otakulys's manga / #coworkers(7)

Very cute so far. I'd like a little more clarification on some of their communication, but it might be a cultural thing. It's a tiny bit confusing in one or two parts, but I'm enjoying it. Very sweet and fluffy, a nice contrast to some of the other stuff I've been reading lately. I look forward to the continuation. EDIT: Awwwwwwww, I love this! I love the way the stories connect, and I love the whole ex-boyfriends and similar tastes thing. I really love how both of the ukes became good friends. It's just so cute all around. I want to read about these guys forever. D: I really enjoyed this. It was so sweet, and it made me cry. But in a good way. Plus, all of the characters are actually gay from the start! None of that bullshit "it's okay if it's you." I wish there were more like it out there, just focusing on the lives of gay men and not making every story about guys being into girls then randomly wanting one guy.

I'm intrigued. Also, ew, they're that excited to eat hagfish? I can't stop thinking about how they use hagfish slime to make those artificial eggs you can buy in cartons. It's making me gag. That aside! I'm eager to see where this goes. I expect it to be the usual cliches, but I don't care, cause the art is nice, and that boss is hot as hell. Hopefully it'll be a pleasant journey with decent writing, pacing, and characterization.

Interesting start, though I'm hoping there's more involving what the uke has been through. I'm worried that it'll just be glossed over in the name of buttsex. Also don't like straight guy going gay for one dude, but whatever. It's so damn common. x_x Anyway, I'm hanging on to see what happens. This is chapter... two? I think?

I need to read this again carefully from the beginning, but either way, it was a pleasant read. I may have skimmed a bit near the beginning, mostly due to anxiety, but I really liked this story of friendship! You just don't get to see that as much. However, a lot of good stuff was too brief or glossed over. I wish it had better-explored those themes. Oh well, still liked it.

So, now that I've read all she has available on the site so far, I think my assessment is that I prefer her more emotional, complicated stuff to her smut. She has very specific fetishes that repeat throughout her stories, and that always kind of weirds me out with authors. Regardless, I love her, her art style, and her approach to most of her plots. She does seem to have a thing for insecure characters in a romance, but that's not all that unusual in yaoi. I do like that she offers characters happy endings typically. With one exception, everyone has ended up happy in everything I've read of hers. I can't wait to read more of her stuff. The only ongoing story hasn't been updated in a year. D: Noooooo.

Wow, despite the creepy premise, this was honestly not as bad as I thought it was gonna be. I'm not satisfied at all with how they handled the fact that this was all due to his unsuccessful attempt to rape the guy's friend, but honestly, the fact that they acknowledged it as being wrong at all is a big step in yaoiland. I love that there was that friendship between the two omegas, and I wish more yaoi focused on friendship like that, especially omegaverse which seems very set on alienating the uke especially. Not a perfect story, maybe not even a good one, but I enjoyed it despite its flaws. I like how hard the alpha works to earn the omega's love, and even in the end, he doesn't insist they come together until the omega is ready, if he ever is. That's honestly pretty sweet for omegaverse.

Wtf, lmao. Enough said.
