otakulys's manga / #Slice of Life(186)

Kinda weird. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I guess it could be worse. At least he didn't for sure end up with the guy who raped him, which is pretty rare in Yaoi-land.

Been ages since I read this, but I still own it. I loved it at the time, probably still would.

Gorgeous art, and I'm intrigued despite the fact that I'm sure the unhealthy stuff will be painted as romantic, etc. Typical of yaoi, and it's pretty annoying, but beyond that, I want to see where it goes.

I don't know if there's more to the main story or if the remaining chapters are going to be oneshots or something, but I really like this as is. I actually kind of wish there was more with the boyfriend and what not. I liked that surprise, and how he was tied to this dangerous man, but then it never went anywhere. At least it was sweet that it brought out the characters' feelings for one another even more.

Eh... Kind of wish I hadn't read it. It was rather weird. Kind of confusing. Plus, it felt like it should be a BL, like others have said, haha. I dunno, I guess we'll see what happens in the next chapter.

So sweet, if not a bit rushed at the end. I want to read more about these two. They're so cute.

This is sweet so far, if not a little confusing. I'm intrigued, and I want to see more of these pretty boys, regardless. The drug usage is interesting, but I wonder if it'll be a part of the story from here on out. It's sort of strange as an afterthought, but whatever. I'm eager to see where it goes, might change the rating to five if things get clearer.

Yeah, this is pretty bad. There was nothing redeeming about it. I mean, it's a rare case of the victim not ending up with the rapist, but I'm not sure if it even really counts when the rapist is never held accountable, and everyone is just down with how things went. This mangaka seems to feel that sex just isn't sex if someone isn't forcing it onto someone. That aside, the art is awful, the storytelling is poor, the dialogue is confusing, and there's just no reason to read this. I don't know why I still did. I guess just because it's hard to find stories where rape isn't happening between the seme and uke. But man, it may as well have been with how shitty and shallow this was.

I'm finally getting around to re-reading/fully reading all of Miyamoto Kano's work, but I'm pretty confused by some of the order here. This particular manga was oddly ordered on the site. I'm hoping I didn't miss anything. Maybe I should just find the DL to be sure. Anyway, this is her early work, so it didn't have some of the same emotional impact that I can usually find in her work. Still, it's a nice start, and I love how she has stories that span over multiple characters, etc. Not Love up next...
