Ouji No Hakoniwa
The first story definitely rubbed me the wrong way but I liked the 2nd and the extra at the end. Not to mention, something about Ogawa Chise's art makes me want to keep looking at it. Her characters have a strange allure about them -it's like exaggerated sexiness?

Mixed feelings on this. I really just can't see this one as one cohesive story, it feels like two completely separate stories. One half is a nightmare and the other is a fluffy love story. I just really don't buy how a simple miscommunication can make such a difference in the story, or how the uke can suddenly flip from feeling violated & abused with the seme who he sees as a parental figure (incestous), to suddenly feeling cared for and loved and seeing this person as a lover instead. Surely there would be some residual feelings or trauma, but no he's just magically cured of all his fear for the seme and filled with love.... Not buying it...

I have mixed feelings. The story really pissed me off, somehow. Perhaps because I feel like the uke just kept giving and giving and only got abuse and 1 chapter of good treatment in return? And you know what pissed me off even more? The fact that, even knowing all that, I didn't hate this manga at all. The art and plot were just so addictive I wanted to keep reading Ugh!
