otakulys's manga / #Mind Games(3)

Haha, definitely messed up, but it could be worse! I wish it were longer and played with the psychology of it more, but man,that poor kid. And the cycle continues. No way is this gonna be a healthy relationship, but I get the sense that this boy won't be able to walk away after. That supposed "sensei" is a piece of crap, of course, but certainly he does stuff like this all the time, moving on when he gets bored. Maybe someday he'll get what's coming to him.

You know, I really debated on my feelings for this one. The art is gorgeous, and I like the mind games and kinks, etc. I wasn't crazy about the rapey elements, even though they were very mild for yaoi. It was easier to forgive because the characters are supposed to be a little messed up, and it wasn't forceful like you usually see. It was all a little too convenient, but that's often how yaoi goes, and ultimately, the couple is supposed to be twisted, so the rough sex between them and the unhealthy obsession fits just fine. My problem is more with the many yaoi manga out there that contain similar themes but act like it's healthy and lovely. So that in mind, I really enjoyed the story. I can forgive the things that put me off, because I like the way that they fucked with each other, and I appreciated that there was a lot less beating around the bush. Plus, it's sooooo pretty. This art is amazing. I hope she draws a million more manga. I want to read it all. Oh, and piercings! I love the delinquent look, which I believe is what made me start reading this from the beginning. So sexy, ugh.

Damn, that took a turn. XD I had guessed the general concept from the start, but it was still pretty jarring to see what that calm, neutral face could actually do. Holy fuck. XD I fully approve. I love things like this where the more you read, the more the story transforms. Very glad I read this.
