Namida mo Tooku - Aonibi no Nemuri
The first story is sad and futile. The second story is interesting, but there's no forgiving rape, especially not so casually. No excuse for that shit. The last story is dorky and cute, kind of unfitting with the other two. It wasn't a bad read, even with its flaws. The translation is slightly off, but not so bad that you can't understand what's happening.
Seishun Otome Banchou!
Mostly confused by the fact that she's only ugly when she's making a weird face. Is her normal face supposed to be ugly? I don't get it. Is there something I'm missing? She looks just like the other girls. That aside, I like her personality, and I'm eager to keep reading this. I'm only on chapter two at the moment, though. More notes added later. ETA: Finsihed chapter nine, looking forward to more. The manga isn't without flaws, and I don't like how much everyone gets away with, being so cruel to Mihane. I really want Touma to stand up for her already. I know she's tough and doesn't need to be protected, but us tough girls need someone to stand up for us, too. Maybe I'm taking this a little too personally. XD Looking forward to more, regardless of my issues with it. ETA 2: Wait, why does it say it's complete now? It can't be! I'll cry! I hope there's more of these characters. I'm happy with how it turned out in the end, and this is a very unusual manga. I sure wish I could find more stories where the female lead is unattractive or overweight and stays that way through the whole story. I don't typically like shoujo, but I really loved this.
The Memories Of Others
Drunkard Condo Syndrome
Whoever is making changes on the site right now needs to stop. It's getting worse and worse. It's like all bad stuff for no reason and zero improvements. Anyway, that's beside the point. This manga was weird as hell, but it was entertaining, so hey. Definitely some bizarro stuff going on here.
Raising a Bat
I really like this so far, even though it's like, just get on with it already! I get that it's one of those stories where the entire plot is about the chase, but it's so annoying when they won't just communicate with each other. Either way, good art, interesting story, hot guys. I'm sold.
Lingering On The Way
I love Kunieda Saika. It feels like there's no new stuff from her in years, so I hope that changes soon. This is a sweet, cute, and sad little oneshot.
Ore no Doukyuusei ga Binkan sugite Yabai
Very cute little short. It isn't dark and depressing or heartbreaking like most of Harada's stuff, haha. It reminds me of when you fool around with your friends when you're younger, and I like that it didn't immediately turn into them both loving each other, like it really started as them just being horny kids. The fact that feelings developed later makes more sense than them secretly wanting each other all along. Either way, cute, but a little too short. ETA: I was excited for the continuation, but the dubcon nature of so many of her sex scenes bums me out a bit. I love Harada so much, but she has a clear kink for the seme hurting the uke and pressuring him during sex, then the uke is just like, "okay, cool," despite the fact that he was just crying and telling the seme to stop and saying it hurts. Annoying, but at least their relationship was sweet outside of that. I wonder if it'll continue, since that sad little end about them not being able to tell anyone about their relationship. I appreciate that both parties are clearly invested by the end, so it isn't just constantly one person pursuing and the other caving.
Uchuu no Mozuku
Haha, very bizarre. Harada's stuff tends to be twisted as fuck or very bizarre, sometimes both. When it isn't soul-crushing it's... well... this.
