otakulys's manga / #crush(3)

Very sweet, sad, and touching story about unrequited love. The hint of hope at the end stopped it from being too painful. It's very realistic in the sense that the character would be ostracized for his orientation, and he'd be afraid of acting on his feelings. It's nice to see actual gay characters and not just "surprise gay" characters in shounen ai.

Read this again to be sure of how it all went, but yeah, pretty much as I remembered. This is a sad one. At least it doesn't go on long enough for them to live happily ever after, which I hope is not the natural conclusion to such a violent rape. But we all know how yaoiland works. For what was here, though, it's a sad, interesting story about obsession, denial, and unrequited love.

Haha, very cute, but way too short! I wish there were more about these guys. I love the art, especially the way the uke is drawn. I guess I'll have to give this mangaka a look.
