otakulys's manga / #abuse(53)

Ugggghhh, I'm sobbing. My head hurts and my eyes and nose are all puffy. This made me cry so hard. That poor baby. I knew it was going to go in that direction, but it still hurt. What a sweet boy, though. I hope they both get good lives next time. I don't know why I'm torturing myself right now, but it's like I can't stop reading these things.

I've read this before, but I didn't remember what happened. Not much. Sad and a bummer, but at least the boy got something nice for a moment. It ties into the idea of loving someone from an innocent place, the fact that he shared with his dad even though his dad is a piece of shit. Definitely heartbreaking.

I love this mangaka, though this wasn't my favorite by her. Still, it was dark, sad, interesting, and complicated, like a lot of her stuff. I haven't read the manga it's the prequel to yet, though, so I wonder if I should have read that first. Poor baby, either way. I even feel sorry for the uncle, because he lost his mind. He wasn't like that from the start. I do have to ask, though, why did people tag this as incest? Am I missing something, or were there just that many people confused by the fact that he calls him uncle? He was dating his mother. They aren't related in any way, biological or otherwise.

Hmm... Kind of weird and rushed, but it has potential. I'll raise the stars based on how the next parts unfold. Seems like pretty sad circumstances, but I'm a little confused as to what happened at the end of the first chapter. Maybe chapter two will help.

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.

I have mixed feelings about this story, but there's still another chapter to go, so I guess we'll see by then. It has a lot of potential, and part of me likes it, but I feel like it's also sort of executed in an odd, rushed, or maybe clumsy way. I wish we could have seen more of the bullying in high school. All of the emotional stuff was just glossed over, and now the story is focusing primarily on misunderstandings, which I hate. But I am hoping the conclusion really pulls it all together.

So sad! It made me cry, but I'm so glad they could be together in the end. I know the age gap makes it weird, but since the guy didn't know, I'll forgive it a little. I wish we could have seen more of what happened with that whole thing, and the choice to not show his face at the end is a little odd, but I guess it's leaving it open to just let us know he's happy and healthy. Finally someone loves him and wants to take care of him.

Wow, so sad and miserable! I dunno, I guess we'll see how it goes. I really hope this guy treats him well. It's like one shitty thing after another.

I loved this. I'll add more later.

Everybody wants to fuck this poor asexual kid. This story has me torn. I can make a better decision once it's finished, but right now it's hard to say. I don't like how pushy the seme can be, though they do discuss it in ways that other BL rarely does. This story is actually about trauma. Regardless of sexual experiences or desires, the character isn't sexually attracted to people, which makes him asexual. Asexual people can still love and desire sex. I know, because I'm asexual with a high sex drive. I enjoy it and seek it out, but I don't feel sexual attraction to people. The assault part could have been way worse for yaoi. I don't know, I have a lot of mixed feelings. The art is so gorgeous, and I do like elements of this. It's unique and focuses on something very rare--the sexual abuse of a mother to a son. It seems like she's never actually touched him, but all of the stuff she does to him is definitely sexual abuse. It's so creepy. Poor baby. Just the first two volumes out now, but hopefully the third will come soon.
