otakulys's manga / #humiliation(10)

I don't like this one as much as the sequel. It isn't as careful and psychological. This one is more self-indulgent, I think, and I find it odd that the teacher would be so careless as to risk this sort of thing getting out when he'd carefully groomed the first boy over a period of time. It's an interesting concept, the process of breaking in a plaything, and the prequel was disturbing and sad, but very well done. This was... okay. It had a slight edge to it, but it ultimately felt more like typical yaoi BDSM than Harada's work usually does. Though that thing with the toy and the classroom is definitely screwed up. I've never seen that used in such a dark way.

That was... a very odd story. Kind of cute, but definitely weird. I liked the second one more because there was no rape in it. I like elements of the first one, but nonconsent isn't erased by future consent, and it bugs me. But whatever, the author clearly has a thing for very odd love triangles. The manga treats some stuff too lightly, but what else is new when it comes to BL? It doesn't surprise me, but I still don't like it. Anyway, it was entertaining, and I did like some of the cute twists on certain tropes. Everyone was an asshole in the first story, so at least they were more likable in the second.

Definitely messed up and sad. Seems to imply that the leader was in love with him all along, but clearly had some serious mental issues. It's so brief and abrupt that it's hard to get into, so it reads as torture porn, essentially. It's just there for the cruelty. I wish they'd done more with the concept instead of just ended it there. Also, this artist clearly has a pee fetish, based on her other work.

Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!! I just noticed this hasn't been updated in a year. Please, someone get back to translating it. This is the first Omegaverse manga that I've truly enjoyed. It doesn't brush over horrible things like rape, and it sets up how hard and depressing this dystopian kind of world is. The love between the main two is so touching, and there's no expectation on the seme's part. The fated pair thing is a complication, but I hope that ultimately they're able to overcome it and stay together. This manga made me cry, and I just love how raw and sad it is, without being totally hopeless. I so rarely actually like the main pairing in omegaverse stuff, but this is perfect. So it really sucks that I'm stuck trying to decipher the partially uploaded, untranslated scans in the meantime. Not fair. ETA: Ugggghhhh, so sad! I'm totally crying. I want them to all be happy and stay with the ones they love! This is gonna kill me. It seems like they're all gonna break up. But I hope they can fight fate. Ugh, please update soon. I have to know what happens. Maybe we'll luck out and get another chunk of updates, chapter 9 and on. Edit: Noooooooo! How is chapter nine even more painful? I mean, obviously it will just get worse from here, but I don't think my heart can take this. I appreciate that someone is translating it at all, but the pause between chapters is killing me. I'm so scared that this isn't going to end the way that I'm hoping. I don't even know what to think. EDIT: Taiga, quit being a little bitch. EDIT: This manga hurts my heart in all the right ways. I've been sobbing this entire time. Totally thrilled that there's more, but man, that is definitely painful. Still, I have hope for them. Even if the memories never come back, hopefully he'll be able to start gaining new ones again eventually. EDIT: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHHH, MY HEART! DX I'm over here sobbing. This is so beautiful. I love this manga so fucking much. It hurts in all the right ways, and it ends on a beautiful and hopeful note. Absolute perfection. Thank you so much to the scanlator, man! I could have ended up never reading this amazing story.

Is there a duplicate on here? I thought I read and rated this one already. Huh. Anyway, this isn't even the worst thing she's done to him, lol. I love Harada, but that woman loves to torture her fave characters. I understand, though. I'm the same way. Regardless, it would have been nice to see Gin return in time to see what he let happen. I'm fine with the hardcore stuff, but I'm really in it for the hurt/comfort, which we don't get here. Boo. I've never seen the anime and only read the doujinshi because Harada is one of my fave mangaka, but I wonder how accurately she depicts these characters, haha.

Cute little story. Nothing too amazing, but sweet enough. I think with the right writer, an expansion on the story could have made it more interesting. But that's okay. It was quick and sweet.

Super rushed and twisted. Very creepy seme. I had a feeling, for some reason, that that was his secret. Interesting, for sure. SPOILER BELOW + + + I'm hesitant with the tags here, because I've learned that "hermaphrodite" is actually an offensive term. I think "intersex" is the preferred usage? But that might actually apply to something else. I don't know the ins and outs. At any rate, I gave it a bit more points for including it at all, but I'd like to see this sort of thing explored beyond a fetish. It was too quick of a story for what it was about, which made it pretty clear that this was either just a kink, or meant to shock. So yeah, not amazing, but... there was some potential beneath it all, which is why I gave it a three rating rather than the two it probably deserves.

Very unusual, detailed art, and it's definitely pretty. The story itself leaves something to be desired. It's okay so far, I suppose, but I was honestly kind of uncomfortable when the guy was watching in the bathroom. Just not my kink, I guess. To each their own! My problem is that I'm not a fan of "straight guys going gay," or "it's okay if it's you," so I'm already kind of wary. I'll stick around and see what happens, though.

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.
