Akuma To Keiyaku (haru)
Ok this shit was pretty cute except for the one rape scene and the stalker segment. Man Kojima was really out here working strings to get ryosuke (not sure if that’s how it spelt) to be a good successful actor. Ryo... had to work as Kojima’s assistant to pay his debt of scratching kojimas sports car(? Looked like a sports car)
A Thousand Cranes
Cuteee. I wish it had more extra thoe I wanted to see more of Theo slowly forgiving Craig and what Nicholas was up to now. Also ofc ofc more of Dean dealing with his mental issues and self esteem. But I’m really glad Craig didn’t die after being shot and that ms. Han didn’t end up double crossing
Monetary Love
Ok ok this was pretty good and honestly wish it was longer. Yanai owes a debt thanks to his friend who put his name in when he borrowed the money. Now he’s been working as a sex worked for half a year. With gay men no less (apparently he’s straight but does it for the money, ch 1). A yakuza named maki decides he wants him and kidnaps him for a short while asking him to become his personal whore for 5x the income. Knowing the risks yanai agrees anyway. Aw maki is actually the yandere type. Very cute puppy cute with yanai and cold to others. (Well what we’ve seen at least). I wish this had been longer thoe tbh I would wanna see how their relationship goes and how yanai changed now that he has been recruited as a yakuza too. I thought maki wouldn’t let him tbh but he did. Might’ve been since the leader himself asked yanai if he wanted too
Stigma
This was so good honestly. I can go fuck around and I ended up getting hurt. The development in this story was amazing. We got to see how characters changed not only through the words fed to use but even the pictures conveyed changes. Things that you notice if you pay close attention like when sehyuen stops covering his tattoo at the end showing us how he isn’t as bother by it and his past anymore. Ofc it’ll always be there but he’s slowly getting through it. Loved it. Showed a variety of diff characters too. Black, white, Asian, lesbians, bi’s, etc. so yea a lot of representation. A lot of topics too. Racism, rape victims/survivors, immigrants, shitty parents, shitty kids. Whew just so much. Honestly just damn there’s so much to say I don’t know where to begin and I won’t be able to do it justice so I don’t think I’ll say much. The art was amazing. The plot sad yes but still amazing too. Boris I hope he gets past his guilt. He definitely learned from experience so I hope little by little his anger diminishes
Sex at the Ends of the Earth
Indeed I enjoyed this. Honestly wish it was longer. I would buy this on renta but I’m kinda broke rnnn. Too many manga/book spending. I wanted to know where masao went to come back to the hotels so tired also kinda guessed he had sold his car BUT I thought he was saving up the money to help pay the loan back. Also wish it would’ve been longer to see how he got out of his position without being harmed since his boss said it was hard to get out of that type of business. Yep good shit right here. Pretty good art too. Just wish there was more details but it didn’t take away from the story so I’m fine with it
Goriyou wa keikakutekini
There was something missing idk. But I like how makoto told him the truth about those last two sex sessions not being meant to be used to pay his debt. Godai was like ???!! Cute. Also when he stuck up for him not knowing that the dude was actually his bro who wanted him out of harms way. Oof sex to pay debt huh especially when you yourself is in debt too. Not a good idea. Tsurou was really onto something when he told makoto he should just pay if he could. Which makoto did. Damn so his dad has luck with scratchers. I hope he keeps having it so they can live somewhere better
