otakulys's manga / #hate to love(2)

Orenokotowo Yokushittekara Monowoie

Ongoing | hinako | 2000 released

One thing I really appreciate about this mangaka is that many of her characters are actually gay, not just "gay for one dude." I swear, most guys in yaoi aren't even bisexual, they all just like women until one magical penis comes along. Anyway, I also love her art, which is why I keep coming back to these frustrating situations. This is Minase Masara all over again. Gorgeous, stunning art; creepy, rapey couplings. I hate how forced things tend to be. Why can't both people clearly want each other from the start? This story is an exception to that in that both characters are gay, but it's purely tastes that are preventing an immediate relationship and not, say, the fact that they're related. (Yeah, I put up with a lot for her art. x_x) The characters in this one aren't super likable right off the bat, but I'm hoping it'll turn into something interesting. Fingers crossed! Four stars for now, given with optimism.

Aw, I really like this so far! Bummer that it's just the one chapter right now. I look forward to updates. I like when omegaverse stuff plays with the roles and stereotypes. It's nice to see an anti-rape seme, especially one who cares so much. I hope the story stays interesting and unusual. EDIT: Had to drop a star because I just can't stomach the whole "rape is okay because I actually ended up liking it" BS. Whatever. I still like the characters, but I wish they hadn't even included that crap. At any rate, it's up to chapter six now, and they finally have feelings for one another. I just hope from here on out, things are good.
