otakulys's manga / #captive(8)

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.

Very disturbing. I'm not typically a fan of magical pills that make a character super into getting raped (since that's not what happens with roofies or aphrodisiacs or anything of the sort), but the story was otherwise interesting. And quite sad. I'd read it briefly before and somehow missed that ending. Pretty fucked up.

Definitely strange so far, still feeling it out. I'm interested, though, so I hope it goes in a strong direction. The creepy cult is an unusual thing in yaoi manga, so I'm eager to see more of that.

Stories like this really frustrate me, because there's so much potential, and it's all thrown away for some simple rape to love. I was really hoping the second story would just end after the first part, focusing on the messed up relationship they had that would mean they could never be together. It's better than what it was, and seeing the uke drop to his knees like that really grossed me out after what that jerk did to him. Being "in love" doesn't give you a free pass to hurt someone. The first story, I found the uke interesting but the seme boring. However, the art is so pretty, and I did enjoy elements of both stories, even if the way they wrapped up annoyed me, so I gave it four stars instead of the two it would probably get based on those endings alone. Also, I love the guy painting the house, totally like, "Ah, I see you're in chains. That's nice."

Damn it. I didn't check to see when it was last updated, and now I have to just sit and wait for updates that may never come. What's worse, it appears the story has a tragic ending. This is all bad news for me. x_x I was really interested in this, but I knew it would be fucked up. I guess I was just hoping that there'd be something worthwhile at the end. Oh well. I guess it doesn't matter anyway, since this may never actually be updated. I looked at the raws and tried to fill in my own blanks, but it's not the same.

Damn, I want it to be longer! There were things I didn't love about this, but it's so unique and complex. I just wanted it to keep going. There wasn't enough room here to do what could have been done. As far as oneshots go, it was a solid approach to the whole thing, making it a story he was telling. I just wish there'd bee more. :( Noooo!! My heart! The second story was really touching and sweet and deeply sad. I hate that we're left here, knowing that inevitably they're doomed. I mean, they're kind of doomed already, right? Either way, I wish we got more stuff like this, only with happier endings. x_x

lol

Beautiful art, but it was just a rape fetish story. It had the humiliation and the mind break and everything. Just not for me. It was weird when it cut to the next shot and the kid is just dead. We didn't even get to see the fallout of that, but suddenly the captain is just horny for cock. I don't get the mind break kink.
