otakulys's manga / #Yakuza(18)

Noooooo, update soon, please! I so rarely find manga that truly scratches that hurt/comfort itch. I crave this sort of thing. It's so dark and beautiful and messed up. It made me cry, but in just the right way. I'm not sure what to expect in the future, but I really hope that there's an update soon. I'm worried this has been abandoned completely, since it's been a while. There are so many things I love about this story. I wish there were more like it out there. At the same time, I wish that love triangles didn't have to end in someone "choosing." Why can't he be with both of them? They're all fucked up anyway. They're all so damaged, especially the ukes. You can't entirely blame them for doing stupid, selfish things, given the way they've been taught to survive. Anyway, I'm going to die if this isn't updated.

I like it so far! Only one chapter, so we'll see, but I have my fingers crossed for a really good story. And one that doesn't end in tragedy, because I catch hints of that in this sort of thing.

Uggggghhhhh, I'm already in love! She has the ability to immediately get me invested. I'm so glad she's producing more and more work. I hope it never ends.

I'm intrigued. It could go either way. Poor baby uke. And it seems like this won't be a rape-to-love situation, which is great. But I could be wrong, so I guess we'll see... I hate rape-to-love, so hopefully not. I just figure the other guy is who he gets with. I'm definitely invested, and the art is lovely. I could have done without the child rape joke that the scanlators added not once, but twice. I don't know why they thought that was funny. But I'm glad someone is scanlating this, so hey.

Still not enough. They oneshots are just little snippets, sadly. But it's nice to at least have this much, since they didn't get a lot of time in the main story. None of these answers any of the questions I've had from the start, though. Why did the mother leave? What happened to her? Why didn't they just come and take Yuki from the start? Why did they order the seme to kill chimera children if they actually support chimera children? Like what am I missing here? If it weren't for that stuff, the main manga would be near perfect. I still love it though, and I wish there were more.

Okay, what was with that final shot, though? Was there supposed to be more, or is there something I'm missing? Blah, I don't like that, but otherwise it's a great story. Very emotional and sad. I cried my eyes out and got a headache. But it's a beautiful story and I wish there were more. I love stuff like this. Tora is such a lovely seme. Their whole world is complicated but fascinating, and I'm so glad I finally finished this.

Eh... I dunno. It's only the first chapter so far, so maybe it'll be good enough for me to ignore the stuff I don't like. Immediately I'd rather the florist get with the cop. I don't hate the yakuza guy, but I do hate the mistaken gender trope, and I LOATHE "it's okay if it's you." There's no chemistry there yet, but I guess we'll see. Three stars for now, but hoping it gets better because it has potential.

Eh. The first encounter felt kinda rapey, like he betrayed his trust or something, even though he's used to being treated like an object and expected it. But I get it, it's smut, gotta get to the sex ASAP, even if it doesn't quite fit the narrative you're trying to sell.
