otakulys's manga / #Twisted(143)

It's hard to talk about this without spoiling it, though the tags will do that, too. It's great if you go in not knowing what to expect. It's very deceptive, haha.

Very fucked up, but I remember enjoying this a lot when I read it ages ago.

Pretty messed up, but I remember liking it when I read it ages ago.

This is super screwed up, but I kind of love it. The characters are aware of how sick the guy is, and I like that it isn't a story about a pedophile banging kids, but rather, the story of one of his victims grown up after all that time. It isn't as simple as one time revenge. The story seems to actually have substance, and I'm excited to see where it goes.

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.

Strange oneshot. It was too short and random to really make me sad. I don't understand what it was about or why that guy was there. Is he just some dude who likes little boys? Or was he serious about being a slave trader?

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.

Read this ages ago and don't recall liking it. It pops up on "disturbing" lists, so I see it over and over, but I'm not eager to read it again. Might try it eventually, just to be sure I'm remembering it correctly and my two star rating is accurate.

Pure smut, if memory serves. No plot, really, just lots of rape, but I'd have to read it again to be sure.

It was okay for what it was. I'm not super into bara, so the art didn't do it for me, but the story was... so-so. Some typical yaoi silliness, but it tried to at least address the emotional issues of the main character in the few short pages it had.
