otakulys's manga / #Psychological(138)

It might be the translation in part, but this manga was just a total mess. It was all over the place and abrupt, full of a toxic relationship that couldn't be fixed by any means, let alone the minor ones the uke puts into play. But whatever. The masochist story was also messy but it was ultimately quite cute. If it hadn't been so all over the place, I think I would have really liked it. The guy being so concerned and loving over his guy while also being a sexual sadist was great. He was so sweet and loving, but totally kinky. It's nice that they work for each other like that. It's clear this mangaka has some pretty overt fetishes, especially with pain during sex. But I just couldn't get past the crazy plot and kind of confusing story. Again, I think that was mostly the translation, but I can tell things wouldn't have changed all that much if it were polished up.

Beautiful art, but it was just a rape fetish story. It had the humiliation and the mind break and everything. Just not for me. It was weird when it cut to the next shot and the kid is just dead. We didn't even get to see the fallout of that, but suddenly the captain is just horny for cock. I don't get the mind break kink.

Damn, I hate that this is a oneshot. I wanna see more high-femme boys as main characters. What a strange story, but I wish we could see more of it and how it unfolds. I also really wanted to see him bang them both. x_x Oh well. It hurts how rarely we get more Harada. I've read it all, but the days of constant updates seem to have passed.

Interesting so far. Someone posted something that makes me think a lot more of this has been translated already, but for whatever reason only one chapter has been uploaded here, even with two different versions on the site. I hope someone helps him, though. I hate stories where they end up with their captor and just get full on stockholm syndrome or something. That's typically how it goes. I hope he falls for someone else who actually treats him well. But I guess we'll see.

I dunno. It is what it is. Another rapey manwha with guys who are hot most of the time but sometimes have tree-trunk necks. It's not quiiiiite as toxic as Jinx, and as long as this bottom isn't like that miserable little loser, Doctor Dan, I may be able to stick around for the pretty art. Even though the things he was thinking during sex were so cringey. I hate how people love to infantilize the "receiving" partner. EDIT: Stop calling it your "tummy." You're a grown fucking man. Dear lord. The vibe of this is already off-putting, obviously, but the fact that he seems mentally challenged or something, like an adult with the mind of a child, just makes it all the more fucked up.

He has good ideas now and then, and sometimes I really wish he'd explore them more. Ultimately, his execution is just too clunky to be satisfying. He often either jumps around too much and too quickly, or he completely draws everything out for far too long. It's a shame, because he could do something really interesting with some of this, but it never really pans out.

This is one of the better Junji Itou stories I've read. It's still fairly clunky, and the final shot was kind of weird, but the idea is indeed disturbing.

I love the subtle shift, little things you start to notice before the full picture is revealed. It's very sad, though. I wish it were longer. I get the sense that this mangaka has a thing for sad endings, though, which worries me with her other work. I can't really imagine how that one won't end in tragedy, but it's too good for me to stop reading. >_<
