otakulys's manga / #Incest(32)

I read this ages ago, and it's still as weird as I remember. It is indeed strange and very disturbing, but I wouldn't say it's the most shocking thing I've ever seen. Maybe I've been reading yaoi too long. Rape is so common in yaoi, but maybe the fact that it's portrayed as awful and traumatizing, instead of the first stages of romance, and because of the bestiality element, people are horrified. Oh well, at least it's pretend.

It's not a dynamic I'd typically be about, but I'd actually read more of this if it existed. Oddly alluring.

Very depressing but in a satisfying way. That's all I can really ask. I'm eager to see the other stories, so I hope they're translated soon. ETA: I was surprised, at first, that chapter four wasn't as fucked up as the rest. After a second read through, I really like it. I think cheerful creepy is some of the best creepy, that moment when things seem okay, but we know they're not. Chapter five was quite morbid and hilarious. It's nice to have a little dark humor in there to even out the soul-crushing stories.

The first one... I don't know if it was just poorly translated or what, but it was really confusing. I get what happened, mostly, but as things were occurring, I was mostly lost. The second one was a lot better, even though it was equally fucked up. I enjoyed it in the sense that it was treated as something dark and sick. I feel like most stories like this don't truly delve into that, the whole sexual predator element. Though, of course, it's too much to ask to see a guy like that actually pay for what he did to a child. Oh well, fiction!

I probably would have given this less stars based on the first two chapters, but I really like the sexual interaction between the two semes. It's nice to see everyone getting it on with everyone. The endless rape that is never dealt with I could do without, but I feel like the manga got better as it went along. I liked the student and teacher one, even though it was short and abrupt, mostly because of the teacher's "yeah, why not" attitude, which made me laugh. The brother thing... It was sort of random, very short, so I don't really get the point of it being in there. But whatever. Decent manga. I would have given it two stars if it were just more of the first two chapters throughout, but three and a half stars for making things a bit more interesting.

I love this mangaka so much, and I love the stories, especially the rain one. I just wish the ending weren't so ambiguously sad.

Kind of... strange. Very short oneshot based on getting back at a crappy father. The sick brother is weirdly naive, but I guess it's because he's in a plastic bubble? I feel like someone would have told him at some point not to pull his penis out in front of other people and shout, "It's here!" when he gets an erection.
