Akuma Wa Hohoemu
Sadly the most disappointing in the series. It’s not that the seme “cheated” that was a problem, I respected him not having sex with a child after all. It’s that he did it so close to the birthday, and that Hisashi had to be blindsided by the lover. That was tacky, especially since Sou went to such great lengths to make sure Hisashi didn’t date. I enjoyed the abstinence punishment (well done Fuu) but come on.. we never got to see the two of them together! There was nothing to wipe away the memory of Sou sleeping with others. Extreme sad face here..
Hitomi No Ori (NAONO Bohra)
Interesting. Some motives for some actions were a little unclear but it was enjoyable in a dark, hurt the one you love kind of way.
Hanazono No Kioku
A really great story that has some dark underlying themes. Yuu is a novelist who is drawn into a world with Chris that is unsettling and unpredictable yet also something he strangely craves. Those adjectives fall short of the horrors of Chris’ childhood but his love for Yuu is all to real and consuming. Can these two be together?
