Hate You, Love You
The sudden changes in personalties and plot lines are giving me whip lash. Could have been good. Is strange. But interesting. I feel like it'll get better. It's a little iffy right now
Shinjou Kokyuu
Oooh! Gunna be a tear jerker. The kinda Student/Sensei story I could maybe get behind. Gravitas!
Itonaga-kun no Koi no Ito
Sanada is a difficult man to like, honestly. None of his feelings justified what he did, nor the fact that he never attempted to put a stop to it. But he is trying to redeem himself, though I am not convinced he is redeemed. However, one thing I will say is that I am certain he will never purposefully hurt Itonaga again Edit: Itonaga's such a precious dumpling, why would you want to hurt him, it just makes zero sense. That bully didn't even apologize, what an arsehole. Glad Sanada cut ties with him
Incidentally Living Together
5 I was a hikkikomori of sorts for months when I was in uni. This hits home in a really hard way. I hope good things are headed his way. Edit: I don't know why something at the back of my brain keeps trying to convince me that Hanbit hired him. I refuse to listen. The ukes mood swings and the seme blowing cold at odd moments gives me a lot of anxiety. I think, both of them have a lot of issues but both are good people. I want to believe they can make this work Edit: I can't seem yo bring myself to be interested anymore.
Hi no Ataranai Basho
For the last fucking time: conBLOODYsent! Jesus! Edit: Also, I hate this ugly island and it's ugly hearted people
Motekei Ouji no Renai Command
It's all right? Was hot here and there. Edit: I kinda liked it more this time around? Moegi isn't half bad and uke was kinda cute too, I guess. It was hot. And the relationship developed well and healthily
Egoistic Trap
First of all, the art was right up my street, perfectly soft and sharp, exactly where I needed it to be. Body lines were also especially lovely on the ukes, in the sex scenes 1: A kouhai senpai relationship that carried over from uni to work transforms into something more under the persuasion of the well meaning but pushy seme. The sex is so hot, and this comes so close to the particular brand of dub con I've always enjoyed, but missed the mark by a bit. It borders too much on non con the first time. Just a bit and I would have enjoyed the shit out of this one. 4.5 2: A jaded man who was abused and used all his life can't help falling for his kind and innocent kohai at work 4 3: Story about childhood friends, one of them a stick in the mud sorta fella with ridiculous gender constructs and an archery doujo education to go with it. His friend who is in love with him forces the situation. I dislike these kinda rapey stories. Maybe not rape, but it still felt really off. Not at all coy, he was clearly saying no, even though he didn't seem to mind as much after the fact 2.5 Total 3.67
Oni to Tengoku
Tengoku is a real piece of shit. Those first couple times were rape, I don't care how much Aoki physically enjoyed it. He did not consent. It's not bloody rocket science. Also, not to mention all those kids Tengoku took adavantage of. It matters shit-all that they were 18, he was their infirmary sensei and somewhat in a position of power over them. That they were past the legal age of consent is not relevant, this is so morally bankrupt!! I just want Aoki to be happy. He's had such a shit life, he couldn't even sleep with people because of how traumatizing the neglect and abuse was. He didn't deserve his first time to go like this. He deserves to be happy. 5* because I am assuming (hoping) there is a happy ending for Aoki
Kamiato Kara, Hatsukoi
Trying to skim through without much feeling because while I want to see that they are okay, I can't bear to read through the actual rape (for both of them)
