otakulys's manga / #band(5)

I'm so glad I'm finally reading this author. Who cares if I have to get up in seven hours to go to work? I'm gonna keep reading what I can get my hands on until I pass out. This was a very sweet and sad little story, but ultimately it was satisfying. I'd like to see Arthur, even after the mistakes he made, find a happy ending, too. I'm hoping there's a spin-off with him out there somewhere, other than the sad little oneshot about his doomed relationship with Renji. Anyway, beautiful all around. This mangaka has instantly shot up into my favorites list.

While the way the seme treated the uke throughout the story was horrid, at least he didn't rape him, which is like 90% of the manga out there, so I can tolerate their unhealthy relationship a little more. And in the end, it really did seem like they were going to be kind to one another and treat each other well. So I really enjoyed it. Plus, I love Harada, so I'm naturally going to enjoy her work to some degree.

Haha, aww, I love this brother and sister pair. I wanna see more with them! I wanna see them both get some hot guys.

Three stars for now just because I'm... kind of confused? The art is fantastic, and I like what I see, but I don't understand what's happening. It jumps around so much with no clear indication of who's who, so I can't tell which things are old memories, which things are currently happening, and which things are random, supernatural occurrences, like the building appearing. Or was that even supposed to seem mysterious? I don't even know. So yeah, here's hoping it fills us in more soon.

I feel like this is one of those stories where I need to wait until it's all out so that it doesn't stress me out and depress me. I hope the way the main romance unfolds is satisfying. I hate straight guy goes gay stuff, but it's clear that's where this is going, so I'm gonna try to push the feelings aside. It could end up being great. The art is unusual and pretty. I just hope it doesn't go through endless crap with a rushed conclusion where they're together in the final chapter or few pages.
