moody_bish's manga / #abuse(16)

I have mixed feelings about this and I got wordy about it at the topic list. I despise abuse when it is there simply for angst and I despise it more when the "victim" enabled his abuser to be worse than the first sign of abuse. It's not the story where I want the victim to be free, it's the type where I was happy when the abuser freed himself from his victim. Hate me but that is what I feel for THIS story, I don't care about the main couple at all.

Rui-san really gives bondage a whole new meaning of trust and beauty. It's not taken as a simple fetish, but rather a display of trust and gentle yet restrictive play. Also, I'm loving how much he whips out a rope when he feels like his man is in danger or is remembering how much his man had to suffer. This is the only way I can accept "abuse" as a theme because it is a past that will be addressed in the present.

Let these broken souls be complete because I know I broke in just a few panels of realizing whst caused Asahi's memory loss and who Yuu was.

Hyungdo gets to survive by pornographing is masturbation. However, in a brothel he run errands for, the King Cobra, Gyun, has set his eyes on Hyungdo. Gyun's intentions are clearly to sell Hyungdo off as one of his manwhores. But the self-willed Hyungdo doesnt back down so easily even if he confesses that he likes Gyun. Nonetheless, Gyun isn't an ideal lover at all nor will he ever be. He is perverted with rough kinks. Still, Hyungdo accepts this and endures an unexpected hell for more than 2 years in order to be found by Gyun.

paused at 83 since translations are... unbearable. STORY WISE: the more complicated it becomes, the less urgency and clarity there are. Unlike Yvona's initially clear and linear attempts to make sure Gaspar and Tristan do not get what they want while preparing for war, she becomes complacent. it begins to focus more on "how men see women and what women can't do" —while also giving us a vague update on how their relationship is progressing. @107... She just let the damn bastard walk away, tf? I saw alot of official translations and had my hope in this, but the more i read the more foolish i feel still reading it when i already reviewed it as lacking urgency when I left it. And more so now that theu do the worst strategies just to increase unnecessary tension and mystery. Ugh dropped
