurt him!! And from the very beginning, he was interested in that beautiful knight who stood before him, so I can see how he wanted to take him as his own....he knew punishment would await for him, but he wanted Leonard, not just as a mere prisoner!! "I just wanted to steal that man's heart and body". I myself was totally captivated by Jamal: if I were Leonard, I couldn't resist that man!! Oh my, in ch 4 p. 12 when he grabbed Leonard like that and said: "Leonard, I'm falling for you more and more" - I was already going crazy! I loved the development in Leonard's feelings for Jamal and, as they became closer, I liked them together more and more! ═══The only thing that kinda ruined it for me is when Jamal did it with that annoying Nicholas, and when he kissed Isaac in front of Leonard: they already broke up but even so they seemed too much close!═══ Anyway, Black Sun is really good and hot~♡

7 Chapters (Discontinued) (()) "When did this all begin? My wanting to know more about you..." - The paths of a male prostitute and an assassin cross! What they have in common is a very tragic past. They'll end up licking each others' wounds and the prostitute'll be Chris's "last client". I love Chris and Asahi together! I wanted to see the development of the plot so badly...too bad it's discontinued! I think this is a really cool story with interesting plot and characters. I wanted to read more of this, because it's the kind of story that I like. It could have become one of my top favs without a doubt! Anyway, it may be unfinished, but it's still really good! I'm so sad for what happened to Takashima-sensei (see plagiarism case - Takashima vs Kayono) and that her unfinished stories were discontinued or put on hiatus because of that! So unfair ╥﹏╥

Overall, I liked it, but there was too much drama! I don't know if I'd re-read it! But I guess it's ok to read once~

ו•× Well, ever since I was a child I loved mahou shoujo and Tokyo Mew Mew, as many other well-known products of this category, was one of my fav! Back then I thought it was cool! So, I actually read the manga to recall those good old times and it brings back lots of memories indeed! However, analyzing the story critically, the actual development of the plot is flat; there aren't spannung or exciting moments...even the final resolution escalated quickly and in a very predictable way. About the romantic component, well that didn't satisfy me not even in the anime, because even back then I didn't like Ichigo and Masaya. But, even if there are some differences between the manga and the anime, this last one is more entertaining I guess, especially the battle scenes. Overall, the manga isn't so bad...it's still nice to read! Well, of course, coming back to it now, I realized it's not that great of a story, but it's cute and makes me think of when I was younger, so I still like it! Haha ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ I guess I'm biased because of that nostalgic feeling, but I'll give it 3☆! 7 Volumes (Complete) Magical Girls, Female Fighters, Animal Characteristics, Cafè, Waitresses, Secret Identity, Genetic Modification, Aliens, Rushed Ending|Axed Sequel: Tokyo Mew Mew a La Mode; Side-Story Sequel: Tokyo Mew Mew 2020 Re-Turn Related Series Timeline: 1) Tokyo Mew Mew 2) Tokyo Mew Mew à La Mode 3) Tokyo Mew Mew: 2020 Re-Turn Anime

ו•× A sequel to Tokyo Mew Mew...was it really necessary? Oh well, I read it anyway. After all, there are only 2 volumes and so it doesn't take much time to read it. The plot is not worth mentioning, but the art was still nice and I found Berry so cute! In the prequel I didn't like the couple, Ichigo and Masaya, but in this sequel at least I liked Berry and Tasuku: such an adorable couple! For me that's really the only thing that kinda satisfied me, but I think younger readers may appreciate this story more than I did. 2 Volumes (Complete) Magical Girls, Female Fighters, Animal Characteristics, Genetic Modification, Cafè, Waitresses, Secret Identity, Hypnotism, Manipulation, Childhood Friends, Male Lead Falls in Love First, Rushed Ending|Axed Prequel: Tokyo Mew Mew; Side-Story Sequel: Tokyo Mew Mew 2020 Re-Turn Related Series Timeline: 1) Tokyo Mew Mew 2) Tokyo Mew Mew à La Mode 3) Tokyo Mew Mew: 2020 Re-Turn

☚☛ MASTERPIECE in yakuza category! This is one of the first non-BL yakuza story I had read and I loved it! It's so cool and funny at the same time~♡
