Gintama dj - Mienai Kusari
Hated this story but couldn't stop reading it. My heart says this story should be rated 2 stars because emotionally, I bloody hated it and everything about it but my head has to rate it 5 for the ability to pencil, pain, torture, Stockholm syndrome, desperation and survival. Everything I hated, still kept me turning every page so kudos to Harada for that.
Nana to Kaoru
DNF @ch4 pg16. Ecchi story that was taking ages to go nowhere and provide no real substance. No smut where I read up to, just typical Ecchi cleavage and thoughts.
Hoozuki-san Chi No Aneki + Imouto
Part#2. (2.5 stars). Went a different direction from the first part in this series. Took a more harem/Ecchi direction and I'm kinda losing interest in it. No actual smut scenes but has glossed over, heavy petting scenes with few other girls and heaps of sexual dialogue and innuendos. Update: DNF @vol3 ch12. Can't force myself to go on with this.
Kichiku, Encount
Loved main story but fizzled out for me towards the end. Separate side story at the end was nice with S&M feel but too short.
Pick Up
3.5 stars. Would have liked to see further into their future as it kinda cut off abruptly.
Kare no Shousou to Koi ni Tsuite
This story is the sequel to Kedamono kareshi although the main couple in this story has absolutely no links to any of the couples in Kedamono kareshi, the couple in KK has their own extra oneshot sequel in this manga. Loved the premise and execution of this story. Took a while for me to warm up to this couple but when I did, it was lovey dovey heaven!
