ladyarakune's manga / #city life(86)

Mayou Otoko

Complete | KANO Shiuko | 2000 released

an architect and his interior designer werkin on building some kind of building get distracted. they do not seem to understand the meaning of "bisexuality" and this causes some distress. Things continue normally until this suddenly becomes a fetish manga. This was a welcome change from a story that seemed to otherwise fit a typical mold. This manga does not really have an end so it was kind of frustrating.

adorable set of stories about just dudes being bros. the first one about a manga artist and his publisher is my favorite.

Omae To Dynamite!!

Ongoing | kijima hyougo | 2000 released

it says "ongoing" but that could mean anything. multiple stories. the second one is literally about anthropomorphized city buses banging each other. real talk.

Itou-san (KURAKA Sui)

Complete | KURAKA Sui | 2015 released

about a prostitute and an assassin. it had a very "boys next door" (kaori yuki) vibe to it. very dark, very messed up. one of those yaoi that makes you not want to read yaoi anymore. ugh those bonus chapters really tug at the heartstrings

Ijiwaru

Room 1/2

Complete | HIIRO Reiichi | 2000 released

there are a few sexy moments but mostly this is shounen ai. it is about a cute roommate couple. they split the cost of an expensive apartment to impress their respective partners. instead they just bang each other

Yojouhan Sweet Home

Complete | OUMI Shinano | 2000 released

i saw the oldschool 90s manga style, and the S&M tags, and i was ready for some fucked up shit. I mentally prepared myself for SOME SHIT. First page, opening scene: body sushi. im like ok, this is what i came for. However....its actually pretty tame. Chapter 2 has a brief fetish scene but thats honestly it. It turned out to be a really cute story about a poor person who gets taken in by a rich guy. Its light-hearted and fun. Then the final chapter is VIKINGS like it comes out of NOWHERE holy shit. ACTUAL VIKINGS.

Uchi no Tantei Shirimasen ka?

Complete | kisaragi hirotaka | 2007 released
