taruchi's manga / #Beautiful Art(161)

Alright so here's the deal, I really wanted to like this and in some ways I did, but overall? I really didn't like it. I think the world building is very interesting and the art looks fantastic, but I take great issue with almost all the sex scenes being rape. Like holy shit dude what the fuck??? And the last one in the side stories, even if it's consensual, the uke literally tells the seme no and to stop and bro doesn't. Yeah, not a fan. Not to mention that they keep calling each other BROTHER??? Dude. Naur. All that said, may the late author of the original work rest in peace

Can't say much as of rn since we're only two chapters in but it seems interesting

Reread: Wow this was genuinely incredible. The art is stunning but aside from that the writing and story were so well done... The characters were so well written and almost felt real, and the way their relationships were portrayed was handled so well. Typically I have issues with noncon in yaoi, but in this case I think it was handled extremely well and not put in as something to sexualize in the slightest. I also see people complaining about the ending, but personally I think the ambiguous and open ended ending fits the themes of this manhwa more than a concrete conclusion on how their relationship goes Reread count: 1

Reread: I could talk about this for literally so long it's my favorite yaoi ever just. GOD I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! The characters are all so fun and cute, I love sasamiya's relationship they're so cute and sweet and the constant awareness of boundaries and asking for consent is so lovely and nice. And the art is so gorgeous!! This is just incredibly cute and sweet and I cannot give it enough praise ever, cannot recommend it enough Reread count: 5+ I've reread this a lot not to mention specific volumes or chapters

This is interesting for sure! I'm such a sucker for fake/pretend relationships, and although this is a rather unique case, it still appeals to me in that way. The art is nice, I think the dynamic is interesting, and I find the characters to be enjoyable. Although I do feel bad for the mc's friend, it always sucks to see someone who was pinning after one of the characters in the main couple watch them fall in love (unless they end up being a piece of shit about it). Looking forward to updates!

This was really good, the second half especially was so cute and I really enjoyed the development of their relationship. I don't have much to say honestly but it's worth the read!

Reread: This was really good! The art was lovely, I enjoyed the development of the characters' relationship a lot, and the way they portrayed the seme's experience with his sexuality was really interesting. Plus the dynamic of "guy who's expressions don't show on his face" x "guy who can read his expressions anyways" is so cute... Ough Reread count: 1

Reread: THIS WAS SO CUTE!!! I really loved both of the stories, the couples were adorable and the communication was nice, what a lovely read... The art is very nice and the characters are endearing, I wish there was more content for them! Reread count: 1

This was so good!!! Oh my gosh!!! The plot was extremely interesting, I loved the characters and their development, and the art was very nice. It reminded me of a plot you'd see in a danmei and I absolutely ate it up. SUCH a well done and interesting read!!

Reread: This was cute! Definitely an enjoyable read, the characters were endearing and the concept was interesting but simple. The seme reads as aroace spec to me and as an aroace spec person myself I always love when characters in media I consume come off that way to me. Anyways the development of the relationship was nice but felt a little rushed, although since it's a single volume I don't fault it too hard for that Reread count: 1
