Utsukushii Karada

Complete | kashima kotaru | 2019 released

Mixed feelings, but I'm really intrigued. I like this one more than the other one by her that I've started reading. I'm curious as to how this will unfold. It isn't exactly shocking or surprising, but I still find it interesting enough to wonder what direction it'll take. Such pretty boys. Also, he totally saved that other boy from getting raped, but they aren't talking about that. Does that mean he didn't give a crap? Rude. EDIT: Okay, chapter four was kind of... odd. The uke took this crap up a notch. Is he some kind of weird virgin? I just assumed he had a sexual relationship with his sensei, but I guess it's more like he's just a possession. It creeped me out a lot when he started acting like a child throwing a tantrum, though. It just really reinforced the concept that this guy is mentally eight years old. He's naive and awkward, and being beautiful doesn't really make up for how much that gets to me. At any rate, did he scratch the tattoo? That's a lot of blood, if that's all it was. Though to be fair, I've never had a back tattoo, so maybe the skin was already just very overextended and thin.

Understated and sad, though definitely on the creepy side with that whole "I wouldn't have let her leave either." I feel like female deaths were really romanticized for a good portion of history, and you can still see it reflected in the art of people who came to prominence during those time periods. At any rate, it was an interesting little tale.
