otakulys's manga / #doctor(3)

Don't you just hate it when your grandpa binds your soul with a doll in a spiritual marriage? Don't worry, though. This is Yaoi-land. Anything goes. This story is kind of disjointed and all over the place. It isn't the worst thing I've ever read, but the plot points were very choppy, and the reveals were formulaic. The art was okay, but the plot itself was kind of dull and rushed. I may have liked it a tiny bit more if it weren't for the weird rape-to-love elements, but I dunno. Two and a half stars, but it won't let me do halves.

Meh. The only thing that stopped me from taking it down to two stars is that the pair from the first story still hate each other by the end, and it's still super fucked up. I was worried they'd start to fall for one another and the story would try to be cutesy, like that's possible after rape and humiliation and all that. Most of the stories felt like they cut off mid-scene. Overall, just kind of a disappointment. I've definitely read worse, but I'm already forgetting the stories I hadn't already read. I skimmed almost all of the sex scenes, of which there were many, because the dynamic grossed me out. Also, too many fluids. Pretty art, though.
