otakulys's manga / #cheating(17)

I'm always so sad for Bun. I hope eventually he gets a happy ending. Daisuke is so hot, but he's such an asshole. I'm torn between wanting them together despite that and wanting Daisuke to get dumped by Bun and his wife and both of them ending up with guys who treat them well. Or, even better, he stops with the lies and they just have an open, three-way monogamous relationship. I wish more stories like this ended that way.

As usual, Miyamoto Kano's stories are kind of heartbreaking. I'm still rooting for Bun's happiness, regardless of what that means. I'm bitter about Daisuke, but it would kind of be nice if they ended up together, just because Bun loves him so much. But Daisuke would have to clean up his act first. That jerk. I feel bad for Satorou, though. He's so sweet, and Bun would have been better off with him. Hopefully Satorou finds happiness, too, though I doubt we'll ever find out for sure.

Bittersweet as usual. It irks me how much Miyamoto Kano loves to establish OTPs and then have years and years pass between them seeing each other. She does that ALL the time, and it drives me nuts. But whatever. I think it's obvious how they all end up, even if it's years down the line. Kinda stupid how some of it goes down, but I do love the complex relationships she builds. And I love when exes can stay friends. Off to start Rules now.

Aww, nooooo, so sad! He really loves that guy, and the guy is a total jerk. Not that it absolves the first guy of his sins, but that's so sad. I can't say that I hate it, though. It was interesting, and it wasn't painted as healthy or anything. Still, my poor heart.

Typical rape to "love" sort of story, where the uke feels guilty somehow toward his rapist. Gross and unoriginal. Art was so-so, not great, but I've seen worse, so I'll leave it at 1.5 stars.

I admit, I'm kind of intrigued. I love stories focusing on polyamoury, rare as they are, though I'm not sure how I feel about the main woman's life and relationship. I mean, in Western comics it would be pretty obvious how this will go, but I see so much weird forgiveness in this particular genre. I really, really hope the main girl is the one who gets multiple lovers, or something like that. We'll see. I'm nervous moving forward, but I like the poly family right now. They're mostly not creepy, which is nice.

I love Kunieda Saika so much. I wish all of her work were translated. It seems like she hasn't written anything new for a while, either. I hope I see more of her stuff soon. I'm obsessed. This was an interesting little collection. So far, two chapters haven't been translated yet, so we'll see if that ever happens. Fingers crossed. I liked the first one the most out of the ones that were here, I think. Kinda weird and sad, definitely sorta creepy ending. Like, creepy uncle literally, not creepy as in horror. Hope the other two are translated someday.

Kaori Yuki is all about twisted romance. This was pretty confusing and jumbled, though. Would have been better if it were longer and actually had some character development, etc. Oh well. Vampire dude and manipulative boyfriend have a confrontation that suggests maybe they need some couples counseling.

I read it cause of the chubby chick, cause I like when the hentai has fat (or at least pudgy) girls, and the husband was annoying as hell at first, but sorta interesting. It was a big old mess, though, and it had the worst conclusion. To be fair, I did skim a lot of it because it couldn't hold my interest--which is a shame, because this had a concept different from most hentai--but the woman I hated the absolute most from the very moment I saw her was the only one to not only live, but get exactly what she wanted. Ugh, I wish there was a follow up with her getting her head stomped in. Screw this story. x_x Based on the way everyone acted, they all should have died. But especially that one chick. >_<
